I can't see how this is worth the time / effort and energy to produce but I guess we'll see.

Good deal, it is a nice feature on my Y. I feel like the car knows its footprint better than it appears by the behavior. That is- it could prolly park in one try without re-orienting as it backs into a spot. Right now I feel the computer is super cautious, maybe to let US get used to it before...

I hadn't thought about steer by wire making LHD easier, and I'm embarrassed I hadn't! 48v might be asking a bit much at this point but why not (if it isn't adding expense or complexity). Even though I can't afford a new S anytime soon what I'm hoping to see is - denser battery pack at 800v if...

Interesting stuff indeed. From my experience (here in the USA) I think my Y knows its footprint and place in the world better than the car lets on. That is, when parking it'll adjust pull forward and line up better when it doesn't need to to avoid curbs or other vehicles. So right now it is...

Don't know if this will help but after my GF's new 3 got this build her car started walk away locking at home and also DIDN'T lock when parked at the gym. I deleted and re-entered our home addy and did a reboot. I saw in a TMC forum someone had a similar issue a few years ago so I went and made...

Interesting stuff, particularly that the regen is a 'wash' when using reduced because it happens when the driver hits the pedal as well.

Hmm. This seems like a good thing, but confusing. I'm glad there is a FSD version on the 'latest' branch of the car's software. Or firmware. Or both. But HW 3 cars are NOT getting the latest FSD version? I'm hoping this straightens out soon like an arrow leaving a bow string. Or my understanding...

That lower case 'e' really draws the eye in.. savvy move to get people to read the article :) Watching Lars makes me want to work for the man.

Well, no improvement with 13.2.8 from .7 when it comes to the small issues I've seen. Signals a block early for turns in town on occasion, etc. Still, feels very competent otherwise. I've seen people reporting better luck with the HW3 builds after recalibrating cameras. That might be worth a try...

I remember a YouTuber saying the driving in China was very different- more aggressive maybe. Well, FSD seems to fit! Doing so smoothly too. Any idea on what they're saying in the video? I suppose they could be talking about anything really.

Ah, so that's why there's a cut out in that beam. I hope the whole computer system is as future proof as the modem. This is also a good time for me to mention my concern again- These cars *rely* on connectivity. Tesla doesn't own any of the cell networks, and in certain areas they are NOT all...

Good listen if you have time for it. Lars really comes across as down to earth as well as driven. A rare combo :)

Check out Chuck Cook on YouTube, he does UPL videos frequently. That would be a good place to post your observations too.

This should be a sign of things to come. I'm curious about the math. Particularly the range & power consumption numbers. I *think* for me to get the rated range in my 2024 LR Y I need to use only 240 Wh/mile. This new Y is more efficient but when I do the math it comes out to 246 Wh/mile. Am I...

Yeah, let us know if you figure anything out like that. I'm hoping it fixes (at least) the signaling too early for turns in town here. It looks like I'm gonna turn a block ahead of where the car wants to turn.
