    Discuss: Tesla Autonomously Delivers Its First Vehicle to Customer — And It’s More Impressive Than Expected [VIDEO]

    I figured it had to be some sort of loophole, because I did drive for Uber and Lyft for a short while a few years back. And one of the requirements was to have some sort of insurance that covers the occupants in the car in the event of a collision. Kind of cool that this is possible, and it...

    Discuss: Tesla Robotaxi: A Breakdown of Its New FSD Abilities

    I think those who are familiar with FSD and how Tesla operates (to a minimal extent), already knew that whatever these Robotaxi Model Ys are running, is in some form going to be the next FSD update. The question is not only what features will make it to the consumer version, but also, when. The...

    Discuss: First Recorded Tesla Robotaxi Intervention: UPS Truck Encounter [VIDEO]

    I agree with Prescott here. The entire situation is one I have encountered many times before, and is always awkward to navigate. Regardless, I do wish the safety monitor had not intervened to see what the RT would actually have done in that scenario, but it is understandable that they did, as...

    Discuss: Tesla Sends Out Robotaxi Ride Invites for This Sunday — Here’s What to Expect

    I've honestly given up hope of receiving any FSD update before mid to end of July at this point. And even then, I feel like that is optimistic.

    Discuss: Tesla Sends Out Robotaxi Ride Invites for This Sunday — Here’s What to Expect

    I'm unsure what you are stating here. From what I read in the article, they clarified and said that there won't be anyone in the driver's seat, but there will be a safety monitor in the passenger seat. Here is the direct quote from the posted article: The part that got me most interested and...

    Discuss: Tesla’s Next-Gen FSD Computer (HW5 / AI5) Rumored to Deliver 5x More Power

    I suspect this is going to be like smartphones, or other electronic devices. Which truly does not make sense to me when it comes to a vehicle, whether EV or otherwise. I do not understand why Tesla doesn't just over build the computational power right from the get-go. Why only build the hardware...

    Discuss: 2025.20.3 Official Tesla Release Notes

    I am by no means a software engineer, but maybe the reason that you can see it in Autopark but not while manually parking is because it is using the FSD computer to show it during Autopark. Whereas when you are manually parking, it reverts to using the normal MCU processor that displays all the...

    Discuss: Driverless Tesla Robotaxi Spotted on Camera in Austin [VIDEO]

    That's awesome! Hopefully this means us mere mortals will be getting an FSD update soon as well. Likewise, I am hoping this won't increase the price of FSD further, and that they don't fork unsupervised from supervised. Fingers crossed everyone!

    Discuss: New Model Y Performance Hits Nürburgring -- Our Best Look yet at the Upcoming Performance Model [VIDEO]

    Haha! So true! I care just a small bit about performance (0 - 60), but what I care about more is how efficient the car can be, its charging curve, and its total range as well! Imagine a world where even a base model Y could get 350 miles of range even in highway driving, now wouldn't that be...

    Discuss: Tesla Stock Plunges Amid Musk and Trump Feud: A Timeline of Today's Events

    It is hilariously childish what is unfolding between these two. In all honesty, at this point, I feel as though Elon is just doing more damage to the companies he owns than anything else. I love my Tesla, and the value it has provided to me, but I can't bring myself to buy another one if this...

    Discuss: NJ Turnpike to Force Replacement of Tesla Superchargers with Less-Compatible CCS1 Chargers

    The smell of corruption and backdoor deals is palpable.

    Software update wishlist

    Apple like location sharing options. It would be fantastic if Tesla's built-in navigation could have a button or feature, where you can share your location and ETA information with someone. Similar to how Apple has the “Check-in” feature in iMessage, or location sharing with ETA in the Apple...

    List of software bugs

    I think the issue here is not so much the stopped cars on the side of the road, but instead a combination of things. ACC in these cars is not as sophisticated as FSD, but still somewhat clever. The combination of the fact that you aren’t centered in a lane, and have the cars on either side could...

    Discuss: Tesla Launches Approved Window Tinting Service in Collaboration With XPEL

    I have had XPEL Prime XR Plus window tints on my Model 3 LR since a week after I took delivery. The price is by no means inexpensive, but it is well worth it. The difference you feel in hot climates is drastic. To the point, that you can actually feel the difference, when you get into other cars...

    Discuss: Elon Confirms Tesla Robotaxi Is Ahead of Schedule — Already Driverless, Opening to Public in Late June

    This is great and all, but I am more curious to know about the consumer version of FSD. What is going on in that front? At this point it’s been months since we have received a meaningful update, and it doesn’t appear that Tesla is planning on releasing a new version any time soon, let alone...
