    Discuss: Tesla to Display Emergency Vehicle Alert When Vehicle Hears Siren

    This is a great feature. Would be actually great if, on top of what @PrescottAZRichard has written, it displayed instructions according to the local regulation, also because that's what FSD will have to learn to do, to avoid causing issues. For instance, I was amazed when in the US I saw...

    Walk Away Lock works reliably again. 2025.8.4

    That's weird. If the phone lost connection, well that would be a very good moment to consider it "away" (provided that the car is at a full halt, you aren't sitting inside, you don't have seatbelts on, etc.). Looks like an overzealous handling of UWB proximity more than the sheer direct...

    That's a fair point, but I find 7 more dangerous because it pisses off everyone around and thus can cause unwanted and unsafe rage reactions. I always drive on 2 (just because there isn't 1 anymore) and find myself often accelerating manually to cover gaps, based on my own assessment of the...

    Discuss: Exclusive: Tesla to Re-Enable 12V Power Sockets With New 'Accessory Power' Option

    It's nice to have the option, given the lack of real connectivity provided from the car - and, surprisingly, the car itself asking for external connectivity for its own updates. Would be actually great having it remotely activated via the app, so we can leave a mobile router inside the car and...

    What do you mean? Distance is a function of time and speed, and on any adaptive cruise control is factored with multipliers based on the minimum reaction time, which is exactly a second. Interestingly, when abandoning the radar for Vision we lost factor 1, guess why... So it doesn't really...

    Discuss: 2025.8.4 Official Tesla Release Notes

    Same here, however I mentioned .6 not .4. Anyway, it restarted today, from scratch. Not that there is anything worth waiting for, at least good to know I'm not lagging behind.

    Discuss: 2025.8.4 Official Tesla Release Notes

    Now this is interesting. Update 2025.8.6 stalled at 75% and disappeared. Looks like there are some big fat bugs out there.

    Discuss: 2025.8.4 Official Tesla Release Notes

    Mine got dangerously worse with the latest updates. Now if I I'm on autopilot/TACC I can't have the accelerator pressed (you know, trying to catch up with a car after a phantom brake, or overtaking a car that's moving to another lane), otherwise I cannot neither apply NAG torque to the steering...

    Discuss: Tesla Reveals Number of Cybertrucks Sold in Trim Replacement Recall

    Isn’t this the first (relevant) physical recall ever by Tesla? Automotive companies recall vehicles all the time, and for good reasons, so the fact that this makes the news is a bit preposterous. That being said, although I live in Europe and am not a fan of the Cybertruck, or any truck for...

    Discuss: 2025.8.4 Official Tesla Release Notes

    What does this mean? Edit. Ok got it, it probably relates to the Performance model with active suspensions. Which is the only reason why I regretted purchasing the Long Range. It's so wobbly that sometimes I get nausea. Rolls too much, I preferred the firmer suspensions of the former model...

    Exactly, that was even supposed to be an hidden easter egg at the beginning. And isn't that off by default? What's dangerous at night is the behavior of the automatic headlights after flashing at cars, as previously described. Curious to read if the experience in the US is the same as in the...

    Discuss: New 'Wile E. Coyote' Wall Video Puts Tesla's FSD V13 to the Test

    So, the facts, unbiased. Mark Rober comes up with meticulously engineered tests and walls and fools autopilot. But does not try FSD. Damn. Other guy puts together something way less meticulous - strangely when CyberTruck was engaged, wrinkles in the wall wouldn't have fooled the Coyote, not to...

    Reserve trunk opening on comeback I just realized that UWB trunk/frunk opening is nice but... not so nice. It would be more effective if we could "reserve" that the trunk/frunk open when the mobile is again connected to the car ("on comeback"). This could be done either: - via voice command "hey...

    Highland startup Hard to tell if this is a bugfixing or a "new" feature... fixing a bug. No, hell no, this is a bugfix. I just wrote "I think Commander could fix something that drivers me crazy about the Highland." to Enhance. Pre-highland, I would press the brake, buckle up, set the D/R gear...

    Discuss: Tesla’s New Deceleration Option: Regen Now Applies When Brake Pedal is Pressed

    That's interesting stuff to read indeed. However: Regen braking is not only good for range, most important it actually helps with safety since the car instantly decelerates while the driver moves their foot from accelerator to the brake pedal, gaining precious time and essentially reducing the...

    Discuss: Tesla Awaits Regulatory Green Light for FSD in Europe

    Let's see if they come up with subscriptions. For owners, let alone leasers and even less long term renters, it'd be a little off parting with 7.5k - furthermore for something half-baked.

    This is the point. Air recirculation isn't a feature you activate a couple of times a year, such as a defroster. Albeit a defroster is more of a security feature than anything, so good having it redundant all over the place.

    Re-read. I listed a few random functions that are available as 1-st level dashboard shortcuts on our Teslas and simply tried to make you reason that their presence is of equal importance as air recirculation, even just for a parallel with a standard car dashboard. Which makes your comment about...

    If that was supposed to be funny, you failed miserably. It just comes out as dumb. Why then having first-level shortcuts for mirrors? Seat heating? Apps opening? You could use voice for all of them. Doesn't make sense as a solution. First, voice commands are meant to be aids, second they don't...
