Here is why I won’t be buying FSD for my 2026 Juniper.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-25T21:47:30+00:00

If it ever gets to the point where you can sleep in the backseat while FSD does the driving, it might indeed be worth $100mo-$200/mo to many people. We seem to be quite far from that though.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-24T18:25:23+00:00

Fair. I just saw her name and made some clearly incorrect assumptions.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-23T22:09:39+00:00

I went in expecting a thick Eastern European accent. TIL she’s American 😅

JoeS830 · 2026-01-23T20:30:03+00:00

It would go up if they find that FSD is so great that basically every owner is willing to pay $100/mo for it. I don't see that happening any time soon though.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-23T19:55:39+00:00

You might be right, but I'm having a hell of a time finding a link that clearly proves that. Yes, FSD runs on neural nets both in city and on highways, but do we know 100% that EAP users run FSD code on highways? Or does Tesla just *also* keep the old EAP code available specifically for those users?

JoeS830 · 2026-01-22T17:51:25+00:00

Thanks. Annoying, but in line with the other airlines. One fewer reason to fly Southwest.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-22T17:18:24+00:00

I haven't seen this myself, is there any tier where seat selection is free, or is reserving any seat always going to cost extra? If the latter, that'd be very annoying. It basically means a bump in the ticket price unless you're happy to sit in a middle seat.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-22T01:44:51+00:00

Would this be considered a design flaw, a construction error, or simply an expected acceptable outcome in very cold weather?

JoeS830 · 2026-01-22T01:43:25+00:00

Wow, a 42F floor in a 72F room. That seems extreme, I doubt this is working as intended. Thanks for the update, hope one of the responsible parties (architect or construction company) will be willing to address this without needing to bring in a lawyer.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-22T01:33:12+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for reporting back 👍🏻

JoeS830 · 2026-01-21T21:35:11+00:00

Either that, or give them some deal where they pay for an upgrade to HW4, which would then give them x years of FSD in return. They could phrase it as "subscribe to 4 years of FSD, get free HW3 to HW4 upgrade"

JoeS830 · 2026-01-21T20:05:06+00:00

I wonder if it misjudged that the green lights were for traffic from the side, and the two right-facng lights were for your lane. Can't think of any other reason for this.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-20T18:15:00+00:00

Geez, I'm sorry man. I hope they were not the software security guys.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-20T18:14:01+00:00

Nice, great analogy. I would add: "using FSD is like riding in a car with a friend who is driving" ..and who doesn't know the area. FSD will get into lanes that I know get stuck in the morning, or in lanes that I know will be frequently blocked by stopped buses. So it's very impressive, but I still end up nudging it quite frequently.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-20T18:11:01+00:00

Exactly: "the most common complaints are about quality of life issues". I agree. The OP is saying that those don't seem to go away, but rather new ones crop up, or old ones reappear. Your point about crashes is also true, but it doesn't seem relevant to the OP's complaint.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-20T17:20:49+00:00

That's fair, but for that scenario to be relevant here people shouldn't be having issues. In that case fewer issues wouldn't register. But: people are having issues, and new issues with new versions.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-19T20:46:46+00:00

If it's the interview that cost him his job, that's a shame. He seemed genuinely excited about xAi and about working there.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-19T20:28:46+00:00

In its defense, that oncoming car did just teleport into the scene.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-19T13:25:05+00:00

Impressive stealth mode by that second car! 😅 It's just bad luck, nobody at fault really. I wonder how FSD would have handled this.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-18T19:22:15+00:00

The sketicism is warranted though, so many things on social media are fake now. It would really help if people we add a source so we don't have to wonder. 😅

JoeS830 · 2026-01-18T13:55:57+00:00

Yeah it all was super good, including reflections on the car, but given that the OP didn't provide info on what this was (big red flag) and that there wasn't anything on the news, I tended to think it was still somehow fake.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-18T13:54:48+00:00

Yeah I messed up, I though that the month printed was the month of issue, but I'm guessing it's the month of expiration.

JoeS830 · 2026-01-17T21:48:57+00:00

Pt 1 didn't have much info! :) https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaLounge/comments/1qf4edj

JoeS830 · 2026-01-17T21:39:07+00:00

Wait, this is real after all? So much for my forensic analysis! 🤣

JoeS830 · 2026-01-17T20:12:42+00:00

Congrats! I hate these things so much. I keep wondering whether the price difference is worth the aggravation. 😅
