It will be interesting to read Tesla's next lie in two days.

I agree with you, but I'm not going to stress about it. When the car was new, I was one of those running to the garage 5 times a day checking for the holiday update. I paid for FSD in full in late 2021. I was ignorant about the hardware limitations at that time and infatuated with the car. Now...

It's been radio silence since the article from a few weeks ago. I've quit waiting and mostly quit caring. It's against my nature, but I'm slowly learning to accept "it is what it is" and not fret over things like this. It's easy with tech to fall into the "latest, greatest" routine. I'm about...

What's the over/under that a v14 lite will ever actually appear? My confidence is low.

Did it again this morning at another location. 4-lane highway. Center two lanes go north (where I needed to go). The left lane ends up going west. The right lane ends up going east. In the center lanes, there is stop-and-go traffic. FSD decides to get in the "go west" lane with clearly no time...

The lane changing exists on 12.6.4 too. I won't list the many examples, but there are bad "decisions" happening that used not to, especially during rush hour, when the lane I'm in is clearly THE ONLY one I should be in, where the freeway splits into two other freeways. It will be stop-and-go...

With you on this. I was first surprised to see a release with "features." Then I read them, and not a one is useful for me. I was browsing some Tesla subreddits, and there are many people who feel completely satisfied with their HW3 cars and FSD 12.6.4. I guess I'm hard to please.

That's a definite thing with my Mom. She lives about 90 minutes away, and it's either her phone, Chromebook, Spectrum box, WiFi, or the list is endless. So I can't easily stop by for a fix. When I visit, half the visit is spent resetting all her tech. My Mom drives a Buick SUV and never leaves...

My Mom is 86 and very technically non-inclined and almost afraid of tech. She can do the very basics on her iPhone. She still pays her bills with a check and buys things with cash. The acceleration alone would be enough for me not to have her in a Tesla. I could envision her accidentally...

I agree. Naively, when I drove off the lot in 2021, I expected it to be like a golf cart (not thinking about outside and road noise). ANC would be a great add.

Don't ban me, but there is a Uranus joke waiting for this story. Maturity level of a 12-year-old.

Yeah, sure.

The answer is no. I don't feel the need to elaborate, except it's another Musk delusion.

I guess I'm not a futurist. Humanoid robots == Fail. The use cases are Musk's wildass and stupid ideas. Factories already use robotics effectively. They don't need to resemble a human. As far as the home is concerned, rich people's novelty.

I would enjoy my $1.25, ten years from now. 🤣 I know you're right, just hypothetical given the shenanigans Tesla does.

This is concerning. I bought FSD when I bought the car, so presumably, I'll continue to have it, though I'm stuck on 12.6.4 because of HW3. But they could paywall other tablestakes features that I enjoy. It's at the far end of the spectrum, but in theory, they could slap a fee on streaming Apple...

I bought FSD outright when I bought my M3. In late 2021, there was no subscription, and I bought it hook, line, and sinker that Tesla would deliver for MY CAR. Not for 3 or 4 generations of hardware later. Whatever the future brings and whatever car I have then, I will never do a subscription...

I don't know what my future holds, but it's unlikely to be another Tesla. I hope to retire in 2028 and possibly relocate to a place with a year-round moderate climate, in or outside the US. I also want to minimize and simplify my life during those years. If that pans out, a higher-end...

That actually concerns me if they begin putting anything under a subscription (like the MyQ garage door thing). I tried it for a year, thinking, WTH, $40 is too much, but it might be nice to never deal with the garage door opener again. Over time, it had its hiccups and wasn't worth $10/year...
