I report what I see. If it's good, it's good; if it's bad, it's bad. Does not depend on me. Make them release more awesome stuff. Don't shoot the messenger.
Got a car computer with a crash on FSD Beta (v11.4.7, gw 2023.7.30) in the mail
The typical "night, disabled car partially in lane you can see from far away" settings.
FSD active
Please be fully alert when using AP!
Tesla did a great job on the video browser for the sentry/dashcam clips. Really like the UI. You get to see all 4 recorded cams in real time and select which one is maximized.
I decided may be I need to be a bit less lazy and show you some Grok goodies.
Now time to figure out how to connect a microphone and take some actually decent pictures or screenshots or some such.
Grok currently requires premium connectivity and pairs into your existing account
I am sure you are all eager to know more about HW4, so I am going to show you the refreshed car computer from a Model X. Just don't tell anybody you saw it, because it's really a secret still.
This unit made appearance at the EPC about a month ago, but the picture was hidden.
Looks like 2022.44.11 includes the new vision autopark for USS-less cars:
Tesla Vision Park Assist provides visual and audio alerts of surrounding objects. This feature uses the occupancy network to predict high-definition outlines of objects 360 degrees around the car.
Some Semi porn for those that need it on this New Years eve.
The modular battery is rated at 1000V
DUs are cooled with "mega cooling" modules.
Axles are called: Torque and Efficiency.
(Happy New Year everybody!)
wow 2022.20.7 seems to go into insane details to improve range predictions.
Even tire pressure is taken into account (amongst many-many other extra variables just added). Also takes into account energy loss to phone charging and 12V accessories, air density, battery heat/cool,...
Interesting that "phone use" for Tesla means "driver is holding a phone in front of them" not "driver is talking on a phone that's pressed to their ear".
Hm, I did not notice it at first, but it looks like Tesla is adding unreal-engine based AP viz (the one you see today is godot-based).
The binaries are already shipping starting from firmware 2025.20 only on amd-based s and x cars for now
time to see if that could be activated
Great job, @Tesla, the reworked trip planner (in since late 2021.4.xx) is really spot-on for predicting arrival SoC for me while still sitting at a charger, more accurate than ABRP even!
At first I thought it was just luck, but it really is consistently almost perfect.
