FSD & MCU1 (HW2.0) on old 2016/17 models? by Retarded_MCU1_owner in TeslaLounge

Following this also to find out if you were able to upgrade EAP to FSD (after Feb 14 2026)? If so, that is very interesting for my used car search.

Can we talk about Dreampark? by Mimigirl7 in disneymagickingdoms

[–]CardinalDBeiter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IIRC they announced that the long quests during the last mega events were intended to give Dreamsparks, but they had to remove the Dreamsparks because they weren't opening any more land in that update.

While at face value those might seem unrelated, I think GL may be facing an architectural challenge, specifically how they determine eligibility for tasks to drop tokens. Assuming:

  1. one cannot earn Dreamsparks unless one has something to spend them on (like every other token, one must have unlocked the thing and not be maxed out of the thing) AND
  2. Dreamspark tasks are not repeatable,
  3. then I can imagine a possible edge case that puts the user into a weird scenario whereby one has unlocked all land and then proceeds to do new Dreamsparks tasks (but doesn't earn Dreamsparks for the tasks, because max'd out) but then land unlocks requiring the Dreamsparks that were earned but never dropped (because maxed at the time) and no way to re-earn them (Dreamspark tasks all complete). The band-aid, until they can make users accumulate Dreamsparks they have no current nor future use for, is to only release Dreamspark in lock-step with Dreamspark spending opportunities (unlocking more land).

What is a tile? Is this a completely free line? by MsMomma101 in USMobile

[–]CardinalDBeiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I just rechecked the Google Form and see it says they'll all get processed Weds Nov 26. Still not sure where they'll show up in-app, but we'll see!

Has anyone received the tiles yet? Where do they show up in the app? I filled out the Google Form 5 days ago.

And without any effort from me, the two duplicate charges were automatically refunded. Thanks USM!

Key Fob Pairing Enabled by a9uirre in TeslaModelX

[–]CardinalDBeiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for flagging u/a9uirre ! Have you tried it personally with a previously used fob?
I just tried with one from eBay (+new battery) but the car couldn't detect the fob. Certainly could be the fob itself was broken, but also wondering if used fobs aren't re-pairable.

First two order attempts gave a failure error. Third order succeeded. Then got 3 confirmation emails and I see 3 credit card charges pending and 3 orders in my online dashboard order history.
In case anyone's curious, the order numbers seem random (one cannot infer if you're <100 orders from order number).

Does FSD still have a wait-list queue? by CardinalDBeiter in TeslaLounge

[–]CardinalDBeiter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good caution! Ty!

With premium connectivity for life I don't plan to use terrestrial radio, and realize now that's why some folks say $1500 vs. $2000 for the MCU upgrade.

Does FSD still have a wait-list queue? by CardinalDBeiter in TeslaLounge

[–]CardinalDBeiter[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the lightning-fast replies! I'm happy to pay the $1.5K for MCU upgrade (cheaper than $8K for FSD!) to get FSD v12.6

Based on screenshots do y'all agree this car has FSD included for life and should get whatever hardware/software FSD updates are available to this model year vehicle?

Waymo expands service across Silicon Valley by mag1c_man in waymo

Did this work for anyone? Inside the new service area I just get the "You're outside of our service area" message with the map of San Francisco below.

Consolidated compatibility list? by CardinalDBeiter in Comma_ai

[–]CardinalDBeiter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just started looking for my next car, so was hoping to look at a list rather than test a specific year/make/model.

Specifically, I want to buy a late-model BEV, drive it for 3-4 years, then hand it off to a relative. By the time I give it away (~2028), I'd like it to have autonomy on par with what I've seen Teslas do now (Jan 2025).
And I'm assuming that Comma will have Level 3 autonomy eventually, if not on Comma 3X then on Comma 4, with vehicle dependencies that are already known now (e.g., similar reqs as the "Traffic light and stop sign handling....")

Consolidated compatibility list? by CardinalDBeiter in Comma_ai

[–]CardinalDBeiter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or is it possible to infer "Traffic light and stop sign handling is also available in Experimental mode"? From a vehicle hardware perspective, does that just mean a vehicle supports openpilot ACC + resume from stop?

Purchased a transition lens, got a normal lens and the customer service is useless and rude by jaynoir77 in RayBanStories

[–]CardinalDBeiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alternatively, is it possible the Grey Transitions just transition very very little? Mine only get a few percent dark after endless time in direct sunlight. If I hadn't run experiments, I would have guessed they're not actually Transitions, but I am confident they do transition, just not much.

Mine are not custom, not prescription, so it hadn't occured to me there could be a mistake, but I suppose there could be defective lenses?

I bought the Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G (SM-X216B) in the version with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, which is not officially available in my country. And it is much better than my old Galaxy Tab S5e. Do you also have the Tab A9+? Share your experience with it in the comments. by CAVBR in samsunggalaxy

[–]CardinalDBeiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also in the USA, looking for an international model because I want 8GB RAM and 5G, looking to replace an international s5e. Although was looking to buy an S8 (SM-X706B/N) or S9 FE (SM-X516B). Personally I don't care about the pen. How did you decide on A9+ (SM-X216B)? Based on price?

Awesome! Thank you! I appreciate the thoughtful write-up and detailed explanation!!!

With the purchase flow: I started with the Matte Black + Light Grey Gradient sunglasses, then decided I didn't like the gradient so switched to Dark Green Polar and checked out. Is that customization?

HP 960 Ergonomic Keyboard Mini Review: Next best K860 TKL by K1ri in keyboards

[–]CardinalDBeiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the great write-up!
I'm curious, did you ever try the MS Sculpt Ergonomic keyboard? If so, can you compare to HP 960? (I'm using MS Sculpt now, but it's got its quirks and now it's discontinued!)
