In English, it's very flexible. But it's not so good when the speaker has certain foreign accents.

I never tried the French voice commands, and don't think I've used French commands on any car. I honestly can't remember whether rental car companies switch the cars to English by default. I'm a bit surprised that in this day and age French would be a problem. I have no issues at all with...

I've never had that happen, but I have had to tap the end of the stalk on occasion. It's not as bad as it was back in the days of intermittent wipers though.

True and I don't know why they didn't have that at least five years ago.

True, but cars are the only item where manufacturers are held responsible for things outside of normal use. You aren't likely going to get far suing your toaster's manufacturer if you smash it into a wall.

It's a bit harder for me to say. The sensor on the earlier Model S worked well in the days before they used the camera. I found that the new one was a problem when it came out, but for me it was an issue at night on unlit roads with rain that produced smaller droplets. I think that part of the...

Tesla is the only brand of car that I've had problems with the rear camera getting dirty, as well as having large water droplets cling to the camera, making it impossible to see out of it when backing up. It's a problem when in reverse at low speeds, but shouldn't affect the car's ability to use...

No law can stop anybody from doing this on purpose, but having windows that reverse based on pressure and the current style of switches can prevent a lot of accidents. This particular action goes after people who just want to close a window remotely that was left open a few inches, in case...

I wouldn't say that Navigate on Autopilot hasn't seen improvement over the past few years. Even the original Autopilot has seen improvement over the past few years. There's a difference between improvement and new features. AP1 hasn't gotten new features in a very long time. But there are...

I really don't think that the team working on FSD is likely to have the expertise to improve wipers. It involves a very different type of data interpretation from what they are working on.

It comes down to whether or not the government can regulate what you can do with the car on private property as opposed to functions of the car that need to meet safety standards.

"Since Autopilot was first introduced in 2014, it has relied on the application of force as a sign of driver attentiveness." Not quite true. Autopilot was released in 2014 but autosteer didn't come until the next year. The messages to hold the steering wheel were not nags, and were not there to...

The feature goes back much further than that. The problem was that in the 1970s, when most windows had cranks, those with electric windows had a switch that toggled from side to side. Pushing it toward the door made the window go up. So theoretically, falling against the door and window could...

Tesla took away the ability to open the windows with the fob in mid 2014. Apparently, it was too risky since somebody sitting on the fob could accidentally cause the interior to get wet in the rain. Then they took the same button press and used it to initiate summon. I can understand setting...

Tesla can't tell if you are using a weight if they can't tell when you aren't using one. For some drivers, merely placing their hand on the wheel will provide enough weight to keep messages away. For others, it requires active tugging, even if they hold the wheel full time. The problem is that...

It means that they can fix things on the fly, but will they? They broke USB support in the existing interface and not only didn't fix it on the fly, they didn't fix it at all and it's been broken for years. Hopefully if they are rewriting the whole interface, that part will get fixed because it...

The overall issue is that certain hardware is less capable or incapable of working with with FSD. Regardless of the hardware, it's a question of whether an upgrade is needed or required. In the case of the FSD computer itself, it's clear that FSD won't work without it. There are certain things...

That would be a harder case to win, especially if Tesla shows up. You'd have to make a case for why you had a reasonable expectation of access to beta program. Tesla is obligated to give you a working version of FSD, but they didn't promise you the onscreen display that is currently in beta...

This might help a handful of owners at a cost to others. This isn't a binding precedent, and Tesla could decide that short term subscriptions aren't worth it, if a person could get a computer upgrade for two hundred dollars and then cancel the service. If they don't offer the service, or have a...

It could end up being the other way around though. Aside from this issue, they make a good product. It's only if there's a competitive product that offers the equivalent without a subscription that it would be helpful, since you can already buy the Chamberlain and not get a subscription. It's...
