More when you put all your stuff in it.

That would take more than 10 years.

Typical. The say the only solution is to use coal or build long distance transmission lines. How about local wind and solar with storage? Faster to implement than the other solutions... plus cheaper.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/apr/19/finnish-startup-food-air-solar-power-solein The real climate benefits from solein come from cutting the vast tracts of land used – and abused through deforestation on an epic scale – for animal feed and pasture. Instead, renewed forests could...

If I had paid full price I would be upset.

The Listeria came from external contamination (probably from cattle).

Must be something about my car. I'll try a reboot and see if that fixed the problem.

The problem is (as the article points out) that animals are capable of multiplying, hosting and mutating animal organisms in the poop. Plants just take the nutrients and filter out the organisms.

Recent software updates have seemingly disabled Frunk open from the screen. (Both the screen that pops up when the car is in Park and the menu screen.) I used to be able to do this. Now when I tap/press the Frunk, nothing happens. I can open the trunk but not the Frunk. Now, I have to use the...

I think it will take time for people to trust it.... But it is very good.

A new paper in Nature says that it will be expensive to fix climate change... But much cheaper than not fixing it. Using an empirical approach that provides a robust lower bound on the persistence of impacts on economic growth, we find that the world economy is committed to an income reduction...

Stupid

The continuous recordings are overwritten eventually. The button probably "saves" the recordings. I have my horn button set to save the camerarecordings when you honk the horn. This probably does the same thing.

The auto lane changes are nice. I don't do much freeway driving so not much value. I might use it on long road trips.

I fear we are in a runaway feedback loop. The temperature anomaly is radically higher than the small incremental changes to date.

Anybody know how to trigger the auto park to work? Driving through a parking lot doesn't do anything.

Beef consumption is down. They're desperate.

All Teslas have AP and since that provides the bulk of the benefit I'll stick with that. I view the rest of the "features" as party tricks which are appropriate for the robotaxi.

When you drive manually with no assistance, you must continually make small adjustments to steering and throttle (and brake) to stay between the lines and at a safe distance from the car ahead. You focus is on the short distance between the lines and also the car ahead. This is tedious and...
