Issue 185 - Voxel 3D birdseye view

DIY

Refreshed Model S with stalks? 📷
Github's user @rawdigits doesn't dislike the yoke, but he doesn't like haptic controls so he embarked on the adventure of adding physical stalks to the car and document the process on Github. If you are in the same situation, take a look!

With the new structural pack, the top of the battery pack is the floor of the car and the seats are mounted directly on top of it and the chassis is lifted on top.

FSD

New voxel 3D birdseye view outputs 📷
A new NN in the car is now outputting a 3D birdseye. Maybe this can be used to simulate the 3D view when parking?

Tesla changes FSD’s unreleased features from ‘later this year' to ‘coming soon’
With the release of v10.2 and the extension of the FSD Beta tester program to folks who had a score of 100/100 and had driven 100+ by last Friday night, Tesla updated the FSD page and now it says 'Autosteer on City Streets' is 'coming soon'. Personally, I don't know if coming soon is sooner or later than later this year, what do you think?

Mobile App

New Charging Features in the Tesla app with 2021.36 📷
With the Tesla app 4.1 and firmware 2021.36 you can adjust the charge limit as well as schedule charger and departure from the app. Take a look at the menus.

Quick controls to the Tesla App widget coming soon 📷
A preview of the widget is in the tweet, according to Sawyer Merritt, the Tesla App will be adding quick controls to the iOS and Android widgets very soon.

Accessories

CCS to Tesla connector adapter 📷
It seems that Tesla Korea is about to start selling an adapter to connect the CCS combo to the Tesla connector. Since the Korean connector is the same as the one in North America, maybe Tesla sells it here in the future?
