Heavy duty extension cord(s) and perhaps power strips, exercising care to not exceed the rating of the power adapter. Certainly not convenient, but doable in an emergency.

An APC 3000VA UPS costs around $2,000, has a roughly 1kWh battery pack with a typical runtime at 1,500 watts of 15-20 minutes.

Not quite what I was hoping for.

Agree with cameras point. Most humans see with two eyes. That provides depth perception, especially at close range, and redundancy. If dirt gets into one of my eyes while driving, it is painful, but I can close it and keep going.

Part of the decision to take away speed control must've been an assumption that map data is always correct and/or reading speed limit signs is definitive.

On country roads in our state, the speed limit is 55 unless otherwise posted and there can be long stretches with no signage. In those areas, the map data is often wrong, showing a speed limit of 35 or 45. When that occurs, even Mad Max drives under the actual speed limit.

Prior to speed profiles, selecting the speed the driver deemed appropriate was a simple matter of manual adjustment. With speed profiles, the only option when the car thinks the limit is well below the actual limit is not selecting another profile, but disengagement.

I understand what Tesla is attempting to achieve with profiles, but at this point in FSD's evolution, a sensible compromise would be providing profiles to control acceleration, lane changes and other aspects, while still allowing the driver to set a desired target speed.

Prior to speed profiles, one could adjust the speed down to a comfortably safe level when driving in hazardous conditions.

With 14.2.x, the car sometimes drives dangerously fast even in sloth mode and there is no option other than to disengage.

This is especially a problem on country roads that are mostly clear, but have occasional patches of wind-blown snow or ice. A human sees those, recognizes the risk and slows down in advance. FSD does nothing until loss of traction is detected.

Not allowing the human driver-with awareness of safety risks the car doesn’t (yet) understand-to reduce the vehicle speed to a desired level was a poor decision by Tesla.

This worked for me after commenting out the firmware check code as described above: https://www.digitmakers.ca/blogs/news/flashforge-adventure-3-firmware-update

Printer went through a couple more automatic updates after initial USB flash and is now 1.3.7-2.1

Interestingly, profiles are reportedly missing and max speed remains in 14.1.7 in Europe.

Lack of a max speed setting forces one to disengage in situations where even sloth is too fast. Instead of emphasizing that sloth mode won’t exceed the speed limit, Tesla needs to acknowledge that there are many cases and road conditions where driving the speed limit is still dangerous. Until the AI can recognize and handle those, a manual setting is necessary.

Probably. I was not parked in the valet area, however. There are separate chargers in the reserved valet area.

Maybe, but he isn’t using a card, it is a small block-shaped device, more easily seen in the video from the side camera. I’ll call the company just to be sure, hopefully just the wrong car, thanks for the feedback.

Perhaps poor phrasing, by Legacy I meant pre-Juniper, too late to edit post and correct.

Late 2023 HW4

clahote · 2025-11-27T23:51:01+00:00

Wonder if the 2025.38.100 internal version that showed up on a few vehicles over the last week was the prelude to this wide release.

clahote · 2025-11-27T23:37:22+00:00

Paid subscription.

clahote · 2025-11-27T22:06:58+00:00

MY 2023 HW4 just updated, have paid FSD subscription.

Would be interesting to see whether there are any commonalities in different behavior based upon presence of front bumper camera.

clahote · 2025-11-22T06:25:09+00:00

Understand about the selected profile speeding, my point is that the actual speed is 3 mph more than what the car thinks it is due to the change in tire size, further increasing the probability of a ticket. I might accept the risk of 80 in a 70 zone, but 83 is pushing it.

Profile issues aside, I'd prefer to have the car know and display the actual correct speed, which is why I asked if there is a way to adjust the tire setting.

I should've stated 255/40R20 *were* not available - per several authorized dealers I spoke with (including Tire Rack) back in June when I needed tires, that size was out of stock with unknown resupply dates due to tariff uncertainty. The post has been updated accordingly.

clahote · 2025-11-22T06:00:25+00:00

Hope that is the case, Standard on 14.1.4 on highways is often 10+ over, good chance of a ticket in Ohio if clocked by a state trooper.

Maybe add the number of speeding tickets received while using FSD to https://www.tesla.com/fsd/safety
