yes it does because it's based on radar. If you are caught behind a slow vehicle going 30 while the passing lane is going 65, you'll have the same problem. You can go to other forums by doing a google search and seeing evidence of this. BMW is one I found. Tesla is the unique exception in...

because it is a limitation of radar and how it is used. And by the way, the "may not" is a "will not" but the only reason it says "may not" is because at around 35mph or less your car will react to a stationary vehicle. So my point is a car going about 35mph or greater difference from the...

here's a video from a mustang mach-e. Look you can see in the simplest possible scenario that the car does not even react to a stationary vehicle. As if it is completely invisible

read whatever vehicle manual you want. They all have this limitation. Straight from the toyota manual

This is a limitation because the radar that is used in vehicles is a very low resolution radar with almost no vertical resolution. This radar cannot distinguish between a stopped car, a highway overpass, or something on the side of the road. There are many other limitations. "Traffic-Aware...

It actually does not. You think it does because it slows down for a lead car which brings you into the slow moving traffic. I drove a 2021 toyota corolla with radar cruise a couple months ago and I know it does not see stopped traffic, but it was only once in a 500 mile drive that I encountered...

these are low quality radar and they are heavily filtering them to not have false positives from every stationary object on the side of the road So the only things seen by the radar are things that are going a similar speed as you. That's why the forward facing radar in nearly every ADAS...

the elegance is simply that it requires no installation. The tesla implementation is elegant enough

slightly also worth mentioning that 99% of cars (other than tesla) use radar for the blind spot monitoring so it is a good habit to still look back in the mirror and check for yourself. Theoretically the radar won't catch a car that is travelling at a significant speed difference from your own...

yes I have used comma.ai but I do not have a vehicle with a blind spot monitor it was in a toyota corolla and that is otherwise one of the best vehicles for comma.ai from a performance standpoint

blind spot is the area that your mirrors do not cover. if for example, a smart car or motorcycle was right up against you, it would not be in the blind spot but it would be within your relative direct line of sight when looking at the mirrors. So the point is the car does not exactly have...

the tesla device has native integration with the main screen It's not a stick on device. it works through the web browser which rivian does not even have It requires zero installation. It is just a device that the phone connects to and is tricked into thinking it is a car. Then the car...

Does rivian have texting integration? Having apple carplay as an option is better than not having it. Only not necessary in a tesla because they have text integration, but you can also buy a carplay device that works with tesla, since tesla allows you to have the web browser open while...

I guess my point is if you were to signal to change lanes and there is no car in your blindspot (but it's to the side of you in the blindspot of the front facing camera) you can have comma.ai change lanes into a smaller car

Rivian is built using android automotive. Others are switching to the same thing. If anything rivian has been behind at implementing default features of android automotive such as the google cast feature which has available for a long time before Rivian got it. Tesla is fundamentally different...

no matter where the charge port is, tesla's station design was correct for the time. It is the least intrusive design in a parking lot and the most cost effective with the short cables. Now that other evs charge at the tesla station or some vehicles tow, things might be different. In 5 years...

To me it also sounds like a way to defend putting the charge port in a location that is not like tesla did it. Backing into a charge space is the correct move and if you are going to put the port in the front, at least put it on the side that allows curbside charging Tesla has the only 100%...

People always say this but no one ever behaved this way with a gas vehicle. When we have fast charging and self driving, then I think it will go back to the old way again.

If you see a large charger (in OPs case a 30 stall) it would be a newer charger most likely. Not sure tesla built any V2s around LA larger than 24 stalls

go to the tesla.com/findus map and then select only superchargers. Toggle on and off the tesla exclusive ones and the supercharger sites appear to double. Click on many and you'll be suprised to learn at 1/3 of them are V3 Palm springs has an 8 stall NACS charger and then a 24 stall tesla...
