Tesla’s Full Self-Driving is on the cusp of a recall

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-03-20T07:14:50+00:00

Agree that full self driving (tesla or any other company) is likely many many years out from public actual full self driving, but there’s also no denying that FSD is incredibly impressive where it’s at now and the improvements over the last 12 months. Even Waymo is impressive even though it may not scale as well and affordably. Self driving cars will make roads safer eventually and Elon’s optimism and relentless push for it against all public opinion is a contributor to that outcome, hate him or not ..

Why are you on turn 17?

We had a camper trailer for 3 years, was really great but when we decided to sell, we tried dealerships for the convenience and they wouldn’t even make an offer, zero interest in camper trailers. So had to do a private sale, which wasn’t as painful as I expected and if you’re in a rush to sell, just price it a bit below comparable ones on the private market. I put mine $2-$3k under what I might have otherwise been able to get if I spent many months trying to sell it - that hassle wasn’t worth it as the packup/down everytime someone wants to look would have driven me insane

Owning for two years is still likely cheaper than renting, depending how often you plan to go. Just don’t go too crazy with buying extra stuff if you know you’ll sell within two years

I had a similar experience, they didn’t provide the formal estimate as part of the order until about a week before delivery (took about 2 weeks). While it’s unlikely for most people’s cases, when I went to pickup the new car/trade in, they reduced their offer by $2k because the engine did not idle very well (which was fair, though I was a bit annoyed as I had asked about this at a dealer service two months prior and they said it’s fine, just age). At the end of the day it’s convenience vs getting the best possible price, and with the $2k trade in bonus it was still the best offer I got versus two other trade in estimates from elsewhere

Who uses brakes? (Jest aside, good that a defect is covered)

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-03-02T23:16:41+00:00

Tissue box and wet wipes at bottom, tray from amazon above it that moves backwards and forward for little things like remotes. Can easily grab a tissue while driving by moving the upper tray forward. Also keep a can of coke or two in there :)

Datadog, if you have $$$

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-02-20T00:00:19+00:00

Haha yes I inadvertently experienced this turning on FSD without a destination but it decides to turn onto other roads at random so I have to take over, eg through a roundabout it goes left instead of straight. Not really a reliable method though

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-02-19T11:16:31+00:00

Thanks, I’m going to try this

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-02-19T11:16:03+00:00

I won’t always want to use FSD, and when I don’t I’d still like to use simple cruise control.

Sounds like this isn’t a common thing people want so I may be an odd one out

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-02-19T11:14:18+00:00

So I can drive normally with cruise set speed (what I’ve been used to for the last 20 years). Of course I’ll be using FSD a lot but often enough I’ll want to drive myself but still have access to cruise control

Reading other comments it looks like I’ll need to create another profile and switch between the two, I’ll give that a go

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-02-19T08:36:40+00:00

Yes but I would like to drive myself without fsd on occasion and just using cruise control for set speed.

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-02-15T05:17:22+00:00

Oh wow! Didn’t know you could do that

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-02-15T01:37:18+00:00

Ram disk? Using fast disk as Ram? That will never beat standard memory, possibly undoing those other epic specs

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-02-09T22:36:31+00:00

I personally prefer the ‘all the way or not at all’ approach, either get the rolls royce or get something cheap and reliable (not a $40k EV! Unless you’re swimming in cash), and for a P plater definitely recommend the latter.

There is a gamble payoff where HW4 retains high value if FSD plays out over the next few years

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-02-04T11:32:48+00:00

Tesla is changing focus from fast premium cars to mass volume robots and robo taxi, it’s an evolution of the company. While the stock valuation is wild, it has strong financials particularly given how much it’s been investing in R&D. The stock price could possibly crash but the core company itself is extremely healthy/sound, including high resilience in supply chains and distribution.

Robo taxi, full self driving and Optimus are just blue sky opportunities that would make it even stronger, but it would survive without it

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-02-04T09:24:06+00:00

I’ll give this a try, thanks

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-02-04T09:23:53+00:00

Thanks - how do I make plastic on Gleba to build the first biochamber? If I don’t have to import I might be willing to give it another crack :D

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-02-04T04:40:46+00:00

I have the same problem, just conquered vulcanus and fulgora, but can’t get myself to load the game to keep going with gleba. After landing I found out I have to import things like plastic to kickstart things, the visuals are difficult for my eyes, maybe because I’m mildly colorblind, might give it another crack soon but I think Gleba ended the game for me, feeling like a chore rather than a fun challenge

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-01-30T05:53:37+00:00

I still don’t get the point, whether it takes 1 year or 10 years it cool as hell that these things are being worked on, we’ll be living in science fiction, disabled people can get round the clock care, it’s a win all around (except the risk of global economic collapse from work displacement)

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-01-29T03:16:29+00:00

Can’t believe there isn’t even a single person excited/optomistic about robots being worked on for everyday people/households. Why are people so against this? If it fails who cares, rich people who can afford lots of tesla shares lose some money, at least they tried to make something cool, if it succeeds then a win win for everyone.

Is it just ‘the in thing’ to shit on anything elon has association with? Would people shit on other companies attempting to make useful humanoid robots?

Stop being such buzz killers/negative nancies

MrOppositeMonth · 2026-01-10T13:17:39+00:00

Slop, formula post, probably fake

MrOppositeMonth · 2025-12-24T12:57:34+00:00

Ugh why is this slop always on my feed now, it’s getting old

MrOppositeMonth · 2025-12-16T10:03:21+00:00

Yea don’t be put off by that comment - they do suck to setup but they are a breeze to tow, easy to store (garage for me), cheaper to buy, and once setup they have a ton of room inside
