They didn't say it was "Tesla counsel" that said it, it's a claim by the plaintiff that "Tesla" said it, but at the moment we don't know who he meant by "Tesla" (it could be as service rep as I suspect, it could be a sales rep, it could be counsel, we don't know). Read the actual statement...

Yep, it sounds exactly like what a service rep would say to shoo the guy away. Haven't seen anywhere that Tesla officially says or even suggests the car needs Lidar. It's also paraphrasing, which is many times even journalists get wrong when they are doing it from a recording (much less memory...

Right which was incorrect, but the video showed a 1/8 and Tesla's engineer later also said the same (that it was 1/8 not 1/4) when asked about it. That's still current gen 992, probably a previous gen 991 would be a better match: For example the 2012 Carrera 4 coupe/cabrio gets 12.7 which...

Yes someone did do a video on it and if you see the video Tesla posted actual you can see it's not the quarter mile, but rather the 1/8 mile of you look a bit more closely. My point was more that the results were close enough (for example Motortrend got 0.2s) that perhaps the CT might have beat...

I think they picked the wrong car. It might have been true in older generations of 911, but they have since improved. When Motortrend pulled a similar stunt with the Model X, they picked a Alfa Romeo 4C.

In above I'm simply pointing out why the reaction to lower speed signs is the way it is and that when equivalent braking and sign based detection is used by other manufacturers, the same thing occurs for the same reason (they aren't immune to it either). What you mention is a different, but...

This article linked by another member suggests Tesla's current E2E system is not a monolithic E2E system, but rather a modular E2E system (which explains how they were able to get it out relatively quickly with relatively few regressions, while keeping the UI mostly the same). Breakdown: How...

Most of them are map based and/or have the same heuristics Tesla previously had (basically a limit for how much and how rapidly the speed can be reduced). I'll give a concrete example, for example Ford's speed limiter system can't apply the brakes, it can only do engine braking. That...

They can't find an "expert" that have at least read the manual, even if they haven't played around with the UI in the actual car? That same list shows a German car that does worse too (the ID.4), so it doesn't really prove anything. The test is a steady state 70mph test which doesn't test the...

You may or may not agree, but I think Elon's pushback against Reuters specifically is on a couple of articles Tesla claim is misleading: The other one I remember was this one about a team to suppress range complaints. After looking into it, it was extremely misleading. The team talked about is...

Might not even be a tree classification issue, just a general problem of a "drive around" target that moves. The incident where the Waymo drove on the wrong way may be similar, where it identified a moving object as something it needed to drive around, except that object moved with it, which...

The torque sensors work rotationally. When your hand is on the top, you are applying most of your force towards the spoke perpendicular to the rotation of the wheel, which the sensors can't detect. You would have to put a slight grip to resist the natural movement of the wheel. It works best...

TSBs only applies to cars still within the warranty for the given part. Tesla have long argued the PCS is part of the general warranty and not the battery warranty.

There was a recall forced by the NHTSA to react faster to speed limit changes. Whatever heuristics/training it had previously to smooth things out was probably removed. Also V12 added the speed adjustment which likely uses traffic flow to figure out the appropriate speed. When there is no...

Yes, assuming your estimate doesn't show a labor component. Sometimes however whoever does your service request in the app may make a mistake when entering, so always check the estimate they send to see if they put the correct parts and if they added labor by mistake. When you do the service...

The estimate will show parts-only, then you go to the SC to pick up the parts when they are available. If there is a labor component, there will be labor written in the estimate. At least that is how it works here in the US. Tesla generally doesn't ship parts (other than accessories sold on the...

The Tesla documents shows the wiring diagram. https://digitalassets.tesla.com/tesla-contents/image/upload/North-American-Charging-Standard-AC-DC-Pin-Sharing-Appendix The OBC is always connected to the power pins, so a failure mode where there is external DC when the car is still in AC mode has...

Well, finally. Given NHTSA is taking issue with even L2 vehicles violating traffic laws, and given Waymo's violations are fairly well documented and reported, with would be bizarre for NHTSA to not investigate them also.

Like others, I'm not seeing why it's a safety issue to share the pins. The two pins are never energized at the same time anyways, so having separate pins doesn't really give you anything. The only reason why CCS ended up that way was because the standards bodies didn't plan for DC and ended up...

Called it in the beginning of the month. He pulled the same thing for Twitter. As I mentioned back then, if the labor market is bad (meaning other companies are also doing layoffs), the rehire strategy can work. If the job market is booming, people won't want to come back. If they were...

I was able to click through to the link that describes the different levels at the direct source: Automated Vehicle Crash Rate Comparison Using Naturalistic Data – Virginia Tech Transportation Institute

Betamax was a proprietary standard that largely was controlled by Sony even though they licensed it out for others to make some VCRs. NACS instead is provided license free and is now controlled by SAE under J3400. Tesla makes up almost 60% of the DC charging stalls in the US. Even if Tesla...

AFAIK every Tesla has a manual interior front door release. The older Model S/X used a two stage release (same handle, pulling it further when there is no power releases the door). https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/2012_2020_models/en_us/GUID-AAD769C7-88A3-4695-987E-0E00025F64E0.html The 2021+...

I have a 2021 Model 3 and I very much do not have a rear manual release (yes I checked). It is for this reason that there are instructions on how to install one yourself: You can check the manual for the 2017-2023 Model 3, there is no manual rear release...

For the cars that they switched to laminated rear door glass, they have added a manual release on the inside. The Model 3 used to be the only model with no manual rear release, but for the Highland they added it...

There are some cases where the distortion is a small area in the middle of the windshield and that can cause nausea and issues with driving. In those cases, I think Tesla is more willing to replace (IF you can demonstrate clearly the problem to the technician). In other cases, the distortion is...

I don't think it has been demonstrated yet a network that has high availability and is profitable without some sort of subsidy. Tesla subsidized the supercharger network with funding from selling cars. EA was subsidized by VW's mandated investment of $2 billion. The federal government realized a...

I didn't read those comments (like most people I don't read every comment on every thread I have participated in), but my point is that ranking isn't really a well known ranking or influential person metric (unlike others like Forbes rankings, or Time person of the year). Put another way, if I...

It still helps with AWD cars because when you accelerate the rear tires are the ones that are loaded the most. I remember at a certain point, the acceleration of a car is limited by the tire traction, so I imagine that is where the staggered setup helps (to be clear it's not the staggering, but...

I don't agree the Aztek was the inspiration for the swoopy SUV. Although it had a rear slope, the Aztek was boxy/bulky and nothing like the aerodynamic look of the coupe SUV trend. The inspiration for the Coupe SUV is the BMW X6. Coupe SUV - Wikipedia The only thing that the Aztek shares with...

Haven't even heard of that ranking until you linked it, I doubt he would care about that list, especially given #1 was given to the UAW president. The rumors of her pushing back against his order for doing layoffs is reason enough. All the reporting focused primarily on Tinucci, but note that...

From the reports on his lawsuit, he has not exercised any of his options, which is why I made that comment about him not paying taxes on them. Also the terms require him to hold the stock for minimum of 5 years after exercising, so it will be a long while before he pays any gains tax on it. I...

Read the warranty terms, any aftermarket part may invalidate the warranty for the parts it affects (note even though in this case these are OEM parts, Tesla does not officially support a retrofit and this is done aftermarket). This is because the manufacturer may blame your aftermarket part if...

Was there more traffic in the other times or lead vehicle(s)? As mentioned, this tends to happen when there is little or no traffic.

That would explain it. Incorrect speed sign detection may cause it, especially in FSD where there is a city driving mode (different from AP which is expected to be driven at higher speeds).

I only have experience with AP, but there's a few things you can diagnose: Did the set speed change? If so, it may be a mapping error where it thought you were on a local road. If so, have you had issues with the GPS popping you onto the wrong road in the map? It can also do that in certain...

I've been seeing more and more examples of it, but regardless of your opinion on how it looks, it certainly has huge road presence and is a head turner. Technically the size isn't bigger than the other full size pickups that are common on the road, but it looks bigger than it actually is. Many...

The addressable market for ADAS or AV for a personal vehicle is probably much larger than Uber. I imagine the Uber market is held back by people not using it for daily commuting, especially those living in suburbs where it is convenient to own a car. This is different for an ADAS package on a...

Actually he doesn't have to pay taxes because they are unrealized gains. He only pays taxes on the portion he sells and makes a profit on. If you are a stock holder you would see this all the time. You may hold the stock and the stock may rise sky high at certain times, but that's not real...

How about instances of breaking the law that a human would clearly get a ticket for? In most states going 1mph above the limit will not result in a ticket. As for passing a bike while crossing a double yellow, typically you also won't get a ticket if you do it in an safe manner and some states...

Or we can see 2023: 1,274 (up 6%) New individual connectors (stalls): 12,473 (up 14%) Connectors (stalls) per station on average: 9.8 (up 8%) https://insideevs.com/news/705972/tesla-supercharging-network-roughly-6000-stations/amp/ Even thousands of stalls can still be a massive slowdown given...

So the difference between parked and drive isn't voltage, not sure what it would be then. Have you tried testing the physical distance/separation between screen and Jackery to see if it may be interference through air instead of the connection?

He's not talking about anecdotal incidents reported by the media or public (which is likely a very small subset of the total), but rather the data reports (if they exist within Waymo) on incidents where the car broke the law. Under current regulations, Waymo is not required to report it. They...

That's for the ground truth vehicles, it uses that many likely because it wants a 360 degree high resolution view.

Yes, I just linked that in edit, actually the math is correct when using $1k not $10k, I remembered incorrectly. At $1k that is only 250 vehicles if each uses 8 of them.

Others reported the Luminar units are $1k each and Tesla data gathering vehicles have been captured using 8 of them, so that's only enough for about 250 vehicles. Edit as a sanity check, Verge which broke the story seems to be claiming each unit cost about $1000...

From the reports, Tesla had been a customer for a long time using them for ground truth for their training vehicles. As another put it, the volumes being purchase is not anywhere close enough to be able to supply the actual consumer vehicles. And as a reminder, similar things had been said when...

My impression too. I have a 2021 Model 3 (delivered at end of 2020) and it doesn't have IR lights for the cabin camera.

Right, nor would the incident of driving on the wrong side of the road nor the one driving in the bus lane and doing an illegal left turn, if the car didn't disengage.

Presumably you want to make a lemon law claim and you qualify? If so look on your Tesla account on a computer for your paperwork (or if you have paper copies, look through those) and one of the pages should have a disclosure that tells you how to make a claim in your given state.
