Yes you can - at least, you could when I made this video 3 years ago. But I’m pretty sure you still can unless Tesla have made changes that block that.

Interface is everything. Fonts could certainly have customisable sizes. Nags and alerts can be removed (as with 12.4 where the nag is gone provided you still keep looking at the road ahead and don't wear dark sunglasses :) Certainly the most important feature is safety, real-world intelligence and the ability of the car to work things out when needed. But, you are correct that interface and notifications are hugely important for us humans

Hi there Jeff. Thanks for sharing your 'take' on the month-long free trial. I think comments like yours are very valuable because the allow Tesla to see what the ordinary Tesla owner considers important in terms of irritations or limitations. Because, the one thing we know about Elon is that he is definitely responsive to user feedback. I think that the change from coding to AI-style video training is a sea-change for Tesla. Updates are coming more quickly. Edge cases and being identified and rectified. Driving is becoming smoother and very much more 'human' and where before I thought 'perfection' would be measured in years still to go, I now feel that we are looking at months instead of years before an acceptable level of safe, effective self driving is reached. Anyway, it is GREAT to be in our new condo; great to be scuba diving once again, and GREAT to be able to devote time now to my channel(s) and to more regular content I hope will be beneficial to those who have followed me for so many years. Stay well :)

Your mis associating data here. 50% of a larger proportion is better than 80% of a smaller one. While your statement is factually correct, it’s something that is often quoted by the media when hyping a storyline. Focus on the production numbers.. of which are much higher in the scenario you’ve quoted here. Example: would you rather sell 5,000 units and own 80% of a market or 25,000 units and own 50% of a market?

@@pauldesi - Spot on! That's exactly the point. What did someone once say? There's lies, then there's damned lies, then there's statistics :)

@@pauldesi Sales are down, stock is down, and huge lay-offs too. So many unsold vehicles that Tessla is offering incentives. Does that sound like a healthy *growing* company? Elmo is extracting $56B from this already struggling company. Can you sugar-coat that?

@@DerekDavis213 How many EVs have been sitting on legacy automaker's dealership lots over 100 days? tesla Model Y is the largest selling model worldwide and only behind pickup trucks in the US. Legacy automakers are building hybrid vehicles which they can charge a higher price for and these are eligible for the $7.5 tax rebate.

@@williamrogers1219 Legacy automakers are moving away from pure EVs, because demand for them is *dropping* . Hybrids are the way to go: Camry Hybrid gets 630 miles on a tank of gas, and then 5 minutes to refill the tank. Gas stations are everywhere. Tesla cannot compare to that! Camry also has higher build quality, a nicer interior, a full dashboard, and a Turn Signal Stalk. Tesla pales in comparison.

No - that is absolutely not the case. And Twitter (X) is very close to paying for itself as large numbers of advertisers have returned., The FUD about X is mostly generated by those who resent the fact that Elon has control of a platform with significantly greater levels of free speech than any of the other social media platforms. This naturally represents a threat to the mainstream media as well as to the rival platforms like FB, CZcams, TikTok etc so they will do and say anything to try to restore the "Old Twitter" which happily joined in the censorship attempts that existed previously. The world owes a great debt to Elon. He is not the devious, manipulative, power-hungry billionaire he is frequently made out to be, but rather, a man who hates unfairness and injustice and was prepared to spend $44 billion to help provide a space where news and relative truth can exist in a world of communication platforms that act as slaves to giant corporations, and to controlling govvenrments of all political stripes.

@@model3man I heard that Elan wants the big bucks now, because He wants to cash out before the crash out.

@@DerekDavis213 - I'm afraid you've been hearing from the wrong crowd :)

@@model3man Tesla market share is down, stock is down, sales are down, and most of their products are years behind schedule: FSD Robotaxi Semi truck Optimus bot Tessla faces Federal scrutiny, and the boss is widely disliked. 15k workers fired, along with entire Supercharger team. Horribly inept decisions by management.

@@DerekDavis213 - that summary I’m afraid is one viewed through the “ELON BAD!!” lens that Tesla opponents are desperate for us to believe! Each and every point you made can be completely debunked but there’s no point trying to change a mind so firmly made up. You clearly see the world through a different prism and that is your right! So let’s just agree to disagree - but I can tell you I’m not selling a single Tesla share and will wait patiently for history to show the wisdom of my decision :)

The goods news is that the updates are coming out with every-increasing speed, and the majority of testers who post to CZcams are excited by the rapid and significant improvements each update delivers, It is true that it isn't quite there yet, but there is confidence in Tesla and the FSD team that edge cases are rapidly being eliminated. At least you got to try it and see the potential. With the number accidents happening due to lack of driver alertness, a robust self driving system is going to save an enormous number of lives in the long term

For many people in the free trial, the results were unsatisfactory. I read that only *2* *percent* of people paid for FSD, after the 30 day trial. Just awful

There is a lot to "iron out" but the progress has been amazing, and the new AI-based training has inreased the speed of learning at a rate only possible because of the huge size of the fleet of "robot" vehicles traveling millions and ultimately billions of miles gathering data, and the massive computing power they have brought to bear on the neural network to facilitate accurate and rapid training - especially of the remaining edge cases that still require attention

@@model3man all true but here’s another old adage to consider.. just because you can doesn’t mean you always should… tech for techs sake isn’t always the right thing to consider. Example: I drove over 1,500 miles during my FSD Supervised trial… it expired a few days ago.. I just drove 300 miles on basic AP. And the drive with AP was far less annoying, with almost zero nags and far fewer annoyances. Which begs the question… does the world really need a self driving car or have we all been convinced we need this?

She doesn’t know any passwords

Oh trust me!! I’m feeling the pain! Every day. Am definitely getting it once I get the new Model 2 (or Q - or whatever they call it)

Yep - one more suggestion: just buy it…. Then ask for forgiveness - and grovel for the next few months after you’ve done the deed 😅

@@CozumelManI would do this, however I need her signature on the lease agreement 😂😂😂

@@sadamgrind - ​​⁠ - Bummer!! Actually, CozumelMan would definitely NOT do that LOL. But I AM allowed to use the $33,000 I got from selling Red Dragon to buy the upcoming Model2 or Q or whatever it’s called :) That will be our next Tesla adventure!

@@model3man I was kidding I also wouldn't do it :)

🤣🤣@@sadamgrind

You do understand that I strongly recommended against that -8 approach? I thought for a moment that you were thinking I was recommending that. Yes, the V shape (or smiley face) is most likely to give the most pleasing tonal balance :)

That’s easy. In the sound settings click on BALANCE. then drag the center ‘button’ down or up. Down mixes the sound to the rear speakers. Up moves all the sound to the front speakers.

Thanks what I meant was how do I listen to music in the front while my kids play games at the back. At the moment only one can use the sound. Can I split it?

⁠ Aaaahhh, got you! I don’t believe that’s possible at the moment because you’re looking at two different audio streams but only one player amplifier. If I find out differently I’ll let you know here.​@@angeliquemeyerdubruyn3080-

2M still waiting on the list and 10k sign up weekly 😮

I do agree many people who were in the reservation list will leave. But - many more will now add their names as more information comes out about the revolutionary features and design elements. So it could be a ‘wash’

Very nice quick summary of the highlights! I agree

EPIC! IM RETIRED 75 WAITING TO WIN SUPERLOTTO, hehe. Yes I’m working on getting one, selling my house in SoCal and moving to Arizona (probably). I plan on modifying the living room and dining room to create a drive in area for my CT and getaway Trailer. Now that I only have myself to please, I’m modifying my house to suit Me. My new house will be totally customized with little regard for "investment" value and as off grid as possible, my Kitchen will be the largest room in the house because I only need two modest bedrooms/office. Cheers from San Diego

I think that in time, you will be allowed to use it on European roads. It might take longer for it to be approved, but I believe it will happen

Welcome aboard!

Look into the Cybertruck technology, as you may appreciate why it’s designed that way. PT Cruiser and Aztec were designed to get attention, with no substance behind it.

What an ignorant comment.

It’s to be seen in. For inadequate small people.

Why?
