  1. Frozen snow / ice blocked my headlights last night

    Thanks! I use a self-tightening tire chains that's snug with nothing extra dangles, lol. Learned lessons when my earlier chain models were not set up properly. My fault being too lazy to put in the tighteners reasoning short travel requiring chains. Good it was just the difficulty of...
  2. Frozen snow / ice blocked my headlights last night

    I was given an advise by a ranger in Yosemite to put my tire chains in front for my 4x4 when driving in hard snow and icy conditions on the road. After some scary downhill driving earlier where my truck is going to where I don't want it to be, his advise indeed made sense. I have doing it...
  3. Wiper blade issue - blurry streak

    They want to install it themselves for added revenue? They could get more if they can just stock up their overpriced accessories. Unless they are just waiting for our Powershare credit to expire. ?
  4. Frozen snow / ice blocked my headlights last night

    To think, this is old tech for our back rear windshield way back when.
  5. Frozen snow / ice blocked my headlights last night

    I had them in it-never-rain (nor snow) in Southern California up Victorville.
  6. Frozen snow / ice blocked my headlights last night

    After reading what you did, I realized I can live with that little smudge. :p
  7. How many owners have FSD now?

    Losing my front mud flaps jumping the islands on left turns. Twice nearly head-on since it's taking the incoming lanes. And the other day, almost hit the concrete barrier while veering way to the left crossing (not just straddling) the yellow line while overtaking a semi.
  8. Frozen snow / ice blocked my headlights last night

    Is there a space in between the camera and the windshield to clean it. I just assumed the degradation was situational caused by the dusty road since I was able to use the FSD back on the pavement. My disappointment was that the FSD vision cameras should have been superior or state-of-the art...
  9. How many owners have FSD now?

    Take it as mixed blessing with many of us experiencing harrowing near misses -- specially if you have a weak heart. :p :eek:
  10. Frozen snow / ice blocked my headlights last night

    Tire chains can be a wiser alternative. And you might even be needing them except for the peace of mind.
  11. Frozen snow / ice blocked my headlights last night

    And then I got problem with FSD disengaging with minor dust with the message: front camera degraded. ?
  12. Frozen snow / ice blocked my headlights last night

    I understand, but the Google system in Waymo has employs a Lidar and radar and my son, not on Google nor Waymo but in government says it's now penetrating radar that can distinguish a mound of white stuff to be concrete or bank of snow and the deep of water in a swimming pool.
  13. How many owners have FSD now?

    Should be standard for all FS and should be the latest edition (although not necessarily better as it solve some problems and got worst on others). That pesky dangerous left-turns and straddling the solid yellow line on the left when in sharp curves and overtaking. Yesterday, it over take a...
  14. Creaking with slow speed acceleration and deceleration

    Mine comes and goes at random. It more the sound of worn out rotating plastic gear.
  15. Frozen snow / ice blocked my headlights last night

    Obviously vision-based FSD will not work too as cameras will also be blocked by snow-ice. But I wonder if Google's lidar-radar combo system used in Waymo would have worked "painting" a 3D contour of the way ahead. Encountered the same conditions on my 4runner and regretted not stopping...
  16. My ultimate EV dream - inductive charging

    Induction charging at home is not solving anything. Should be most useful in condos, apartments and commercial establishments if as many in common parking areas. Again, best case if our main roads are embedded with it. Non Tesla chargers are hassle to connect and Tesla ones in busy cities are...
  17. FSD 12.5.5.2 First Drive in Cybertruck Video

    I bet his top engineers had told him that since. But you know, the same reason that Tesla has the highest turn-over for his direct reports. Sorry, if this reply will reach you with long delays. My posts are getting embargoed and I am not getting the reasons why. I now don't have the...
  18. 2024.32.20.1 Update Now Downloading

    That surprised me. Because on the screen, it showing it's straddling on those solid yellow line and just now, it turned left that cuts on the opposing lanes. It's good there are no oncoming vehicles and that's a semi heavy highway. :eek:
