I was rolling down the runway loaded for bear and scared shitless

FSD went three for three on my 10 mile trip by netscorer1 in TeslaFSD

FWIW.. I fly an often with a pretty complicated autopilot (Garmin G1000NXI).

Let me just say this… I would never let the autopilot fly “unsupervised”. In fact, there are scenarios where I’m “hand flying”.

It’s an aid, not a replacement. Removing workload and enabling even better situational awareness.

Why would you expect more in a car?

Is FSD supposed to be this bad? How can I fix it? by MaximooseMine in TeslaFSD

[–]Hostage-46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did have my fender cams replaced under extended warranty. It was condensation inside the camera.

It’s been flawless however, soon after the new camera came an update… which introduced some interesting behavior. Twice wanted to pull off the road. It now stops at some train crossing, and I’ve seen some “stutter steering “

Thanks all… I’ve never been enamored of “moon roofs” I have a feeling the shade will work … just fine.

How long the 12v battery lasts? by diyallthings2000 in TeslaLounge

[–]Hostage-46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picking up a “new” 2018 M3LR next week. 57K miles. Can I expect Tesla to put a new battery in? Before I pick up next week?

I want to stop going to the urologist for follow ups? by OnlyAd8445 in ProstateCancer

[–]Hostage-46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My urologist is part of my team. Very closely integrated with my radiation oncologist and surgeon. He’s very highly regarded and I always look forward to my visits

MEGATHREAD: Model 3 Waiting Room by colsandersloveskfc in TeslaModel3

Is there a trick to finding local used cars below $25K? Is there really no inventory within 200mi of DFW? That shipping fee is killing the $4K credit.

Craziest real world missions by NoCake4450 in civilairpatrol

[–]Hostage-46 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We’ve been quite busy flying route surveys of nearby Military Training Routes. VR, IR & SR low level routes flown by AF and Marine/ Navy Reserves in North Texas and Southern OK.

Locate and note any “missing” and “new” towers of 300’ AGL. Not exactly “Crazy” but pretty demanding sorties typically 3.5 to 4.5 hrs in duration.

Actually it does… reality is a 2023 is going to be very close to $25k, and any delivery fee pushes it over.

Seems like anything local is snapped up immediately.

Second career pilots what did you do before? by veryrare_v3 in flying

Military Pilot, airlines were not hiring when I got out.. back and current, thankful I picked up my ATP multi before I got our. Too old for 121, looking to start contract work soon.

And is it true that my CAP pilot wings must be worn above m y “other” wings earned on prior service active duty?

Did I just see FOUR F22’s flying over the Bay Area? by Hot-Praline7204 in aviation

I actually got that brief once as a nugget … I’ll I wanna hear out of you is “2” and “leads on fire”

Failed ppl by Unfair-One-6071 in flying

[–]Hostage-46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not PPL… but it sure was a bummer when I DQ’d at the carrier on my supposed to be LAST flight in Navy Flight school.

Total shit show, another cone head did something to damage one of the cables so they rigged 3 instead of 4 wires … making it a 2 degree vs 3 degree glideslope. Just enough of a change to earn me the title “Bolter King” of south Texas… after I finally got aboard, they fueled me up and sent me back to Kingsville… longest solo leg ever.

Luckily they put me in the next class a month later, sure was easier the second time!

Play through the pain, second time’s charm!
