@Hilbe In Chicago the R2 I sat in had the balance set to the back right which I thought was hilarious. Everyone that day must've thought the audio was terrible. Regardless even when balanced it wasn't great but not necessarily bad.

Remember when I got told I was wrong about the R2 Premium Audio because the R2 windows were open? 💀 I'll say it this way. When you get into a Tesla Model 3, Model Y, or Cybertruck and put music on with the windows open and/or closed, it sounds amazing every time. You know right away that the Tesla vehicles have a good sound system. That is not what the R2 Block Party MVBs are today. I'm sort of surprised they didn't load them with the production setup TBH. Obviously my opinion is based on my short personal hands-on experience and highly subjective. I look forward to others sitting in the R2 cockpit and giving their reviews on the audio as well.

I wish I had more time with it and less time in line but the R2 was great. I hope to get a better hands-on experience in the future. #Rivian

@Hilbe @timmort Only one R2 downtown? That's a bummer. Coming up from southern Indiana to check it out.

@timmort Half Moon Downtown, Catalina/Midnight Old Orchard

Looks like I'm going to (2) Rivian Spaces tomorrow for R2 Block Parties. Chicago and Old Orchard. See you there?

R2 in full effect at @sxsw. ⚡️

@isuggest_app @ZacksJerryRig @elonmusk Classic "He's right so I'll try insulting him instead."

@INterstellarEV @ZacksJerryRig @elonmusk I'm sure that sounded witty in your head.

Today is a great day for @elonmusk to refund HW3 owners.

@isuggest_app @ZacksJerryRig @elonmusk Classic "It's very hard. It's not their fault they promised something they can't achieve."

Again, no one had any idea how tough this would be and you can't fault T or E for not throwing enough resources at it. Patience. the 14.3 update shows, again, how good they are at squeezing blood out of a turnip. I suspect (but, again, who knows) that between hw3 optimizations, FSD transfer options (which they WILL do again) or hw replacement, HW3 owners will be happy. Tesla knows this has to happen, too big of a liability if it doesn't.

@DirtyTesLa Autopilot is a necessity for interstate driving in a one pedal drive EVs. I only enable it to relax/stretch occasionally, I don't need FSD for that. Especially for >$100/month. Tesla is known for technology and once you start removing that technology, you'll have an average EV.

Tesla... why do crappy things to customers 🤦‍♂️

@DirtyTesLa Definitely better for my knees and wallet at the cost of time.

Road tripping in a Tesla is better than a gas car

@chuckcook @Tesla_AI Next step: fixing acceleration/deceleration curves and improving reversing success rate?

Here is my highlight clip #1 from my FSD Supervised v13.2 First Impressions Drive. Let me just apologize up front for the extra coffee I had before heading out and capturing this drive :) Enjoy. @Tesla_AI

@aelluswamy @Tesla_AI That approach speed and deceleration is way too aggressive. It needs to show intent way earlier or else you increase the chance of getting rear ended.

@Tesla_AI Note that this test had the ego vehicle at 73 mph!

Every FSD release is rigorously tested, including rare and adversarial scenarios on closed courses — Here's 16 examples: 1. Reverse Cut-in (Occluded)

@SawyerMerritt - FSD Reverse and banish - FSD visuals for basic autopilot - Auto lane change for basic Autopilot to be more competitive - full screen navigation option - sentry clips in tesla app

What is your Tesla Holiday Software Update wishlist for this year?

When you want to use Summon the most, it won't work. During rain and some mall parking lots. I hope this gets improved. v12.5.4.2 HW3 @Tesla @Tesla_AI

Here is a small example of the acceleration/deceleration fluttering Again it's barely noticeable but still unnecessary.

4/4 - ignoring speed limit signs requiring manual intervention Will add a fifth post tomorrow for fluttering acceleration.

A thread of HW3 2023 v12.5.4.2 issues for those who are interested @chuckcook @DirtyTesLa @aelluswamy @Tesla_AI 1/4 - Late lane change crossing over median

@DirtyTesLa A couple videos of v12.5.4.2 issues (failing to recognize speed limits and lane drifting mid turn). Other issues: - failing to route to certain parking lots - random braking - fluttering acceleration - like tapping the accelerator repeatedly (very common but hardly noticable)

@DirtyTesLa HW3 12.5.4.1 user. It's significantly better than 12.3.6 but has its flaws. - Very aggressive acceleration - Late lane changes to maintain route but aggressive lane changes to pass slow drivers - Hard/Late braking (rare) 12.5.6 fixed most of this. Based on your videos.

Surprised to read this take on their FSD trial. Anyone else having a similar experience?

Minor nitpick, the Climate button should have the same simplicity as the other buttons. At least remove the gradient/color. @tesla
