@benjitaylor Make the video timestamp toggle-able between seconds remaining and full time. I’m not a fan of seeing -00:17 and would rather see 00:13-00:30. I know you can tap the seconds to switch it, but it should be a preference you can save.

[Spence @Spencecilence]

@onxlink Seems like it might be the case. I’ve been swapping between FSD on drives and manual driving and was noticing the streak from the previous FSD drive was still intact even though I had driven fully manually in between. Being related to FSD disengagements makes sense

@midwestern_ope The haze from the Canadian wildfires is a nice touch 👌

[Spence @Spencecilence]

@mindfullmoods24 @robotaxi Yeah, I think they should make it an optional feature. I think a lot of people won’t feel comfortable initially with the blinker sound muted. Especially if you’re in the backseat and can’t see the screen (or in your case, blind)

[Spence @Spencecilence]

@MGavornik @SawyerMerritt Agree. At the very least it should be an option people can turn off, but should defaulted to on for the early days of network expansion. Gotta make people feel comfortable

@AdvilCherry Stars by F.U.N has a good mix of over the top auto tune and regularly signing: https://t.co/XYtDRioO6w

@drex91 @Deandawiz Yeah, it’s just a button in your menus. You’ll have to manually drive a bit while it recalibrates.

@JonBbC_TechGeek @edgecase411 @OGMarsLife @TexasTSLA Nice test! I know it’s said in the YouTube comments but I wonder if wearing a reflective vest would change the behavior at all? 🤔

@BarryGoodStocks @j32pmxr @RoccoSperanza @BLKMDL3 Has ASS been updated with v14 Lite? I don’t recall any early tester talking about it if it has. I would assume it’s still on the non-FSD stack given that it just got updated in HW4 v14. Hoping I’m wrong tho!

@sylvainsarrailh That first image reminding me of the Temple of Time from Zelda

@butala_aryan @Tesla Great idea! Would also give a lot of us nostalgia of other old translucent tech 😊

[Spence @Spencecilence]

Yeah, I’ve had this lack of connectivity issue happen with various updates throughout my ownership (Intel HW3). My car has a very weak connection where I park it (parking garage) and when waking it up it sometimes takes awhile to connect to the LTE when driving. I even had my LTE card replaced but it didn’t help. I’ve noticed with various software updates it’ll get better or worse

[Spence @Spencecilence]

@martinhorak92 @edgecase411 @CamCutApp Nah, it should’ve recognized the cars in both lanes on the right started braking before the lead car (maybe about .5 seconds beforehand). Plenty of time for a computer and even human to react to that

@herbertong “On the campus of Texas.” My guess would be they’re going to start deploying the Cybercab, but it’ll initially only be for transporting people around the Giga Texas campus

[Spence @Spencecilence]

Let’s goooo! Been waiting awhile for this one. Hoping it lives up to the expectations/standards of vanilla v14 🙏

[Ashok Elluswamy @aelluswamy]

FSD v14 Lite is now rolling out to AI3 early-access customers. Based on the feedback, will rollout to more customers over the next few weeks.

This build distills the driving behavior from AI4’s v14 series into both the camera and compute config of AI3. It includes destination options and speed profiles on city roads, but more importantly significantly improved safety.

We hope you’ll enjoy it, once the build ships wide.

[Spence @Spencecilence]

@Jack_Frodo Stargo goes kinda hard tho 👀

[Spence @Spencecilence]

@HalenMattison Right here my guy. Coming to a street near you in the next two years 🫵

[Spence @Spencecilence]

Will be interesting to see how the truck sells. Looking at the stats the only thing that stands out as a miss is the 2,000lbs towing capacity. Outside of that, I think everything is fine for a daily in-town driver.

@TimWrede2 @xdNiBoR @SERobinsonJr I mean everyone keeps talking about the theoretical merger so I can see why that’s the instant conclusion. But let’s not forget that Franz recently hinted at the Roadster reveal + they’ve said for years that the Roadster 2 would have SpaceX cold thrusters
