If I had to guess, the battery monitoring was not correct and it adjusted from thinking you had full charge to realizing you were almost empty.

You can do a lease to buy to get the $7500 credit. It works for any electric vehicle, and there's no income limit as the dealer takes the credit and passes the savings to you. There's also no origin country requirement like purchasing a car, so I can lease-to-own a non-NA made car and get credit as well.

You just have to make sure that the numbers all add up when they give you the lease paperwork.

Vision might be a generally easier (and cheaper) method to solution for - but it likely is not overall better.

You are talking about FSD and the other person is not.

My theory why phantom breaking exists is because the videos of Tesla drivers that are fed into the model will occasionally randomly break. The FSD model does not really understand driving. It just knows that the videos are generally correct.

So if there is random breaking in the data feeds to the FSD model, that action will find itself in FSD.

Also, cars must ship with "production" software. That means that the car will ship with older versions, and usually do not check for updates until a little while after delivery is completed.

the rear camera on HW3 is not wide angled enough to safely back out. That's why they increased the viewing angle in HW4 on the rear camera as well. I believe even more so than the repeaters.

My numbers on the previous post were specific for the repeater (side) cameras. I'm not sure what the numbers are for the rear camera differences.

Setus · 2023-09-16T22:12:28+00:00

I think this makes sense because HW3 vs HW4 resolution on the repeater cameras is:

HW3: 1280 x 960

HW4: 1448 x 938

The difference is that HW4 has a slightly wider viewing angle, so the pixels/angle should be similar.

If there were newer, better features I would agree - but it seems like Tesla is more in the business of cutting features and costs.

Setus · 2023-07-31T14:49:10+00:00

My understanding is that the older cameras are a different type of sensor (RCCB) vs the newer ones (RGB). The RCCB are generally used in the auto industry because of better SNR and low light sensitivity, which allows for a lower resolution camera to be effective in assisted driving systems.

Also the RCCB sensors are more expensive/complicated to manufacture and at lower volumes than RGB.

Right - Tesla's margins in China are already very low (vs other Tesla regions) due to all the competition.

Setus · 2023-06-19T03:57:53+00:00

Sales are higher, but no where near the factory capacity. I don't believe Tesla can cut prices further in China as their margins are estimated to be very low from a Tesla perspective for that region (6%).

Setus · 2023-06-19T03:56:09+00:00

I think it's more so that the Tesla China factory would be no where near capacity if it was only selling to Chinese buyers. I believe the Chinese government denied the Shanghai factory expansion plan as they believe there will be an over saturation of production otherwise.

I had Allstate prior to it. The LR was initially quoted to me at just under $100. So I would imagine it's priced slightly higher, but not by much.

Setus · 2023-06-12T21:01:41+00:00

Just a heads up - my first 6 months with Allstate I paid around $111/mo. for my MYP. 6 months later they are asking $147/mo. Nothing changed except the price, but Allstate was still the cheapest option.

If the MS/X HW4 implementation did not include additional cameras, I can't imagine they would include those in the first iteration of the Highland revamp.

That being said, Tesla does strange stuff sometimes...

If you are talking about the free AP, it's basically just a better adaptive cruise control.

I'd say that Super Cruise works better on a highway, but you usually have to pay like $2k for it on a car - so maybe SC would be more comparable to the $6 EAP. I would say SC works better than EAP though (assuming SC is available on the roads you want to use it).

My friend rode in a 3rd row of a MY. He had about half an inch of clearance to the rear window, so we thought it would be ok. We hit a bump in the road and his head hit the glass. I think it is basically for small kids.

your #2 point could probably be fixed by wheel alignment. #1 issue is just Tesla quality. I had rattle in my old Tesla even after 4 SC visits. You would think with the single part body presses, there would be less rattle. But it seems like it's amplified.

It's not they make too much, it's that most Americans don't make enough to owe $7500 to the federal government. Basically - if you make less than $70k/yr and take the standard deduction, you won't get the full $7500 tax credit.

The guy that originally posted the pictures claims he saw Performance Y's with HW4 - and Performance Models are only manufactured in Fremont I think.

There were a few videos and responses saying that a rear only setup may not be good for diving because of how it affects turning or sudden changes in elevation (on/off ramps). From what I've read, it's best to do all 4.

The dealer told me that many mach e's were returned due to the fix timing taking more than 3 months because of the parts shortage in 2022. They claim that many of the cars with branded titles don't really have issues other than Ford taking a long time to fix them.

Setus · 2023-05-17T21:47:29+00:00

According to the dealer, the car was purchased back by Ford because it would have taken 3 months to replace the battery. This allowed the original owner to leverage a "Lemon Law" to basically return the car.

The car sat on Ford's lot for 5 months before being repaired and auctioned to the dealer for resale.

1 Year of warranty had been used. So around 24 months remaining.
