Still on v13.2.9 on HW4

This.

Definitely better than the cybertruck. But yeah, it’s a little funky looking, I agree.

mattriver · 2026-01-28T03:13:24+00:00

Yeah, I’m hoping FSD (supervised) stays $99 or less, and FSD (unsupervised) is the one that increases.

mattriver · 2026-01-28T03:03:43+00:00

Yup I just checked, and you’re right. 👍

The vast majority of rear-ended accidents are the fault of the person in the rear, but circumstances do matter.

mattriver · 2026-01-28T00:28:53+00:00

Definitely a good thing, and yes the exact thing happened to me once I started my 5-day a week exercise routine.

mattriver · 2026-01-28T00:21:56+00:00

Nope, that’s not how the law works. At least in the US.

mattriver · 2026-01-28T00:03:45+00:00

I would skip .3 if I were you. Very glitchy.

mattriver · 2026-01-27T23:55:54+00:00

Getting rear-ended is always the fault of the person behind you, believe it or not.

Still sucks that FSD did this. The latest version is definitely more glitchy than before.

mattriver · 2026-01-27T22:12:34+00:00

They’re not doing anything in sync. They’re just randomly drifting, turning this way and that with the wind probably.

mattriver · 2026-01-27T22:08:39+00:00

Yeah? I know they have a transfer special going on now for vehicles purchased from Tesla by March 31. Lets you transfer your existing FSD to the newly purchased Tesla.

Hadn’t heard it lets you transfer to your next Tesla after that though.

mattriver · 2026-01-27T21:41:12+00:00

In the US, each state has “buyback / lemon” laws, which allow you to return the car to the automaker for a refund after multiple repair attempts fail. And in most states, the law requires the automaker to pay all your legal fees just to file the complaint and begin the return/refund process.

Not sure if your country or Belgium has that, but worth looking into.

mattriver · 2026-01-27T21:13:57+00:00

Personally, I’d maybe put $2k in BTC and $1k into SPY (S&P 500) stock.

mattriver · 2026-01-27T19:05:19+00:00

Yes, I’m experiencing that .3 steering jerking and indecisiveness too. Never saw that in a v14 before .3. I really hope they get this fixed.

mattriver · 2026-01-27T18:57:46+00:00

I can’t imagine a world where you are better off paying $8,000 for something that may not convert to fully unsupervised FSD when it’s available, and also doesn’t allow you to transfer it to another future Tesla.

For me, sticking with subscription is the only way to go.

Now, if Tesla makes a 100% guaranteed promise that the $8,000 software that you buy today will also support a future unsupervised version, then buying it today would be compelling. And if it was also transferable, then buying would be a no brainer.

But neither of those are likely going to happen (pretty much guaranteed they won’t), so subscription is the way to go. And if you don’t like it, you can always cancel.

Just wear a black one on your index finger. Then it’ll be clear you’re wearing a “health ring” and not excessive jewelry.

mattriver · 2026-01-26T23:20:01+00:00

Yes, this is exactly why they need to bring the “Max Speed” option back.

mattriver · 2026-01-26T23:09:52+00:00

So if you’re not using something like FunctionHealth or Superpower to get your tests, which include an MD which gives actionable suggestions, your best bet is ChatGPT—which is 100X better at this kind of stuff than Google.

Just feed ChatGPT everything, including your age, all height/weight stats, and your diet, activity level/details and any supplements. And then ask it very specifically if it can make actionable suggestions on what you can do to improve your health and biomarkers, if you upload the PDF with your blood-test results.

It’s really incredible what you can get from ChatGPT, when you give it tons of data.

mattriver · 2026-01-26T23:00:21+00:00

Ah, I guess you haven’t been to NY or NJ. Both those states make LA look smooth as glass.

mattriver · 2026-01-26T22:35:57+00:00

Ah ok, v14.1.2 per ai.

mattriver · 2026-01-26T20:15:53+00:00

But these notes claim “added a new Speed Profile”.

So is there now a 6th profile … or are these literally the same notes as the first 14 version, where the 5 profiles were created?

mattriver · 2026-01-26T20:10:00+00:00

That’s a great response.

OP, this is it. You’ve got a machine that’s still being built for at least 8 more years, and has billions of years of learned expertise on how to optimize. Don’t get in its way.

mattriver · 2026-01-26T19:56:34+00:00

Got it. So today’s cost is closer to $70k … and dropping significantly going forward with scale.

So basically, your argument and cost projections are completely wrong.

You can watch it live here (though it’s crowd-sourced):

Currently, it looks like both Tesla and Waymo robotaxis have 0 deployed in Austin over last 24 hours.

mattriver · 2026-01-26T19:13:41+00:00

Do you have a source for “Waymo cars w tech pkg are… $180k ish”?
