FSD Beta & Autopilot

Pure Vision Autopilot + FSD Beta 9.1 Drives from Los Angeles to San Francisco with 0 disengagements 📹
Great video from Whole Mars Catalog.

V9.2 patch notes 📷
This is what release notes should be, and not "minor bug fixes and improvements". Thank you, Elon, for tweeting the internal release notes.

FSD Beta v9.2 turn testing and acceleration analysis 📹
FSD Beta v9.2 got released last week, great commentary in this video by Chuck Cook.

What can the pillar cam see? 📹
There has been some chatting lately about the pillar cameras and what the car can see at the intersections. The video from the pillar cameras isn't recorded as part of Sentry or TeslaCam, but Greentheonly has published a few screenshots and videos of what the camera can see. Given the angle, the cars would need to peek a bit into the intersection to see the cars coming, what do you think?
 

Firmware and new cars

Trip planner SoC predictions getting better
For me, the SoC predictions were a bit too conservative; for others like Greentheonly, it's the other way around. It seems that they have gotten way more accurate in recent versions.

The Tesla Model S Plaid is the world’s fastest (and coolest) sedan 📹
A great in-depth review by Doug DeMuro. Go to 31:58 to see his reaction to the acceleration 😂 "It is nothing that I've ever driven, ever, ever!"

 

Batteries and Gigafactories

Tesla confirms that 100% of its scrapped batteries are recycled and 0% end up in landfills
A lot of people make arguments about how dirty EVs are because batteries and their chemicals end up in landfills. In Tesla's 2020 Impact Report, the company states that 100% of its scrapped batteries are recycled, and 0% end up in landfills. Great to see this!

💡 Tip of the week

You can shift between drive and reverse without pressing the brake as long as the car is going under 5 mph (8 km/h).

 

🤓 What the acronym

As a Tesla fan, I find myself sometimes having to remember what are all those acronyms, here is a list of the ones you can find in this issue.
  • EV - Electric Vehicle
  • FSD - Full Self-Driving
  • SoC - State of Charge
