Still Needs Some Improvement... 😒
I have never had FSD avoid a pothole
Hope you have the wheel protection plan !
That should buff out
I mean, it's been great for me, but I would've taken over before it hit it if not.
Man what kinda pothole was this and how fast?! 😳
Mine does wet spot avoidance
Holy heck that must’ve been one hell of a pothole!! 😳
Pretty sure it aims for them.
It seems that way
Wow, mine also hit a huge pothole but only slightly bent the wheel! Luckily, I had the tire and wheel protection package, so it only cost the $25 deductible instead of $530 for a new wheel.
It happened so fast. It was on the highway @ 75 mph on hurry profile at night.
It was on the highway @ 75 mph on hurry profile at night.
Yeah it was. I didn't see it because there was a truck in front of me that just plowed right through it ☹️ it was at night on the highway @ 75 mph
Absolutely loves to hit potholes and speed bumps at ramming speed.
Through Tesla?
Yep, the $12/month one.
It's not a miracle worker lol You might be expecting a little too much if you let it drive on these kinds of roads. I don't see anyway radar or even the cameras could discern potholes given the conditions of roads they just throw some asphalt in the hole which leaves a black circular spot which might be a pothole shadow or might be asphalt heck it's hard to tell with your own eyes.
How was your tire air pressure ? Cold temps at night hmm
Honestly complain to the city about that, FSD or not there should not be a pothole that can do this much damage to the wheel
I mean you can’t even expect a human driver to notice a pothole on the highway at those speeds at night. The governing body ought to fix that before more people start busting their wheels on that.
75mph into a pothole will do that. Some city’s should have a form for you to fill out and see if you can get reimbursed for the replacement wheel. I believe LA county has it. Take a picture of the said pothole. I hit a deep pothole that was filled with water about a year ago in my GTI. Fortunately, the wheel took no damage.
He hate to brag, but I rarely ever see potholes on any roads down here in Texas. My city repaves major streets every 10 years. Demand more from your city and state.
39 psi
Tesla reco is 42psi cold which is more like 44psi on the hwy. so possibly 5 psi less then reccomended. Not sure if it would have made a difference but ima go top off my tires right now !
Oof, that's unfortunate... also potholes on a highway are a public hazard :(
I'm pretty sure people forgot about the S after FSD....
Lol it’s funny how much faith these people are putting into a program that was created less then a decade ago
I hope for a day when this 'joke' is finally retired.
Ive hit many a potholes but havent bent mine 🤷♂️
Those performance model 3 are too low to the ground,but the rims are nice , I had to trade in my car. I had a 2024 performance model 3 , the underneath of my car will hit pretty much every speed bump, the car was just too low to the ground
Most people underestimate pothole damage. Don’t just change rim and tire, but rather have it inspected at a good shop. Alignment is out of whack now and needs to be done. Also, have the entire suspension checked thoroughly - parts like outer tie rods can bend from impact, their ball joints give up, rubber seals crack open and have road grime enter the greased joints, etc… oh and for the love of god, get rid of the stock Pirelli and get some Michelin which have more robust rubber. With low profile tires, you need constant radar in your eyes scanning the road for potholes.
It shows $16 a month for the wheel protection and $12 a month for the windshield coverage.
It's the other way around.
Yeah, in my city if you report it and let them know it causes damage to your vehicle they’ll send out a crew to look at it and if they determine it’s bad enough they’ll refund you the repair costs if you give them the bill. A friend of mine had almost 600 refunded to them.
Mine does....
If only a technology like LiDAR could map contours even when they don’t show up on a camera (like a pothole looking gray on a gray road)
Yuuuuuuup, I had to get my rim repaired and a new tire because FSD blew straight over a pothole I was too late to react to around a bend. This was the version just before 14 started coming out, sadly it doesn’t seem to be much better in that regard. Avoids actual objects well, but potholes are still a hazard unsolved.
Ugh I drilled on last week that blew out the side wall of my tire !! My rim didn’t get destroyed though like yours did luckily. I was going prob 35-40 on the one I hit but it still slammed hard !
In theory, they are forged wheels, right? It seems that the concept varies in the case of Tesla. Perhaps they are forged from sheet metal.
Omg my biggest fear on my Warps, that sucks! 😭 Would Teslas wheel plan cover damage this extensive? Is it even driveable to a service center?
No cure for lack of common sense my guy. Next time you demand fsd to spoon fed you ?
Mine does all the time. In fact, it’s really annoying because the highway I most frequently travel has a lot of cracks that FSD perceives as potholes so it’s swerving to avoid nothing.
Log the dashcam video of that moment and threaten to sue the city if they won't refund you the repair costs.
Fsd aims for potholes lol
😂 All of this is planned. Need new front tires + alignment. This just accelerated that decision.
Low profile tires suck
I used FSD for a whole day and quickly realized it would not work with out crazy traffic and potholes. Never used it afterwards and let the free trial expire.
It’s the same here in NC for some places but they will only pay if it’s a pothole that has been reported and not fixed . If they aren’t aware of it , they will not pay .
This is the reason I don’t turn it on in downtown area
I only have "Auto Pilot" and this is the #1 reason why I take over, to avoid pot holes...
Mine hits potholes all the time. 35mph, 50mph, doesn’t matter. I didn’t think there actually was any avoidance.
This is the way
I was instantly unsold FSD on it's first pothole.
I feel like it used to when v12 first came out. But then there has been some regression with the pothole avoidance.
I don't understand. Humans don't need lidar to see potholes and avoid them, we just know one when we see it. For a vision based system, this should also be possible, no?
Pothole pete I call it.
This is why I replaced my 20s on my m3p to 18s. I would slap 15s on that bitch if they could physically fit. The more tire the better.
It will avoid potholes if the cars in front do it.
FSD is great at hitting every pothole
The $16 a month for windshield starts in January (currently $12 for model 3/Y). The wheel protection cost is $16 a month if you have a model 3 performance.
The roads really need improvement 🤣 we shouldn't have to put up with roads full of potholes
Looks like you hit more than a pothole.
That’s why I wont use it.
FSD on my 2019 M3 seems to aim for the exact same pothole every day. I have to be vigilant to save my rims.
