New autopilot updates are only pushed out after they've been run against simulated data (in house validation, "the gauntlet" corpus of scenarios) and then real world data (inertly) and perform significantly better than existing algorithms. https://youtu.be/2vHO1p9717s?t=8m45s
Presumably there are a ton of beta testers that put a 100,000 or so miles running this actively in a wide array of road driving scenarios before they roll this out to customers as well. Under beta testing scenarios, a single driver should be, even with time for charging, be able to do about 250 miles/day of driving - figure 10,000 miles/month. So, to get 100K of real-world road experience, would only take 10 drivers/…
Actually, I think they record all of the data all of the time anyway, so they can turn the sensor on and turn off the decisionmaking, and gather info using real-world data to see what the new version would have done.
It's like beta-testing without actually beta-testing.

#43> Cabin Overheat Protection I hope that besides cooling the car it includes a feature that pulls down some signs in the windows that says "no really the A/C is on and my kid/dog is fine, don't break the glass". I mean I'm kinda joking here but not really. This has been a problem for Prius owners for a long time (they can have a/c on manually when the car is off)
Definitely. The fact the some states allow people to break the glass on cars to rescue overheating animals under certain circumstances is good. The fact that people know that they are allowed to do this under some circumstances, but not all the requirements that make it okay is not good. I once left my dog in my car while I walked 150 feet across a single level parking lot into a building, spent 90 seconds inside, an…
If you were only going for a few minutes, why not bring your dog?

I get it loading the right page, then immediately redirecting to https://www.tesla.com/en_AU/software?redirect=no which is a 404.

The safest bet is just to wait for a couple of minutes, observe the animal for any changes. It's going to become really clear in that time if there's distress, or just... being a dog. Then, if you're still concerned call the police, and wait for them. If while waiting you become concerned for the dog's life, break the window.
that requires... thinking

If it can handle a year on a full charge, then unless your battery is below 2%, it'll last a week. And if it was below 2%, you probably wouldn't be able to make it home anyways.
The parent's point is that the circumstances would dictate how quickly the battery drains, so it wouldn't always last a year on full charge. (And therefore not always a week with > 2% charge.) That said, it's not trying to keep it chilly, just not deathly hot, so I expect it would still be fine.
Right, but it also shuts off at 20%, right? So it won't drain your battery anyways

Because walking into a hospital with a large dog is frowned upon.

Most (or at least many) establishments don't allow dogs

#49So a touchscreen meant you lose tactile feedback. We knew that already. But now all the buttons move around too?
Lack of touchscreen was a + point when deciding to buy my current car.
IMO, if the touchscreen serves as more than one button/action while driving, it's a broken design.
Even the BMW "wheel button" is a better one.
