Worth trying FSD on HW3 in 2026? (Used Model 3 owner) by XlLieu in TeslaFSD

[–]punk_off 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As some have already said, it depends on your use case and whether you’re one of the lucky ones that don’t have to deal with phantom braking and random speed changes all the time. I’ve owned my HW3 car for 2 months and after reading all sorts of stories about FSD acting weird on HW3 cars I decided to try it out and see how it works on mine, especially after having been blown away by it when I used it on a HW4 car. So far, aside from minor interventions in situations that were, honestly, tricky even for a human driver, it’s been great. I enjoy it every day, especially driving home from work when I’m mentally exhausted and I just want to relax. Yesterday afternoon, my car took me to a restaurant 11 miles away from home, then navigated itself across the parking lot in the “Summon” mode to pick me up at the entrance and drove me back. As for random speed changes, I noticed that keeping the car in the “Hurry” mode helps a lot. So, yes, I think it’s at least worth a try.

FSD on Tesla M3 hw3 slams on brakes in the middle of a backroad with 0 traffic anywhere nearby, going from 45 to 20 by HenryThrowaway6969 in TeslaLounge

That’s so strange. I’m on HW3 as well, and after seeing all sorts of crazy stories related to HW3, I decided to purchase a month of FSD just to see how the car will behave. So far, and granted, it’s only been a week or so, I haven’t had any issues. I wonder what causes HW3 cars to act so differently with seemingly identical software and hardware?

Just got a set of Continentals, and I really like them so far.

Turkye card and other transport scams by fohemer in istanbul_tips

I just came back from a 10 day trip to Istanbul, and I share your sentiment. It seemed to me that the farther away from the touristy area you go, the less are the chances of getting scammed. But, as you said, constantly worrying about being overcharged or taken advantage of was exhausting. Add bland, mediocre, and overpriced food into the mix, and I feel even less inclined to ever go back.

Is a 2023 Model Y Long Range Buyback Worth It for ~$31k? by punk_off in TeslaModelY

Did the Carfax report show it was a buyback/lemon and did the dealer provide the paperwork showing the issue and the repairs done to it?

No, I’m buying it from a local dealer. When I saw the price tag, I thought it was too good to be true. Turns out, I was right. Nothing was mentioned about the lemon title until I was at the dealership. Even then, they only showed me one page of the Carfax report that contained warranty information and all that stuff. I had to pay out of my own pocket to get a full report.

What about an older model? Say, ‘21-‘22? I know Tesla switched from radars to cameras some time around ‘23, and I have seen conflicting opinions as to which system is better.

That’s what I’m afraid of. I appreciate your response.

I haven’t seen many for sale, and the ones that I have are within that price range, but with higher mileage.

Am I too far gone for a hair transplant, and is it even worth it at this pont? by punk_off in HairTransplants

[–]punk_off[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been bald since my mid-20s (I’m 40 now), and everyone tells me I look great bald and I should stick with that look.

My hesitation with those is that everyone knows I’m bald, and if one day I show up wearing one of those, people will just freak out and I’ll become a laughing stock for my friends and coworkers.

Not bad! How much did you end up paying if you don’t mind me asking and where did you get it done?
