FSD Beta

Comparing Tesla FSD Beta chill, average, and assertive modes

Great comparison by DirtyTesla. After watching the video, I need to give chill a try.

FSD Beta v10.11 - Unprotected left turns

I love watching these videos by Chuck Cook, good job!

Software updates

The trip energy calculator is getting better

A new finding by Greentheonly! It seems that the trip energy is now accounting for cross/headwinds, air density, and humidity. Hopefully, this helps when people might cut it too close.

Sync your Tesla driver profiles to the cloud

We talked about this feature last week and now a screenshot just leaked, I guess it is here before I have the need, but I’m sure many households with 2 Teslas really welcome this.

Accessories

Our friends at Tesbros just launched a console wrapped inspired by the movie Spaceballs, β€œThey’ve gone into Plaid!”.

Last week Tesla did another price increase, here is a table of all price increases since 2021, courtesy of Tesla Daily.

Tesla begins five-seater Model X deliveries in the US

Earlier this year, Tesla prioritized the six-seater configuration above all others, but it seems that they are already delivering five-seaters in the US. Now, if my friend Jose could get his seven-seater soon, that would be really appreciated.

Gigafactories

Is it just me or these videos of the factories are just amazing?

πŸ’‘ Tip of the week

Try out the different settings for Navigate on Autopilot and FSD Beta before you settle in one. Sometimes the description and name don’t really correspond with what you like. For instance, for me, Navigate on Autopilot in moderate is just really good, anything above that changes lanes way too often for my taste.

πŸ€“ What the acronym?

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.

  • FSD - Full Self-Driving
