Tesla Model Y

I have been pondering about the acceleration boost: Does it affect the throttle mapping? I drove a 3 AWD and a Perf too the other day and I miss the snappier throttle I remember they had. The 3 was always ready to proceed with minimum fuss whereas the Y seems a bit sedate at low pedal inputs.

Why they charge extra for the "boost" is such a sad state of affairs.

The LR cars you see on inventory are the discontinued Standard LR. They weren't available for long to order, I would say not many were ordered. The price was too close to the Premium LR which was much better equipped.

Is it too late for these AB sales.?

May have a dual motor later this month.

Definitely recommend AB for the AWD after driving it for a few hunreds of km over the weekend. With it the car feels way more responsive at the part "throttle" and have that effortless nature it was missing a bit.

Must try it again later. I dismissed it as a bit of a novelty before 14.6 - the nagging grew tiresome pretty quickly.

I noticed some weeks ago that the AS steers much better, and then I read online that it sometimes works now without actually applying any force.

The hands position is crucial for it to work "hands free", i.e. the interior camera has to think you're holding the wheel with your right hand and your eyes have to be on the road. It's very gimmiky but the car did faultless job following the curves of the N4 when I tested it.

I thought I was imagining it, but from the sounds of things, I'm not alone. I was wondering if they were doing some stealth FSD testing, as it felt like the car was actually driving along now, and not just keeping me in the lane (if that makes sense). I'm on fairly rural roads (with lines) and it was doing great with it. Still loses its mind when the lines all vanish on the last 5km up to my house.

Also got a fright yesterday, obviously very hot and we were parked for an hour with the AC on. I got out and there was a pool of water under the car. Took me a moment to figure out it was most likely condensation. I'd just never seen it before, but then again it's not been that hot since i bought it.

I purchased the FSD so yes in my case. You can now rent "FSD" (=Enhanced AS + 'navigate' on AS, or whatever it's called now") for €99 (not 9.99 obviously) a month if you want to test it. It's pretty handy on long motorway drives but otherwise not so useful.

I haven't actually tested recently on properly twisty roads on how the AS copes under those conditions these days. It used to be very blind to any corners until the last minute.

Edit: A keen aviation friend of mine compared the Enhanced AP a couple of months ago to the steer by wire avionics of the Russian IL-96 passenger jet whose smoothness leaves lot to be desired according to him.

No I'm in Ireland, I decided to keep this car forever so bought the addon when it was still possible. NL and LV have it now.

Are you not holding the wheel? Use AP everyday and rarely get any nags

I did a test on the drive home around arm position.

Hands on lap - nags after 20 seconds

Holding my hands in the air like Frankenstein but still 4 inches from the steering wheel - got to 5 mins without a nag. Actually ran out of road and had to knock it off.

Good video here about the 8L battery pack that comes now with the premium LR RWD. Synopsis: It's not too bad actually.
