        Yep, & the response will be the re-invigoration of the piracy & hardware hacking scene.

        They almost killed it when they realised the convenience of subscriptions that just work was a better option than piracy & subverting protections but the pendulum has swung too far. The convenience & low cost of subscription services is fading away under service duplication & over-aggressive monetisation.

    Gave it a try on my drive home on the Newcastle-Sydney M1. I don't use regular Autopilot and EAP didn't change my mind, the lane changing was too slow for my taste, plus it seems like it nagged me to wiggle the steering wheel a lot more often. Its so funny how the tech heads who were never into cars before buying their Tesla rave about the software/autonomous driving tech being the killer feature, whereas I think its the weakest part of the car.

    Its literally built as a sports car underneath - 5 link rear suspension, double wishbones at the front, lots of aluminium suspension components and body panels, plus the industry leading electric drivetrain lets it mix with the best from Bavaria and Ingolstadt, yet they think the middling lane keep assist, lame software controls and big screen are the best features?

    Get out and have some fun with it, I've had a much better time actually driving it than messing around with its 'tech'.

    • gavincato on 24/12/2022 - 06:58

      Yeah I found the wiggle nags so frequent I think I'd rather save 5k and just turn the car myself into the next lane.

      If the software would overtake cars / take exits / change lanes without constant wiggling of steering wheel I'd buy it, but not as it is.

      It should do this on freeways where the car can be confident it is safe, and ask for wiggles on slower / more built up roads.

      • Dogsrule on 24/12/2022 - 07:54

        Yeah agreed, as it stands I think it actually adds stress to the driver. I honestly don’t think Tesla’s have the hardware to do useful autonomous driving yet. Gonna have to upgrade the camera package and put that radar back in Elon.

      Just buy a steering wheel weight off Amazon. No more wheel waggling.
      I do about 1500km a week about 90% highway kms in my model 3. Best thing I've bought for it I reckon.
      If you're bulk highway driving, autopilot is a game changer compared to a car without it. Such a more relaxing way to travel. You don't realise how much more tiring driving a car without it is over a 3 - 5 hour drive having to do all the micro adjustments you do constantly.

      • Dogsrule on 24/12/2022 - 20:44

        I've thought about it, but there are aspects of Autopilot I don't like other than the steering nag. I have developed a habit of keeping close to the shoulder line due to trucks wandering over the centre line while I'm passing them, but Autopilot keeps the vehicle right in the centre of the lane which is too close to the trucks for my taste.

    This is slightly off topic, but related. I know this is a software upgrade, but I’m totally against the subscribe to upgrade business model car makers are dabbling with. It is not going to end up well. Paying to access things your car is capable of doing from the factory is BS. It costs the car companies more to spec a car that has all the technology that you can sub to. You’ll end up paying for the tech in the your car whether you want it or not. Like buying an Audi that has built in seat warmers that you are required to sub to access. You own a car that has the tech so you should be able to use it. What’s next subscribing to access airbags, a sunroof or climate control? BMW used to charge $479 to access Apple CarPlay for just 3 years!

    • SBOB on 23/12/2022 - 23:41

      Not necessarily if it means they can effectively have a single production line/sku and just enable things via software as requested.
      Lack of variation in production likely results in increased efficiency

      • ilikeit on 24/12/2022 - 07:11

        I was going to mention that, but realised they will still have multiple production lines to cater for exterior, interior and engine differences.

        A consumer is still going to pay for that seat warmer that is built into their car that they will never subscribe too.

      Tesla sometimes does this after you have traded it in to them to make it easier for them to resell. But privately it stays with the car.
      There was a case I remember when a car had options which were never paid for which changed hands before Tesla fixed the mistake, think it lead to a court case.

I have been interested about the Polestar 2 and wondering if I should book a test drive, I barley drive cars - only to head office, around my surrounding suburbs and to the airport. I am wondering if I can use a Polestar 2 with Tesla chargers as I recently saw one here at the Qantas VP here at Melbourne airport.

    • od810 on 24/12/2022 - 10:59

      City and short distance driving are the perfect driving scenarios for EV. You do 40-80km per day, you charge the car off peak at home. And yes tesla home charger works with polestar 2. The super charger network is exclusive to tesla.

      • bluey47 on 24/12/2022 - 11:09

        Maybe a little conservative. If you only do 40-80ks a day you can just plug into a standard 10amp socket anywhere.
        Evs are good for 200ks a day with a charger at home to fill back up overnight.

    I've got the Full Self Driving package which, for now, only means enhanced autopilot in Australia and I use it EVERYWHERE.

    A few weeks ago I went up the coast on a trip for an hour and a half. I probably only drove for 1% of the journey there and back. I am a tech and have been working with Machine Learning for years, so I know what is going on behind the scenes, and this still blows my mind.

    The world is not ready for what is going to hit it in a few years. There will be people on this forum crying about it, but in the end, you will LOVE it. When you have a friend who has a Tesla and the FSD package is here in Australia, get them to show you. You will be as amazed as I am.

    Until the FSD package is released as no longer Beta software, it will remain a Driver Assistance feature. Slowly but surely it will get to the point where you will not need to intervene. This is already happening to people in the US.

    I'm talking about getting in your car and your car driving you to your destination with no human interaction needed.

    For now, it's just Enhanced Autopilot :(

      Slowly but surely it will get to the point where you will not need to intervene. This is already happening to people in the US.

      considering Tesla does not disclose or report on driver disengagement events, I think we are still some way from reliable, non-intervention required driving. Honestly think there should be legislation requiring all aspects of autonomous vehicle operations being reported, from all manufacturers.

      What openly reported 'limited' data sets are available, are not 'favourable' with regards to the 'distance per disengagement' rate

    So much hate in here, yeh Elon rubs a lot the wrong way, and autopilot isn't the best name. Its just a smart cruise control, and i'm sure plenty of others have it now.

    If a tesla kills a kid, you'll definitely hear about it, but in the same situation with any other distracted driver will probably end up being the same if not more.
    i.e. 100% crash if distracted in normal car, 50% crash if distracted in one of these more advanced cars?

    I guess an argument is whether u'r likely to be "more" distracted with these systems than not, but i think anything to help "assist" the driver is a benefit, otherwise we wouldn't have abs, traction control, aeb, seatbelt warnings etc..

        Dumb ?

        So spending 10 - 20 hours a week in a car is smart ?

        I suppose if you drive 10 hours a day thats not dumb thats by your comment super smart ?

        No the dumb thing is thinking a car is necessary and wasting hours in a car every day is a life necessity.

        People shouldnt be demanding more transport, they should be demanding less commuting and less transport solutions.

      Why would anybody pay $5K to sit in front of the steering wheel ready to grab it ?

      Agreed, plenty of Elon's knob jockies are wet for this idea. These features shouldn't be pay-walled.

      Then again if you are driving that much that you think you need any sort of self driving then you have already lost.

      Wtf? You don't use any automation? No automatic transmission, power windows, power steering, abs breaks?
      I guess you hand wash your dishes and clothes as well lol

      Every minute or hour or half day you spend driving already makes you a loser.

      Cruise control is life changing for long drives to far away relatives, holidays within the state, etc.
      Just shouldn't be behind a paywall.

        So why not live in a place you actually like with friends and family instead away from all that ?

        Dont tell me job, because there are plenty of people living out of the big smoke doing far better than city people.

        Power windows has nothing to do with auto pilot. stop being an extremist and merging things or ideas that are completely different from the intended spirit of my comment.

          Because some people have multiple groups of friends who live in different parts of the state, maybe divorced parents who they need to visit separately at different sides of the state, etc.

          Auto pilot is an evolution of cruise control. It automates part of the driving process, also like automatic transmission (no need to change gears yourself), ABS breaks (no need to pump the break up and down rapidly to avoid wheels locking) etc.

            Im not stupid i know people move ab out the country and state. Im questioning the wisdom and practicality of doing so.

            Is it smart or good that divorced parents move so far from each other that it takes inter-state drive to visit ?

            Of course not, thats the height of selfishness and so many other negative terms.

            If you still have to watch the wheel just in case, then its not auto pilot is no different than being a regular drive in an old non autopilot car.

            Auto pilot or self driving means you can goto sleep in the back seat and not watch the car at all, its all or nothing. Stop pretending otherwise.

    I'm happy to have received this for free, just in time for my drive back to Melbourne from Gladstone QLD in a couple of days time. Timing couldn't be better.
    Used it today for a 200km drive and it didnt add enough for me to pay 5k for it which I've never considered anyways as base autopilot is more than good enough for me, but auto lane change worked fine after I mucked around with the settings, but it's not too hard to indicate and change yourself anyways.
    Used summon to move the car up the road while I helped mow and whippersnip the sisters house so no rocks would hit it. Again worked fine but not hard to jump in and drive it yourself. Still amazes me it's even possible to do though.

    Power boost upgrade for the LR on the other hand…must buy. Acceleration goes from real fast to crazy fast. 4.4sec to 3.9sec to 100kmh. Never been in a performance model but that 3.1 to 100kmh must be brutal.

    For my new Model Y dropped a cool $10,000 on the FSD. it's definitely no Ozbargain especially for Australia short version is its "Very advanced cruise control" think enhanced makes Auto pilot for hwy and fwy driving more complete and nice to use explained below. Proper and complete no stress let the robot drive from home to work is years away.

    Wild conspiracy theory though this trial could be in preparation for a FSD beta to be dropped soon get more people to sign up??

    Long version

    We dont even have the FSD beta here but that looks like your baby sitting a learner driver in its driving ability especially when used on local or city streets from videos seen online just a North America Access thing for now.

    On freeway and hwy at least in WA FSD non beta it's awsome the auto lane change with Mad Max settings are excellent worth it if you do a lot of freeway hwy driving IMO.

    Auto park have used quite a few times more than I thought I would it just works needs clear parking bay markings but pretty good. Takes 30 - 45 seconds I could park it in half the time but it's nice to have.

    Red Light recognition is good and works very well though a double edge sword stops for reds stops signs but you have to now acknowledge the greens which is annoying. Where before if your too cheap to spring for Enhanced or FSD Tesla would just allow vehicle to punch thru green or red if on auto pilot if you not following someone.

    Some not so good things

    I have tested navigate on auto pilot this works kind of, some on and off ramps especially the ones that have the cycle lane to cross with two solid white lines this hardley works properly for me. So out of habit don't use the on ramp function. Normally just get on fwy and hwy then activate it then let it do its thing and take the off ramp.

    Traffic intersections can sometime get lost if lane markings are not clear or lots of them or faded it will try to take middle of the road and also can leave merging to the last second with some semi hard breaking because Perth drivers hate to let you in to merge for a human so the Tesla AI having hard time most of the time so auto pilot is mostly used hwy and Fwy.

    On semi main roads with auto pilot left hand side road position left lane your are in the middle of the lane but means driving over every storm water drain would be nice to have a offset that you could change few CM to the right would solve the problem.

    Auto summon is a gimmick used it few times but you would need more guts than me to try in a busy carpark mine tried to leave the carpark and go onto local road so…

    Above is my experience to me its been worth it to me others might not see the value, might be a bargain down the road if FSD works and they jack the price later on.

    Salute to this great hall of debate about A.I.

    Check out how bad Tesla's self parking is, compared to the competition

      The massive difference is it can get better with merely an off the air software update. The other's are as good as they are ever going to get

    Thanks OP, got this yesterday and filmed a video of my dog driving using summon. Probably never use it again now.
