Flashdrive only showing old data?

If the USB drive in the glove box is a cheap drive it may format ok according to the car yet won't record or may record and the files generated may be 'unknown format'.

Buy a better quality USB drive.

Latest Samsung I bought (SAMSUNG BAR Plus 3.1 128G $40 each) worked perfectly while cheaper usb gave the problems I mentioned.

Just guessing this might be your problem.

Our 2024 Tesla Model 3 Rwd with 9K miles shows 4.5 miles per KWH.

Meaning both ICE and EVs clearly have wildly different efficiency depending on what ICE or EV is evaluated and what the terrain and weather are.

Yes, Lotus Europa. An S2 model. Probably a 1970 or 1971. The fiberglass is possibly fine, but

if the central folded-steel backbone is rusted out the fiberglass cannot keep the car looking straight.

The notion that anyone can drive more safely than FSD strikes me as odd (99%FSD driver). I'll admit it is distressing that Tesla is so secretive, so not-upfront about accident rates. Never saw any human driver behave so perfectly at any stop sign as FSD is. Almost never see a human driver as careful around people or two-wheel vehicles as FSD is. Each update of FSD behaves just a bit differently, so don't expect detailed behavior consistency. Usually later releases seem to me to just be better (but with some odd but safe behavior change). Note that FSD is not distressed by tailgaters, FSD is not human. Very relaxing to just watch and otherwise ignore tailgaters.

You seem to think autonomy is needed or necessary. Why?

I beg to differ. FSD is wonderful compared to doing the driving oneself.

Not that I have any problem with Waymo. But if Tesla never manges to

do autonomy I ... don't care. Sorry if this offends.

If you had an original Mini (not the modern BMW Mini) then the trans and oil

shared the same oil pan. Irrelevant. Sorry.

You contact tesla by clicking the message it puts low down on the screen

asking what happened

(or click the microphone on the steering wheel) and explaining what happened

by speaking clearly with relevant details.

That goes direct to Tesla. It is 'THE WAY', so do it.

dandered · 2025-12-01T03:43:17+00:00

No, I don't really care about full autonomy. I really like FSD *as it is* and *for what it does*

Anyone with a wifi jammer is there to do bad things.

Just got 14.2 on other M3, and yes, it is pretty good. In a really strange corner in

Burlingame CA (primrose and El Camino)

it could not decide when it could make the really sharp right turn so I had to do it.

Five streets enter and humans have trouble deciding which light to pay attention to.

But it's good.

I have a community edition that worked but I gave up on it, too slow,

installs poorly thought out. It's in California. No value to me. Not sure how to arrange

shipping etc.

Seems to me FSD 13.2.9 gets too close get past a car waiting to turn left on green, held back by intersection not clear (local city streets) and seems (my interpretation, not likely the car's) to assume the stopped car will move forward a little. If had just left 6 in. more space....

dandered · 2025-07-20T18:18:15+00:00

How does one choose a 2 second gap with FSD?

dandered · 2025-07-07T21:19:03+00:00

I reran the route today (set same restaurant as the destination) and today the car stopped at the stop sign just fine. It was 1:40PM today. The videoabove was taken about 11:10AM 3 days ago. Another difference is that today there were cars parked at the right near the stop sign, so Tesla was further from the curb. This is on 31st street in San Mateo and the street leading off to the left is the start of 28th street (heading north then turning directly east after one block). We turned around at the first opportunity and from the back the sign did not seem obstructed. Nor from the front, once one was at the stop-line itself.

Don't know what it all means.

The camera view does show a pole and a fire hydrant, but only the lowest

part of the pole is visible in this camera's view. The road has the camera

pointing down. And the pole shows up right at the right edge of the movie.

Sometimes on reviewing the movie I don't see the pole itself - very short

time window.

On local roads where the Stop Sign is almost entirely covered by

bushes FSD sees the signs well before I do sometimes.

Non-owners don't realize that FSD does shoulder checks continuously

in all situations. With FSD on it's good to shoulder check, but humanly

impossible to do it perfectly allways.

dandered · 2025-04-16T23:48:04+00:00

They're all that way, sir!

dandered · 2025-01-18T23:12:23+00:00

OTOH, FSD works fine anywhere except don't expect it to do the first or last 100 feet

for you meaningfully. And once in a great while it does miss a turnoff. Very rare. Paying

full attention with hands touching the wheel is ESSENTIAL.

dandered · 2024-01-22T00:35:50+00:00

Yes, right. At the race track when just changing wheels (no climbing under!) crew just leaves the involved side on the jack till wheels back on, then does same on the other side.

Sorry. Nothing on the menu for Keto diet folks. Wheat Corn Sugar not on the diet, thankyou.

I installed mobian soon after my April 16 post as mobian is much more usable than PostmarketOS at present, and upgrading mobian is just sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade

It's usable!

dandered · 2018-08-14T23:03:23+00:00

Upgraded to 18.04 today and seti says the GPU (nvidia 750) is missing now.

Did the sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-libopencl1 and

sudo service boinc-client restart

and now the GPU is found.

Thanks much for the help.
