    Tesla's response to me leaking info about the P100D?

    Just reading the posts in this topic. It's funny how people don't understand that if something is unencrypted and on a piece of hardware that you own, then "releasing" it is not wrong. It can't be wrong because the information has already been "released" by the matter of fact of putting it on...

    New Forum Design

    This forum design is one of the worst I've ever seen. The text boxes and the color contrast is so low it's hard to determine what is clickable and what isn't. The symbology is all wrong to tell where to log in for example and what symbols mean what. Notably the main page is very buggy with how...

    Tesla's response to me leaking info about the P100D?

    As a fellow stockholder, wk057 and anyone else should be doing their due diligence to keep Tesla on it's toes and release any and all found information. This helps improve the company by instilling better practices. A sloppy software company is a dead software company. I'm not worried about...

    Tesla's response to me leaking info about the P100D?

    That's just him deleting the rules he placed in blocking their access from the updater.

    Tesla's response to me leaking info about the P100D?

    They're probably running a reverse proxy through the updater. Can you identify any open connections out of the updater to their server? Could be able to block those.

    Tesla, Linux and the GPL

    Because using a commercial OS drastically slows down development time. I used to work for a major factory equipment supplier and they were switching away from a commercial OS to a Linux-based OS for this reason (among others).

    [updated with *] P85D 691HP should have an asterisk * next to it.. "Up to 691HP"

    Then what's still going on about it? The topic title is obviously wrong as no engine (electric or hydrocarbon) produces labeled shaft horsepower all the time.

    [updated with *] P85D 691HP should have an asterisk * next to it.. "Up to 691HP"

    So are buyers of P85D just unable to slam their foot onto the accelerator pedal? This is breaking major news in Norway now apparently. 1. Charge it fully 2. Slam your foot down 3. Experience your 3.3 second 0-60MPH (including rollout) or 3.5 second 0-60MPH without rollout. Why is this topic...

    So, my car was hit by lightning at the Grove City, OH supercharger...

    I think you're slightly off. I count 7 frames between initial visual indication of the strike (the lightning actually has two strikes visible) and the first indication of the boom. This would mean the strike was 80 meters away.

    So, my car was hit by lightning at the Grove City, OH supercharger...

    You don't need to get so defensive. I should note the visual strike of lightning in the video and the boom are perfectly co-located which basically means the lightning strike was either directly on him or directly adjacent to him.

    Tesla Cross-Country Trip

    You're from California so I get that you wouldn't get this, but that picture looks pretty standard winter weather driving. I've driven in that kind of stuff before several times. Not really that dangerous, especially in a vehicle with good traction control and if you keep your distance from...

    Do folks ask you if you work for Tesla?

    More so than you know. Among my college friends (we're computer/electrical/computer science engineers) no one has really not heard of Tesla or doesn't already know a decent amount about it. Tesla is very well known in pretty much every engineering university anywhere I would say. Notably, at the...

    Tesla CEO: Very optimistic for 2014

    People seem to be missing that Elon mentioned they are picking the state that will contain the Tesla battery gigafactory within a month...

    In case you missed it, by popular demand, -30*F & One Big Fat Reason EV's Beat ICE :)

    I'm not sure if its -30 or not, but the sound of the snow shows its at least below 10-15 degrees. Lived in Michigan most of my life.

    Tesla Supercharger network

    Wow... Around here you just build the deck. Even then, the most I've heard is if you do extensive changes you have to talk to the neighborhood committee (non-governmental). Years ago my Dad put in a 30 foot high HAM radio antenna in our backyard and the most we got were a few comments.

    Model S Accident/Fire

    I registered just to correct this egregious physics. It's F = ma, or force equals mass times acceleration. You posted (sort of) the equation for kinetic energy or E_k = 1/2 * m * v^2. But yes, if you assume acceleration to be g, as in the acceleration from earth's gravity, or 9.8 m/s^2, or 32...
