Looks like Model Y heat pumps are seizing en-masse in Russia as well. This is how it looks like:
(in the video they just count start attempts), video credit to some Russian Tesla owners group
When you take the compressor apart you see this
I tried to find a teradown of a working unit, but only can see the outsides of it by Munro. Anybody can link me to the inside views?
In case you cannot tell, these parts are NOT normal, it's the sign of some metal parts hard-rubbing against each other creating this sort of a wear pattern
To me this does not look particularly fixable via OTA.
This might also be fallout from the bad sensors workaround earlier
finding pictures of undamaged Tesla pumps proving to be hard.
Instead I was shown this video of a Honda unit that I was told looks almost exactly like a non-failed Tesla unit looks like (timestamp 4:55 in case it did not transfer)

This is on AP (NoA, really), 75 mph into a truck, no braking, no warnings of any kind.
The firmware is 2021.4.18.2, accident in June 2021.
radar-equipped car (but hw2.5 of course)
the truck was seen by both the radar and also could be clearly observed by the narrow camera from quite a distance away (pictures are spaced 1 second apart)
In fact it was when I reviewed the narrow cam video footage I saw there's a guy with a flashlight behind the truck (I hope they were not hurt and ran away as fast as they could after seeing Tesla not braking)
Holiday weekends are great for some fun are not they?
Worked with @rice_fry on the Tesla depth perception NN.
Remember that stuff in ?
Well, the cars actually have a depth perceiving net inside indeed. though unlike what's shown it's a lot lower res
A whopping 160x120 grid (so 1/8th of the native camera resolution) but hey those are actual 3D points in space. I don't know how to make a 3D video, so just visualizing "distance" as "brighter = closer" on the scale of 5 to 62 meters (the actual limit of the output):
Here's the corresponding time-synced video to better understand what you are looking at.
So in regards to the recent Chinese crash with video where AP exits roadway in sharp turns:
I long planned to do a demo of a similar condition but always forgot and I guess better late than never.
It's actually really easy to reproduce m.weibo.cn/status/4655186…
Find an (empty!) road with a sharp curve and point autopilot at it. For most safety ensure there's an extra space outside the curve so you can catch the car before it crashes into stuff and boom!
(this is 2021.4.18.3 btw)
Remember to always pay attention when on AP!
If you enable debug mode you see the car actually outputs various alerts before the eventual "take over we are giving up" (weird there was no diseng chime btw)
and it knows it cannot take the turn safely at those speeds, in fact it tries to lower speed but definitely not enough
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video must be good for a couple gazillions.
With all the debates about how suitable @Tesla cabin cam for driver monitoring, I will let you form your own opinion.
It does look like "full color" RGB based on the red elements
I was a bit surprised that in a city at night there's enough environment lighting to make DM seem very workable.
All these videos are full resolution, 36 fps as Tesla uses them.
