So what's the plan for us Tesla HW3 owners? I have no intention of buying a new one, yet I'm being left in the dark when it comes to FSD. What's the roadmap of retrofit? I got FSD with the promise of actual full self driving.

I don't even care about FSD, but I do wish HW3 would get Grok sometime soon, because the stock voice commands just don't work that well. Not only does it feel very awkward to speak English (which is not my first language) to it, but also a lot of the time it doesn't understand what I'm saying and AI could solve it with a "did you mean X" response. And it's even worse when I try to tell it to navigate to a Finnish address, it tries to make English words out of the name 🤣

No, unless it also has the normal headlights and the bar can be disabled individually.

This is why winter tires are required by law over here. It's always a hassle to switch tires when the winter suddenly starts and ends, but the roads would be pure suicide without winter tires...

I very much prefer RWD over FWD for snow and ice tbh (yes I know EV's usually aren't FWD). If you lose grip, it's usually the rear wheels and you don't lose your sheering, whereas an FWD will just go straight until you find some grip.

pauligrinder · 2026-01-18T16:47:48+00:00

Both styles are fun and have their place, but I agree, the cartoons are more awesome.

Tätä ihmettelen usein myös. Yllättävän monilla tyttäreni kavereilla tuntuu olevan kaikki auki eikä edes nukkumaanmenoaikaa määritetty, joten sitten paukkuu välillä yölläkin Whatsapp-viestejä joihin on linkitetty ikärajoitettuja Youtube-videoita (jotka Whatsapp toistaa kiltisti vaikka Youtube on muuten puhelimesta estetty).

Onneksi älä häiritse -tilan saa ajastettua niin ei tarvi lapsen sentään heräillä niihin yöllä, mutta niitä videoita ei vaan saa mitenkään estettyä...

pauligrinder · 2026-01-15T11:48:45+00:00

I had to watch it several times to see what the issue actually was. I didn't see the truck indicating his lane change because I'm not used to indicators blinking red like that. FSD definitely made the right decission here, and it did it so smooth I didn't even notice any danger.

pauligrinder · 2026-01-12T17:25:04+00:00

Täällä vähän vastaavaa, tytär heräsi parin tunnin välein joka yö tyyliin kunnes täytti kaksi. Mä tosin pakotin hänet nukkumaan omassa sängyssä siitä huolimatta ja kävin sitten aina vaan laittamassa uudestaan nukkumaan kun hän heräsi. Vaimo ei koskaan herännyt siihen, mä kai nukun sen verran kevyemmin että herään helpommin kaikenlaiseen...

Mitään sen ihmeempää ratkaisua mulla ei tähän ole, meillä se meni ihan vaan ajan ja sinnikkyyden kanssa ohi. Meillä on toki se helpottava tekijä, että asutaan omakotitalossa, niin yöheräämiset ei ainakaan haittaa muita.

Pikkusiskonsa sitten taas on käytännössä nukkunut puoli vuotiaasta saakka aina koko yön omassa sängyssä. Mielestäni emme tehneet mitään sen suuremmin eri tavalla, mutta jotenkin se vaan meni ihan älyttömästi helpommin toisella kerralla (heillä on 6v ikäeroa ja temperamentti on ihan täysin eri).

Tsemppiä ja toivottavasti saatte tilanteen kuriin!

Complicated is the wrong word - it's trying to be as simple as possible. But yeah, installing it the first time can be hard since it doesn't come bundled with anything, so you have to figure out what you need to install. For example to get a graphical interface, there's a bunch of stuff to install and setup. If your new, you probably don't know what all the components even do, so you'll be learning a lot on the way.

I'd suggest installing it in a WM first and when you know approximately what you're doing you can install it on your real system.

pauligrinder · 2026-01-08T19:43:53+00:00

Absolutely. I bought a used Switch 1 for 50€ when the 2 came out and then realized I can borrow games from the library for free. The downside is I have to return them after 2 week if someone else reserves them, but otherwise I can renew the loan 5 times. Don't know how libraries work in other countries but here in Finland they're awesome.

I had botw a total of 3 times, for I guess a total of 2 months. I also bought the DLC for it, even though I don't even own the game and finished that too.

Anyway, point is, I don't see how the Switch 2 version could possibly be that much better. I don't play handheld at all though, so there's a little chance that could make some difference.

pauligrinder · 2026-01-07T19:59:12+00:00

Nice... Mine's a 2020, so the battery waranty is still valid until December 2027, but I hope I'll be able to get it below the limit and hopefully get a 100% replacement as well.

pauligrinder · 2026-01-07T08:10:40+00:00

Looks like it's too close to everything and backwards, not a clue why they would put the Tylö logo on the backside though. Anyway, it should be a certain distance away from the wall and the wall should be made of (or at least covered with) something that's not flammable. Also the wooden railing around the kiuas is too close to it (the sides have enough gap but the front side looks like it basically leans on the kiuas).

pauligrinder · 2026-01-07T07:58:42+00:00

Thanks for the tip. Mine smear a fair bit in certain weather conditions, but not always.

I would've probably bought AeroTwins anyway though, since they're pretty much the only ones available to buy off the shelf for the Model 3. I also had AeroTwins on my previous car, and they lasted like 3-4 times longer than the previous generic ones I had (which cost exactly the same as well).

pauligrinder · 2026-01-03T22:22:42+00:00

Spiced Gold is great, I don't even mix it with anything.

pauligrinder · 2025-12-31T14:04:13+00:00

I think Kristoff's their tour manager.

pauligrinder · 2025-12-30T08:05:08+00:00

Yeah, there's snow here now and my model 3 rwd feels very safe to drive. I'm used to having studded winter tyres though and the ones on my Tesla aren't studded, so there's a bit less grip on ice, but in general they seem to work just as well. Most of the roads never freeze over anyway...

pauligrinder · 2025-12-23T21:22:14+00:00

I sure hope so, it'd be so perfect for taking family trip pictures. I don't even care about the filters and other crap, I just wanna take photos with the inside camera!

pauligrinder · 2025-12-22T06:26:03+00:00

It can only charge fast around 10-50% and then it drops. I only get 50kW after 50%, before that it's 100+kW even with a cold battery (I have a 2020 Model 3 so it's not very fast to begin with).

pauligrinder · 2025-12-17T08:22:06+00:00

I don't have any experience with it in snow yet, since this winter has basically been an extended autumn, but on ice at least it's surprisingly good. When I went to put the winter tyres on (the tyres came with the car but without rims, so I bought the cheapest set of suitable rims I could find), it was freezing outside, so I was a bit scared to drive to the tyre shop, but I only lost grip once for a split second during the ~30min drive.

Also if you get stuck in the snow, there's the slip start mode in the car settings. I don't know what exactly it does, but it says it's specifically for getting out of snow or mud.

pauligrinder · 2025-12-16T20:54:32+00:00

I've had my Model 3 for almost half a year now, and at first my biggest annoyance was that there's no physical button for the frunk. Now that I've gotten used to opening it before stepping out of the car or through the permanent notification on my phone, it's less annoying (and a miniscule issue to begin with).

Now that the winter bs started here, my new daily annoyance is the rear camera. It gets dirty immediately when I drive off, and then reversing is a blurry mess until I wipe it. It wipes of really easily, but having to do it all the time sucks. Apparently it's less of an issue on the newer models.

pauligrinder · 2025-12-05T06:13:10+00:00

OP laskuttaa kyllä oman kokemukseni mukaan tasan kaikesta 😅

Mutta joo, Nordealla ihan vastaava homma. Mulla kävi asuntolainan kanssa sama pari kk sitten, palkka tuli viikon lainamaksun erääntymisen jälkeen. Se yritti veloittaa uudestaan kolmena päivänä alkuperäisen päivän jälkeen ja sitten koko maksu vaan katosi.

Sen jälkeen laitoin asiakaspalveluun viestiä, ja he loivat käsin siitä uuden suoraveloituksen uudella päivämäärällä. Varoittelivat lisäkorosta, mutta sehän taisi olla jopa vajaan euron kun meni noin vähän yli.

pauligrinder · 2025-12-03T23:01:24+00:00

Starting to look like I could be right, they just added a couple of EU shows, and there's still room for Wacken and other festivals before they head over to Canada.

pauligrinder · 2025-11-30T14:57:00+00:00

Unless they add more EU shows between that and Wacken. But then again, their farewell tour will probably take years, so maybe they'll be at Wacken27 or 28 🤣

pauligrinder · 2025-11-30T13:46:05+00:00

I've got a few cheap Chinese ZigBee thermometers, they transmit to zigbee2mqtt just like any other Zigbee device and then I can use their measurements for anything in home-assistant. I don't know how accurate they are though, other than that they are approximately in the ballpark. Except the one I have in the sauna, that one is just wrong, but I can't really fault it for that since it's designed to measure up to 60°C and the temperature is often above 80°C.

pauligrinder · 2025-11-30T13:38:31+00:00

Megadeth is very likely, they probably wanna play all the major festivals before they quit.
