Along with custom routes, I wish they had a similar feature to Google Maps, where you can choose a more fuel-efficient route. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't always the fastest route if it meant I could save maybe 1% to 5% battery getting to my destination. Whether that be taking city streets...

I wanted to have an automation that can shut off my phone key (for security reasons) after I get a certain distance away from the vehicle or arrive at a certain location. The issue is that the only way to trigger this reliably through the Shortcuts app on iOS is using Bluetooth, and that doesn't...

Wow, I wonder what caused them to want to release a new FSD version for HW4 vehicles so quickly. In my opinion, FSD 14.3.5 has been pretty great for me so far, but I've only had it for a little under a week. Maybe these small dot releases are Tesla's way of slowly introducing more of that...

I love the addition of a lot of these features, but I wish they would focus more on a few quality-of-life updates for at least 1 update cycle. Here are a few I can think of off the top of my head: - Memory seating and air vent position for front passenger - Control rear vents from Tesla app -...

Man, I can't wait for the day I can catch a robotaxi ride from Miami to Orlando in either a paid ride or my own vehicle. What a time to be alive!

Tinfoil hat time... I think this is for that future they keep bringing up every once in a while with distributed compute. In other words, using the robotaxis that aren't doing anything for computing other things or training more FSD models.

I like the idea of FSD being able to remember and learn from parking preferences, but the other stuff seems like it wouldn't be a great idea unless they put some really heavy restrictions on it due to bad actors. Personally, I also haven't had issues with HOV lanes, but then again, in Florida...

I hate to say it, but I agree with the NHTSA here. There are a few times that I have come across older Model 3s and Ys that are blindingly bright. I think most of it isn't due to just the brightness of the headlights but also that they are aimed a bit too high. This is especially dangerous on...

I fully and wholeheartedly agree. When I bought my 2024 Model 3 Long Range AWD, it was rated for 341 miles when new, and that is under ideal conditions. Now with nearly 37,000 miles on the odometer, I'm already down roughly 6% of total battery capacity, which isn't terrible, but still isn't...

Very true. I guess that an eventual solution could be to use FSD's smarts to identify things like buildings and other obstructions before allowing full accelerator input, but then again, by the time FSD is that smart, we may not even be allowed any sort of input at all until it is disabled.

I wonder how much power these charging locations are permitted to draw from the grid. Can the station be completely full, with every Semi charging at maximum power, or does it have to throttle charging speeds like a typical Tesla Supercharger site? I’m guessing it’s the latter, which would mean...

FSD saving a chicken's life recently while it crossed the road.

It truly is astonishing how little accountability people will take on their part when they know that they are the ones that messed up and try to find any excuse to weasel their way out of the consequences. Truly a tragedy this even happened. Hopefully the person who caused it will be put behind...

I saw this car driving around today through various areas and thought that the sensor suite looks awfully similar to what Tesla uses for their LiDAR ground truth vehicles in areas where they are working on or expanding the robotaxi service. But I wasn't sure if it was related to Tesla or one of...

I don't think they are doing FSD transfers ever again since they stopped selling FSD purchases a few months ago. If I recall correctly, you now have to subscribe if you purchase a new car and FSD will not transfer.

I really wish the Starlink plans would be more affordable, as I'd love to have the mobile one for travel, but it is simply WAY too expensive to justify. Even for my home internet, I only pay $80 a month for 1 Gbps up and down. Not even my mobile plan is that expensive. I understand it is...

But why? Why not just allow riders to control the air vent direction straight from the display in the car? This seems like an overly complicated thing to do, especially when you can just have them set it once in the vehicle and then it remembers that setting for any future rides. That said...

I can definitely understand why. On my recent test of the service in Miami, it really does take its time and "thinks" through scenarios and certainly doesn't have that same sort of "rushed" feeling that my own personal car with FSD has. But I'm still curious to see how it will fare in the more...

The beginning to the end of HW4 started when HW5 was first announced and confirmed. That said, the thing we should be hoping for, and in my opinion, pushing Tesla more on, is to allow for retrofits, especially since now is the best time to do so while the new hardware is still being finalized...

A specific facial expression comes to mind while reading this, and it's: 😬 I truly do hope that our current HW4 cars are fully capable of some form of unsupervised FSD. As it stands, I don't plan on buying another car for a minimum of another 5 to 7 years and potentially more depending on how...
