A few weeks ago, we included some videos with the rendering of the Voxel neural nets. This week the same person, @rice_fry, is comparing the neural network in 10.5 vs. a previous version. It is kind of amazing how much more detail is in there now.
Impressive drive in Chicago with FSD Beta version 10.5! Still not perfect, but this version seems to be doing much better than previous builds.
CNN released a video testing FSD Beta 10.5, but the owner who sat on the back seat has other parts of the video that were edited out. It seems like CNN selected the bad parts and forgot to include the rest. This article has both videos for you to compare.
This is the first time we see a Model 3 or Y with the new MCU and it is MIC. The previous MCU, aka MUC2, came with an Intel Atom A3950, while the MCU3 is an AMD Ryzen. There is a side-by-side comparison in the next article below.
It is quite amazing to see how much faster the new MCU is. I wonder when Tesla will offer retrofits 🤔.
Tesla just released a carbon ceramic brake kit for the Model S Plaid. These brakes give the Model S better track performance. The price, however, might be a bit steep for some, $20,000 🤑
Cool Cybertuck socks are now available on tesla.com. At the time of writing this only size S/M is available.
We are all really excited (and angsty) about the future products, especially many folks who are waiting to hear more about their future Cybertrucks. Elon said that this year the supply chain nightmare has had them busy but he will provide a product roadmap on the next earnings call (tentatively at the end of January).
The title says it all. It is great to have a second pair of eyes, technically 8 cameras, looking at the road as well.
Andrej Karpathy posted some videos of a new project they are working on. Pretty accurate detection! Oh, if you are into AI, Tesla is hiring https://tesla.com/AI.
With this trick you can add more than 4 quick actions to the mobile app. Be aware tho, if you ever need to reset them because you added too many or things start looking funky, you will need to delete and reinstall the app. This also means you will need to pair your phone as a key again.
To customize the controls, long-press the quick controls section of the mobile app, drag the action that you want to add and position it right to the most right action, it won’t show as highlighted, and drop it there. This tip is courtesy of @ILuvAmp.
As Tesla fan I find myself sometimes having to remember what are all those acronyms, here is a list of the ones you can find in this issue.
