Massive Tesla Update Adds 3 NEW Features Every Owner Wanted

[@davehickey2293]

Not sure what the 3 new updates are. Watching a long video like this one to try to find out what the captioned new features are is too much for me as I found most of the other information outside my interest. This comment is more in the nature of an answer to an unasked survey question; i.e. would you continue to view these videos if they were all done as mentioned above, to which the answer would be, “no it’s just frustrating and overly time consumptive”.

[@Resist4]

I have no idea what the 3 new features are either.

Why don't other Tesla owners ask for cross traffic alerts when in reverse. Is it just me that wants this? 😢

[@srikrishnathatavarthi889]

Yes I asked Tesla in X but no comments from them .

[@GraemeHart8888]

You're not the only one

[@aaronrdaniels]

My 2014 ford fusion had this

[@DelPhonic1]

I’d love this. But something tells me that someone owns the patent that Elon doesn’t want to pay.

[@werecow68]

My 2010 SHO had it and it was far from a premium priced car.

[@slowercuber7767]

12.5.6.3 is incredibly smooth (except when stopping at stop signs, but I may have had it in Hurry mode, and even then it is fairly smooth, just a little too hard). On the highway it is amazing, though sometimes FSD changes lanes too often, it does a very good job doing so. Prior to this release, exiting the highway was clumsy, now it is super smooth. Prior to this release, pulling back over out of the passing lane was often done too close to the passed vehicle, now it seems to be getting amply but not too far ahead before cutting back over out of the passing lane. I'm loving it. Suggestion for Tesla: Give us back the Minimal Lane Change setting. There are times us old geezers just want to stay in the lane we're in even if it is running a little slow.

[@awilmymartinez3707]

There’s a option that make it change lanes less often

[@mikefucito6030]

When you select chill mode, this minimizes the lane changes.

[@TedKidd]

The latest V4 update is amazing, BUT When I carry bikes... (On both v4 and v3 cars) Accelerates way too abruptly Comes into stop signs, traffic lights, left and right turns way too fast. Closes following distance way too fast then tailgates scary close (less than 1 second) following distance. Really a bummer, wish we could have following distance setting back. Ideally represented in seconds (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3... ) And it might be good to be able to tell the car you are carrying bikes so it's not driving like a confused jack rabbit.

[@TedKidd]

11:00 hertz bought before Joes tax credit, so that took 15-25% of value out of their whole fleet in 1 day. They do a terrible job with EV, no charging on-site, renting 50kw chevy bolt with no easy recharging, they were morons.

[@Lzanocco]

My M3 2019 was rear ended like yours a couple of years ago. $28K…which they repaired. It was good as new and the repair is surprisingly undetectable. (Northern IL/Southern WI)

[@carensimon4236]

Agree - Hertz screwed up with Tesla's. We've rented M3's twice. No charging cables, despite their saying they come with "charging kits". I even called in advance to confirm. And their are other other issues with how Hertz handles EVs. Tesla depreciation was a problem, but Hertz didn't promote EVs well at all.

[@choongta]

11:05, hoping to get rid of 30,000: Not sure if I searched correctly on Hertz website, but for CA, there is only 1 Tesla for sale. When I unchecked the filter for only CA to show all states, there are only 16 Teslas total for sale . Strange.

[@teslatalk42069]

The pedal rivet was also a physical recall for the cyber truck

[@GreggPolicari]

The new update is the smoothest drive that I have ever had from Tesla, like a 18year old driver is driving! Before it was like a 15 year old was driving.

[@TheSleestak]

I just got my AI4 Model 3 long range RWD and was able to transfer FSD from my HW3 Model Y, get 0% financing and $7,500 tax credit - all 3 of those options could evaporate any moment. Fantastic deal for a fantastic car. P.S. shout out from Alpharetta

Trunk lid replacement, easy repair. I was also rear-ended in my 2018 Model 3. They just knocked the dents out. Couldn’t tell.

[@metriczeppelin]

It appears the damage is higher up. The bumper cover looks o.k., if so, the rear suspension should be o.k. as well. Just being positive.

[@bryanmiller2023]

Hertz EV issues are their own fault. Clearly buying so many EVs from the start wasn't a good business decision. Looking at the Tesla's they are selling, many have very low miles. It's like buying a new car then selling it too soon, it doesn't matter who you are or your reasons for selling, initial depreciation is killer. If anything, Hertz should be holding onto Teslas longer than ICE vehicles since the drivetrains cost less to maintain. Uber use must be pretty hard on their vehicles.

[@fyeofyeo402]

It was a time that Hertz did not explain charging. New renters did not have to use only Tesla chargers if they had partnered with all the charging networks. Also no adapters. My coworker thought she can use only Tesla and all out of the way. Also, it was not explained Tesla doors lock and power down by themselves.

@@petertraveller6421 I always find these comments curious. This podcast is a business for them and they have a a broad audience interested in various EV topics. It’s like someone going to McDonald’s and complaining they sell chicken sandwiches when all they’re interested in is burgers.

[@seths6069]

I have a suggestion for you IF your model 3 is repairable. DON'T USE A CERTIFIED TESLA SHOP. Use only an actually Tesla shop, even if an appt is weeks away. It took me 6 months to get my model s back from one of those recommended certified tesla shop. My damage was only my front bumper and a fog lamp. The relationship that Tesla keeps with these shops are terrible, Tesla treats them like a black sheep. Parts weren't ordered until actually approved by Tesla because tesla makes shops eat parts that are wrongly ordered, in addition Tesla takes a long time to diagnose a car that is not at there shop, which further delays. Tesla delivered the wrong part over a 3 week period. The same part. They wouldnt do that at there own shop. Shop failed to ensure all replaced parts were installed correctly which when I realized they were not caused, returning the car and added more down time. So if I could prevent you from having a nightmare like I had, I will. I thought that I would pass my terrible experience along to you and to others.

Surprise inventory is a smart way to stop the buy and flip for profit people. GM started doing that with the Hummer and Silverado EV

[@mechakoush]

I love FSD but we should have the option to train where our parking spot is in a building to end it to that point, as most of the time for buildings, it ends up just stopping in front of the building entrance.

[@berthogendoorn2133]

Software, ride quality (performance, handling and smoothness) and how quiet is the cabin on Xiaomi those would hit the spot for me!

[@DishNetworkDealerNEO]

You forgot to mention the physical swap out of drivetrain motors from early Cybertrucks. The wiper motor, not the wiper was replaced.

Hi Kim, with the onset of vtols do you know if there are plans for traffic control by aircraft flight control system (AFCS) or what ever body, put in place for each vehicles in flight.

You can today create iOS shortcuts to open/unlock/lock or otherwise automate your Tesla through SIRI and these can be operated from your Apple Watch.

[@XOXSUSIEQXOX]

Kim, Many people do not understand that the “short stops on the freeway” are not a thing anymore and haven’t been a problem for years. Please, clarify what happened to you on the freeway. You’re making it sound like it stopped on the freeway and then someone wacked into the back of you.

[@ItsKimJava]

Was driving in traffic around 25 mph when the truck driver approaching from behind failed to see the slowing traffic and slammed into the back of our car at about twice the speed. He immediately admitted to be playing on his navigation screen and not seeing the slower traffic. The car immediately displayed some error messages and the HV battery shut down, likely as a safety measure.

[@XOXSUSIEQXOX]

@ same exact thing happened to me and my model X on August 27! I’m considering bumping up to hardware 4, as well! I wish I had the option to swap out for a couple cyber cabs instead! :-)

[@cbhelo]

Thanks for great content! Did you get hit in Atlanta on 285 going Westbound top end? I saw a white Tesla rear ended looks like yours. I was wondering if the person had FSD engaged and it braked hard. I love FSD but find I often add some accelerator to stop it a bit closer to car in front to avoid hard braking that surprises people behind you. Anyway if insurance you probably shouldn’t say if that was the case but glad you are ok! I find y’all’s channel super helpful! Dec I will have had my Model Y for one year. Keep up excellent content!!!

[@ItsKimJava]

Thanks for the donation and the kind words. Ours is/was silver but does look white in certain lights as it’s matte wrapped. No phantom braking, just a guy who admitted to playing on his navigation and not noticing traffic slowing down ahead.

If you buy a rental Tesla-renters go fast over speed bumps cuz they don’t care. These cars are not driven carefully like an owner would do. Better to pay a little more for a Tesla from a one owner who cared for his car.

On Xiaomi, here are my questions 1) Have the brakes been remedied? 2) Is the nose panel really as soft as it looks? 3) How's the air suspension? 4) How's the self-driving? 5) Is it held back in any meaningful way when used outside of the Xiaomi product ecosystem? 6) Does the build quality feel on par with competitors? 7) Is the price a loss leader or is Its local retail price justified? 8) Which EV do you feel is the most direct competitor? 9) Trade relations aside, does it feel like it's ready to thrive in the American market?

🇦🇺 hertz dropping Tesla really sucks. Booked one in NZ, but they supplied a Polstar which was OK, but not a model Y!

[@michaelf.7172]

Rear ended? I hope you're okay. You look like you're okay. My old minivan was rear-ended while I was sitting still in traffic. (The other vehicle, the driver was looking down to get a cup of coffee, and slammed into us going full speed. Knocked my vehicle forward about 30 feet. Totaled both vehicles. I saw it coming, and tensed up, and the impact tore my shoulder muscle. So, that was a fun year of rotator cuff surgery, physical therapy and chiropractic.) I hope you're okay. You look okay. I agree about the 3-row SUV. I drove minivans for about 25 years. I really miss mine. Especially the side sliding doors! Why they don't just go ahead and make those an option on all passenger vehicles is beyond me. They are just so practical! At any rate, there are a lot of 3-row vehicles on the market. There are a lot of minivans. Well... several. At this point... I want a Tesla. So, I don't want to spend a lot of money on a vehicle that doesn't have Tesla's features, and their safety record. Unfortunately, the Model X is a little too gimmicky for me. Now... put minivan sliding doors on it instead of the falcon-wing doors, and I would think about it. I just want Tesla to go ahead and make a minivan. But, that probably won't be in my lifetime. (I'm getting old! Actually... I said that to my doctor recently, and he stopped me and said, "Whoa! Stop! There's no 'getting'. You're old." Thanks, Doc.) And, thank you for your content. I enjoy it very much. Keep it coming!

What I would like to see is when the car stops at stop signs it doesn't sit there forever before moving again. That's the most unnatural thing I can see now. And it would be nice if the car "Read the Road" and found the smoothest path like a human would. When I drive I avoid pot holes and bumpy roads and I move around within my lane to avoid things like that to make the drive smoother. The car will drive over anything and I mean anything while it remains dead nuts center of the lane.

For me, I have had a pre-order for a long time. I ordered a tri-motor with 500 miles of range for 79k. Cybertruck has the potential to get there but for now is very disappointing. I would say I am far from the only one. Heck I would pay 100k for a 500 mile dual motor. But do not put a battery in the bed.

You have to make the sh sound with the ow word added, and then me. I've driven all of the Tesla models and I find the seats to be very uncomfortable and the ride is horribly harsh. I also want to be coddled by my car. I find the minimalist interior with a lack of physical controls very offputting. I've driven thousands of miles in a Tesla and I love the car. Unless the upcoming Jupiter fixes at least the ride and seat comfort I'm going to have to go with another manufacturer.
