@willfleming Night time and at that speed can feel sudden. The wide angle lens also makes it look a lot less intense. I had my first “close call” last night and FSD did its job very well.

[Warren Chan 🇦🇺 @warrenchan]

My first close call on FSD and it handled it beautifully. The SUV driver swerves into my lane and only puts on the indicator after.
The wide angle lens makes it look further away than it actually was.
Could I have handled it? Maybe.
Thanks @Tesla_AI

@longzheng FSD probably thinks the broken lines on the left lane is for turning when it’s actually for the bus to exit the lane. The logic is right so it looks like a mapping/navigation issue and @Tesla_AI @TeslaAUNZ needs to add this to their training data.

[Warren Chan 🇦🇺 @warrenchan]

@longzheng That’s disappointing. Is there a specific route or destination where this is happening?
I drive in and out of Melbourne CBD every day and sometimes FSD takes different routes going to the same destination but I haven’t had any critical interventions.

Cybercab at the National Federation of the Blind's Annual Convention in Austin for a hands-on experience of its accessibility features for blind or visually impaired customers

For example:
– Braille lettering on physical controls
– Space for service animals & assistive devices
– Wheelchair-height seating for easier transfers

VW plans to end its self-driving partnership with auto supplier Bosch ​as part of a wider push to cut costs and ‌after VW determined the technology was not competitive with other self-driving systems such as @Tesla's FSD.

This follows a report that VW plans to cut 100,000 jobs and close up to four factories in Germany.

Thank you @TeslaAUNZ

@ryanjaycowan looks like v14 is available again. Just saw the update on my phone.

[Warren Chan 🇦🇺 @warrenchan]

@spacetime_btc Just checked and I got mine too. 🙌

[Warren Chan 🇦🇺 @warrenchan]

@ryanjaycowan It doesn’t happen on every road. Just some.

[Warren Chan 🇦🇺 @warrenchan]

@ryanjaycowan Yeah, lately it’s been hugging the right side of the lane. I didn’t get any updates so I’m not sure why it just started happening a few weeks ago. I’ve been intervening and reporting so hopefully it fixes itself soon.

[Whole Mars Catalog @wholemars]

That's a lot of Cybercabs!

[Warren Chan 🇦🇺 @warrenchan]

Very cool @Tesla_AI

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.

Positive Tesla Diner review from Forbes' Brooke Crothers:

"On Saturday, the Tesla Diner was busy if not packed at times. And obviously not failing, though some blogs and reports want you desperately to believe otherwise.

Contrary to all these eatery blogs and car blogs that say the Tesla Diner is a flop, a failure, a disaster, that is not true, as so many things that are often written about Tesla. There are car blogs that devote all their time to taking down Tesla. I went to the Diner on Friday April 3 and Saturday April 4. I estimate that on both days 90+ percent of the chargers (of the 80 Superchargers) were being used. By that metric alone, the Diner is a success.

Yes, I’ve been inside the Diner when it’s slow. But as a Supercharger location with the option to grab a snack it’s a success. It seems that the ulterior motive of some “reviews” is to bash Elon Musk and tell you what a bad, bad man he is. That doesn’t give the reader an honest evaluation of the Tesla Diner as a great charging destination, which, again, is its primary purpose for the vast majority of visitors.

It's extremely clean. If you want to come to a pristine place to eat, the Tesla Diner is it."

This 93 year old has found new freedom after she bought a new @Tesla Model Y with FSD. She also uses Grok navigation.

"Although she has always been a good driver, my mom can now drive without the fear or fatigue that can naturally come with age. No more relying on others for every trip. No more feeling stuck. This is true mobility that can spark new adventures in a still adventurous women!"

Don’t believe everything you hear. Tesla batteries are easily replaceable. You just need to know where to look.
