6zhde9 | Audi in for service | I took my Audi A4 in for service today and just got a call from a salesperson asking if I was interested in upgrading to a new A4: Audi Salesperson: “I saw that your A4 is in for service today. Are you interested in discussing options for getting in a new A4?” Me: “I actually have a pre-order for a Tesla Model 3 so I m just riding my current A4 out until the Tesla arrives.” Audi Salesperson: “Yea can t say I blame you there...” It was awesome no attempt to change my mind. | jeffherb | 2017-09-11 18:41:56 | 196 | dmvakf3 | Wow I m not sure whether to say that guy is a terrible salesmen for not trying to convince you otherwise or a great salesmen for not doing so and telling it to you straight | Athabascad | 2017-09-11 19:27:49 | 73 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
btbcmd | Audi sales representative continue to use the incorrect charge chart. | I read this thread posted 8 days ago about [Correcting Audi: Tesla Model 3 Charges Over 2 Times Faster Than Audi e-tron | CleanTechnica](https: pay.reddit.com r teslamotors comments bq1icg correcting_audi_tesla_model_3_charges_over_2 ) Today I saw this apparent Tesla hater post a video about the new Audi e-tron and they filmed the Audi sales presentation. At this presentation the Audi Sales rep used the same kind of incorrect misleading chart from the Cleantechnica article. [Link to presentation video here](https: www.youtube.com watch?v=sP4xOc-9vBA& t=589s) | Lindenforest | 2019-05-26 18:31:32 | 44 | eovmsya | **Caveat: Yes Audi should correct this....but....** I ve worked in sales and various forms of marketing for years. I ve created and distributed decks presentations like these for years for field sales forces of over 10 000 people.. I ve also experienced trying to keep field sales people up to date and staying on current accurate message. **Its nearly impossible.** Field sales people download the content once modify it for their purpose and then ignore all future updates. I say this because even if Audi corporate did the right thing and instantly removed the slide or updated the deck (and we dont know if they did) getting field sales to use it in a timely fashion is borderline impossible. It doesn t make it right of course but it does shed some light on the dynamics here. | mcowger | 2019-05-26 19:07:56 | 28 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
imluz2 | Audience questions for annual shareholders meeting | I m one of the lucky recipients of the email indicating being picked to attend the shareholders meeting and Battery Day event. After the initial overwhelming shot of adrenaline vomiting (hadn t done that out of excitement nerves since seeing my first baby being born... pinky promise I won t do it in the Roadster if offering rides) and booking the flight hotel it occurred to me that we may have a chance to ask a question like the other shareholders meetings.

e9wa2x | Audio cutting in and out | So this has been happening for quite awhile but its so sporadic and brief I haven t really worried about it. However it has been occurring with increased frequency the last couple months... This issue is that the speakers are randomly turning off completely (or just a portion of the speakers cut out) for a second or two and then they come back on. The problem has occurred listening to Bluetooth FM radio & streaming. The issue is sporadic and I am unable to re-produce. Anybody been experiencing this problem? I m wondering whether its software or hardware related and if I should bother bringing it to the attention of Tesla. I have very little interest in leaving my care with Tesla over such a small issue but if it is a known problem that they can address I definitely would like it fixed. | ibelieve2020 | 2019-12-13 00:30:25 | 55 | fam7e8y | I have been experiencing this. It s like you describe basically some speakers stop working and then quickly get back to normal.

9cacbf | Audio discrepancy in backseats | I ve been trying to tune my Model 3 s audio for awhile since delivery earlier in August. I found settings I was pretty happy with settings from an earlier post where ~~a guy~~ u creativityrules went in with a Real-Time Analyzer and pink noise. I adjusted a bit to reduce the bass since I get headaches easily but I m enjoying these settings: 0.0 -1.0 -0.5 2.0 -4.0 When I jumped in the backseat though it honestly sounded super bad. All the bass and the low mids completely vanished are the rear door speakers lacking bass entirely? Is my system defective? The difference was so shocking I wasn t sure if it was expected or not. I kept adjusting and hopping back and forth and I found with immersive sound off the difference is less stark. Has anyone had similar experiences? Edit: Link to EQ settings: https: reddit.com r teslamotors comments 8aa0nt _ dxg96wb ?context=1 Also I watched the “Why Is The Model 3 Sound System So Good?” video and my answer came quickly the rear speakers and the trunk speakers are all midrange speakers. Without door bass speakers like the front has it totally makes sense that there s such poopy sound in the back. Now I just have to check that my sub is working properly... | PhiDX | 2018-09-02 07:18:20 | 34 | e59ad5x | Can you link to the earlier post you mentioned? | Tesla_beluga | 2018-09-02 08:33:27 | 10 | Tesla Model 3 Audio Experience |

4wgijc | Aussie First World Problem : The indicator Position | Hi Has Tesla said thing about indicator position? All Tesla seem to have a the standard left indicator on the steering wheel. Like in the Australian market most cars are right hand driver and therefore the indicators is on the right. Some cars have normally been built as universal model for international market with Euro model that has right hand side and indicator being on the left side of the steering wheel. In the case of Fiesta 2010-2013. Indicators were on the left Until the next years model was released with a new update to the design of the right hand drive version. Because enough customers were complaining the indicator on the steering wheel where swapped to be on the right. Understandable large car manufactures point of view is > We ll if we make an universal model left and right hand drive. It means less parts and inventory if we standardise the steering wheel components. > *screw those markets whom don t use indicator on the left side. Its a behaviour thing and they will learn* Really? I have issues going between indicator on left and right side. Especially harder when your frequenting using different cars and your daily drive has the indicator on the opposite position. Aghh confusioning | bnetimeslovesreddit | 2016-08-06 16:21:45 | 11 | d66u0tn | In Hong Kong cars have steering wheels on the right. We have quite an even mixture of Japanese and European cars. Japanese cars have indicators on the right European cars have then on the left and BMWs have eliminated them to improve driving experience. My car has on the left not my preference but not a biggie either.

hij764 | Austria announced today that the EV subsidy will be raised to €5 000! The subsidy currently applies to the Model 3 (and will likely continue to do so) but I m unsure whether the Model Y will be covered (it currently is not). | Original Link (German): [https: www.wienerzeitung.at nachrichten wirtschaft oesterreich 2065971-E-Auto-Foerderung-in-Oesterreich-steigt-auf-5000-Euro.html](https: www.wienerzeitung.at nachrichten wirtschaft oesterreich 2065971-E-Auto-Foerderung-in-Oesterreich-steigt-auf-5000-Euro.html.) **Translation:** # E-car subsidy in Austria rises to 5 000 euros * Higher subsidies are also available for two-wheel vehicles and private charging stations. On Monday Environmental Minister Leonore Gewessler (Greens Party) announced a higher subsidy for electric cars at a press conference with representatives of car importers. Starting from 1st July and up to the end of the year people will now receive 5000 euros in subsidies for the purchase of a car with an electric drive. So far it was 3000 euros. We want to invest in the future as we emerge from the corona crisis. This is exactly what we are doing with the e-mobility offensive said Gewessler. Our goal with the e-mobility subsidy is to really shift the focus of new vehicle registrations towards e-mobility. When subsidising a new electric car 3000 euros come from the ministry and 2000 euros from the importers the minister said. In addition to cars two-wheeled vehicles and the expansion of private charging stations are to be more strongly supported. For example over the next six months electric bicycles will be eligible for 1200 euros instead of 1000 euros and electric mopeds will be eligible for 800 euros instead of 700 euros. The subsidies will apply to the purchase of a new e-vehicle. Used vehicles are not covered by this subsidy. Günther Kerle spokesman of the Austrian automobile importers explained that this is because the subsidy for electric cars has been in place since 2016 \[meaning that cars bought used would already have been subsidised previously\]. A prerequisite for the subsidy is the purchase of an electric vehicle with 100 percent electricity or hydrogen from renewable energy sources the ministry said. Previous tax incentives for e-vehicles such as the abolition of the NoVA (standard consumption tax) or the insurance tax will also remain in place. **600 Euro for charging stations** Alongside vehicles subsidies for the charging infrastructure will also be increased. In the future home charging stations will receive three times as much money as before i. e. 600 instead of 200 euros. In multi-party buildings an e-charging station will also be subsidised at 1800 instead of 600 euros. Applications for the subsidy can be submitted from 1st July. However the car itself can also be registered before the deadline according to the ministry s documents. The increased subsidy is valid until 31 December 2020 but it is possible to register an ordered car for the subsidy even if it is not delivered until the first half of 2021. The total amount of the e-mobility subsidy for the years 2019 2020 is around 93 million euros. Gewessler quantified how much of the two-year budget is still left. The Minister said that the continuation of the subsidy next year would be discussed again with representatives of the automotive industry in autumn. Car importer representative Kerle was satisfied with the measures. By increasing the e-mobility bonus we have succeeded in a joint action with which we want to send a positive signal towards the future and clean mobility. This solidarity shows that climate protection and the automotive industry are by no means contradictory said the industry representative. However he would like to see even more support during the crisis. The increase is not a corona support measure as we would like and urgently need it in times of the Covid 19 crisis Kerle continued. Passenger cars for example are explicitly excluded from declining balance depreciation in the Economic Stimulus Act currently under review. This borders on discrimination and is not acceptable to us. After all the Austrian automotive industry provides 315 000 jobs and a gross value added of 26 billion euros Kerle complained. **VCÖ demands reduction of bureaucratic hurdles** The mobility club ÖAMTC also commented in general terms on the measures presented today but also pointed out that measures were still necessary. For example charging rates should be comparable and transparent. Furthermore bureaucratic hurdles for the installation of a private charging station would have to be removed. As Gewessler said on Monday the Minister of Justice Alma Zadic (Greens) is already working at full speed on easing the situation. Meanwhile the Austrian Transport Club (VCÖ) sees the support for the charging infrastructure as positive but criticizes the support for plug-in hybrid cars. This is not justifiable from an environmental point of view said the VCÖ in a statement. In addition the club renewed its demand for the abolition of tax advantages for diesel and petrol vehicles. If however diesel fuel and the use of company cars with internal combustion engines for private purposes continue to receive tax benefits the effect of the purchase premiums for e-vehicles will be very weakened VCÖ expert Ulla Rasmussen said in the mailing. Moreover bureaucratic hurdles for the installation of a private charging station need to be dismantled ÖAMTC and the Federal Association for Electric Mobility (BEÖ) agree.

Having only €3 000 as a subsidy was a frickin joke especially with so many other EU countries having MUCH better subsidies. I hope this trend continues and that the government can be pressured into not only continuing but also increasing these subsidies in the future. From what I ve read and heard Austria seems to be described as a Diesel Country - I didn t know this till just a few weeks ago but that gives me some context for those low incentives.* | TheAce0 | 2020-06-30 08:20:21 | 126 | fwgl88p | Here in Hungary the EV subsidy is 7000 Euros if the price of the car less then 30.000 Euros.

6kdc2y | Auto Chain: A free project I made for Tesla Motors | Hello Reddit I am a huge fan of Tesla Motors and SpaceX and have joked since autonomous driving was introduced that some clever Engineers should incorporate computational fluid dynamics into the autopilot code. After doing the math I found that at a hypothetical 2 feet away a sedan such as a Model S would reduce it s air resistance (largest range killer) by 90%! This subsequently adds 40% to the range. I got together some fellow Engineers and Designers. We patched together the framework - and what the code will look like how it will function. It will essentially combine both the Semi Truck and the Tesla vehicles behind it (autopilot capable) to create ONE vehicle... that just happens to have a lot of brakes. The Tesla drivers will be able to access the Semi Truck s forward facing camera to ease anxiety of sight. The Semi Truck would simply need an effective cover over the rear wheels to prevent rock chips. This means that when the semi truck brakes the vehicles that have auto-chained to it brake immediately as well. Ultimately we hope this serves as some help to the Tesla Team and possibly could be looked in to incorporating as a feature for long road trips. All work completed thus far is offered FREE of charge to Tesla. This is not an attempt to sell license or anything else the code or work completed. Feel free to share this with anyone you know from Tesla or a fellow enthusiast! This week we hope to submit this to TechCrunch Wevolver Wired Popular Mechanics and any other sources we can think of to get the word out there. Thank you all for your time and for even reading this!

69zdln | Auto Headlights turning off at night - Anyone else? | Reaching out to the community as I can t seem to find anyone else that has experienced this - it s happened to me twice now. Was on 17.14.35 and about a week ago I noticed that my headlights were turned off as it was getting dark. Quickly pulled over and turned them on manually and confirmed that Auto wasn t working properly. Couple of reboots when I got home and the problem seemed to have gone away. Last night I was driving down the highway in Kansas - pitch black and suddenly the lights flipped off! I was on AP and luckily I was ready for it quickly hit controls -> ON so I avoided any issues but was startling nevertheless. Once again pulled over toggled between off on and Auto and the lights would only come on when switched to ON. I ve had the service center push 17.17.4 this morning - going to test heavily tonight but curious if *anyone* has seen anything like this on their drives that they can recall? I have an appointment for when I get back but wondering why how the camera is reading improperly even though the rest of the car seems to drive fine... so I assume the cameras are working properly. I m stumped. Going to capture a video the next instance if it isn t cleared up by 17.17.4. | nasell | 2017-05-08 17:01:50 | 12 | dhamgai | I ve seen the auto HI-BEAM detector erroneously detect driveway lights but I ve never had the auto-lights turn off on me after it gets dark.

I ve never had the lights turn off even in a brightly-lit area at night but maybe that s just anecdotal. | Paleran | 2017-05-08 18:36:26 | 6 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
yrxxs6 | Auto High Beam Fix 2022.40.4 | I was on highway today I decided to give auto high beams a try after months of not using them. I am on update 2022.40.4 and to my surprise they worked flawlessly considering how bad they were before but this time it was recegonizing cars from very far away even behind hill!! I am guessing it was a stealth update in the last few updates. Give it a try is it the same for you or it s just me? I saw some posts as well confirming that this update made their auto high beams good for highway. | SenseiThunder | 2022-11-11 01:43:31 | 177 | ivy0jnv | There is a lot of positive feedback at the german Tesla forums seems like 2022.40.4 is a massive improvement for Auto High Beam. Switching back to High Beam is a bit slower than before but no one is complaining any more. | c200sc | 2022-11-11 13:34:00 | 103 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

I ve tried on many different roads and highways | viper2ko | 2017-10-13 01:42:08 | 14 | doaluu5 | The car needs to sense the lane next to it.

sbh4mj | Auto Park needs a selection feature | I m a new owner of a Model S and am driving for the first time in years after moving to the US from a country where everyone drives on the correct side of the road. The vision-based Auto Park feature works well in a number of circumstances (I m yet to see it engage for parallel parking) however the decision logic is overly rigid in my experience. The onboard gear decides which parking spot will be offered without feedback as to which side said spot is on - additional feedback would be awesome. If I m wrong in my assessment I welcome correction. :-) | UltimateArsehole | 2022-01-24 08:12:22 | 42 | hu0wt72 | I exclusively parallel park at home and vision only has correctly identified a spot exactly once in the last 6 months.

ce0ndi | Auto Pilot Double braking when approaching stopped vehicles | Model 3 LR AWD FSD. Ver: 2019.20.4.4 I m noticing it regularly when approaching stopped vehicles Autopilot will brake and immediately release accelerate and than brake normally up to the vehicle or resume as traffic begins moving. You really can t tell from the clip but it is actually happening and you and your passenger definitely feel it. It begins after cresting the hill it s an instant brake release than begins to accelerate back up and than brakes normal reducing speed for the vehicle in front. The second brake event is ok it s that first one. It s like Woaaa stopped truck!!! oh wait its way up there go again. Is anyone else experiencing this. It s nowhere close to the braking event that happened on the highway awhile back and I m writing that off as a glitch because it has never happened there again. Wish I had hit record on that one. https: reddit.com link ce0ndi video ara1647repa31 player | GoTesla | 2019-07-16 18:04:51 | 16 | etxneaz | Keep in mind approaching a stopped vehicle while on AP is a major known weakness of AP and there have been several accidents of cars running into others in this situation. That said I ve seen this too. My best guess is the initial brake is when the radar first returns a hit of a solid object up ahead before radar+vision have concluded *what* that object is or the circumstances surrounding it. Once it is confident it s approaching a stopped vehicle it carries on more normally. | sabasaba19 | 2019-07-16 18:52:26 | 12 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
40mp6l | Auto Pilot Drivers: Icy Roads? | When I was driving this morning wishing I had AutoPilot as one does... I had to brake hard because a car in front of me slammed on their brakes. I was going downhill and although the road was visually clear it was clearly very icy. I started to slide toward the car in front and had to steer off to the side to prevent a collision. Question: Does AutoPilot adjust following distance based on available traction or road conditions? If you ve been in a similar situation how might your AutoPilot have reacted? Just curious. | ENrgStar | 2016-01-12 14:49:59 | 16 | cyveepw | Part of me thinks AP would handle it better than most humans. The computers can sense each of the tires slipping better than a human and can correct it accordingly. The computer probably won t panic and do anything stupid like a human would. So long as you have the speed set to a safe level and distance between cars I think it should be pretty safe. My only concern is how tesla programs the car to exit a slide. For example will the car turn into a slide to correct itself? | oouzy | 2016-01-12 15:54:21 | 8 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

y4agt8 | Auto high beams make Autopilot unusable at night | The recent mandatory high beams with autopilot is basically the biggest step backward I ve seen in my 6 years of owning teslas. The biggest issue is implementation and complete lack of predictability. It s not possible to know at night if engaging Autopilot will cause the high beams to activate. Just last night I tried to activate Autopilot and the high beams came on making the car 3 lengths ahead of me think I was telling them to speed up so they brake checked me. Here are the issues. 1. High beams turn on with every activation of autopilot. 2. There is no delay to give you the chance to turn them off. If the car thinks they should be on the millisecond AP engages they come on. 3. The algorithm for the auto high beams is pathetically poor. They come on with cars in front of you they come on with traffic coming the other way they come on while traveling on well lit urban streets. All of this combines to make it so much of a hassle and annoyance to use Autopilot at night that it s essentially not useable anymore. I get Tesla is covering their ass while they struggle to get the vision only AP system working but this is absolutely not the way to go about it. I would like to see at least one of the following. 1. A timer that gives you 3 seconds to turn the high beams off after engaging AP 2. If the high beams have been disabled once during the drive they won t turn back on till the car has done a Park Drive cycle 3. A complete opt out with a warning that AP function will be degraded. | BombFish | 2022-10-15 01:00:27 | 292 | isefcjm | The auto high beams make me cringe.

iv7hnb | Auto lock upon vehicle entry - safety feature | I wish there were a setting option that would cause the doors to lock as soon as the driver s door closed. Edit: Weight sensors would verify that the driver is in the car. For women it s something many of us are taught. The instant you get in the car lock all the doors. This prevents a stranger from opening the passenger door before you can drive away getting in and threatening you with a weapon forcing you to drive to a second location. This may seem paranoid but I ve actually had a stranger try to get into my car this way before. Luckily I had locked the doors quickly enough and he couldn t get in. It would simply require the driver if they had passengers to open the door let the passenger open theirs and then the driver could close their door and all the doors would be locked upon closing. | DuOroEldrvarya | 2020-09-18 14:50:09 | 52 | g5pgtex | I m a guy and I have also thought about this before.

bj6hkq | Auto pilot work well? Does it help with the stress of driving? | Hi everyone. Sorry for the long post... About 3 years ago I moved to Los Angeles from New York. I owned a car in NY but only used it for getting out of the city or big grocery store purchases. Now that I live in LA I have to drive about an hour to and from work everyday. It was fine at first but now it s stressing me out so much. I can t move closer to my job because the wife works in the opposite direction. We live in between both our jobs. I m playing with the idea of getting a Tesla to help me get to and from work. Do you find that autopilot helps reduce the stress? How on do you have to be when autopilot is engaged? Meaning can you just day dream away and not worry so much about being actively looking at all the mirrors? Does it help greatly with your commute? I know this driving related stress is something I need to work on and I am currently doing that. Thanks! EDIT: I can t answer every comment but I wanted to say WOW! It seems like at least 95% of you are so happy with the autopilot and that it can definitely reduce stress and fatigue. Amazing!!! Now I gotta convince the wife! We can afford it but still...

I know this is not as big of an issue as the windshield wipers dumping water on the seat but it is still something that annoys me when I am driving.

b38393 | Auto steer behavior on new Autopilot with turn signal | https: teslamotorsclub.com tmc threads ap-turn-signal-should-not-disengage-autosteer-per-tesla-service.146248 So as was stated the new base autopilot does not have auto lane change. However Tesla did change the behavior when the turn signal is on. On only autopilot (not EAP or FSD to my knowledge) the torque needed to turn auto steer off is greatly reduced if you have a turn signal on That s a helpful thing to have and answers the question of people who thought the turn signal itself turned auto steer off So for users with AP to change lanes one should use a signal gentle torque to disengage change lanes and then reengage Edit for clarity. Turn signal does NOT disable auto steer. In normal AP only (not EAP!) the turn signal greatly reduces torque to disable autosteer | Lunares | 2019-03-20 05:26:36 | 18 | eixwslg | I feel like the way you worded it can cause more confusion than clarity. The short of it is this: when you are on AP when you signal and change lanes it disables autosteer. Once you are done changing lanes you can tap to re-engaged auto steer. The whole time TACC is still enabled. | umamiking | 2019-03-20 06:40:05 | 5 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
b26wq1 | Auto steer is improving | I live in an area where there are some serious curves on the major highway. When I picked up my 3 last September it could handle the curves but the lane drift was really significant. Trying it now after the latest update it s remarkable how far we ve come. The car stays planted in the center through every curve. Super impressive given ~6 months of data crunching. | Fewshot | 2019-03-17 16:28:45 | 79 | eiqog3e | It certainly is. A few minor improvements quirks I d love them to iron out though... * After finishing a curve my car searches a bit within the lane to re-position itself while moving straight. * I wish it would move slightly off-center when passing large vehicles like semis to give some extra padding (as a human driver I do this naturally). * Similar to above I would prefer during curves on the highway for the car to determine if the other cars in the adjacent lanes are hugging the inner or outer portions of the lanes and adjust accordingly. I found most human drivers don t take curves exactly center and hug the inner outer portion of the lane which can make for some close calls. | Kev1000000 | 2019-03-17 16:47:55 | 53 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

If they like your resume they will call you and set up 1-2 interviews. There they will ask you about your work experience knowledge problem solving skills etc. From there you may need another interview or they may just hire. Being a veteran certainly helps but doesn t guarantee anything. I d also recommend going over and talking to someone at the service center (if possible). Putting a face to a name resume and having a Tesla employee name (especially a manager!) to put on your application as a referral will also help.

k55fte | Auto wipers behavior in Drive vs Reverse | Has anyone noticed a difference in how the auto wipers behave between Drive and Reverse? Although the wipers improved a bit many versions ago they are now crap again and have been for months. However at times when they don t seem to notice rain at all (or extremely late) even though it s raining heavily changing to reverse changes everything. They suddenly react as I expect them to.

egltpk | Auto-Regulating Charging Home Charging? | Wasn t quite sure how to title this. Parents are considering getting a Model 3 or Model S in Australia. They have solar panels that give about 6kW of power at their peak and are planning on getting one powerwall. My question is is there a way to set up charging of the car with the normal Tesla wall charger that will get the car to charge at maximum available power rate without getting power from the grid (ie. house uses 3kW so car gets remaining 3kW)? With perhaps the option of charging faster off the grid if absolutely needed. | alb92 | 2019-12-28 03:58:11 | 22 | fc7gupt | This doesn t exist off-the-shelf but can be built if you have a bit of know-how or are willing to tinker. Look at https: github.com ngardiner TWCManager. Basically you build a Raspberry Pi which hooks up to the control port of the TWC. You have to do a little coding to connect it to your solar system to get production consumption numbers but Powerwall is already supported in that fork. The point of the system is exactly what you described - tell the TWC how much power it s allowed to offer the car based on what solar is producing. I m planning to do this myself once we get solar installed (February!). | archbish99 | 2019-12-28 04:23:55 | 20 | Tesla Solar Panel Decision |
a84kf2 | Auto-Wiper learned not to toss water at Driver? | I ve gotten water tossed at me at least 5 times since I bought my TM3. Leaving Auto-Wipers ON then re-entering the vehicle later usually results in the wipers flinging water at me JUST AS I TRY TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. It was so perfectly timed I thought some sick California programmer must be having fun at my expense. ) But today was different. I updated to Firmware 2018.48.12.1. It rained all day today and as I summoned my car to me in the parking lot it was already busy wiping water off the windshield as I approached it reversing to meet me. Then as I got closer to the driver s side door and jump in before getting wet the wipers FROZE IN POSITION on the edge of drivers side. They did not finish the normal wiping cycle. The blades remained in a locked vertical position (pointing up) until I entered and sat down in the car. Then they continued wiping. Huh. Wipers seemed normal the rest of the trip. Wasn t sure this new behavior was intentional until the wipers did the same thing a second time. The car COULD have drenched me again but upon seeing someone really close to the door it stopped mid-cycle near the edge of the windshield with blades held up as if to say Dude it s cool! See? I m not gonna give you a bath! The car again waited until I got back in and only then continued doing it s job. A very welcome refinement to Auto-Wipers! Thanks Tesla! | Rowzby | 2018-12-21 00:38:00 | 63 | ec7y0nb | This was the problem on Model S X when auto wipers was first release.

4wta63 | Auto-park feature | How useful is this function? Do people use it? We tried to do the auto park function in a parking lot during a test drive but it was a little finicky and didn t always work... By the time it actually parked I could have parked myself sooner. Also can it autopark in slanted parking lots? (Cars parked at a slant configuration) | plasm0dium | 2016-08-08 23:51:39 | 19 | d69qcuy | It is virtually useless for perpendicular parking because it executes a two-pass (back in pull forward back in again) maneuver that takes 2-3x as long as a human often resulting in parking lot impatience or cars whipping past you that interrupt the parking sequence. However IMO such parking is easily done by a human. It is much more useful for parallel parking especially if you are not very good at it. It backs you in in one pass at roughly the speed of a moderately skilled human and then pulls forward to center in the spot. However in both cases one complication is that it requires you to travel substantially beyond the spot (1 spot forward or more) before offering to park. This can result in the car behind you blocking or taking your spot.... Which minimizes its usefulness in hectic city environments like San Francisco. EDIT: oh yeah officially the manual says slanted spots are not supported. I ve seen it work once but very poorly. It also doesn t work for parallel parking on a curved road. | chillaban | 2016-08-08 23:56:48 | 22 | Smart Summon Limitations |

l0gtrs | Auto-updating sheet with all Tesla configurator info world-wide | Hi r teslamotors I made an auto-updating sheet that lists all Tesla configurator info world-wide: https: docs.google.com spreadsheets d 1YrZ7w9kYwbnCJS-0jsDLVKTDX8Ciz4ZjIc6yyfTGpHA This shows all Tesla Model S 3 X Y specs + prices world-wide. By toggling orderable to show everything you can even see configurations that are not listed (yet) in the configurator. The data is gathered by daily scraping the Tesla configurator pages world-wide ([GitHub repo](https: github.com Niek tesla-configurator)).

b9w7k4 | Auto-wiper performance better in 2019.8.5? | I got the update yesterday evening and this morning there was misty rain on the way in to work. Previously the auto-wipers seem to do a pretty poor job in those conditions but this morning they worked pretty well. About on-par with the traditional auto-wipers on my old car. Anyone else seeing the same thing? | noiamholmstar | 2019-04-05 20:26:07 | 42 | ek7blwb | Did an half hour drive under the rain heavier at the beginning and lighter later on. The wipers are now rock-solid perfectly timed to keep the wind-shield clean without overdoing it. Very good improvement! | f205v | 2019-04-05 20:32:56 | 48 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
6dbpzs | Auto-wipers when driver s door is open | I don t have many complaints about my Model S but this is one: I typically leave the windshield wipers set to the lowest automatic setting (pre-AP model). If I m climbing into the car on a rainy day the wipers will come to life and sweep a mess of water that drips right into the cabin -- either soaking me as I climb in or soaking the door kickplate and carpet. Guess I just wish the Auto Wipers didn t activate until the car was turned on (by applying the brake). Or at least refrain from working while the driver s door is open. Anybody else experience this? | Hollyfeld_Lazlo | 2017-05-25 19:03:00 | 29 | di1dy2b | That s the sort of thing they should be able to fix in a software update. Ping Tesla and let them know it s an issue?

blq82b | AutoPark (2019.1.2) backed into center lane instead of parallel spot | Just pulled up to a bagel shop with my son. Easy parallel right in front but when I shifted to reverse it AutoPark popped up the blue Start button so I pressed it. The first thing it did was cut the wheel and back towards the MIDDLE lane... of a 3 lane road (actually three lanes on each side with a large grassy meridian in center) whoa! I jumped on the brake immediately and no big deal I parked it myself. Best explanation I can think of was the spot was big and it was cutting the wheel in opposite direction it should to parallel park to instead park head in? That seems like quite a flub. It did show the spot it was going for as a parallel park though with the blue “bracket” showing where it was parking. Being attentive meant we really were in no danger (sorry fake news) as I jumped on brake quickly. Stay attentive my friends. | ironinside | 2019-05-07 12:41:17 | 21 | emqgkw2 | The screen should have given you an indication of its intention.

75yppd | AutoPilot V2 tips after some playing around with it. | 1. Be careful passing semi trailers sometimes autopilot can wig out when passing the rear wheels 2. Be careful when the car in front of you lights up BLUE instead of grey this means the car is locked onto the car in front of you in follow mode and if that car switches lanes sometimes yours will try to follow it into the new lane if someone is next to you this is bad. 3. If you set the autopilot speed to only 20 mph over what you are traveling at it will be a lot smoother. I noticed if I set the autopilot to 45MPH in stop and go traffic it was a lot less jerky and stopped much closer to the other cars leaving less gaps while traveling. When set to 80MPH even while traveling 0-20mph it was more violently stopping going. Since autopilot sets itself to speed limit + your adjustment it will normally set itself to somthing like 80mph for me on the freeway even in stop and go traffic. Manually setting it to 40mph made a big difference in ride quality just thought I d pass on the info feel free to post your tips too.\ EDIT FOR CLARITY: Keep autopilot within 20MPH of your max average speed eg if your in stop and go traffic 0-20mph set it to 40mph (not 80mph as you would normally on a freeway) this will mean a less JERKY autopilot and less changes if speed increases. Its a little more work if speed increases above 40 but its a lot smoother try it out. | crehop2 | 2017-10-12 17:53:26 | 50 | doa0xde | Did you find the hidden FSD enable feature yet?

g94oyo | AutoPilot s visual Stop Control is already quite impressive and learning fast | As FSD owners get the new software and people are interested in the new feature I ve taken some pictures to document the current behavior of the initial public release so hopefully people can understand what it s thinking and be safe on city streets before it “controls more naturally.” Overall AutoPilot is doing quite a bit primarily with vision and uploading a lot of driving data from the fleet to help reach the final step of “feature complete.” [View examples of visual-only stopping](https: preview.redd.it z8maniwp4ev41.jpg?width=2125& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=3f91773e40e1bad85dc1db3c37384e52d6f601b4) The visual system detects both traffic controls and stop lines to decide when and where to stop the car. Traffic controls includes traffic lights stop signs and road markings and stop lines can be painted or inferred from an intersection. The examples above show AutoPilot stopping for unmapped features including “STOP” on the ground in a parking lot without signs a temporary stop sign in a construction area and road painting that controls a single direction of traffic e.g. roundabouts. [View map-based stopping messages](https: preview.redd.it jkzjwfmt4ev41.jpg?width=592& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=ff396bbe1a2e22a62e30d8f9cd5f49a5f0e8ef57) AutoPilot also makes use of traditional navigation maps with approximate data similar to OpenStreetMap with a point that can indicate an intersection has a traffic light stop sign and lines for roads that can indicate a 3-way T-junction where the minor road yields. This is useful for situations where an intersection is hidden from view perhaps behind a curve so AutoPilot starts showing these indicators 600 feet in advance to avoid stopping suddenly when the visual system finally sees the intersection. [View various intersection types and distances](https: preview.redd.it xwgrx9px4ev41.jpg?width=1185& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=8ba1ec8341204fbb29b4672d6978e5ba1fa5a28f) As AutoPilot approaches an intersection it ll display the distance to the type of intersection. For traffic lights it includes the color of the signal it believes is relevant for your lane. In the screenshots above all the messages show that the car is stopping and for green lights the driver can confirm to keep going through and the message goes away. The car is also smart in deciding when to continue through a yellow light or stopping at a red light even after confirming to continue. [View examples of AutoPilot getting confused](https: preview.redd.it v97ebbg25ev41.jpg?width=1890& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=20774dddbf90e77072aef8d93063607c96c03596) This early iteration of Stop Control can get confused easily so be careful. The top left example indicates AutoPilot doesn t know how to continue perhaps it doesn t understand the lines across the street or believes it would go into oncoming traffic. The bottom left example shows the visualization highlighting traffic signals and clearly it was confused as it thought the green left turn and a red straight signals were for me so be extra careful as AutoPilot might have continued straight thinking it had a green light. The right example shows AutoPilot detecting what it believes are inactive traffic lights and decides to slow down and these types of false positives for both traffic controls and stop lines can result in sudden deceleration so if you slightly press on the accelerator ahead of time you can minimize the jerking. [View Birds-Eye View showing dividers and traffic flow direction](https: preview.redd.it pe9jic285ev41.jpg?width=1968& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=89fa11793eb6d57bf56d056aeb6dc8ba8c46b138) Fortunately the [AutoPilot rewrite](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments f1dlqh autopilot_rewrite_with_3d_labeling_is_only ) should help especially in the first case where the new “birds-eye view network” fuses multiple cameras and outputs a unified understanding of objects lines and edges. (This was presented at ScaledML “Andrej Karpathy - AI for Full-Self Driving.”) It also understands logical dividers like double yellow lines and physical curbs that separate traffic flow directions so “going straight” should drive through intersections towards lanes that are of the expected direction fixing the “confused heading into oncoming traffic” problem. As Tesla collects driving data with the new feature training data can be generated to fix the other issues based on the driver confirming or not confirming to continue. For the confused traffic lights by not continuing it should learn that the green light wasn t for me while the 3 red lights were. Similarly for false positives that the driver continued through without stopping it should learn when to ignore confusing traffic controls. With a fleet of nearly 1 million cars Tesla should be able to find all sorts of strange corner cases and collect enough samples to make the feature natural instead of conservative. And with a strong understanding of intersections the next feature of navigating through intersections (instead of only going straight) shouldn t be too far off. | harikaried | 2020-04-27 17:03:53 | 328 | for9tsm | Something that seriously impressed me when I was using Stop Control for the first time this morning was that it will detect when the color of a stoplight changes *after* you ve overridden the stopping procedure. I was approaching a green light and the car said Slowing for stoplight in 600 ft so I hit the gear stalk to override. But then the light turned yellow right after that. The car detected that and *restarted the stopping procedure*. It then came to a smooth stop at the intersection with the newly red light. | coredumperror | 2020-04-27 17:30:14 | 124 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

2m3ri6 | Autohome reviews Model S P85: Very good performance and suspension poor interior and seats (chinese) | *Disclaimer: I tried to translate some points with Googles help* Owner of the first Chinese Model S took keys from Elon Musks hand. **comments** P85 looks like a bastard of Mazda and Jaguar. Neither thinks it be an environmental advantage using the coal-generated electricity (just transferring emissions out of cities) nor does he think the batteries will cause contamination problems. **positives:** Very fair price compared to overseas. Cheap to use and maintain but can t talk about battery lifetime yet. Performance in many areas far ahead of Audi S8 and Mercedes-Benz S63 S65 Silky smooth ride no gear shifts low vibration. Good suspension performance but feels heavy in the corners. **negatives:** Still no navigation after six months while still being advertised on the home page. Paint very brittle stone chips leaves white marks Interior not fit for a million yen car at best at the level of a Accord. Poor seats (rear at nightmare level ) and passenger storage space no central armrest. No optional child seats available. **worthwhile to buy?** Don t buy it if you can t install a home charger. If it s not your first car and get a free city license (?) then hurry to buy one. Buy it as your daily urban driver or if you like big toys. Don t choose a P85 if you want a million yen luxury car feels half-finished.

m2ceen | Automagically make room when detect adjacent parked vehicles trying to leave | Just a quick showerthought so I haven t considered the plethora of caveats. Let s say your car is parallel parked when it detects the car in front or behind is trying to leave the parking slot it will move a small distance forward backward to make that driver s life easier. Or in a tight perpendicular parking spot the car will move back a bit to let the other drivers open their door. I think this will work nicely with the new external speakers. The car will announce its intention ask the other driver to wait a few seconds then proceed. I understand this function might need a lot of effort for little gain but when you consider the amount of money tesla insurance companies you don t have to spend repairing dinged bumpers and side doors it might be worth it. | Taodim | 2021-03-10 23:40:00 | 66 | gqicchx | I appreciate innovative thinking like this — as you kinda allude to developing this would probably be net negative ROI for Tesla but it s a fun idea! | TheBurtReynold | 2021-03-10 23:44:32 | 44 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
d3s98j | Automatic Emergency Braking very nearly caused an accident | On Wednesday I was driving up a San Francisco hill in rush hour. Since it was rush hour we weren t moving very fast (maybe 15mph when the light was green) and traffic was densely packed in so there was only maybe 10 feet front and back from me to the other cars. Suddenly out of nowhere the car completely slams on the brakes. 15mph-0mph instantly full wheel lock. The cars in front of me continue up the hill. My seat belt catches. ⚠️ Engaging automatic emergency braking or something like that pops up on the screen. I don t know how but somehow the person behind me was able to stop in time mere inches off my bumper. I can t move. I pressed the accelerator pedal - nothing. I checked my drive selector - yep I m in Drive. I tried tapping the brake to release the hold - nothing. Finally the car started rolling again and I was able to continue up the hill very thankful no one slammed into me. The whole thing only took maybe 10 seconds but it was terrifying. I have absolutely no idea what the car saw to consider triggering emergency braking. Everybody was flowing in unison - slowly and there was definitely nothing darting out in front and no one else slamming on the brakes. I have definitely noticed weirdness in recent builds with the forward collision warning firing a lot more frequently when going up hills - but that s only annoying. Actually slamming on the brakes in dense traffic is an entirely different beast. I m not sure what they ve changed but they really seem to have regressed traffic detection on hills lately and need to revert the change causing it. | spasewalkr | 2019-09-13 17:03:34 | 96 | f04s49d | Please call Tesla roadside assistance and tell us what you learn. | SucreTease | 2019-09-13 17:06:11 | 79 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
jcv0u2 | Automatic Sync Dual Zone Climate Control | I m not sure why this isn t already an option but the car could go Dual Zone when there is someone in the passenger seat and Sync mode when only the driver is in the car.

There s no button to switch between hot or cold air. 72°? Is that going to be hot air or cold air? Who knows. It s different everyday. My last car had two dials one for fan speed and one for temperature which was cold-to-hot with a line in the middle so you can tell just by looking at it if it s cooling or heating.

67gxd6 | Automatic doors and the Tesla Network | We know that once full self-driving is available Tesla will let you make your Model S or X available as an autonomous taxi-like entity on the Tesla Network. It seems like a safe assumption that the Model 3 will as well. It also seems like a safe assumption that the Model 3 will have good old-fashioned manual doors not the fancy self-closing ones like the Model X for cost reasons. It hit me the other day: how will the Tesla Network handle people who don t close the door or who close it but don t push hard enough for it to latch properly? Will they actually include self-closing hardware? Will the car use its good acceleration to slam the doors closed? Will it drive around with a partially latched door until it can find a human to close it all the way?

ferwhp | Automatic lane changes are illegal in Idaho | Idaho law states that your turn signal must be on for a full five seconds before changing lanes. I do not own a Tesla but I ve noticed while watching videos that after switching the turn signal on the car will change lanes well before five seconds if the other lane is empty. It s a stupid law and an excessive amount of time but myself and many people I know have been pulled over for changing lanes “only” three seconds after activating the turn signal. The cops especially use this at night as a legal excuse to catch drunk drivers. If you aren t drunk or breaking any other laws they ll usually let you off with a warning but it s still an inconvenience. Is the amount of time before a lane change able to be edited in settings?

f3eghg | Automatic lights | 2016 model s p85d My morning commute is appx 9 miles. I drive at a time of day where ambient light is in that gray area where in direct light my lights are off but in the shadows my lights kick on. In 9 miles 20 minutes ish my lights will cycle 10 or 15 times. This seems unnecessary. Solutions: instant auto on but put a delay on the auto off where the sensors continue to sample. Solution 2: If the car is in drive the lights are on. If the car is not in drive the lights are off (on a slight delay). Always on does not function this way and reverts to auto on its own. | DAM5150 | 2020-02-13 18:34:39 | 19 | fhja0gj | It s common for most cars to do this.

9bn2o3 | Automatic speed reduction on adaptive cruise | So the law states that you must be going the speed limit at the time of passing the speed limit sign. Tesla knows where the speed limit transitions are. Can we get a smooth curve to start slowing down before the speed limit change so that there isn t a jerky change as you scroll the scrollwheel down to slow down. I am thinking it would automatically slow down for you as the speed limit decreases but not automatically as the speed limit increases (safety). And the speed that it slows down to is the speed limit plus your offset. & #x200B As for the curve I am thinking that it should be an s curve defined by jerk=-3ft s\^3 for the first half and jerk=3ft s\^3 for the second half. This should provide a generally smooth and comfortable deceleration rate. & #x200B Thoughts? | IwantaModel3 | 2018-08-30 20:09:06 | 25 | e547uai | I m sure once the vehicle reads street signs it will be able to just better | ferrarienz00 | 2018-08-30 20:11:48 | 7 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
erzccb | Automatically Turn Sentry Mode Back On When Plugged In While Under 20% | As you all know when the car is under 20% a lot of features are disabled including Sentry Mode. The problem is that Sentry Mode doesn t turn back on automatically after plugging in. You either have to get back in the car to do it or open your app. This is a hassle that seems unnecessary. Once the car is plugged in all disabled features should come back on automatically. Hoping this gains some momentum and can get implemented. | jarettp | 2020-01-21 19:08:39 | 227 | ff6uw52 | I had this exact same thought. But in a recent version they actually changed this so you can manually enable Sentry Mode if you are plugged in under 20%. Previously it would just tell you again that you can t under 20%. But now once plugged in you can enable it from the app regardless of percentage so you just do it immediately after plugging in while you re still there.

I wanted to enable Sentry mode at nights but disable during day time as there are lots of people passing by my car and I didn t want Sentry mode to record so many incidents. Script could be installed on any linux machine (I use Raspberry pi) and there are systemd config files to enable timers. You can also do some other things like listing vehicles under account getting vehicle and drive state and waking up the car. I might add more features later like turning on climate or starting stopping charging by schedule. [https: github.com ph0enix49 tesla-api](https: github.com ph0enix49 tesla-api) P.S.

dztjjk | Automobile mags ignoring Tesla | I read a lot of Automotive magazines and related web portals. It seems they ignore Tesla like they don t exist. The only time they post about Tesla is when there s actual announcements. Model 3 S X completely ignored by mags when it comes to handing out awards or annual list of best cars in each segment. Take Car & Driver Mag they re currently running a 10 Best cars for 2020 and no mention of any Tesla. For the entry price of $35k the Model 3 should win accolades here but there aren t any automotive mags giving them any awards in the US while in Europe Tesla has won a few accolades. It probably confirms to me that the automobile mags are driven by advertisement revenue and Tesla doesn t spend any money advertising their cars. While every car company spends millions each year on advertisement. | vision33r | 2019-11-22 01:21:18 | 59 | f8a2ps8 | Unfortunately there is a business reality that magazines must work with. They have staffs and bills to pay too. Have you noticed recent trends where certain websites require adblockers to be turned off. Websites even with basic staffs also need some revenue source. 🕊️ | exohypernaut | 2019-11-22 01:29:08 | 44 | Tesla Dominance in EV Batteries |
58hjih | Autonomous Car Regulations | What really blows me away about the recent announcement is how quickly Tesla is coming to market with this. I can t speak for the USA but Canada is totally unprepared for this. I participate in the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA.ca) (the Canadian Regulators) and they aren t even close to prepared. The last annual meeting they had a presenter from the RAND Corporation come to discuss how we should plan for Autonomous vehicles. She suggested we might be seeing Level 2 autonomy by 2025. In the Q& A section I asked her about existing Tesla s with AutoPilot and Summon. She told me she hadn t heard of Tesla and that it s likely not actually automation. Everyone there was definitely not considering having to think about Automated Vehicle regulations in the next 5 years. | TheKrs1 | 2016-10-20 15:44:08 | 26 | d90hf4j | Level 2 autonomy by 2025 ...do they not know L2 has existed for years now? 😂 | scottg96 | 2016-10-20 16:27:54 | 19 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
59fexf | Autonomous cars and the future of architecture and urban planning. | As an architect I m stoked about the change self-driving cars will have on our industry. Elon believes owning a car will become a rarity. If so this will likely lessen the need for parking lots in commercial areas the need for homes to have a garage driveway streets to have curb parking etc. just imagine all that valuable real estate that parking lots take up. I want to speculate: How do you think the decline of car ownership will change urban residential architecture and urban planning? | blondebuilder | 2016-10-26 03:22:53 | 16 | d982mde | City parking lots are so ugly.

5by913 | Autonomy and Insurance | I just got a letter in the mail today from Liberty Mutual clarifying that I would not be covered for any ride sharing use of my vehicle and it got me thinking about the upcoming autonomous Tesla Network. When a Tesla is operating autonomously without a driver or say *anybody even in the car* whose insurance would handle an accident? I m more than willing to accept responsibility for my driving but if my autonomous vehicle makes an error and causes an accident or is involved in any accident in a no-fault state will Tesla be insuring that? I doesn t seem fair to penalize the owner if nobody was operating the vehicle but Tesla s computers. Hopefully there will be some kind of coverage by Tesla during driverless operation similar to how Uber and Lyft have coverage when you have a fare. | TheKobayashiMoron | 2016-11-09 04:01:41 | 11 | d9spxt2 | It s likely that when Tesla starts the Tesla Network they will include insurance for the vehicles when driven for the network because most consumer insurances don t cover this type of car sharing services. | BoredPudding | 2016-11-09 12:14:39 | 7 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
e95oom | Autopark 40.2.1 | Is Autopark working for anyone on 40.2.1? The Autopark in my 2018 Model 3 LR AWD FSD has not been working very well for sometime. The other day it finally came on but only after I was halfway into a parallel parking spot. I pressed start and let it finish hoping maybe it would trigger it to start working again. This occurred under 36.2.1. Earlier this week I received 36.2.4 and tried it at the shopping center I passed multiple spots and it never came on. I even backed up and went passed one twice to see if it would trigger no luck. 40.2.1 came down yesterday afternoon and I haven t had a chance to try it out. Just curious if anyone has seen Autopark return? All the attention appears to be on lane changing improvements autowipers and signage recognition haven t seen any comments on Autopark though. | GoTesla | 2019-12-11 11:01:05 | 33 | fagof0v | I get more offers for Autopark while crawling in a traffic jam than I get in an actual parking lot. I got it to work once in 2019.36.2.x about 3 weeks ago. When it did it worked very well and it impressed the kids :-) | JR2502 | 2019-12-11 11:59:02 | 40 | Smart Summon Limitations |
a95shz | Autopark detection not working | Anyone else noticed that the autopark detection is much worse now with recent updates? Both on parallel and perpendicular detection? Now it doesn t detect a liberal parallel parking space until I am in the middle of backing into the space then it offers to take over. When I let it it almost sideswipes the lead car and I had to intervene to stop it and go manual. It used to detect and autopark much much better than this before. Any thoughts? | RicksTeslamodelS | 2018-12-24 15:20:54 | 19 | ecgprwj | Almost never works. 2nd only to the barely functioning auto-wipers 🤮 | Captjeffb | 2018-12-24 16:40:24 | 6 | Smart Summon Limitations |
ltvd3n | Autopark feels brand new with the side camera view | It s been a while (think months) since I last tried using autopark for parallel parking but I remember it being a very anxiety inducing experience. However I recently tried it again with the new side repeater camera view and it is *far* less stressful. I m not sure if that was the use case Tesla had in mind when they added those side camera views a couple months back but it lets you see exactly how far away from the curb you are and overall makes you feel far more in control of the experience. | MoistFold | 2021-02-27 19:26:13 | 64 | gp28pha | Can you elaborate on the experience? I kinda placed an order thinking this would be a basic knock it out of the park feature... But everything i read on this sub makes me think it... Sucks? | Terrible_Tutor | 2021-02-27 19:30:25 | 31 | Smart Summon Limitations |
sxjk7n | Autopark is not only bad—it s stressful | Consider this a venting post. Last year I picked up a 2020 MYLR with about 2k miles and even with the honeymoon phase behind me it still puts a smile on my face. It had quirks and minor issues from the start panel gaps unrefined suspension and shitty rim covers that literally creaked as the car moved. But after a few thousand miles some of these minor issues have become regular annoyances. Most notably: Autopark. Especially backing into a spot. I want *so badly* to love Autopark. I will literally go out of my way to use it often to the far reaches of a parking lot just waiting for that light grey P to pop up. And it does reliably! And I get so excited to flip it into reverse and watch the car take over. But the moment I hit the Start button my anxiety spikes. The first maneuver the car makes is indistinguishable from what I would do myself: Backs up hard turn starts getting into the lines. But the 2nd maneuver is absolutely atrocious. Even in a wide open parking lot with freshly painted lines the car lingers for multiple seconds in place after flipping to Drive to start straightening out. So you ve got half of the car obstructing traffic while it painfully slowly adjusts to align straight. Waiting for it to complete it s way to the final maneuver is astonishingly slow. The meandering pace makes you look like a complete jackass to the 2...3... now 4 cars you ve delayed while waiting for the software to do something you do in 1 4 of the time. It s bad enough that it makes me want to just cancel my subscription to FSD. Elon if you re listening: * Autopark is way way too slow when backing into a space in my experience it doesn t matter how fresh the lines are or even how wide open the space around you remains * Trying to abort autopark to make up for it s slowness as it pisses off other drivers is flat out dangerous. Instead of just allowing me to take over the car *stops and parks* leaving several seconds of me being unable to move get out of the way etc... I have to sit there and wait for the shift to become available and just look like a dick to everyone around me * The method for activating autopark is just bad UX plain and simple. I shouldn t have to drive around slowly staring away from the busy parking lot and waiting for the P to show up. I want to be able to signal my intent to use it *before* it s available so I don t have to put the safety of others at risk trying to find juuuuust the right spot pls | rodneyjesus | 2022-02-21 03:36:02 | 548 | hxsqftk | These features really *feel* Beta to the point that they re almost unusable. I m not going to risk thousands of dollars of damage that I am 100% liable for on a feature like this when it has shown itself to be inconsistent at best. It needs to work well 99.99% of the time. Even 99% of the time is not enough. I fully realize they are aiming far into the future and have prioritized full self driving as their foundation to solve these issues but I can t help but feel lied to about features like this not working consistently. I think Tesla has a big issue with underdelivering to the consumer over the past 3 or so years (putting aside the shareholder) that needs to be addressed before either there s a proper competitor or their reputation is tarnished. | Issaction | 2022-02-21 05:13:05 | 261 | Smart Summon Limitations |
f8ddkh | Autopark just damaged my rim and took a chunk out of my tire... | This is only the third time I ve ever even seen the autopark start button pop up for me when pulling up to a parallel parking attempt and I ve never had a problem before... so I thought Sweet. I ll relax and let the car do its thing. Several seconds later I was cringing at how close it seemed the car was getting to the curb but hey... it s got sensors right? The car is smarter than me. Nope. Nasty crunch as the car turned the front right rim and tire into the curb to perform one final correction. 22 Model X Turbine Rim is damaged and I have a good sized chunk out of the sidewall as well... on a brand new tire. I m doing my best to not react like an entitled 16 year old but... holy crap this is an expensive mistake. This stuff isn t cheap to replace. I made a bug report took pictures and called the service center... but I wanted to reach out and see if anyone has any experience with how they may handle this? Does anyone have any advice for me? | FightSmartTrav | 2020-02-23 18:22:29 | 1,915 | fikllm4 | Unfortunately you re pretty much out of luck. All these features are advertised as beta. So there s no repercussions on Tesla when an accident occurs. This is exactly why I don t use Autopark or Summon. There are many horror stories on this subreddit regarding exactly the same thing. It sucks because you want to put your faith in the tech but it comes out as an expensive mistake. I have a few scratches from when I used Summon as a new owner. | MrKnoble | 2020-02-23 18:30:54 | 1,126 | Tire and Wheel Maintenance |
8z4irf | Autopark on my Model 3 for parallel parking almost *always* fails and hits a rim with about an 80% fail rate. Am I the only one? | I ve since installed rim pro-tec and have stopped using the feature altogether.

fgh36k | Autopark with Model 3 LR RWD EAP | I have a Model 3 LR RWD with EAP. I used to see autopark pop up occasionally and I ve used it a couple times with good results. But I haven t seen the option pop up for quite some time now. Anyone have any idea why? I don t remember seeing anything about the feature getting pulled and even if it s part of FSD now my understanding is that since I had it before with EAP then I should be able to keep it without paying for FSD. Thoughts? Am I missing something? Thanks. | aaanold | 2020-03-10 17:04:00 | 25 | fk4jh87 | It still exists and that you ve had it work frequently honestly I think is the fluke here. It is incredibly temperamental about working. You have to be just the right distance between two objects just the right distance apart while traveling at certain speeds under certain lunar cycles when the Earth is tilted at just the perfect amount of degrees away from the sun for it to pop up. And even then sometimes it will just want to park on the curb or between cars in traffic on the highway or perpendicular in a parallel space or start parking and then suddenly decide it wants to cut the wheel way too hard and hit the car next to you. | demonlag | 2020-03-10 17:34:30 | 27 | Smart Summon Limitations |
9bgb40 | Autopilot full self-drive and road hazards. | I ve had my Model 3 for a month and I love it. I ve got about 3000 miles on it with many of those autopilot miles. Today I had a 500 mile round trip and ran into a few issues that bring up more questions. First flying along at 80mph with autopilot engaged and a truck a ways up the road had a blow-out. A massive piece of tire and more scrap ended up in the middle of the lane I was in. I took over control and slowed swerved into the shoulder but I did wonder - how will Tesla account for road debris like this in full self-drive? Between debris on the road potholes and animals I feel like there is a lot of uncertainty that will have to be accounted for and I hope they can do it but it concerns me. On the way home I was changing lanes without autopilot turned on and I started hearing a strange noise almost like there was something on the tire. I pulled off at the next exit and inspected my wheels looked at my tire pressure and all seemed well. Got back on the road and 5-10 miles later I get a bunch of warnings about tire pressure and to pull over immediately. Those warnings were excellent I was able to pull to the shoulder get out and watch the tire deflate. I figured out later that there was a 4 bolt that went through the tire and sidewall. https: i.redd.it lt01uzxti5j11.png Tesla roadside assistance was extremely pleasant but they were a bit limited. The first thing both agents I spoke to said to me was hmm there doesn t seem to be any service centers around you . I m going through central Nebraska so nope. They checked the nearest town for other tire shops saying they preferred Costco Discount Tire or high end dealerships like Mercedes and Audi. Nope none of those in this town. They gave me the numbers of a couple tire shops in town to call. The shops I called were closing and didn t have the size tire needed. Walmart did. I m not a fan of Walmart and I m even less of a fan of their auto services but with few other options thats where we towed the car to. They were closed by the time I got there so I m spending the night in a nearby hotel. I don t really a complaint - but it really makes me think about these road hazards and what can be done about them. The Tesla agent was kind of stumped she said this type of situation doesn t happen often - but it s only going to become more frequent for Tesla and I am sure it happens for other automakers especially as spare tires become less common. Some sort of Tesla roadside spare tire service would be nice. Give me a temporary and send me to the service center or mobile service to return it when I m done. Overall I m happy with how everything has been handled so far but I think this situation would be unacceptable for some folks out there. Do you think Tesla needs to improve roadside options in more rural areas? How do you think Tesla will handle road hazards in full self-drive? How do other autonomous vehicles do it? | reflexiveblue | 2018-08-30 03:54:36 | 28 | e52w0k6 | These issues are not exclusive to Tesla everyone (pursuing full autonomy) will have to deal with them. The easy answer for now and the near future is that the cars won t even know what hit them. Their systems are not designed to detect such objects and no one wants to spend time and money on solving an edge case when the main case (autonomy) hasn t been solved. Eventually the car will be able to detect potholes and large(r) road debris but it may never be perfect . Potholes are quite easy to detect (certain shape color that doesn t match the rest of the road depth detection detection based on the behavior of the vehicles in front etc) and there are papers and hobbyists out there doing it already. Potholes full of water snow or whatever are a different beast and other than highly sophisticated vision (cameras) or alerts from cars that already encountered them I am not sure there is a better solution. Road debris can be quite challenging and may be very difficult to solve (especially if it s something that s coming from the vehicle directly in front) but I am sure some solutions will be implemented. If in the meantime vehicles manage to talk to each other they will be able to alert everyone around them and avoid a lot of these dangers. And if they don t they have a human that can take over and decide if it s safe to keep going or a tow truck is needed. | izybit | 2018-08-30 04:42:22 | 16 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
4w6xcb | Autopilot what is the reddit consensus | I ve got about 3 weeks to go before my 90D (in Silver Metallic!) gets delivered... and all anyone can talk about when I dare to mention my new car is the freakin autopilot crashes. Some are concerned and they re sending me articles. Some friends thinks it s very funny to say something ala you re next to die. So funny! I plan on using it and I want it to work. Current owners how do you feel? Is the technology as great as the honorable Elon says it is? Do you feel comfortable and even safer when you use it? If people are using it a lot I ll feel more like the crashes are in fact flukes or user error. Thanks so much! | DarrenDC | 2016-08-04 21:31:02 | 11 | d64ic2f | It comes down to you. The tech works. Respect it. Pay attention. You are still in control of the vehicle. It s just there to assist you and reduce your stress while you drive - not take over and let you drift off. None of the crashes have to date been found to be malfunctions so your friends relatives are misframing the events thanks for crappy reporting. Use those opportunities to correct them. I use it every day for most of my commute. It makes my life substantially better. | dirtyfries | 2016-08-04 21:35:53 | 40 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
3ouue6 | Autopilot & 7.0 First Impressions | Hey all! Just got 7.0 on my 85D this morning. Thought I d give you my first impressions while they are fresh! 1) New UI: I was really concerned about the new dashboard and losing that beautiful center speedometer but honestly the new UI looks really nice and I got used to it rather quickly. Also nice to have the flatter UI on the center console (although I still think they could have done a better job on the main icons). Overall though its great and everything feels fresh again! Seeing the position of cars around you is pretty cool Im not yet sure though if its going to feel annoying to have that front and center all the time or not. Time will tell. 2) Autopilot. To enable autopilot you pull the cruise stick in twice. One thing I had to figure out is you sort of want to go to cruise first because you have to set the max speed just like you had to do with TACC. Autopilot does not automatically set the max speed for you. When you double pull the cruise stick you get one of two tones which alert you as to whether autopilot engaged or not. When it engages you feel it immediately. The wheel felt stiffer and the little steering wheel indicator in the dashboard turned blue. It was definitely a profound feeling like the car woke up from a long slumber for the first time. I tested the autopilot on a 3 lane road on the way to work. There was a LOT of traffic basically bumper to bumper and I went several miles without touching a thing until my turn came up. Elon mentioned that it works best in traffic and I agree. I also used it on more open roads but I have to say it was a bit scarier testing it out at speed. Also it did try at least once or twice to veer into the wrong lane when it had no other car to follow so you DEFINITELY need to stay alert! If you grab the wheel autopilot disengages with a chime. 3) TACC feels noticeably improved I felt the stops were smoother in the traffic. Also there is no more hold resume when you come to a stop in autopilot. I was stopped for over a minute and when the traffic started again the car proceeded without me having to tap the gas. 4) Lane changing yep worked as advertised. I hit the turn signal and the car smoothly switched lanes. 5) Other observations. At one point the car in front of me changed lanes but left the corner of their bumper in my lane. It appears the autopilot did not pick it up and was ready to clip its corner. It did do a red alert and emergency braking may have stopped it but I hit the brakes before finding out. Again another edge case you have to watch out for and a reason to stay alert. Also when driving in the right lane on autopilot I felt that the car was a little too far left. I would have preferred to be more in the middle of the lane but it felt like it was hugging left a bit at times. I know there is a feature where if you are next to a truck it will pull away a bit to make you more comfortable so maybe that was activating for some reason but there was nothing to the right of me but a sidewalk and some trees now and then. All in all I m super psyched and can t wait to test things out more. I think Tesla has come a really long way towards making autonomous driving a reality and while its not anything door to door if I don t have to actively drive in bumper to bumper traffic or long highway drives anymore then that s a HUGE step forward! The feeling of using autopilot was reminiscent of using the first iPhone but even more magical. This is definitely a game changer. | teslafolife | 2015-10-15 13:45:36 | 193 | cw0m7yt | Thanks for the writeup my 85 is updating right now. Looking forward to my commute for the first time in years lol :) **Last Update** Drove home at night in traffic worked great! Almost like it could see easier without the sun glare having more cars to follow. For the display all gray in front of car = no idea about road. Black line on left or right = maybe has idea. Blue line = Very good idea. Lines can be on either or both sides. Drive home was two blue lines and it was flawless. Stay out of far right line or it does like to exit the freeway :) With a car in front of me it stayed on but once tracking by itself it would leave if the chance came up. VERY impressed! #1 rule if you wouldn t use a normal cruise control at a particular time don t use the autopilot then either (coming up on intersections stop lights crazy merging areas 70mph coming up on a super tight corner etc). It is the FUTURE right now :) **Update 3** At next stop :) Highway exits appear to be a problem as it really likes to take them. I ve noticed on the screen the black lines drawn for the road are sometimes blue perhaps that is its main track ? If on a left turning section of freeway an off-ramp comes up on your right (from the right lane) mine more often then not will exit. Usually when the blue line was on my right. Will watch this more. Also note it seems to hold whatever speed you set cruise too when it does this. So it exits the highway at sustained highway speeds depending on the ramp that could get exciting reaaaaally fast. Autopilot stays enabled when throttle pedal is used so you can accelerate (briskly I dare say ) ) and it will continue to steer while you go around slower traffic then when you get back to your lane resumes the speed you were holding. **Update 2** Lots of driving between locations today :) It holds a corner rather well! It merrily held freeway speeds through a series of curves on the on ramp. I expected it to grandma it s way through there but it just zipped on over. I concur with the other guy that it centers up a bit to the right so it feels like it is crowding the lane next to me. I find myself physically leaning to the left trying to will it back over the other way :) I wonder if Bots Dots are harder for it to track? It draws the road it sees on the virtual car along with sonar radar contacts so you have an idea what it is up too. It does great in heavier traffic. Will see how the commute home goes lots of stop and go between Seattle - Tacoma to test with. **Update** Wow it actually works just like you said :) DEFINITELY keep your hand near the wheel though as it peeled off onto an off-ramp so fast I didn t catch it in time and found myself wandering side streets trying to find the freeway again (oddly I had a destination in the nav so it knew where I wanted to go?). This was on a more rural highway as opposed to I5. Also when changing lanes one time was over a pavement change (patch work on I5) and it went from a gently turn to a dive over. I caught that one :) Beta for sure but incredibly cool! As for accelleration feels the same off the line but quicker around 40mph on up? Sounds different too. I don t floor it much so that may be all in my head though. New interface also nice very happy with V7 :) | jwsimmons | 2015-10-15 13:58:24 | 35 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
d8ewjx | Autopilot & FSD Return On Investment | I currently have a Model 3 Standard + and am looking for a little input on Autopilot and FSD upgrades. I currently do not have either autopilot or FSD. When i purchased my car in March autopilot was not included mandatory. Since i bought the car FSD has already gone up $1 000 in price. I currently plan on holding onto my car for about 4 years and then selling. Would it be a good idea to purchase autopilot and FSD? For obvious reasons it would definitely be cool to have autopilot FSD but i guess i m trying to figure out if i would get more money in return when i look to sell the vehicle in 4 years or would i just be throwing my money away? Any input is appreciated.

cs1j79 | Autopilot & Motion Sickness | I usually drive my car alone driving to and from work but when my wife is with me Autopilot has given her motion sickness on a couple of occasions. When this happens I just take the car out of Autopilot and drive manually. Next weekend though we re going away and it ll be a 130 mile drive and I would really prefer to take advantage of Autopilot if possible. I have a couple questions to see if I can make things a little smoother for her. 1. Is there a smoother way to take the car out of Autosteer without jerking on the wheel? I have regular Autopilot so if I want to pass anyone I have to steer the car into the other lane myself. I would rather not hit up on the column because that takes me out of traffic aware cruise control as well. 2. When coming up to slower traffic and when starting up again once traffic starts moving Autopilot is very abrupt. Is there anyway to smooth out this motion? Thanks in advance! | SnitGTS | 2019-08-18 14:01:20 | 13 | exbsn3q | Set acceleration to chill that seems to help some people with AP s driving. Tap up on the AP stalk (if you have a Model 3) to cancel AP. Cancel AP and manually drive when coming up to slower traffic. | Dr_Pippin | 2019-08-18 14:09:16 | 23 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
fu8dck | Autopilot (2.5) observations after not driving for 4 months...(it s better!) | I was on a business trip for 4 months so I essentially sat out 4 months of autopilot updates. I am an autopilot fanatic so I m extremely well versed in the capabilities and characteristics of the system. When I left the car in early December 2019 I was on software version 2019.36.2.3 and now I m on 2020.8.2. I was following software updates from afar and understand that some of the December-February autopilot software for hardware version 2.5 weren t the best with a lot of reports of ping-ponging and other issues. I m very happy to report that autopilot is better now than it was in December 2019. It was good back then but it s even better now. It handles common edge cases....that is normal every day situations that aren t perfect much more naturally. Honestly I m blown away by the confidence on the highway where it is intended to be used. Navigate on autopilot is also improved specifically with automatic lane changes in moderate traffic. Still needs work in the logic of when to change lanes (taking an opportunity if you know you need in a certain lane within the next 2-3 miles). | OompaOrangeFace | 2020-04-03 13:25:05 | 23 | fmbsw93 | Or you just haven t driven your car for 4 months and forgot how great of a feature AP is. Your report is very anecdotal. | Dr_Pippin | 2020-04-03 16:50:06 | 16 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

cnvlio | Autopilot - Delayed Braking | Video: [https: www.youtube.com watch?v=\_3vWvndgqe4](https: www.youtube.com watch?v=_3vWvndgqe4) I have a 2018 Model 3 and have used AP at lot. Today I was on the interstate going around 50 with AP on when traffic suddenly slowed (a fast but controlled slow down). I had a truck pull in front of me just before it started. I got uncomfortably close to the truck and AP didn t take any further action to increase following distance. I ended up hitting the brake at 13 seconds in the video myself to back off. I ve never seen this before and seemed like a far departure from its conservative nature. It certainly could have slowed down a lot more but didn t. Has anyone seen this behavior before? | picard001 | 2019-08-09 01:54:23 | 13 | ewec15n | Did you notice if when the truck was displayed as the lead vehicle on the UI? | TheAmazingAaron | 2019-08-09 03:02:20 | 8 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
5bk2vo | Autopilot - How does it handle animals in the road? | If a squirrel darts across the road does it stop the car slow down swerve or what? | ambassadortim | 2016-11-07 03:44:46 | 16 | d9plved | It grinds them beneath the wheels of supremacy. | majesticjg | 2016-11-07 15:13:45 | 8 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
qtghdi | Autopilot - too close to passing cars | Anyone have issues with the autopilot hugging too tight to other passing cars? If I m in the right lane and someone is passing on the left my car (Model 3 LR) seems to want to hug the passing lane line more than the solid lane line. It s a bit nerve wracking at times. | Emu-Ancient | 2021-11-14 02:57:20 | 71 | hklndwd | Usually the car is not hugging one side and is actually centered. Easiest way to tell is to tilt both side mirrors down and then look for the lines. You should see equidistant spacing between two lines. I suspect you re used to driving the car off-center and now it feels weird when the car is actually centered. Give it a go with the mirrors and you ll see. Either way let the car do its thing — I ve been using AP since it came out in 2015 (in multiple teslas) and I ve been fine. | onestopunder | 2021-11-14 16:09:31 | 53 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
6txgi8 | Autopilot 2.0 Unstable. Is this normal? | Hello Let me preface that I owned a 2015 Tesla Model S 70D with the standard auto-pilot. The auto-pilot on that car was near perfect. Never felt unsafe using it on the highway. Long story short that car was totaled (got T-boned) and I purchased a new 2017 Model S 90D with Autopilot 2.0. I ve had this car about a week now and have been trying to use the autopilot but it is very unstable. It keeps going left and right within the lanes and on the screen the lines guiding the car is very gimmicky. There was even a time where it thought a car was cutting me off (no car next to me) and just slammed on the brakes. I took it to Tesla today and they told me everything was fine and this was normal but honestly I just don t feel safe using the feature. I m uploading a video of the screen so I will update that once it s done. I m posting just to see if other drivers felt the same way and wanted some feedback. Thank you! Edit: [Here s the video](https: www.youtube.com watch?v=I3lSQlm9-1o) | Taking_it_slow | 2017-08-15 21:47:09 | 39 | dlob04l | When I went to test drive at my local dealership I was told the car needs to be driven about 500 miles in order to calibrate. | Sophist1337 | 2017-08-15 22:14:20 | 26 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
5hnvuu | Autopilot 2.0 updates are incoming. | Just got the side collision assist auto headlights (finally) and auto displays. Edit: If you have set the car to receive updates at night make sure you turn off the head lights. The update turns them on even when locked because of the new settings. ) Edit 2: New update https: imgur.com a aT82g | wildhealer | 2016-12-11 02:30:26 | 229 | db1m6jc | Didn t realize new owners didn t even have auto headlights until now. Interesting something as simple as an ambient light sensor depends on the new autopilot system. | jonjiv | 2016-12-11 03:12:51 | 50 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
