The Michigan Tesla

@TechOperator Tesla definitely makes it easy to repair your own vehicle. I took my rear door panel off the other day to try to diagnose a problem with my window and they just have the emergency release cable hidden in there taped off. Made me laugh 😂

Time to kill that annoying door rattle. Quick reminder: Tesla publishes their full service manuals online for anyone to read, and you can order virtually any part straight from their official parts catalog. Folks keep saying they won’t buy an EV “because you can’t work on them.” Complete myth. Maybe you just need a firmware update.

What’s better than 1 clean Tesla? 2 clean Teslas!

@greentheonly @Jojje167 They were renamed a while ago, but this update just now brought it to AI3 vehicles from my knowledge.

@Jojje167 may be part of the v14 that I missed

Rebranding of autopilot in UI in 2026.8.6? All "autopilot" mentionings are gone, replaced with "Autosteer", "Self Driving", "Navigate on Autosteer", "Safety features" and so on (Whatever feels appropriate). "AI computer" instead of the autopilot ;)

@jchybow Nothing on my 2022 Ryzen M3. My dad’s Intel M3 received it the other day though.

HW3 owners, check your Tesla for updates. It didn’t show up in the app for me, but it showed up in the car. 2026.8.6 allegedly brings some undocumented FSD improvements. 😙 (minor ones)

@OutofSpecDetail Thanks. Looks great!

@Michigan_Tesla Seville Ultra HD

Stay organized 😎

@ShaneLindblom I do this with loaners as well. I like driving around a clean vehicle, and it’ll be clean for the next person as well! 😁

What's one of the first things we do with our loaner vehicle? That's right, friends, a full hand wash and detail! 🧼🫧

BREAKING: Tesla has officially released FSD V14.3 I'm downloading it in my Model Y right now. Here's everything that's new: • Improved parking location pin prediction, now shown on a map with a P icon. • Increased decisiveness of parking spot selection and maneuvering. • Rewrote the Al compiler and runtime from the ground up with MLIR, resulting in 20% faster reaction time and improving model iteration speed. • Enhanced response to emergency vehicles, school buses, right-of-way violators, and other rare vehicles. • Mitigated unnecessary lane biasing and minor tailgating behaviors. • Improved handling of small animals by focusing RL training on harder examples and adding rewards for better proactive safety. • Improved traffic light handling at complex intersections with compound lights, curved roads, and yellow light stopping - driven by training on hard RL examples sourced from the Tesla fleet. • Upgraded the Reinforcement Learning (RL) stage of training the FSD neural network, resulting in improvements in a wide variety of driving scenarios. • Upgraded the neural network vision encoder, improving understanding in rare and low-visibility scenarios, strengthening 3D geometry understanding, and expanding traffic sign understanding. • Improved handling for rare and unusual objects extending, hanging, or leaning into the vehicle path by sourcing infrequent events from the fleet. • Improved handling of temporary system degradations by maintaining control and automatically recovering without driver intervention, reducing unnecessary disengagements. Upcoming Improvements: • Expand reasoning to all behaviors beyond destination handling. • Add pothole avoidance. • Improve driver monitoring system sensitivity with better eye gaze tracking, eye wear handling, and higher accuracy in variable lighting conditions.

I was headed home earlier and had FSD 12.6.4 driving, and this car was pulling out of a parking lot and briefly entered my lane. FSD reacted accordingly to make sure an accident didn’t occur. V14 may be great, but V12 is still fantastic in many ways!

FSD 12.6.4 pulling into a gas station and parking! Sometimes it does great at parking, and sometimes it doesn’t 😂

@TexasTSLA And of course driving under the speed limit 🤣

I missed these HW3 issues 🥲😂

@TesCalendar1 That’s awesome, especially for the price! And I’m sure you could upgrade it in ways too.

First review of my $156 Squirrel T1 E-Bike! For the price it’s honestly really nice and fun to ride!

@AIDRIVR @j32pmxr My 22 3 LR has 93k miles with 84% capacity. Wouldn’t be surprised if yours needed replaced before the warranty expires…

@j32pmxr Cybertrucks seem to degrade very little my 23 Y has 29k miles and 85% capacity 😭

My Cybertruck battery health after 21 months and 14,000 miles:

@DavidMoss @kchau I don’t own a Cybertruck (unfortunately) 🥲 but it’s a great website for those who need it. A bunch of useful information is on there. The layout is beautiful and easy to navigate. Great job @kchau!

Attention all Cybertruck owners! My good friend @kchau just made an awesome new website for all things 📐off-roading. I really trust his opinion on everything, I bought his entire checklist last year when I still had a CT (RIP) & every piece of gear was awesome Make sure to check it out & follow him

@vad3rt3sla @99_Colorado Do it

Should I debadge my hood!? @99_Colorado is really making me question it

@OutofSpecDetail @Tesla You may of just sold me on bronze wheels for my Gray Model 3. I was on the fence about it but it looks great in your photo!

Happy 10 years @tesla Model 3! I’ve owned 3 of them, and still to this day, one of the best bang for the buck cars on the road!

@TesCalendar1 It doesn’t look too bad 😂 probably better then the stock grill 🤷‍♂️

Lightning with a Raptor grill 👍or👎

Us HW3 owners would love an answer on this @aelluswamy @Tesla_AI! 😁

Happy 10 year Anniversary Model 3!
