That better be some super clean air, I fear dust would collect between the panes and in the tiny holes.

Nice. Details like that are always appreciated.

Now that I think of it, are gas taxes by gallon or price? If there was a fair / easy way to do it by mileage that would be best. I live in the virtual middle of my state so it’s rare that I drive across state lines so all the tax money should stay in AZ, but those that live back east or on...

There's gotta be a simple, fair and easy way to figure out what taxes we should pay for road upkeep. Don't forget that the states have and can add to our burden.

Definitely a crude testing phase, that’s a good way to put it. Here’s what Grok responded when asked about weather. This is the last paragraph- Bottom line: Plain cloud cover is rarely an issue for Starlink—it’s one of its advantages over legacy satellite services. Severe storms with heavy...

Nifty. Does Starlink do better with cloudy skies than satellite services like Dish?

THAT is how you know it’s an official Tesla event. Now that I think about it- the next car model (or whatever they come up with) should be called The Delayed. 2000HP, 650 miles EPA rated range, 8 passenger, 0-60 in two seconds ago, the new Tesla Delayed.

Nifty. Time will tell how well this new material holds up under intense sun and other weather. FWIW the color reminds me of a kit car I had YEARS ago from Brasil called ‘Puma’. All fiberglass -

Good question! My GF's 2024 RWD LR 3 is getting it today and my 2026 S got it already. 14.3.2 and 2026.2.9.10.whatever. Seems VERY solid. That said- I would have been happy to wait for that spring update to be combined with it. I pretty much get my FSD info from here too, some YT channels but...

RWD Premium? This seems like a really big deal! If I’m reading the Tesla site correctly (in the US) the Model 3 RWD starts at $36,990 and the Premium RWD at $42,990. So Canada has it selling for $13k less? Good for them! Why not bring in the standard 3 at even less? Wow!

Yes, the signal too early thing was annoying to others. Today I only went a short distance but it parked decisively and fine. The car it parked next to was on the line and therefore I was nudged over too much for my comfort so I moved the car myself forgetting that I could just hold a spot on...

I think the only difference in .10 is that new disengagement menu. From 14.2 to 14.3- I *think* that’s when most of this happened anyway- turn signals don’t come on too soon. Sometimes they came on early enough to be confusing as to what the car’s intention was, mostly in city blocks. I had...

My gripe with 14.3.2 is it’ll go close to 10 over in a 25 or 30 at times now (in standard). Throwing it back and forth from chill to standard is uncomfortable but keeps me from 2 over to 5 over. Oddly it’s less likely to go THAT much over with higher speed limits. The driving behavior is MUCH...

Anyone else think that a weekend pass at $20 (hell, even $10 would be something) would help people experience and embrace FSD? Particularly if Tesla felt confident enough to throw in some insurance perk.

I was thinking the same thing about the CC, only that it has AI4 with camera washers. I don’t think AI5 exists in a meaningful way for them to be building dozens of CCs with it. If that makes sense.

Nice. Tesla should use the app to push the insurance biz IMO. I think they know enough about me already to give me accurate quotes on a daily basis. And yeah, if I'm using FSD then that should be a factor in rate calculation. Wasn't there another insurance company doing that already? With a...

So, what’s the ‘large‘ and ‘small’ model difference? I really feel that SMARTER ROUTING would make the version I’m on 1000% better. I’ve had it avoid boxes in the road, pull over for emergency vehicles and move over so I didn’t get side swiped all before I saw any of that. Routing is the weak...

I feel like Banish and Summon really need the FSD to be complete. That is- it is driving unsupervised AND no one in the car. Just because it’s happening in a parking lot doesn’t mean it’s easier. It may be more challenging in ways.

Bring. It. On.

Chill mode might help placate those accel concerns. My dad’s friend who is your mom’s age has had a 3 and now a Y for a while. He has an iPhone, so he was okay with tech before getting the cars. That said- he frequently opens the driver’s door while the car is in drive which puts it in park...
