OT OT OT pix of 8 vehicles in Broder debunking road trip w/drivers at Gude Drive, Rockville, Maryland, USA Service Center S85's could make the jump from Delaware rest area supercharger to New York city as S60's were not quite big enough @CatB

had an incident where it wanted to turn left into oncoming traffic instead of crossing over median then turning left, divided 4 lane highway. I did agressively take over and did the report

mime is chill

yeah, i don't like "auto max....." and inability to lower speed with scroll wheel, had me doing in the mid 50's on a 40 max divided median residential street. I'm also very familiar with I-64 both east and west of richmond, va

OT OT OT @DarkandStormy What if my life was a series of imagined crises that never happen, but paralyzed you into inaction? What if it isn't, and you keep moving forward, with ideas actualized that change the world for the better? 10.5 years example below, same driving force, expanding...

nope, won't turn into driveway, will keep tweaking

OT @GOVA https://fosstodon.org/@nafnlaus/111393852482543820 Karenrei (at least as of not that long ago

OT @Mengy perhaps there needs to be a thread where folks who generate electricity with renewables can post data points 'n such me $0.0268/kWh (as valued by utility what they pay for excess) Mods or whomever......

@jerry33 OT, I had a plug in Prius for a few years (Model 3 was not yet available) I suspect the PIP has 6 modules in it's battery, as I suddenly had a 16% step function decrease in range that never resolved, as if 1 module went "offline" 8.8kwh total so tiny tiny battery

The CPI for bulk, UTILITY based electricity is increasing <<=== As a _single_ data point, although I expect there are numerous others My local utility says my excess renewable generated electricity, _ZERO_ fuel costs is worth $0.0268/kwh (2.68 cents a kwh ! ) If I buy it back, multiply that by...

will try this today. (wife becoming a _tiny_ bit more comfortable with FSD(S))

Is there a trick to getting it to turn into your driveway when you select "navigate to home"

OT, perhaps way OT @Discoducky I have a question you may have insight into. I have been experimenting with FSD(Supervised) by randomly just 'bopping around the neighborhood' (lots of dead ends, 'n such, 400 miles canals so lots of turns) I turn on FSD(S) and cruise and it seems to take "the...

Is this correct? => Using the turn signal to influence a turn at an intersection has never been a feature I have read several times the last few pages and it seems some folks can essentially "steer" using turn signals alone I had mixed results with this just cruising about the neighborhood that...

tried wandering around the local neighborhoods and to local pharmacy. just pulled down stalk and started. 20mph mostly. vehicle just drove and randomly decided to do turns when at T intersections. held down turn signal to force turn at intersection. twice it ignored me, 4-5 times obeyed me...

So I can essentially navigate by using just "chill mode" and turn signals and just "bop around the neighborhood", then "hit nav to home" we have 400 miles of canals and lots of dead ends thanks for response

how do i do "mixed mode" 'SFSD and me' I just want to joy ride around nowhere special, no destination, bopping down the highway and "lets turn left at this T real soon Do I have to do a "navigate to ______"? SFSD turns on if i flick the stalk going nowhere in particular, no destination

OT an ?off topic? observation Starship 3 is 150m tall the Washington monument is Washington DC, USA is 169m tall It's almost like flinging the monument into space, or at least LEO, a heck of a long way from "Grasshopper" not that long ago

OT way OT @Xepa777 great googly moogly!!! we are doomed. It is time (pauses for a nosh of some sweet's for breakfast, maybe another 'urp, thats good' "when in danger "or in doubt "run in circles "scream & shout

yes, too expensive to find and refine, so TE will be very valuable edit: this is _world_ Terawatt hours generated in ~4 years 10,000TWH/yr, in around 7-8 yrs 20,000TWH/yr, etc. from _free_ fuel much that can be used at point of generation and as DER edit: some of us remember when gas 8% the cost...

OT OT (semi useless kinda factoid) Macassar oil that "dandies" used in their hair to hold in place, so folks invented "anti macassers". fancy and not so fancy "towels" placed on the back and arms of chairs to keep the macassar oil away, you know, seatcovers ....

in present hindsight, this was an idea whose time has _not_ arrived :( perhaps someday Solar powered lights that are biologicals

Dude, OT @Big Time Pachelbel in D on _Tesla_ coils :) :cool:

kinda my point was, If you are going to use PV on a travel trailer RV etc, then go for it, as fuel is free 2009, German students from Darmstadt at solar Decathlon had 5 of 6 sides of 800 ft house covered with ~19kw of PV (technology is way better now) below picture is _only_ 19kw of PV they were...

The S40 was _supposedly_ a software limited S60. i vaguely recall there _may_ have been a few sold, (doubtful) but it was perhaps 10+ years ago. Back then you needed an S85 to make the "jump" between the Delaware, US Interstate 95 supercharger at the Delaware rest stop to the next supercharger...

@Krugerrand OT but direct answer au contraire. If you drive the east coast of the US, Interstate 95 (I-95) and stop at the supercharger at Lumberton, North Carolina, 150kw (V2?) with 10-25% range, set your range to 100% charge rate, look at the signs "20% discount for Tesla chargers at adjacent...
