@RoccoSperanza Then you got a different update than I did :). Attention monitoring was so annoying and now I can look out the side window for 30seconds until it dings.

@Clark_Hess Only notice those changes based on different conditions, not between the primary software stack build changes. Attention monitoring isn’t FSD, that’s separate and imo is unchanged.
English
Not to give up anyone’s hopes, I’ve noticed zero differences since 12.3 came out. This build doesn’t affect FSD beyond placebo.

THIS IS THE BIGGEST HW3 update we’ve had in MONTHS. 2026.8.6 is not one build. From what I’ve seen across multiple cars, there appear to be 3 variants: 2026.8.6-A, B, and C. My car is on A, and it feels significantly improved. I’m doing 10+ hours of testing tomorrow to learn more. Here are a few confirmed changes: - Reduced Vision Monitoring (seen in A, B, and C) - Improvements to lane selection (A) - Overall smoothness improvement (A) - Roughly 15 to 25% latency reduction (A) - Matches Tentacle Speed to AI4 (the future prediction blue line is smoother and reacts faster, seems to be on A, potentially C as well) - MAJORLY improved “off-road” performance (more confident starting on rock or grass and finding the road without accelerator presses) - Obstacle avoidance improvements Let me know if any of you experience these as well, and check your service mode for your Bank A, B, Trip Weights and AP weights, make sure to leave them in your comment. #2026.8.6 #HW3 #FSD

@RoccoSperanza Then why is the model more cautious, phantom brakes, and smoother at other things? Attention monitoring is also night and day better. This is widely reported and clearly they are sneaking in changes to FSD
English
@Clark_Hess Most likely any change one is seeing with 12.6.4 was caused by weather or map differences
English
@koby_pierce @TexasTSLA Honestly, it feels like a whole new experience. The less annoying driver monitoring is a game changer it makes it much more pleasant drive

@TSLA_inside_ I got it on my HW3.. lots of small improvements. The best is that most of the FSD nags are gone and it allows much more leniency of eye gaze!

In our WhatsApp group,
some people received this update during the night.
I still haven’t received anything.
Who already has it?

@Deandawiz @Tesla_AI Yes! I just noticed this today and it's an amazing improvement.

@Drive_Protected It came with lifetime FSD and acceleration boost, which was also a big bonus :-). First time Tesla and EV owner and I’m sold.

It just so happened that the highest mileage Tesla (609,000kms or 378,500 miles) for sale in all of North America was for sale just one hour away from us in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I went and test drove it and charged it this morning.
This car was solid. The ride was not that of a high mileage vehicle. We’ve been wanting a project car for our YouTube channel and a car that we can rip around town with and we weren’t going to let this car pass us by.
1. I am 100% prepared to replace the battery pack or other components of the car hence why I say “project car”.
2. This car still rips even at high mileage.
3. The interior is in great shape.
4. We will be documenting everything with this car, starting with a battery health test this week.

@JDooarte I was homeschooled K-12 and am not only very successful but also just as “street smart” as my public school peers. I’m sure this isn’t the case for everyone, but I had an excellent education and consistently tested well above public school scores. 🤷🏻♂️
English
Horseshit! They don’t get the education really needed nor do they learn how to function around people that are in normal society.
I’ve known 3 home schooled kids that grew up to be adults and I met them in the workplace. They ALL said they resented their parents for doing this to them. They were so lost when joining the real world work environments.

Homeschooled kids are going to run America in 10-15 years and really that means they’ll run the world. 80% of the homeschool kids I’ve come across are light years head of their peers in public and private school. Way more curious, thoughtful and well read. Incredible shift.

@robbystarbuck I was homeschooled K-12. By the time I graduated, I had a career in IT making more than my college grad friends. I now run a real estate business and am super blessed with an amazing wife and 3 kids. We are home schooling our oldest and he is grades ahead of his age…

Something fascinating is happening in education right now. I recently went down a rabbit hole researching homeschooling, and the data is fascinating. Research from the National Home Education Research Institute shows homeschool students typically score 15–25 percentile points higher on standardized tests, and about 78% of peer-reviewed studies show homeschool students outperforming traditional school students academically. But what really surprised me was seeing it firsthand. I recently ran a financial literacy course through Classical Learner, and I was blown away by the students. One 14 year old was running a business with nine employees. And I began teaching a 9 year old the Buy Borrow Die strategy. Can you imagine learning a strategy used by billionaire families to build wealth… at age nine? What I saw with these homeschool students is that they weren’t memorizing facts for a test. They were thinking, building, and solving real problems. This ties directly into neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rewire itself during childhood based on experience and learning environments. Research from Harvard University, Stanford University, and MIT shows that learning environments focused on problem solving and curiosity produce stronger long-term outcomes than education built primarily around memorization. Which leads to a simple observation. Students raised in environments that encourage independent thinking, entrepreneurship, and curiosity develop skills that compound over time. And that creates a massive competitive advantage for life. The great news for America is that roughly 7.8% of American children are now being homeschooled, and that number continues to rise as families look for education that prioritizes curiosity, entrepreneurship, and independent thinking.

I have been dealing with the whole cocktail of Long COVID, ME/CFS, POTS, and disautonomia for about 4 years now. For years I had daily afternoon fevers with no medical explanation. I still have bad days but more and more good days as time goes by. GLP-1 actually seems to help me along with other things. Would be happy to share more.. I have used AI a lot to sort through labs, ideas, etc.

@midnucas @geerlingguy Eh. Very few people use external displays these days. I think that will be a very minority issue. I’m just impressed they kept the price as low as they did.
English
@Clark_Hess @geerlingguy Oh my older relatives will forever plug in the display to the USB 2 port, call me when it doesn’t work, and when I explain to them it goes in the other identical port will tell me that that’s not their problem

MacBook Neo looks like a great low-spec Mac—but limitations abound. Most egregious is the two USB-C ports, as reported by MacRumors, are USB 3.0 (10 Gbps), and USB 2.0 (480 Mbps).
Both support charging, but only the USB 3.0 port supports DisplayPort!

I’m on 12.5 mg of Trizapetide
I’m hotter, have better stamina, and can tell you this guy is 100% full of speculator shit.
people have less lust
less toxic co-dependence
but emotional love is unaffected
and physical love is at an all time high

We initially thought GLP-1s like Ozempic, Tirzapeptide and Retatutride just reduced food cravings. Now, we know they work for alcohol, cocaine, gambling and other addictions too But do you know what runs on exactly the same circuit? Falling in love GLP-1 receptors sit in the exact same brain regions that light up when you’re in love The insane thing about them is that they don’t just suppress appetite. They suppress wanting in general, including romantic craving another person Something like 60M+ people are now on anti-desire drugs and it happened in the blink of an eye I predict in the coming years, we will see people on these drugs be less able to fall in love. We will also see them fall out of love, or be unable to feel it, in relationships that were previously great If your girlfriend or boyfriend started taking GLP1s and your relationship started failing, there’s a good chance that’s why
