I won’t say anything, but there will be signs‼️😎

I’m simply amazed at the Tesla demo and the engineering marvel of the folks who developed the new Roadster.

Of course, this new flying technology will likely require analysis of an entirely new dataset of user experiences. 🤣😂

Why doesn’t Tesla do this with their Matrix Headlights? Seems like this can be done with a software update. Pretty cool!

Edit: I think some people are missing the point on this video. Your low beams light up the entire road. What you’re seeing in the video is the high beams lighting up a section of road in front of the car. Then when you change lanes those high beams shift to that lane so you can see better.

I got tired of pulling the USB stick to save Sentry clips, so I built Glovebox: a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W that lives in the glovebox and acts as the car's dashcam drive.

The car records to it like a normal USB stick. When I pull into the garage, it notices my home network and copies the new Sentry events and saved clips to my NAS over Wi-Fi. A little web page shows everything, with all six cameras playing in sync.

A few things I cared about:

• Setup is flashing a card. Download the image, fill in your Wi-Fi and NAS in one file on the card, plug it in.
• It keeps the car awake until the copy finishes, over Bluetooth, with a key paired as "Charging Manager". I tested it: the car lets it wake up, and refuses unlock, remote start and the lights.
• It handles the new encrypted dashcam clips. If your car has "Encrypt Dashcam Recordings" on, it backs them up as they are and gets them ready for dashcam.tesla.com.
• Nothing goes to the cloud. Your footage goes from the car to your NAS, that's it.

It's free and open source: https://github.com/lubaxe/glovebox

Legacy 2016 MS P100D HW3

Sweet, now my legacy Model Y with FSD4 and a Ryzen chip has Unreal Engine 5 graphics.

Sadly, Intel models can’t handle it.

Did you all Ryzen legacy model owners get it?

Got the Premium AWD and can’t waaaaaaait to have a car that drives me around.

apparently this guy was too important to wait in the left-turn lane like the rest of us …

One of my biggest complaints about Grok in Tesla is the lack of memory between sessions.
I actually enjoy using Grok, but it’s frustrating that every time I get back in my car, it’s like we’re starting from scratch. It doesn’t remember anything about me, my preferences, or our previous conversations.
I feel like having an AI assistant in your car should more useful the longer you own the vehicle.

We got a flying car before the dang AI assistant can remember my convo from yesterday or what my kid name in the back seat is etc …

It runs in your browser, no ads or anything have fun and let me know if you can beat the 7 kickflips I've got here.

This 2021 Model S was extremely generous gift from family friends for a major life milestone and 6 days later it had to go to the shop. 🫠

I got a notification about the 12v battery not being changed in 5 years and had an appointment for Tuesday but guess the car said “We ain’t waiting!” And decided it wasn’t moving from the charger.

The bright sides: Tesla roadside was amazing, quick and very helpful. Also the issues as covered under warranty with Tesla itself they said and whatever isn’t we got the full extra warranty too but it’s just funny to think not even a full week of enjoyment before this happened. 🤷‍♀️

I still love the car

Update: Tesla says it’s also the main big battery 🪫 🥲 but that’s covered too just stuck without the car for 2-3 weeks

I wrote a free, ad-less app (i make $0 from it) that reduces local power emissions by charging your car when the grid is in less-demand. www.cleancrib.org; plugs directly into the official Tesla app. Prioritizes your schedule.

You can also find gas plants that may be near you here. There are ~2-3M Teslas on the road. If we all use this, we can make a (super convenient) dent in emissions.

This is easier than installing LED light bulbs, and costs nothing. Probably saves money as well, but it's optimized for pollution.

I am at .38.3.1 on my 2023 MS with HW3. I stopped using FSD because my commute is not bad - only 15-20 miles a day. Just wondering if I need to enable monthly FSD subscription to get the FSD lite v14.3 because I want to try it.

First Tesla. Any recommendations?

E: recommendations for like accessories and stuff like that

I’m 6’2 and my wife is 5’. We have our own driver profiles set on our model Y, with easy entry as well. For some reason, the car prefers her phone over mine if I have both in the pocket.

Yesterday, I had both phones in the pocket, got in, and immediately tried to drive away before the seat fully adjusted. To my horror, the car was trying to crush me while driving. Luckily, I noticed the wrong name on the display, and managed to hit the correct profile before anything serious happened.

It’s funny in retrospect, but I got genuinely scared in the moment. So, if you share your car with a short partner, you may wanna mind the keys.
