Sounds similar to my April 2024 Beast.

No worries… I have two touchless carwashes that I can use. The problem with those is they will leave a residue on the SS that dulls the finish until you clean it off by hand.

Why do you think I came here?

Good for you. Mine went through a TOUCH-LESS car wash 2 years ago and the air from the dryer blew off the plastic trim on the left rear of the bed. You know the piece that flies off on freeways for some owners! So no thanks. I’m looking for a good detailer with experience cleaning the exterior...

Safely means without damaging the stainless steel or plastic trim. Drive through car washes are not good because they leave a residue that dulls the finish.

Does anyone know a good detail or car wash that knows how to SAFELY clean a CT in the LA area?

I like unique vehicles that push limits or challenge conventional design choices. CT does that and I’m willing to tolerate some issues on an early build which is what I have… If this were year 3-5 and I experienced some of the issues I have, then I’d probably not buy and would have got a new...

I think if Tesla wanted to offer the Range Extender they could. But maybe demand for it isn’t as high as people think? People wanted a $40,000 CT. What we got was a $120,000, $100,000, and $80,000 CT. A range extender adds $10,000 to $20,000 on top of that. How many of those would Tesla need to...

I talked about this back during launch. CT is probably based on a branch of v12 with the NN rather than the autosteer rules based system. If you’re going all out on FSD, and we all know by now how hard FSD is, then I’m guessing Tesla doesn’t want to divert resources from that to a redundant...

I agree. People shouldn't get discouraged, they just need to be patient. I think Tesla is making remarkable progress and right where they should be considering the state of the art. One detail I think that gets over looked is how hard it is for Tesla to get quality data for training. Our cars...

RoboTaxi is possible before 2026. But it isn't going to be a wide release and it will be geofenced. I don't think some people understand how far away v13 is from a customer ready version of whatever SW is in Robotaxi.

I use it everyday. I'm about to use it after I write this post. It works "ok". OK= good enough to be FSD Supervised. But it is nowhere near unsupervised FSD, watching movies or anything like that. I do understand how the technology works and I think by the later part of next year, some form on...

It’s great on most open highways and freeways. Performance degrades once you need to take an exit, in heavy traffic, on city streets and forget about parking lots! There will be many manual interventions. Nothing too dangerous, but it’s not a stress free experience yet. The good news is that...

Yes it’s a grey mess of pixels. I hate it!

There aren’t many CTs in the market compared to the rest of the Tesla fleet. Consequently, we might have to accept being the last ones to adopt FSD until more CTs become available to customers. I believe the Tesla fleet covers approximately 20 million miles daily. However, only a small fraction...

The problem is that it hurts user confidence in the system. We want to know the vehicle “sees” what we see in a supervised system. I suspect the real reason is that rendering graphics is consumes more compute that they need for something else. They may need to optimize the SW a bit to bring it back.

Exactly. People are setting themselves up to be disappointed. Feature complete, minimally viable product, and customer candidate have specific meaning in the SWE world. Tesla should be a bit more careful about their wording or people are going to expect unsupervised FSD with v13.

That’s still at least a 5 to 10% increase to charging cost.

This is not an incorrect understanding of statistics by me. It is by those of you who think this data validates your assumptions. If you understand statistics, you’ll understand that this FSD data isn’t accounting for all driving scenarios and drivers. It’s mostly highway driving whereas the non...

To many people, when they see 1.3 billion miles, they think wow a BILLION! Surely that’s enough. It’s not. Even Elon Musk acknowledges that publicly. First of all, those are Freeway/HWY miles. The most benign scenario requiring little more than lane keeping and TACC. Most of those miles aren’t...
