It’s pretty simple: a Tesla is the best car you can drive and now, it’s also the best car you don’t have to drive. I added the acceleration boost to my MYLR and it’s great. I use it in cases where I need to pass or accelerate quickly and I greatly enjoy knowing I have the capability. Initially...

They may do different things. My MYLR does. For example, at the same intersection with a lane merging in, sometimes it will stay to the left and merge right and other times it will quickly move to the right and merge left (this is the less preferred behavior, but always happened on v11). Could...

Too soon. I don’t know what the thinking or plan here is. And I’m in California so don’t experience any gaps going up and down the state, as I often do on road trips. But my wife is highly concerned as the number one worry for EV adoption is range anxiety. Anything that would seem to put the...

Basic driving just isn’t that hard for humans. In the FSD future, I think drivers ed will focus on parking, navigating parking lots, and edge case maneuvers. Like taking a plane trip, where passengers just need to know how to pack and whether they are checking a bag or carrying it on. I’m know...

If that’s pain, I’ll take it for today!

No, you would just order mulch and the store would use their own autonomous delivery vehicle or a hired RT to deliver it to you. Why do you have to do it?

I agree that FSD needs to become more strategic in its behavior. On you second point, you may just be a more efficient driver than I am. In a mixed freeway/town scenario, FSD is about 7% more efficient than I am. My LR Y gets 262 wh/mi on FSD and I only get 285!

I like to drive. In 1982 I wrote a short story about autonomous driving killing free will and joy of driving called “Safe at any speed” for a creative writing class. But, as a long time tech geek, I have to say that FSD is both amazing in what it does from a technical standpoint and also very...

I feel like the guy(@CyberShy) with the Cybertruck as his avatar is gonna order one.

So, how “perfect” does it need to be? Sure, there are nots to pick. But, every day, how many times do you curse another driver for doing something stupid, or say to yourself, yeah, that was an a-hole thing I just did. FSD 12.3.3 is much better than that now. As long as it doesn’t crash or run...

Barely. Tesla Vehicle Production & Deliveries and Date for Financial Results & Webcast for First Quarter 2024

A simple per mile charge (currently 20 cents per mile based on avg. 12k miles per year and $199 monthly subscription) would be reasonable. A car with FSD not activated costs Tesla the same as a car with active FSD but the driver never uses it. They could offer insurance discounts for miles...

I read this article this morning. I found it overall very strange and could not figure out the overall point or why it needed to be written in the first place. Marginally interesting but that is all. Not really relevant to anything.

This is why we can’t have nice things! I saw this truck a couple times last week running around Lake Merritt. Confirmed today t is the same truck. F’ing Oakland!

You have another couch?!

So much drama. And I was feeling so good about Monday morning‘s purchase.

I see that, but it looks like the large move can be either way?

Just got this…hmm…but I think I’m going to have to wait.

Why don’t we get all 366 days? It’s a leap year! And I will predict at least 2.5 million deliveries, given the extra day.

Even if technically true, how many will be likely buyers?

That res# doesn’t make sense. I’m RN1129xxxxx on 11/22/19.

Thanks! I’m only 57-58k behind you!

What were the first 6 digits of your reservation number, if you don’t mind sharing?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! And me (from my daughter)!

Yeah, I’m 112846xxx, but there are 9 digits. So, the 11274xxxx is at least 101,000 ahead of me, and depending on where your presumed typo is, more for you. But, I believe only 20-30% of those original orders will fill ahead of me, for whatever reason (multiple orders, changed mind, couldn’t...

Super-informative, mongo! I hope the SQ is important. Regardless of what many say, car audio quality is rarely outstanding, when compared to a reasonable mid-fi or true hi-fi home system. And I don’t mean analog LPs and tubes, but a quality digital system and good speakers

So is the DAC/amp function on the controller, or is there only one main DAC feeding the controllers and they are amplifying the speakers? The former would give a lot more flexibility in being able to manipulate the sound, and probably implement noise canceling.

Shouldn’t it be impervious to crime? I do have to park outside, although with the angle/height I could actually get it up my steep Bay Area driveway, if it is t too wide for the rock walls on either side.

Total Range (in km) I think. Looks like about 10% degradation after about 100k.

But the TAM for the automotive market may exceed this world!

True, but you are not going back far enough. While volatile for periods, about 3.5 to 4% would be more normal than about the 5.5%+ we have today: https://advisor.visualcapitalist.com/us-interest-rates/

Tell that to everyone buying Teslas now vs a year ago! “In the aggregate” is the key phrase.

A few weeks? How about 9 days.

You can’t make any changes in the configuration at the moment, so you can’t add FSD. I just hope the FSD added earlier stays at The same price ($7000)!

True, but the roofline and geometry looks different. Must just be the perspective. It would also make more sense to ship 2 6s and 2 3s, rather than 1 and 3.

Also I think the gray car on the bottom is another Y.

Another possibility is that there is no delay. Rather, Tesla is telling that particular supplier to wait. Perhaps evaluating that supplier itself for another, bringing it in house, or eliminating it. Not saying it’s likely, but it’s not unlikely until there are other confirmations.

Ad hominem much?

Maybe it would be better if the car refused to drive in such conditions. Humans insist on doing things in conditions they should not be doing them.

Yes, exactly that.

Anyone outside California would think it was staged, given how many other Teslas there are.

Interesting stuff. Globalization happened. Also, we went off the gold standard (end of Breton Woods removed the dollar-gold peg of $35) and oil started being priced in dollars rather than gold, which was much higher than the peg. That, followed by OPEC increasing prices with an embargo a couple...

The version I posted right after while @AudubonB was still looking (only 30 seconds) still seems to be up. It will give you the idea.

Just terrible. Scroll down this article to see it: https://thedriven.io/2023/07/17/unplugged-or-unhinged-big-oils-ad-campaign-against-electric-vehicles/

Interesting watch, and also noted that Cory doesn’t seem as plugged in to all the details as much as many of us are (e.g., which RHD cars have been discontinued). But, clearly very knowledgeable about the engineering topics.

Elon Musk interview at the PG&E Innovation Summit starts at minute 14:00:

I keep my go bag, mobile charger adapters, towels, tire repair kit and pump, and pucks (not home made) in the frun and I’ve never opened it except to add washer fluid. Testament to both reliability and the extensive charging network.

I guess you can’t keep your brush in the trunk. Frunk?
