    Discuss: Is a New Santa Mode Coming in the Tesla 2025 Holiday Update?

    That's pretty well understood, however it looks like a déjà vu about when they were distracted by the development of the CyberSh*t. After all, it's not that the car is so perfect that all we need are improved lightshows, Tron and new Santa Claus modes. Some balance is required, after all they...

    Discuss: Is a New Santa Mode Coming in the Tesla 2025 Holiday Update?

    Have we reached the point that besides FSD this is all we can expect from updates? I'm running 2025.38.9 and the last "feature" worth mentioning on my Highland was Low-Power Mode in 2025.32*. Yay. *Not to mention the Airbag "Improvement" which makes my wife so invisible to the cabin radar...

    Discuss: Tesla to Add CarPlay, According to New Report: Advantages & Disadvantages

    Everything correct. But for Waze users it would be a bliss. Pity as usual seeing Android - thus the vast majority, Apple kicking out more customers with the latest liquid sh*t madness - neglected.

    FSD Pricing is uneven

    And it gets worse on a country-by-country basis, other than by HW version. You can see that crystallized in the recent updates. I don't even look at them any longer, as for months there hasn't been anything relevant in my release notes... only "minor fixes", 3D buildings (which I had in 2020...

    The GPS altitude or the actual terrain altitude by cross-referencing with the navigation database? I'm still confused as to why the latest update is signalled as enabling satellite view on the map, which has always been there in my Teslas of the last 4 years. Perhaps they mean now it's "free"...

    Discuss: Tesla Launches Model 3 Turn Signal Stalk Retrofit in Europe for €660

    Actually I just reconsidered the knob for something I hadn't thought about... recovering the missed stalk.functions! So I put D and R in their respective driving directions on one side and on the other I put turning arrows, as they appear on the steering wheel. Like this I should be happily...

    Discuss: Tesla Launches Model 3 Turn Signal Stalk Retrofit in Europe for €660

    Commander is probably the only reason why I haven't sold my M3 yet, especially after the last updates. I did when I disabled it for excluding that the issues I encountered were its fault, and I wanted to crash the car. Disables the speed limit chime, disables autopilot before you inadvertently...

    Software update wishlist

    Full-screen visualization should make battery at destination more prominent When driving full-screen, without the distraction of the map, the battery at destination (or next stop) is relegated to the rightmost side of the screen, far away from the driver's eyes on left-seat cars. It should...

    Discuss: First Look at Tesla's New 3D Buildings and Maps in Update 2025.38 [VIDEO]

    Well, I wouldn't even label it a "meaningful" update. Probably the last was in 2024, with the exclusion of FSD advances, which, however great, are just for those able (and inclined) to use FSD... That is also Google's thing, not even Tesla's. Who uses that visualization, anyway? I always drive...

    Discuss: Tesla Launches Standard Model 3 and Model Y: Comparison of Features

    A touchscreen in an unstable condition is just an inefficient and ineffective interface, there's plenty of HCI UX/UI literature about that. When we as pilots have touchscreen avionics, we rarely use them in-flight, and always have access to conventional options, which MUST be available. Wet...

    Discuss: Tesla Launches Model 3 Turn Signal Stalk Retrofit in Europe for €660

    I'm reconsidering purchasing the stalk(s) from Enhauto. I was skeptical because they don't restore full functionality and was hoping for a real retrofit from Tesla, but after the news about the severely crippled retrofit and the stupid pricing, I might give it a go. Restoring BOTH stalks costs...

    Discuss: The Most Impressive Tesla FSD V14 Videos You Need to See

    Yes that's the point. When I read someone saying "but you bought it, you can't complain, you knew" it's all false and pretentious: everyone buying other cars receives these things as normal features. In a car with a dozen cameras, the last one would be expecting is one of the main ones missing...

    Discuss: The Most Impressive Tesla FSD V14 Videos You Need to See

    This video is an evidence of how stubborn they have been so far. A bumper camera is literally on the front line. Same as the rear camera, you wouldn't be able to exit some diagonal parkings by using the rear view mirror, since the rear camera is best positioned and has a wide angle view that...

    Discuss: Tesla Launches Model 3 Turn Signal Stalk Retrofit in Europe for €660

    I'm just at Tesla Service and they confirmed that the stalks were reintroduced exactly because of feedback left by disgruntled customers (he said 80.000!) about, guess what... roundabouts! Interestingly, he told me that the only meaningful way to signal something is to book an appointment and...

    Discuss: Tesla Launches Model 3 Turn Signal Stalk Retrofit in Europe for €660

    When you will try it, it just feels like a step backwards. Then you absorb the absence of the right stalk, kinda, until auto-shift goes the other way, doesn't react or overreacts during parking to the point of scratching the vehicle. Then you scream. The absence of the left stalk if more about...

    Discuss: Tesla Launches Standard Model 3 and Model Y: Comparison of Features

    I like the MY front better, too. Hate those light bars, especially the recent seen on BMW, etc. It was about time that they at least provided some sort of differentiation (by design since they already made 2024 and 2025 models "premium" compared to the first editions), although keeping the...

    Discuss: Tesla Launches Model 3 Turn Signal Stalk Retrofit in Europe for €660

    That's the point. Trust me, I'm good at driving, but after a dozen roundabouts in few minutes sometimes I want to scream. Depending on the radius, I might end up not signalling the exit, because every time the position might be different and the least you want to do is looking at the steering...

    Discuss: Tesla Launches Model 3 Turn Signal Stalk Retrofit in Europe for €660

    Perhaps in the U.S. you don't have roundabouts as in Europe? :) Signaling that you're exiting a roundabout when the steering wheel is in an awkward position (>180°) was one of the reason why there were stalks in the first place. That said, it's disappointing that the retrofit is only about the...

    Well, wait... just renaming won't do any good: 100% the file will not be recognized as an uncompressed wave form, which is the only format allowed. If a mp3 or any other format than wav was downloaded, it must be converted to .wav, otherwise it will be simply unreadable by the car application.
