Excellent, thanks

I thought that recommended practice is to drive immediately after reaching 100% to avoid damage by leaving the cells at maximum voltage. Waiting 2-3 hours runs contrary to the deep concern of letting the battery sit at 100% for any length of time. Just by doing this recalibration and cell balancing might it not at the same time reduce full capacity distance?

Tesla’s (especially model 3’s) are very aerodynamically unstable at speed. The center of pressure is forward of the weight distribution which is naturally unstable. When optimizing a car for low drag, this is what happens. I will not say how I know this about tesla’s specifically, but i’m a vehicle dynamics engineer in the automotive industry.

I'm in the process of replacing my 2019 Model 3 with a new Model 3 (perhaps the Performance version), and I live in the Netherlands. What would your bet be? Will FSD arrive within the next five years in the EU? My current Model 3 has FSD, which I bought five years ago. Apparently, I lost that bet, and I would hate to spend the money again and lose again in the next five years....

Germany will deny Europe FSD to protect its own car industry. They don't care about reducing traffic accidents in Europe. They are cutting benefits for electric cars because they are losing money. Germany has long been a problem for humanity. They should lose their right to vote in the EU.

The autopilot is totally retarded on German streets 😢 a complete downgrade from my Skoda Octavia iV. Its ACC was insanely good.

Confirmation of compound movements are allowed. For example you could confirm the complete roundabout movement including the exit before entering the roundabout. Disengagement by too much torque on the steering wheel is just a Tesla issue. Other manufactures have detection by capacitive coupling without this problem. Similarly the car would propose how to navigate an intersection before coming up to it. All you do is confirm the compound movement. It could work just fine. I think Tesla may be a little cry baby here or maybe making excuses. The real problem is probably the test procedures that they have to come up with and then pass.

4:53 I have been reading the document 2024-01/GRVA-18-07r2e.pdf and I disagree with the statement that every manoeuvre has to be driver confirmed. That is nowhere in that document. It is even in your slide right on the screen with the (c) option. Instead different implementations can have different capabilities and one of those capability is the option to have system initiated manoeuvres. Yes including taking turns without confirmation. They do however have the section describing the requirements for this empty (section 5.3.7.2.4 "General requirements for system-initiated manoeuvres"). I interpret this as that they are not yet done specifying the requirements and that you may be right in that such a system could not yet gain approval. But it will come. It is also a bit open ended what a manoeuvre is. I would interpret it as taking actions other than following the straight route. It will still stop at red lights, following the road curves, avoid parked cars and pedestrians and so on. It just wont follow the navigation route or leave the lane to go around an obstruktion. While not following the navigation route seems silly, I am actually ok with getting confirmation before going into the oncoming lane to go around obstructions. The USA version of FSD can sometimes do some crazy things.

Thank you for the great video. One question please, after.slow charge to 100%, do we remove the charger from the port and let’s it test for 3hr. Or, we leave the charger in the port and let’s it rest for 3hr? Thank you so much,

Excellent video

They should just make it a downloadable, so EU could load it manually. Then Tesla wouldn't be liable, just like MS isn't liable for piracy. This would force EU, and would provide valuable fsd data.

Have you got any idea what is in the V3 superchargers nowadays? My vehicle (Maxus EV80) will charge at V1, V2 and some V3 superchargers. I can charge at SC Leusden and Hengelo, but Wolvega, Drachten and Bunnik didn't work. Luckily at Drachten and Bunnik there were also some V2 chargers, so I was able to charge.

I think you will enjoy Whole Mars Catalog videos released yesterday 9 May 2024 making crystal clear how embarrassingly limited a highly-rated driving assistance system from a well-known manufacturer is to Tesla, in USA where their hands are not bound by DCAS regulations.

Desperately disappointing turn of events. Perhaps sooner rather than later our regulators will see the light. Thanks as ever, Steven, for your excellent report. We'd be lost without you!

So, FSD with a lot of limitations that might be impossible to implement in FSD which has been trained by AI. EU = failed.

Comparing the taycan to a tesla should be a crime, it is an insult to porsche

This is not really smart charging, but standard AC charging with simple communication via PWM. Actual smart charging is in ISO 15118, which can also be used over AC. It is a much more sophisticated protocol.

Is this the same procedure with an LFP battery?

Excellent video and confirms my experiences. I have a 2022 MYLR with fsd capability and have driven all over the UK, Europe and Scandinavia. Sadly as you observe NOAP is far less useful than it was 2 years ago!

To bad Europe is not allowing FSD /autopilot.

5 damn years of this. Damn the Germans.

Thank you very much for the update and the good news regarding the new draft. Steven as we would say here in Dublin Ireland “you're some man for one man” :) Regards Séamus

A drawing would have been useful

Out of curiosity, is there any bemefit to pre-condition the battery when charging at 11kw? I know its typically recommended for DC fast charging and not mentioned for fast AC charging.

It shows how unoractical this steer in such kind of situations. Circle steerin is better

At least you don't have to worry about it killing you.

Thanks for summarizing all the important parts. Personally, I can’t wait for the day that they remove the steering wheel, the gas panel, and the brakes from the cars. It will reduce the number of accidents enormously. Just imagine that all grandpa’s who really shouldn’t be driving anymore and all young people that think that they can make that corner and all people that are just too tired or to drunk or to high, they can all be driven home safely without accidentally killing someone else. This technology is really the best thing that can happen to humanity. I was just reading up on Airbags, patent in 1968 first experimental fleet in 1973. It took up till the 1990’s before airbags found their way into most cars. Technology is fast Politics are not.

Thanks for the video, I am in doubt about buying a Tesla with auto pilot (FSD) but I live in The Netherlands. For me the auto pilot would be the functionality that would make me buy a Tesla. But if it doesn't give me any improvements over the normal cars 'Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford' then well.... I do hope that you can do another video when the newer version is released in Europe.

Such a big roller-coaster...

In Europe you have to prove, that your app is working.

I hate the EU

Comparing Tesla Model S Plaid with track pack with Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach is like comparing a VW GTi "edition” with a Renault Megane RS Trophy. They are completely different cars which serve different purposes. Taycan Turbo S would be a more fair comparison to the plaid. Would be curious to see how that would be around the ring.

Maybe things will change when FSD works autonomous in NA.

thanks for the (even thjough a bit disapointing) update. If I understand it correctly those regulations are for assistance systems (Level 2) and as long as FSD is just a Level 2 System, Tesla would have to apply them. If FSD would not be supervised anymore, but Level 3 or more ( like the robotaxi), those barriers for EU regulations would be different. Is this right? So maybe we in the EU just need to wait until FSD reaches this level?

Tesla, just put an "approve" button under the driver's seat
