Skeew owt!

Considering the lack of community consensus, as evidenced by the disparate ratings of my post, I request that it be nominated as a Post of Indistinction.

UAW fails again at Mercedes in AL: https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/alabama-mercedes-benz-workers-vote-against-joining-uaw-union/ The unionization campaign isn't going too smoothly. Note from the article that the vote wasn't close.

Chuck's ULT is easily fixable:

I want to preface my remarks that for what it's worth, I voted yes. But if the nos have it and Elon leaves, I won't cry. It was one thing when he was advocating for electric vehicles and Mars, but after COVID hit, his true libertarian side began to show. I don't blame him for being...

Tesla? 😉

Until you posted this, I thought I was imagining the same thing. Today, my car slowed down at a lower speed limit sign. There may be simple weighting factors that can be downloaded to the car via a hot fix patch

If somehow the real casualty figures were obtained, it would be difficult to separate out Hamas fighters casualties from those of adult civilians. The prewar estimate of the number of Hamas fighters was 30,000 to 40,000 and the IDF has claimed to have killed 10,000. Even these numbers are...

It's quoted on all the Tesla-hating sites on the internet. It must be true. /s

Could you locate the original source of this information? The link by Kourosh to Tesla on X does not produce that quote.

The Lexus cowcatcher grille is ugly. The BMW skeleton nostrils front is ugly. For that matter all conventional pickup trucks are ugly boxes. Did you expect the CT to look like a Ferrari and also be functional?

For those of you chatting with our Russian guest, keep in mind that rather than his motives being sinister, he may be here to learn personally how the war with Ukraine is really going. Him posting here is certainly a lot easier than avoiding Russian internet censors and enforcers. That is until...

Elon 's use of the word is often confused with a similarly sounding word.

? Just drive the Tesla manually. It will hit any object that you want to hit.

WTF seems to be a quiet a popular phrase these days.

Hah, it's ULT.

You're almost right. There's no need for those 500 people in the SC team. Eventually, Tesla will hire new people to replace those that were fired. And they will have entry level salaries. I've run across managers like Elon before. They demand x percent layoffs and when a unit head complains, the...

I drove the same route again under the same traffic and weather conditions. This time the unsigned intersections were handled correctly, as was the roundabout. However on a 55 mph rural highway, FSD decided that every few miles the speed limit was 35 mph, despite there being no signs to that...

12.3.6 may be a point release for parking, but it's messed up other behaviors for me. After weeks of disengagement-free drives, today's trip left me puzzled. On leaving my house, there are three intersections without either stop or yield signs. In the past, FSD would pause, creep a bit and turn...

I'll see your AMD and raise you Nvidia.

For only $99, you too can have the experience of a lifetime... FSD for another month.😉

Although it makes sense to co-opt as much of an existing design as possible, I would think that the weight and passenger capacity of the robotaxi would dictate which existing Tesla model would serve as the template for the robotaxi. If the robotaxi is a smaller wheelbase vehicle, then it would...

Elon seems convinced that the only way to make a robotaxi profitable is to use creative manufacturing methods to reduce the cost of each unit. The present approach used by Waymo and others is to build a handcrafted robotaxi using an existing vehicle outfitted with a diverse array of sensors...

I went into service mode to see if I could figure anything out and sure enough, there was a warning that the disk was low on storage. That must be the bug, that the firmware thinks that the SSD is either full or nearly full. See what yours says in service mode. I looked at the SSD on my PC and...

I'm not clear as to what you are saying no to. If not "finding" the drive was solely a software bug, more Tesla owners would be complaining about it. I opt for an explanation that the issue is a combination of a software bug and certain factors, including not only the condition of the drive...

I'm wondering whether sales could be improved by a targeted marketing campaign. What I don't mean is Tesla using traditional advertising channels. What I'm thinking is for Tesla to create an program that would target first time EV buyers of its lower priced 3 and Y models. First Tesla would...

The Musk account must be a bot based on the Magic 8 Ball.

I had that happen, but I switched removable drives, reformatted the replacement using that car's UI and Dashcam has been working for a week so far. The interesting thing is that when I loaded the original drive on my PC, it was perfectly fine and had saved ten videos from Sentry Mode.🤔

I wasn't trying to critique your example. I was trying to understand how Tesla would charge for unsupervised FSD.

That's a provocative post. Assuming the the single car liability insurance offered by Tesla is $1200 per year or $100/month. What you are saying is that the incremental insurance charge for unsupervised FSD is $299-99 or $200/month. What you are saying in essence is that FSD unsupervised has...

More like Jesus found Mike.

By Waymo's own statements, they have 250 driverless cars in SF, of which approximately 100 are on the road at any given time. In contrast, the average number of ride share vehicles on the streets in SF is 5,700 with a peak exceeding 6,500. There also hundreds of traditional taxis.

Basically, when navigation reaches the destination, FSD should be manually disengaged. I'd have to go out the car and check it, but if FSD is enabled and you hit "end trip" (Why you would do so is a mystery) then FSD proceeds without navigation guidance. It will continue straight until it...

I will predict that Teslas's robotaxis in the Vega Loop will have an incredibly impressive low failure rate per mile. Eh, so what?

If you're going to continue compare Waymo to FSD, then you should standardize both datasets. Waymo operates in extremely limited geographic areas of the US and not on highways (except for testing purposes). FSD operates over the entire road network of the US and Canada.

This so-called attack by Iran was designed only to test Israel's defenses and provide information on how to conduct future attacks more effectively. Secondarily, it was designed to appease hardliners in the Iranian government and military.

Those were missile fired from Yemen by the Houthis, who control the western portion and shore of the country.

Stop stating this as a universal fact. Waymo is Level 4 in extremely limited geographic areas and does not use highways. When Waymo covers an entire political jurisdiction like the US, then it can be considered as SAE Level 4.

Aerial photography overlay set with the earth icon on the navigation map.

This worked for me, but it could have been just luck. Add a favorite location at the end of your driveway and call it (duh😄) driveway. Clear Home and then set Home to driveway. It helps to have the map set to orthoimagery, so you can place the point more accurately.

I'm not saying that the release of 12.4 is imminent, but the availability of the April free FSD trial could influence when 12.4 is released. The free trial could just easily prevent a 12.4 release as it could cause it to be released.

If an additional camera is built into each headlight assembly and facing perpendicular to the driving direction, it should be possible to keep them clear without wipers.

Nah. Tesla doesn't put cameras in the front because it would add to much cost to each car, despite the fact that FSD would be much more aware of crosstraffic.

The Cybertaxi will initially launch in fashion that is similar to the way that the Semi was launched. It will be manually assembled in small quantities and the first wave of production will be sent into service on the Vegas loop. It will seat four adults + luggage. It will have the ability like...

I think that Elon's response to the article is not only funny but true.

You left out the main reason that I personally disengage. The navigation isn't always IMO, the best route. Tesla really needs to allow both dragging route nodes and saving a route as a favorite. The kluge of adding intermediate stops to a route too cumbersome to use.

Unless one has a "lab grade"<( tire pressure meter, one is comparing pressure sensors of unknown accuracy. And that's not factoring in the tire temperature and possibly even air temperature. As @RSpanner stated above, a few pounds here and there isn't going to matter. One of my other cars is a...

Using the SAE levels for behavior that isn't everywhere all the time within a national jurisdiction is disingenuous and misleading.

The beatings will continue until the Fed lowers interest rates.
