    Discuss: Tesla Rolls Out FSD V14.3.5: First Impressions & What's New

    I really wish they would add a link to a page that does a full, detailed breakdown of what they actually improved or are putting more effort into training for us FSD nerds. At least a general note that says something like "trained more for X and Y scenarios" or "improved smoothness in turns and...

    Cybercab spotted testing in Miami!

    I finally was fast enough to catch it using my phone! It was ahead of me, so I wasn't able to tell if there was someone in it or if it had a steering wheel, but this at least confirms that they're doing some testing to roll it out in multiple cities at the same time. This also seems like the...

    Discuss: Tesla 2025 Impact Report: 37M Tons of CO2 Avoided, 14,000 Tons of Batteries Recycled & More

    That is a lot of CO2 being mitigated! As far as FSD being more efficient than a human driver, I can definitely attest to that. On a recent road trip I did of roughly 250 miles (one way), I saw the car actually stay near its rated range for most of the drive, which meant I got to my destination...

    Discuss: Tesla to Launch Vehicle Rentals in 4 More U.S. States

    I honestly see this as an absolute win on Tesla's part! I would absolutely rent a Model 3/Y or even a Cybertruck for a few days just to go on a road trip in my state. Just the fact that I get free supercharging with it makes it a no-brainer.

    Discuss: Tesla Starts Rolling Out FSD V14 Lite Internationally

    That is somewhat unfortunate news for our EU friends. While I agree with their sentiment on the delay of the FSD rollout to HW3 owners, it seems that it came back to bite them, because now it will likely be delayed further due to the litigation process. Hopefully it will work out and HW3 owners...

    Discuss: Exclusive: Tesla Cybercab Includes Dual GPS

    Dual GPS antennas could also be extremely useful in places where GPS signal is often really bad, for example, parking garages. Maybe having dual antennas would help Tesla be able to tell not only where it is on a normal street or between buildings like a 2D space but also a 3D space like...

    Discuss: Tesla Model 2/Q: The $25,000 Car That Never Was

    As a lover of the hatchback style of cars, I really wish they would have gone through with something like this or a slightly larger wagon-style car. Something like that would have me instantly selling my Model 3 for it. Oh well, I guess it wasn't meant to be, especially with the discontinuation...

    Discuss: Tesla Launches Unsupervised Robotaxi Rides in Miami

    I actually tried it, and it was pretty cool! As far as how it feels, it is pretty much exactly like my car, but slightly smoother and much more careful. It really likes to really take its time to "think" through scenarios. But other than that, it feels almost identical to what FSD in my own car...

    Discuss: Tesla to Use Cabin Camera for FSD Authentication

    I'm honestly kind of concerned about this having the same issue as the early Samsung phones that tried to do "Face ID," where they could easily be fooled with a picture or some sort of mannequin head with a picture. Hopefully if they do plan to implement this, they manage to avoid all the...

    Discuss: Tesla Launches Unsupervised Robotaxi Rides in Miami

    I had a feeling this was coming soon, but not this soon! I'm definitely giving it a try on my next day off!

    Discuss: Tesla Confirms FSD v14 Lite International Release

    I imagine that it does actually need to go through some sort of approval, but it definitely shouldn't take another 1.5 years if it is truly based on the same V14 stack as HW4. I'd say international users could potentially see it in their HW3 cars before the end of 2026 at the latest, maybe even...

    Discuss: Tesla Vehicles Now Drive Themselves Through Final Factory Checks

    Imagine when we reach the day that Tesla just automates every aspect of the assembly line to where it could be like those "dark factories" in China. I'm sure that will be significantly more difficult to achieve in the US with labor laws and unions, but this could mean significantly cheaper...

    Discuss: Tesla Hires Intel Veteran for TERAFAB Chip Project

    I honestly really do hope that this works out for them because if they can make a compelling enough product, then other companies will want in on that product. This has a ton of other implications as well for that entire space of tech, but to keep it simple, if it works out, this could be a VERY...

    Discuss: New Tesla Cybercab Details: Batteries, External Mics, Tow Straps, and More

    Fully agree! It seems that they really are set on HW4 being able to achieve some sort of unsupervised FSD, and I am very excited to see that future!

    Discuss: New Tesla Cybercab Details: Batteries, External Mics, Tow Straps, and More

    How ironic that I see this article pop up this morning just after I saw a CyberCab drive by me near the Miami International Airport! From a quick glance it looked like there was someone sitting in the driver's side of the vehicle, but I could not tell if there was a steering wheel or anything...

    Discuss: Tesla Launches FSD V14-Lite: First Impressions

    It likely has a lot to do with different aspects of the vehicles outside just the cameras and their positions. That said, I still think it is mostly a case of them just needing a bit of extra time to validate and test the software on those vehicles before releasing it more widely. From the...

    Discuss: Tesla Launches FSD V14-Lite: First Impressions

    I don't think it is due to a hardware limitation and instead has more to do with the different size and shape of the vehicles themselves. This puts the cameras in slightly different positions and gives different view points, which I would imagine require additional validation and testing.

    Discuss: Tesla Launches FSD V14-Lite: First Impressions

    This is excellent news today! I wonder if in the future they will go to these lengths for HW4 when that also becomes outdated and incapable of running larger models. I'm assuming that if they keep their word about some form of unsupervised capability in HW4, they would not, but at this point, I...

    Discuss: Tesla FSD V14 Lite (Update 2026.20.5.1) Release Notes

    I think the reason is due to the larger number of MY and M3 cars compared to the MS/X. It seems like they run into the same issue as the Cybertruck, where there isn't as much training data on those models, so it takes longer to optimize those platforms. I'm sure it will make it to those models...

    Discuss: What to Expect from Tesla's FSD V14 Lite This Month

    Lol, I guess they actually met the timeline this time. I’m guessing that there may still be some early access testers that will post videos? Who knows. Either way, I’m excited for the HW3 owners since this should be a nice holdover until they get hardware upgrades going.
