Not my favorite color, but took a pic anyway - at the shop where I get my tire/wheels swapped. The S still looks great after all these years 👍

Just getting my summer rims back on.

I have no idea why people call the Model S "Generic looking". Nothing generic looking here

OK, here's the real story. Tesla is replacing 4 million FSD computers on older Tesla's going back to 2016 that were promised Full self driving, and paid a lot of money the option. The caveat is you had to have bought FSD. You have to be careful about the garbage click bait stuff being published

I realize this is potentially a really stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. With a lot of other auto manufacturers moving to Tesla's charging standard and therefore changing their "port", this allows those cars to use Tesla super chargers (and my understanding is WITHOUT an adapter). If this is in fact the case, I assume* that to mean that I could use my Tesla charger at my house to charge that same non-Tesla EV. Is that correct or is there some limitation?

I'm pretty sure that if an automaker added a NACS connector you would be able to use a Tesla home charger without the adapter. But so far, I haven't seen any manufactures add a NACS yet.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, BTW

Ioniq 5 has a native NACS port starting with the 2025 model year. And yes you can use your Tesla-branded wall charger with it.

So I got access to my relative's car and took these pictures.

So Hardware 3 has all the 3 modes you mentioned. I forgot to get a picture of the FSD version though.

Got it 👍He would be on some version of FSD v12, its gotten some features from v13. Unfortunately, they have been passing up my Model Y on FSD trials, so the last trial I had was last year
