So why show a Tesla in the picture?
Yeah that should be a JEEP picture I Guess Jeep has decided to Offer Free warranty against Tesla battery fires.?


I Do see Tesla has offered another free month of supervised FSD by email. Yeah I will try it for free, it has gotten better from reports on the newest updates.

Checking the last update installed on my Y sure enough includes FSD

Found FSD (supervised) offer in the car this morning. Didn’t say how long it would be enabled. Guessing 30 days.

Another concern is that free Slacker appears to be ending end of November. That the new Slacker costs $4/month $35/year in addition to Tesla’s Premium Connectivity.

I never advanced to Slacker but do use youtube music, on my phone. If connectivity drops out on the car or phone I go to downloaded music, Nice to have options.


The FSD supervised should be interesting most are saying it has improved quite a bit since the last freebee we were able to try.:)


edit: tried the new FSD-S and while it is smoother and does drive better... it still routes me to the neighbors home and also tried to drive into the 20 MPH school zone during school hours @ 45 MPH which would be a ticket for sure.

Put in another bug report. ,


Why Tesla can't seem to integrate simple things like school zones, for a school that has been in operation since the 1940's is Beyond me.

TFL drag races the new highland model 3 against the top Hyundai Ionic 5 N that has 641 HP

Tesla won the first 1/4 mile race with an 11.37 @125 MPH,

That is cooking for a four door sedan. Draggy said 10.99 seconds.


Second race they hit the boost button on the Ionic and it was close but the Model 3 still was quicker.


3rd race again the Tesla, even though it is rated quite a bit lower in HP-510 and 13K less $$

Using the new 30 day free trial of FSD to take my son to work today. Wish us luck!

There is a temporary road closure on the way to his place of employment, so it will be interesting to see what it does with that

Well, my buddy said this version is markedly worse than the last. He said he had about 20 interventions on his way to our home. The drive to my son's workplace was fine, the drive back however not. We turned left at a mostly deserted intersection, and half way through the turn the car straightened the wheel and accelerated toward an embankment that led into the lawn of an Arbys. 🤣. So, there was that intervention. I was not overly impressed. He did say also, that it's annoying that it reads Indiana highway signs, as speed limit signs, and adjusts speed accordingly. It's unable to discern speed limit, from our white and black highway signs. 🤔. He also said it seems to be on and off the accelerator a lot more with the new version, not as smooth. Like a NYC Lyft driver 🤣
The car is neat, but the FSD wasn't very impressive.

FSD sees this as 67mph.

At least it read the sign , Mine literally ignores the 20 mph speed limit sign before entering the school zone.

Again I really like the model Y, I hauled over 500lb of concrete bags home in it yesterday, instead of making another trip into town in the truck. I am sticking with my original prediction in a couple threads back on real FSD not being fully viable and up to snuff until 2027. The graphics are nice as well but FSD is still not really up to the job and more sensors are needed for bad weather like FOG and heavy rain at night or heavy snowing will all disengage the system.

Here is a tesla owner who used his FSD Supervised and trusted it a bit to much in fog,

Why it’s called FSD supervised.

There might be some explaining to do
