https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_au/GUID-20F2262F-CDF6-408E-A752-2AD9B0CC2FD6.html Autopilot Features This topic describes how to enable and use the following driver assistance features. Traffic-Aware Cruise Control: Like traditional cruise control, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control maintains a set driving speed. However, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control also slows down or accelerates Model 3 as needed to maintain the following distance from the vehicle in front of you. While Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is engaged, you are still responsible for steering Model 3 (see Traffic-Aware Cruise Control). Autosteer: Like Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, Autosteer maintains a set speed (if there is not a vehicle in front of you) or a set following distance (if there is a vehicle in front of you). In addition, Autosteer detects lane markings, road edges, and the presence of vehicles and objects to intelligently keep Model 3 in its driving lane (see Autosteer). Note Autosteer is a BETA feature. Auto Lane Change: When you engage a turn signal while Autosteer is active, Auto Lane Change moves Model 3 into the adjacent lane in the direction indicated by the turn signal (see Auto Lane Change). Navigate on Autopilot: Navigate on Autopilot builds on the features of Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer. While Autosteer is active, Navigate on Autopilot allows Model 3 to suggest and, if configured, automatically change lanes to pass other vehicles and follow the navigation route (see Navigate on Autopilot). Note Navigate on Autopilot is a BETA feature. Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer use information from the cameras on Model 3 to detect lane markings, road edges, and other vehicles and road users around Model 3. CAUTION Before using Autopilot features, ensure that all cameras are clean and free of obstructions (see Cleaning a Camera). Dirty cameras and sensors (if equipped), as well as environmental conditions such as rain and faded lane markings, affect Autopilot performance. CAUTION It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the limitations of Autopilot and the situations in which driver intervention may be needed. For more information, see Limitations and Warnings.

I sent a story to Josh and Docc about a motorcyclists speeding and lane swapping and running into the back of a Tesla on a highway in Florida. The Model Y ramped up the speed at the last moments as the guy ran into the back glass of the car. The driver came to a controlled stop and the motorcycle (probably uninsured) rider jumped out hurt but alive and got onto the back of his buddies bike and initially ran from the seen. All of the same safety systems this thread has demonized in this case saved the guys life, most importantly the car seeing the motorcycle rider approaching at a much faster pace, so the Tesla accelerated to lessen the impact, before slowing back down, probably saving his life. The motorcycle was at fault so the safety technology of the Tesla in this case is seen as welcomed. "Lets not get wrapped around the axle" or stuck thinking that Tesla's are unsafe on a constant diatribe, because they aren't unsafe, period.

Well said Chuck, agree 💯

A lot of opinions expressed here, one question who on this thread has even driven a Tesla? My guess close to none. I have driven one for work just under 15k miles so far this year, my company didn’t buy the Auto pilot option up front but can be turned on for $199 a month. That said, my 23 Model Y uses cameras not proximity sensor’s like earlier models. It has audible alarms to alert if you get on the lines of the road, it’s over the top in knowing its surroundings at all times. To say it’s unsafe is unknowledgeable rubbish. Letting the car drive you down the road is not far off, but currently not perfected. Tesla’s are overall safer than standard cars.

Swoosh Dave I watch The Mighty Garage often, like yesterday...

Most of the West Coast riders probably already know about this event, but for the rest of us this is a cool custom bike show. THE BIKES! https://www.the1moto.com/

I will take two.

Another interesting spin on this philosophical debate....... KaleV11's 2001 V11 sport blew the original motor because the oil pick up assembly was loose and starved the motor. The FBF high compression piston motor that the late Mike Wells had built for me (I'm the previous owner). Anyways, after many years broken in his garage, Kale bought an 04 hydraulic EV motor from a salvage company and installed. Its hooked up to the original transmission, power commander, everything. He has rode it since, although it seems to have a little less HP.....

Interesting to note, there were quite a few track records broken this season by different teams (Ducati, BMW & Yamaha). "If you ain't cheating your not trying" method......

I wonder if any of the top tier race teams will drop off the pace after consistent fuel testing.

Jake could always seem to run off from everyone at the start of the race. Yes he is a great rider, but it does give doubt that his fuel has the "special race day mix."
