Tesla Talk 2

May I introduce you to the notion of sarcasm?

Do you drive a Tesla @prosaic?

Mine shat the bed yesterday for no apparent reason. Just after passing the car on the right here while doing about 80km/HR on autopilot, slammed hard on the brakes and reminded me why I rarely use the bloody thing. The car ahead didn't slow down, cars coming in the opposite direction were driving normally and Tesla Vision's basic lane keep assist and cruise control can't even work properly.

No, an Ioniq 5.

You are using autopilot which is not same as fsd. also fsd 13 is a lot better than 12 (moot point in Ireland where fsd is not currently allowed anyway). HW4 is require to run the newest version of fsd.

The Austin deployment will be using a newer fsd (assume it will be fsd 14) and possibly even using HW5 (not sure about that).

Supposedly HW3 cars will be udgraded for people who want to use fsd unsupervised, when that becomes available (due to promises made).

Probably included the shadow of the car on the tight as part of the car, assessed it was in your lane and dropped anchors accordingly.

Tesla always lauded for tech and you can't even use cruise control on a decent single lane road without it shltting the bed.

I didn’t notice that until you said it, but jeez if that’s the case, it’s a pretty bad misread of the situation.

The worst/only thing I’ve noticed with the VW one is that sometimes on winding 120kmph motorway it’ll spot a lower speed limit sign on an off ramp that appears to be in front of the car and starts to slow, unless I jab the accelerator first to ignore it

cameras accurately identifying 100.000% of objects in the pitch dark and making the correct decisions instantaneously, feels like an oxymoron.

I’ll say one thing, this Tesla camera-only story is fascinating to follow. It’s really all just about cost-savings at the cost of driver safety, irrespective of how well Tesla get it to work.

It’s all about those photons 🙄😀

I had auto steer on, it won’t work at all with it.

The advanced auto pilot came with mine as I bought a 3mt old demo model off them. Struggling to figure out what people who paid for that upgrade actually got for their money.

The only option in autopilot is Traffic aware cruise control or Auto steer beta which I presume everyone has. The Mrs managed to record one strike out the other day whatever she did, so 4 more and they’ll disable it.

It feels like dumb/trad cruise, which i'm fine with, auto steer is just pure lazy and dangerous as it can drag you off course and won't avoid obstacles.

some v big drops in the main EU markets, and huge 62% drop in the UK too

and here’s year-to-date. The line is -50%, so they are down 60%+ in most of the biggest markets.

In the Uk, even though they had a good Q1, they are now under 10% of marketshare

have you a break down by model year on year? As in the 3 and Y. Very few people would be ordering a new car and buying the old model.

In a Country where cars are mostly ordered as company cars many months in advance that shouldn't be having an impact.

Production of Juniper in Germany started in mid January with delivery starting at start of March.

there should be zero supply side issues in Berlin, for both the highland or the juniper.

The only reason to produce-to-order in Berlin would be a demand issue and to not have stock building up, like the overproduction problems they have in the US, with cars literally parked anywhere they can find space, and vast parks of cars is expensive.

Well there is, if you go onto the German telsa forums (it's handy if you can read german), people who ordered when the books opened in february are now only getting delivery dates. If you order one today it's June delivery, I see people have changed their mind on spec extra vins are getting reassigned so there's obiviously demand.
