Just for fun, let's hop in our time machine and go back a month. "Hi, Future TMC here. You will soon see people jumping for joy at $170". Just to see the look on their faces (and the fights that break out).

When FSD is driving well we tell people "Elon is driving". But when it's misbehaving we say it's Toonces.

One mention of "Genuine People Personalities", and Elon will be all over it.

The peak power was 327.67 kW. No one finds that curious?

15 m/day works out to 0.17 mm/s, or 13 milliGary 1 mile/week works out to 2.6 mm/s, or 204 milliGary I have lobbied in the past that we rate the speed against Gary the snail, reported by The Boring Co. to be 13mm/s. We're not there yet. When the (w)hole Boring thing started, Elon was talking...

Each word, one sound.

With any suborbital trajectory, including "almost orbit", as soon as the engines are off, the ship is in free-fall. A microgravity environment should persist until the upper atmosphere starts pushing back. Three-fourths of an orbit gives you about an hour to try stuff. Educated guess, anyway.

Ask them how much money Tesla loses for every car they sell. If you get the expected answer, suggest they can hasten the company's demise by buying one.

Wholeheartedly agree; I will discharge that responsibility to the rest of you. My current advice is to keep it short.

The guy from Alaska wants the Cybertruck with the extra air conditioning.

I'm quite surprised on one remembers Nissan's original volley. That Mobil ad feels like a mirror-universe response. What If Everything Ran On Gas?

The latter. From the I.R. page on Tesla, if you choose "Q&A" you will go to the list managed by say.com.

I'm optimistic that you paid less than 293 for those shares. In which case, you worked it well. Consider how much better this sale is than being forced to sell twice as many at $180, (or 3x at $90), which is a common fate. As you reduce your holdings, that turns into cash (or yes, other...

Not really the devil's bargain. Competitive EV is not the enemy. ICE is the enemy. Once upon a time, Tesla hoped the U.S. carmakers would do this. Review quote below.

"Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they have me plugging in cars!"

Trading our company's stock amongst ourselves is a zero sum activity only if the Market Cap does not change.

Is there some reason these "manipulators" wouldn't ever try to push the price up? There's money to be made going in either direction (arguably more in the positive direction). They are always referred to as "manipulators", not "market killers".

Yes, and they should make them tall, like a spaceship. Give it a shape everyone will easily recognize. /s

Failed to crash, every time. Never could get it to touch the wall. That darn FSD.

Five years ago, we took delivery of our brand new Model 3. Seven years ago, we awoke from a long cold night at the mall so we could order it. That evening, we got to see what the car we had just ordered would look like! Two years, to the day, to get the car. To the hour. Not to the minute...

Outcomes can answer this. Was the bill defeated? Then yes, they can stand up to it. Was the bill signed into law? Then it seems that no, they can't. I find the remark about undoing 50 years of progress particularly telling of the mindset down there.

For what it's worth, I encountered a similar spoofing attempt about a month ago. I reported it. And I even got an email back from the algorithm thanking me for doing so. I just looked at the message again and I noticed it said it had removed the video (not the account). But I'm guessing that...

It will be, if it won't fit in my garage. Reality is that it won't be available in time to replace my poor Leaf, so only a factor. But how awesome would it be if the wheels could be pulled inward during parking?

This is starting to play out like a Star Trek episode, considering that Bots aren't allowed to post.

FTFY

So noted. I've printed out the relevant information, and it is now tacked up in the garage on a convenient 2x4.

It's gotta be more profitable than mining cryptocurrency. Elon should remind them of that at every opportunity.

Gather 'round the fireplace; grandpa has a story. In my day, we had these things called clocks. They were boxes that told the time and did nothing else. No movies, no talking, it couldn't even open the garage door. Just had the time. Of course they couldn't resist the impulse build them...

Does it count as prior art if it's been documented previously? (Same stunt, but 10 years ago)

When you see a typo, but you check to see who wrote it, and think, "No, I'd better go look up that word".

I don't know why they avoid trains, but they have made similar things to haul rocks out of the Boring tunnels. It probably enables them to go straight up hills at full speed, too! Well, there's your ten percent, right there.

I used to fight with the seat belts until I saw an explanation. This one I pulled from a Model3 Owner's Manual. To securely hold child safety seats, all passenger seating positions are equipped with an automatic locking retractor (ALR) that, by pulling the seat belt beyond the length needed...

Also check that the sun visors are latched. Sounds that happen "up there", reflect off the windshield and they sound like they are coming from "down there".

It is still possible it is confused. The battery could be charged, and all reported numbers are goofy. No way I can think of to tell, though (other than the obvious :) ) Now that I think about it....your electric bill, or the meter, or how hot the cable gets if you charge at 30+ amps would be...

I'm slowly getting up to speed here. This is a Model S. You're showing us the small screen. I have seen many inexplicable, wacky things that were caused by a low 12v battery. Your computer may be confused. Maybe you just need to adjust the charge rate--which you can't do without the main...

What is the battery level? You managed to take a picture where I can't see the number at all.

So, like this: Note how far we've travelled. It's pretty meaningless.

I thought it looked anti-theft-ish. Also decorative. Like something that would attach a license plate.

In the story I heard, even the Tesla Service guy was fooled. They ordered a replacement, and when he went to remove the glass...he discovered the plastic covering!

If your car is full, then it is no longer charging. There are "idle fees" that are in effect if half or more of the charge stations are in use. Tesla has an article about this. You can read it here.

I bet it starts out at a high charge rate, and then tapers down as the battery fills up!

The production of gasoline consumes about as much electricity as we use to power our cars directly. So as we all transition to sustainable energy, we are freeing up the electricity we need for charging.

It's not mentioned because it's not necessary. Since each phone is matched to its own key, the driver profile feature works even if you share one account. It's the key that determines which profile to set. Ours is set up this way and it works as expected.

Actual headline: Hackers stuck a 2-inch strip of tape on a 35-mph speed sign and successfully tricked 2 Teslas into accelerating to 85 mph What they want you to see: AutoPilot is plotting to kill you The catch: This is AP version version 1, the Mobileye implementation. Thus, it only happens...

I've come to realize that Daily Mail is a British-ism that means, "Read At Your Own Risk".

You try holding together at that speed! :) ggr is right; that should be 1850 km/hr. Sadly, I'm less familiar with the metric values used for space flight. But most of it is very fast, which is why I sometimes slip and say "per second".

Fuel in pipes, valves that rotate to a new position, turbines and pumps slowing down, as you say. That was part of the confusion. Elon said the whole abort sequence covers all of 700 ms, and you see MECO taking a lot longer than that. He also mentioned that Dragon could still get away even if...

The answer to Tim Dodd's question wasn't 100% clear, but the information was there. The abort system was programmed to activate as the vehicle exceeded a certain speed. Of course, they like to take the instrumentation off the screen right when it gets interesting, but I tried to count it as it...

I think that's great. And I think they should teach this stuff in science class. Let the kids try to beat the system. It's the best way to learn. Come to think of it, I wonder if I can get a balloon to inflate itself.

Is anything working on that car? It sounds dead the way you explained it. A jump start and a new 12V battery might be in order.
