First OpenPilot Drive

    1. Reboot your EON before turning your car on for good measure
  3. Turn your car on and verify that the Panda LEDs are pulsing red/blue/purple. If they are green, your panda is not flashed, see flashing instructions here Panda Flashing.
  4. OpenPilot should switch to "drive mode" and show the camera view with white lane marking
  5. Make sure that your EON is connected to the Internet or Calibration will not start
  6. Read up and understand the controls from Using adaptive cruise control


IF YOUR CAR IS RECOGNIZED:

  1. Calibration will increment at above 15mph. It will take less than 30 seconds to fully calibrate. If you move the mount, it's recommended to reset camera calibration under "device settings".
  2. When driving, Double Pull the Cruise Control Stalk to use OpenPilot

IF YOUR CAR IS NOT RECOGNIZED

  1. Ask for help on the #tesla channel of the Comma.ai Discord
