Those have FSD are probably already aware. There's some speculation as to whether or not this was a planned feature and they got busted or an actual mistake. In either case stuff like this makes me glad I didn't get it, autopilot works great and that's all I really need.

Why do they need to be recalled vs a software update?

Of course, not having one I am not sure how all that works.

Right, I don't think anyone has to actually bring them in from what I've seen. It's just a switch associated with the car.

The NHTSA used the term "recall", but that's pretty antiquated, it's really a fix since it'll be OTA, recall sort of implies taking the vehicle to a service location, but this is a case of tomato / toe-mah-to ...

It's surprising how many cars do not upgrade their OS OTA. I drove BMWs for years and if you ever wanted to upgrade the computer you needed a new car. Tesla has completely shifted that and brought a car into the modern day.

A recall is a recall. It is term that means something needs to be rectified and has no bearing on how the update is done / fixed, whether it's via an OTA, or a dealer visit. Both of my Mercs had a "recall" last year. We got the official letter, which stated that we don't need to do anything, apart from park the cars with mobile phone coverage (i.e. out of a garage) for a few hours.

OTA updates to add new features are not the same thing as official recalls. Tesla agrees that this is a recall, as per the link I included above, which has links to the official recall notice.

Lol the report has the firmware version wrong.

Just fork over $14,000 for the new auto-driving package, and it fixes this. Elon didn’t get rich by NOT ripping people off.

FSD Beta 10.10 released:


Release notes:
  • Smoother fork maneuvers and turn-lane selection using high fidelity trajectory primitives.
  • Disabled rolling-stop functionality in all FSD Profiles. This behavior used to allow the vehicle to roll through all-way-stop intersections, but only when several conditions were met, including: vehicle speed less than 5.6 mph, no relevant objects/pedestrians/bicyclists detected, sufficient visibility and all entering roads at the intersection have speed limits below 30 mph
  • Improved generalized static object network by 4% using improved ground truth trajectories.
  • Improved smoothness when stopping for crossing objects at intersections by modeling soft and hard constrains to better represent urgency of the slowdown.
  • Enabled lane changing into an oncoming lane to maneuver around static obstacles, when safe to do so.
  • Improved smoothness for merge handling by enforcing more consistency with previous cycle’s speed control decisions.
  • Improved handling of flashing red light traffic controls by adding more caution for events where crossing vehicles may not stop.
  • Improved right of way understanding at intersections with better modelling of intersection extents.


The obsession with this NHTSA action being called X vs. Y is f***ing hysterical :ROFLMAO:

Yes, it is. The only people obsessed over it are the weird Musk fanboys who get upset over any news site that calls it a recall, when it is factually a recall. This is hysterical and weird. Almost cult like.

Actually the anti-Tesla people are just as silly, which was my complete X vs. Y point. :)

I respect Elon but as long as he constantly makes bombastic political statements on Twitter he's asking to be a lightning rod.

Hahaha, oh sure, and by anti-Tesla, I don't mean being critical of Tesla (don't get me started on the Yoke ...), just like I don't consider someone who's positive about something Tesla related to be a "fanboy" (man do I hate that fucking word ...)

There's a group of people, I mean, they post so much I know them by name, that skulk around waiting to pounce on anything Tesla related ...
