Odds are, you can simply buy the HEPA filter and install it after the fact. You won't get the bioweapon defense mode option, but it's not much more than max fan. My Model X didn't come with the HEPA filter and I was able to buy and install it. There'd be little advantage for Tesla to do...
It doesn't matter how safe FSD is, it has to give the driver the ability to set a maximum speed. Until Tesla starts paying the speeding tickets, it doesn't matter how safe FSD thinks it is driving. In NC, speeding over 80 MPH can result in automatic license suspension.
Personally, I'd like to...
Not sure where I suggested a refund for anyone. I bought my 2016 AP2 Model X with EAP for $5k and grabbed the FSD upgrade for $2k when it was briefly offered before people complained about the price drop and it was raised back up. Tesla delivered as promised and upgraded my computer to HW3 and...
This exact scenario has already played out for AP2 and AP2.5 owners upgrading to HW3. Buying FSD entitled you to a free computer/camera upgrade, but the cost for FSD wasn't fixed based on your purchase, so increases in the FSD price absorbed the cost of the HW upgrade. In order to subscribe to...
As a prior AP2 2016 Model X P100D owner, I already went through the upgrade to the HW3 computer (done when I upgraded to MCU 2) and camera upgrade (done when they released FSD Beta wide).
I don't imagine the process will be quick due to the much larger number of HW3 vehicles on the road, but I...
I expect the intent was to be helpful, but the reality is Gemini’s “expertise” on this matter is simply summarizing a bunch of opinions that came mostly from this site, with a mix of misinformation. The last thing I’d want to do is baby my PCS so it fails out of warranty and there’s no insight...
If you're pressing the accelerator to increase speed above 85mph, you've overridden FSDs ability to slow down or stop. FSD is limited to 85mph, not 86 or 87. You made a conscious decision to override the speed and the car is telling you that you need to take over full control. The...
Ironically, I find FSD often has better visibility in adverse conditions than I do. A good example being moderate/heavy rain at night where I have a hard time seeing the lane markings. I assume the slightly higher vantage point and the camera filters give the car an advantage. That said...
I'll definitely be buying one if it works as advertised. Not having a HUD is I think one of the biggest misses Tesla has made, it's the #1 thing I miss from my BMWs.
The flip up screen is the combiner, that should work fine and there are always aftermarket (or maybe it will include) a combiner film. The video doesn't show one, but that doesn't mean there isn't. I don't think collimation is as critical, since we're all already refocusing on the center...
Windshield projected HUDs generally require special windshields that eliminate the double image you usually get because the image is reflected off both layers of glass. Collimation of the image means focusing it as if it were a distant image, so your eyes don't need to constantly re-focus when...
My money is on the pickup being identified by the FSD computer as a potential oncoming vehicle because it had no prior data to estimate speed/direction. Once it was confident it wasn't moving, it resumed (or you did). It had enough information to know the black vehicle was parked, but I assume...
You'll recover the inaccessible energy, but you're probably never going to see the displayed range increase. Consumption from driving and heating, are still higher in cold weather, but if you had 4kW of battery inaccessible then that energy will become available as the battery heats up through...
You really need to get some insight into how often the truck is awake vs. sleeping. One of the properly configured monitoring apps, should be able to give you some insight. Improperly configured, those same apps can increase drain by preventing the vehicle from sleeping. Personally, I use...
If my PCS were to fail outside the warranty period, I would push hard for a goodwill repair based on the seemingly high reported failure rate. Results are obviously going to vary based on SC, but if you have a good relationship with them, you stand a decent chance of at least getting the parts...
