Everybody is being very cautious with their comments so they are moving right along

I have the one in the glovebox dedicated to the Tesla cam etc. and then several large drives using the USBC ports for music. I can swap them in or out as needed

I cannot read the original, but the comments for this say it was one supplier cut due to changing the motor design. So maybe not what is claimed here?

Joe’s video today shows CTs leaving the factory through a new door they cut since the old exit is now blocked by the south expansion. Joe estimated 8 or so leaving every 10 minutes while he was watching (I think they batch them according to the drivers getting back from the west side) Also...

On Tuesday, heading west, things were a little better than Sunday. We charged in the new charger at Ozona (along with a CT), but even when the nav said we could reach Van Horn with 17% it quickly gave up (headwinds?) and we had to stop at Ft Stockton for a top up. Waited 30 minutes and when we...

First thing this morning the car was saying this was completely closed. Many cars were routed to the south/east Tucson charger in order to reach Deming or Las Cruses instead. There was a long line… When we reached the head of the queue I could get no charge and the supercharger was reporting...

I expect @unk45 will have some useful insight about your question

That’s why I said ‘hopefully true’

Saw a note on X saying V12.4.1 is in release 2024.8.10, so that should allow all the cars on the latest release to upgrade. Hopefully true!

We are driving from San Diego to San Antonio and will head NW from there to actually watch things. I intend to charge the day before, so avoid charging on the 8th.

I will be making the same crossing (starting in San Diego). I will stay in Van Horn and there is a Supercharger there. Also one in Ft. Stockton and another in Ozone I have an MSLR so the 200 mile gaps are no issue, but there are splits if you need it. If you don’t already use it, go to...

If there is a crash during that demo ride, can you refuse the car?

You appear to be one of the first

There is something called ‘Joe Mode’ that makes all these quieter. Cannot remember which screen it is set in though so you would need to search.

I am having this issue today in San Diego

Joe’s videos seem to suggest a good rate at the moment - looks like maybe around 100 a day perhaps

I believe that in today’s update (later on) he mentions the delivery of some TKS paint system components to that area. The original system had some similar tanks according to Joe Video is usually available mid afternoon for non Patreons

Perhaps this would be better in another area of the site- doesn’t seem software related to me?

I would love to be able to switch back to the original Speedo/power meter again. I loved that display in my original S

Most likely the battery is cold, due to the temps (assuming this was after sitting for a while). Leave it charging and I expect it will speed up after the battery gets warmer due to the charging. If there is a ‘real’ issue, you should see an error message on the car screen, telling you why the...

I just received this version and I don’t have any form of FSD or even enhanced AP

Aren’t all SCs in Europe CCS? So I am guessing you would not be able to charge at all.

Is there an updated time for this launch. I saw a website claiming tonight (1/2/24) at 9:31, but not sure if that is local or eastern or what? Or is it actually for Wednesday?

Just a small, after hours PSA Turns out the display CTs are being moved around once a month. I just went to the store in San Diego areas UTC store and it is gone, moved to Riverside apparently. So sadly I missed it

Also another ship arrived late in Spain, due to rerouting around Africa, so those additional deliveries in Q1 also

But that would be a real limitation. Say I want bots in my factory to carry out some very particular activity that would save me a huge amount of money. I would have to apply to Tesla and get in some queue to have them (maybe) add that skill in several years?

Thinking about the difference between the single amorphous ‘blob’ end2end versus a stack with some form of intermediate API style connections - this will be very important for Optimus - for that to be very successful it will require an ecosystem similar to the Apple AppStore along with...

That’s strange - I have had, and still have Tesla Insurance in California

I spent some time recently driving the Stockton/Lathrop part of I5 and saw two white painted Semis as well a Frito Lay version

The WSJ has a Dan Neil review of the Lotus Eletre currently. He likes it, but says (in no uncertain terms) that it is NOT a real Lotus!

Drove by this evening and it showed as unavailable. I could clearly see the stalls, all empty, so I assume it is powered down for some reason?

I completely agree, but it seems so lopsided - I have observed the same thing for carriers heading north towards Oregon as well, there is nowhere near a matching flow back towards the factory as from it, either loaded or empty. Yesterday I saw 4 or 5 non Tesla carriers heading south, but not...

Not towing related, but a simple question. For fun when driving along I5 between LA and the Bay Area I count the southbound Tesla transporters. Yesterday I saw 28 in a 2.5 hr morning stretch. Which leads to my question - why do I not see a similar number of empty transporters heading north...

Looks like the Rivian stalls are ready - they had an R1T there for testing it seems. Two of those stalls are along the kerb to allow trailers

Yes, it’s the law now. came in around 2019 sadly. Other EVs have their own noises, but they all have to do something.

Many years ago I went to college in North Wales - we had a wonderful time rallying, both on the roads and in the forests. Can someone explain how this new rule applies? Is it in urban areas only? What are the limits in regular rural roads? What about on the single track roads in places like...

Thanks for both the responses - not a big deal for me obviously, I always thought there was some definitive source for these things but it seems there is not

Is there a status change with this? Did it launch? I could find no video and on a perfect San Diego day saw nothing. I wonder if the launch time changed?

24/192 has always played for me, for many years

Any chance you could post some pictures of the rubber strips to show the location? Thanks

My ‘22 has the 19” Continentals and it too suffers a lot of road noise on concrete surfaces. My local stretch of I8 goes from concrete to new blacktop and the difference in noise is astonishing. These tires seem very bad with rough surfaces.

Completely removed. The cabinetry and signs on the other wall are completely gone as well. This area is still taped off - don't know if that means anything or they simply left it like that so they could re-paint perhaps.

I recall getting an update that changed the setting from late to early warning and I suddenly got several warnings for silly situations. So worth checking that setting again and making sure it is set to ‘late”

Has anyone seen the current Honda ads? Shows a series of CGI vehicles, including a rendering of the upcoming car they are licensing from Chevy. In the small print it says ‘imaginary vehicles shown throughout’ and it also shows a VTOL and some guy playing with a toy moon station. The punchline...

It is always worthwhile to occasionally charge to 100% and let the BMS have some time to check the cells - this often corrects the predicted miles. I have had my most recent S for a year but only done one long run in that time. I recently had two trips where I charged to 100% in preparation...

I recently spent the night at the hotel and walked the entire property - there was definitely no diesel charger, mobile or otherwise anywhere onsite.

Similar coverage here and you could see it was darker and much cooler. Another cool thing was the dappled sunlight through trees - all acted like little pin hole cameras, so there were millions of little crescents!

Thanks for this. On my car the overwhelming noise is from the tires. It is hugely noticeable going from concrete surfaces to black top. Can you estimate the level of road vs. wind on your car?

However, anyone who actually visited this location (as I have multiple times over the years and most recently in September) would know there are no diesel generators on site at all and certainly no Tesla flatbeds - there is no diesel power on any of the hundred or so SC at location.

I’ve done several longer drives in the last days and this setup really feels better (note I am not really ‘pushing’ like in my long ago rallying days) so I intend to keep this way. Thanks for the idea.
