It's up to Tesla. You can open a ticket for Service Center to see if they are willing to take your money.

How worn out is your car? It sounds like it's time for Service Center.

Robotaxis are exempted from being ticketed in CA so it's only fair that it needs to be investigated and held responsible.

Phantom brakes also affect Zoox, being investigated for 2 different bicycles colliding with it due to "slamming on" its brakes. https://www.pcmag.com/news/feds-investigate-amazon-zoox-self-driving-tech-after-crashes

That was fast: Tesla begins to rebuild Supercharger team with former executive

CNBC report on the progress: It's a question mark but a contractor team heading to continue a Supercharger job was instructed to turn around in the middle of the way, leaving the unfinished station unfinished. But the opinion is it will be finished some time, or otherwise, it's a "liability" site.

Tesla location reflects it's last tire rotation movement. When it's towed on a flatbed, the location is no longer accurate.

I guess this NEVI-funded project is frozen until there's a re-hire in the Supercharger department.

Since it is in yours, you can configure the way you want in the Autopilot menu: 1) TACC or 2) Autosteer or 3) FSD Since you don't want FSD, you can switch to either 1) TACC or 2) Autosteer

Tesla was awarded with NEVI funds to expand charging stations. The problem is it has a 5 year deadline so there's no need to hurry up. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/analysis-teslas-ev-charging-team-100223709.html

It has some value for those go crazy about how awesome FSD is. Even within that population, you can't overcome the fact that the $15,000 didn't increase to a promised price of $100,000 but now fell to $8,000.

There's no question the department will be repopulated again. It's a the question of how much progress we'll see during the department destruction.

As @dandiggz explained. Tesla no longer sells EAP. However, if you have already bought EAP, it will not disappear. If you haven't bought EAP or FSD before, you are correct that Tesla only sells auto park and summon in FSD because it no longer sells EAP. However, if you already bought EAP...

The picture you included says "Enhanced Autopilot." So, it looks like you bought "Enhanced Autopilot," but you still mistakenly think there's another one called "Advanced Autopilot." Tesla has never sold "Advanced Autopilot," just "Enhanced Autopilot." You can see that acronym a lot "EAP."...

I think their goal is to penalize its competitors: residential electric producers at all costs including collateral casualties.

Who would dream that BP would want to raid Tesla Supercharger sites that are in limbo: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/bp-looking-buy-teslas-supercharger-sites-us-bloomberg-news-reports-2024-05-09/

It's sad because it encourages consumption rather than conservation and residential electric production. It used to be the more a consumer used, the higher the rate they paid. Now, the rate is lower to encourage consumption. The fixed fee is added to ensure residential solar production still...

1. It's not LA, it's Tempe, AZ. 2. Then it should turn right and reroute to the destination. This incident is not a good example for robots.

It looks like Waymo is programmed to be aggressive, impatient, and wrong. It wanted to turn left but was blocked on its front by cars waiting in the median. Instead of waiting for those to clear out, ít went ahead and turned left into the wrong way lane and could have had a head on collision...

He supported Obama in both 2008 and 2012 elections. He voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. He said he voted for Bidden in 2020. In 2022, he said he would start voting for the Republican Party. This year, he supported Vivek Ramaswamy in the 2024 Republican presidential primaries. His...

Another Tesla Charger that I forgot is for Tesla Semi. It's an infant. Tesla semi was promised with V4 Chargers: Tesla Semi Will Charge At 1+ MW Using New V4 Charging Cable For trucks, other have been using MCS (Megawatt Charging System). Tesla needs to work with MCS for a national standard.

I care about function more than beauty. I pre-ordered it for $79,990 because it would give me 500 miles of range. Now, it costs $96,390 for only a 320-mile range, so it looks like the function also failed, even with the sacrifice of the look.

The difference is that you can Navigate On Autopilot on City Streets. It can interact with signals to stop, go, and turn automatically in the city. Autopilot has 2 features: 1) TACC 2) Centering within a lane automatically. Within a lane that means it cannot automatically turn at an...

Yes, indeed: Only after someone crashes!!!!

Here's the reference for the Mercedes L3 at 80 MPH. I expect other L3 companies will have to catch up too: "Mercedes-Benz is focusing on SAE Level 3 conditionally automated driving with the ultimate goal of driving at speeds of up to 80 mph (130 km/h) in its final iteration."...

I would argue that the traditional way is about safety. Tesla seems to put profits before safety. Less cameras, less USS, less radar, less heads-up display, less physical buttons... are great for experimental robots, but drivers are not robots. In 2019: “We discussed a HUD [for Model 3]...

It's a baby small step to start a consumer L3 when a driver is no longer liable for accidents. That liability shift is huge. Thus, to manage it, manufacturers want to operate L3 in conditions that discourage damages and deaths. Some of those are: .Divided highways, no city streets, no...

Different people may have different preferences. Some hate China but they still have many Chinese products. Many parts in Tesla is Chinese including the computers. Almost all politicians voted to ban Tik Tok but many of them still use it to reach young voters. During the heights of Trump's...

Today's article says Innoviz supplies the Lidar, software "eyes and brain." L3 in Germany as of 3/2024. Testing in China, waiting for approvals. L3 ubiquitous and L4 incremental progress by 2030 or next 6 years. https://www.just-auto.com/interview/innoviz-for-bmw-level-3-autonomy-is-here/

You are still holding onto the good old days numbers. "Wireless charging for EVs is considered as efficient and fast as charging with a plug. For example, most EV plugs have 80-95 percent efficiency ratings. According to WiTricity, a leading provider, their wireless EV chargers achieve 90-93...

I guess that could be true because Mercedes L3 had lots of journalists and influencers test-drive theirs in both Germany and the US, but that hasn't happened with the BMW L3.

With FSD purchase, on the Autopilot screen, you now have 3 options: 1) TACC or 2) Autosteer or 3) FSD For convenience, I guess you can set up 3 different profiles once so you can manually change the profile accordingly instead of going to the Autopilot screen menu each time (have to be in...

BMW should be selling L3 in Germany by now. It is the second L3 being sold in Germany: https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/article/detail/T0438214EN/level-3-highly-automated-driving-available-in-the-new-bmw-7-series-from-next-spring?language=en Mercedes L3 is not allowed in the dark, but...

That means it works as expected now. There's no guarantee that it will continue to work fine like this in the future.

It's time for a tire service. Tesla doesn't honor any tire warranty. You have to call the tire company for that. As others said, I would just go to a local tire shop. Make sure they don't damage the main high voltage battery pack at the bottom of your car. Many local tire shops also sell a...

There can be many reasons or no reason at all but a slow down is still a slow down. It needs to be fixed and if the software team can't now, I don't think any of us or Service Center can.

Without conventional stalks, drivers have to take their eyes off the road to hunt and poke at the arrow icon. The arrow icons are arranged in an irrational place: Both are on the left. The left should be on the left, and the right should be on the right. Drivers are still pushing the wrong...

Those are very reasonable wishes. Even a cheap Hyundai can have a front bumper camera for real-time 360 video view... Cybertruck has a front bumper camera but it still doesn't have 360 video view. That means Tesla is no where near being a leader in 360 real-time video view.

Tesla wants 800V chargers. It promised itself that its wish will be true once it would install V4 Tesla Superchargers. Tesla has already installed V4 Tesla Superchargers, first in the EU, then now in the US. However its wish is not fulfilled because all installed V4 Tesla Superchargers can...

Tesla is a moving goalpost. Hard to tell.

Only 8 manufacturers want 800V charging stations: 1. Tesla 2. Audi 3. GM 4. Hyundai/Kia/Genesis 5. Lucid 6. Mercedes 7. Polestar 8. Porsche --- 9. Ford is planning.

You can take the fob battery off or place your fob in a Faraday cage so its signal doesn't leak out to the car.

Tesla used to be a leader. Not so much now. It's no longer the longest range in the US after the promise of 520 mile range for Cybertruck and 610 mile range for Roadster. The Industry is moving toward 800V while the latest Supercharger V4 is still stuck at 400V (none of V4 has 800V charger...

Sandy is wrong. Supercharger is not mature. The Industry, including Cybertruck, is moving toward 800V while Supercharger V4 is still stagnant at 400v. Cable length is still a problem for Cybertruck and non-Tesla. The promised NACS extension cable has not shown up. Vandalism and being ICEd...

An explanation of the move: .Cost cutting. .Change to a car company, not a charger company. Not good in the short term but competition will take over. https://news.northeastern.edu/2024/05/07/tesla-layoffs-supercharger-network/

Unintentional slow down has been a well known bug. I don't think those workers in a Service Center have the software skills to fix it. It requires the work of a software team. https://www.abc10.com/article/tech/tesla-phantom-braking-could-endanger-drivers/103-8b51ae85-e86f-47c0-aef2-099fb35135bb

For AC charging, the EU has been carrying its own cables in its EVs: https://www.thewattcar.com/home/byoc-could-bring-your-own-cable-ever-take-off-in-the-us

I think during the layoff period, a commitment to pay contractors must be crystal clear, and contractors should be able to talk and bill to someone in Tesla. Without that assurance, I don't see how half-finished sites can be finished...

It's human nature: some are good, some bad, the rest in between... Thus, a designer needs to take that into the consideration.

I don't know why, but the principle of all or nothing is the same: If you activate the pull (1 or 2 times), you get what you already chose on the screen below: 1) TACC 2) Autosteer 3) FSD We used to be able to choose between one and two pulls for TACC vs Autosteer/FSD, but now the above three...
