    Potential for HW3 cars

    I know nothing about the patent process and timelines. Given the patent was just published a few days ago, I wonder if this aligns with the 14-lite rumors, or if it means nothing for 2026. I never had faith that a HW3 retrofit would happen. Too large and too expensive now with the increase in...

    Discuss: Tesla Update 2025.45.8 (FSD V14.2.2.3) Release Notes

    Having worked in the software world my entire career, it truly feels like Tesla IT is a mess regarding their merge and release strategies. There is no real reason why HW3 cars shouldn't get some of the garden-variety features being rolled out to others. I never felt frustrated owning a regular...

    What happened to software updates ?

    I've grown disinterested in my 2022 M3 over the last year (aside from being a legacy vehicle that may never get past FSD 12.6.4). There are plenty of features available on Ryzen that most certainly could be handled by Intel. Doing light research on what features traditional automakers have...

    Discuss: Tesla's Roadmap for 2026

    Not unlike many things these days, I don't believe it until I see it. Tesla leaks or statements from the company have no basis in reality until they actually happen. I would not be shocked if 12.6.4 is the end of the road for us legacy vehicle owners. I've been in IT my entire career. I know...

    Discuss: NHTSA Opens Investigation into Tesla’s Emergency Door Release

    I sort of understand how invested people get in religious or political discord, but I will never understand such staunch arguments over inanimate objects.

    This is hilarious. I thought I mistakenly clicked on a Fox News comment section.

    Discuss: Tesla Update 2025.45.6 (FSD V14.2.2.1) Release Notes

    I'm in the same camp. The money has been spent, and the car will be paid off in a year. Even v12 FSD significantly reduces the fatigue of long drives, and I rely on it. Aside from FSD, I'm baffled at the features released to Ryzen chips only that most certainly would work on Intel too. It might...

    Discuss: Tesla Update 2025.45.6 (FSD V14.2.2.1) Release Notes

    It would have been a pleasant Christmas surprise if we, legacy owners, had received the FSD 13 or 14 lite version. I'm counting on it never happening. Tech moves fast, and tech companies are rarely in the business of supporting the old stuff anymore.

    Discuss: Tesla Delays Next-Gen AI5 to Mid-2027; Cybercab Will Launch on AI4 Hardware

    I suspect that has a trickle-down impact on V13 or V14-lite for us losers in old (2022) cars.

    Discuss: Tesla's 2025 Holiday Update: What to Expect This Christmas

    I wonder if HW3 vehicles will get anything. I've had three updates in the last month or so, and none of them did squat except the .44 added the grid view to Dashcam. Woooooo.

    Discuss: Tesla to Add 15 New Visualizations to FSD [Photos & Video]

    I'll believe HW5, 6, 7...when I see (if I see it). Until AI is sentient, I don't think so to the point I can take a nap while driving. ICE vehicles continue to also get "hands off technology," but a human being WILL F things up. It's not a matter of trusting your Tesla. You also have to...

    Discuss: Tesla to Add 15 New Visualizations to FSD [Photos & Video]

    Honestly, I have no interest in unsupervised. Even if FSD were zero defects, it wouldn't fix the defects in other drivers on the road. I get it on geofenced Waymos, but I'm not going eyes-off on a 300 mile roadtrip, kicking back, and playing games on my phone. That said, I'd still like some...

    Discuss: Tesla to Add 15 New Visualizations to FSD [Photos & Video]

    I've never been a leaser. Had I really thought through the hardware implications, I might have gone that direction with a Tesla. Naively, I was thinking only of software. Surely, new hardware wouldn't be required every two years. Ha. :rolleyes:

    It's always interesting seeing how frequently people trade up. That's not my thing. I don't do it with my $1000 phone or my $55K car. I'm getting used to being left out of Tesla's focus. I sound like a broken record, but unless Tesla reaches unsupervised status on HW6 or 7 or 8, I see no...

    Discuss: The “Standard” Tesla Experience: More Feature Cuts Revealed

    It's one thing to deal with different versions of software depending on model, age, hardware, and chip. It's a whole other thing if they begin removing native car (not software) features. It's like going back to the day when a cassette player and AC were options. Most modern cars have heated...
