Use the blended brake option to maximize range. Charge to 100%. Done.

Another AI generated trash post?

I guess you didn’t understand my post. Westgate does have a completed passenger pick up and drop off area. That article is wrong (shocking, I know), or can be misinterpreted.

What do you mean by a “passenger station”? You mean somewhere to pick up passengers? It looks like Westgate will pick up passengers at the main lobby entrance, which is pretty convenient.

Is this a new outlet you are using, or one that you’ve used for a long time? In general, this means there is something wrong with the electrical circuit. The wires in back of the outlet could need tightening, the outlet itself could be too old, or the wires connected to the breaker could need...

According to an X post they haven’t dug that long tunnel yet. It’s a shorter segment they are working on,

Can we return this thread to discussions about Starlink and deep six this pointless political tangent?

Only if you’re comparing different charge voltages (120V vs 240V). Otherwise, same. Charge calculator bottom of this page. https://carcharging.us/120V.php

I know. Sigh. Elon seems to think that there will always been more customers regardless of Teslas image. I’m not going to outright criticize him since he’s the one running a giant successful corporation but geez sometimes I gotta wonder.

Presumably you invested via a SPV, so the SPV would have to facilitate the sale. I don’t think many SPVs would get off their tushes and do that very often, if at all.

So went by there around 1pm. Dead as a doornail. Site might as well be abandoned.

Wow, I didn’t even know they were digging this far away from the LVCC and Resort’s World. This is pretty far away.

Probably both. Why wouldn’t it?

And in reply to some shade someone else cast towards Boring about above ground stations. Above ground stations are a benefit, not a negative. Instead of having to take long escalators to an underground station, you can just walk out of your hotels main lobby and board a vehicle. That’s the nice...

Well, I do agree that Boring seems to be going slow. I suspect it’s because of Elon’s capital efficiency mindset. Remember these projects are CHEAP fixed priced contracts. They have to be cheap because this is unproven technology, but also hotels are paying for the stations, not a well nigh...

I saw the lower gates to the supercharger lot open a few days ago. I’ll pass by it later today so hopefully something is being done there. The site has been quiet for a few months now.

Y’all realize Boring is a startup with an idea that no one else has attempted? And that they are still developing their core technology (faster boring machines) while also attempting to prove out a new kind of transport system? Also bear in mind that these kind of infrastructure projects can...

It would be copyrighted content, so unless Hot Chips puts it on the tube, it won’t be there. Looks like they put it on the tube about 4-5 months after the event.

oooo, this looks like a must watch: "DOJO: An Exa-Scale Lossy AI Network using the Tesla Transport Protocol over Ethernet (TTPoE)" by Eric Quinnell, Tesla Late August at the Hot Chips conference which is chock full of AI chip talks this year. https://hotchips.org/registration/

She’s just the person who recorded the video.

It would be more impressive if he knew what he was talking about. He constantly talks about using transformers for voltage reduction. This is DC guys! You use DC to DC converters, a complex analog circuit, not transformers! Also Jordan of The Limiting Factor showed that Tesla’s side cooling was...

Those sound like robotaxi timelines. The "rugged" version wouldn't be meant for offroad use, it would be meant for 24x7 usage as a robotaxi. Just hose the interior down at the end of the day or whatever. Don't worry, there will be lots more pronouncements of "news" built on very slender reeds...

Seems sad that it has taken this long.

Is there a finalized standard now?

Embarrassing time prediction, but it’ll be an interesting product when it comes out. Priestly warned that a huge gating factor for fleets is building the mega chargers which can easily take 2 years. So start now was the message.

Deliveries en mass in 2026 when new Reno factory will be ready.

Deliveries in 2026.

Awesome presentation. Lots of new information.

How do you know it is the GFCI in the Mobile Connector that is tripping? Is there some notification of such? At any rate, the GFCI threads all relate to a wall receptacle or breaker GFCI tripping, not something inside the Mobile Connector. You have one of the things going on. Either the...

Supposedly they make them in their buffalo plant. But it doesn’t matter. Not being to source them is also a failure, this time of logistics and supplier management. A2Z, a much smaller company, has been filling the gap by making and shipping thousands of adapters a week to their customers.

From reading the other car forums, it appears Tesla has had a hard time producing enough adapters. Also, I think GM will sell them, rather than give them for free. Personally, I add the inability of Tesla to build adapters quickly onto the pile of the ineffectiveness of the charging team and...

Still the best guess. We are definitely at the permanent 2 weeks in the future point. I'm really really glad I'm not those astronauts!

Good for SpaceX, they can charge a lot more to get that expedited :)

Likely actually. I do know that level 2 construction people were also laid off.

When (not if) the Air Force/space force comes crawling back to SpaceX and asks for launch, I hope SpaceX doubles their rates, or at least charges what they would have paid to ULA.

You can use any sized subpanel as long as it rated for 50A or more. The 6/3 romex will be wired to the main lugs, the neutral bar and the ground bar. Make sure not to connect the neutral and ground bars. Use two 50A breakers for each of your Wall Connector feeds. You can use 6/2 NM-B cable for...

That was a great video. Tim did a great job asking all the questions I had.

We do not speak of the charity bet threads here (may they rest in peace) :)

That's the quarter I got my Model S. I had only reserved late November 2022. But in January 2023, the infamous NY Times article came out alleging the journalist ran out of charge looking for a Supercharger. That caused oodles of reservations holders to "pause" their deliveries. I remember in...

Well, it used to be that the charge light would stay lit all the time and the flash rate would indicate how fast it is charging, but that’s going back many years. I would guess various software updates have changed the behavior over the years.

3 days, 4 days, 5, 11, anyone bid 16? Going once…

Exactly. Look, not everyone is as good a CEO as Elon, but at least be half as good as him? None of the EV startups is a real company in my opinion. A real company is one that has a hope of making money. None of the EV startups have even come close to demonstrating this is possible. Positive...

The sad thing is that NASA had this technology in 1969 for the Apollo missions, and now apparently doesn't.

Wow, five days between restarts for a simple issue. Boeing can't do anything quickly.

Hopefully no one buys a Lucid because they realize the company is going to go bankrupt. Anyone can sell a product for cheaper than it costs. Well almost anyone, Lucid can't even do that very well. At any rate, both Lucid and Rivian have shown zero meaningful progress towards selling cars at a...

Guys, this forum is dedicated to dumping on Boeing, not Tesla. The Perpetual Investor Rant forum is just down the hall...

Joe Tegtmeyer has put together a very informative two part video on X all about the Boring company, and their boring machines. Currently only available to subscribers of his, but presumably they’ll be made public at some point in time. https://x.com/joetegtmeyer?s=21&t=XnOIS_qNCv7Zaqa_qM9kWQ

Yes, the fact that Apple didn't realize Siri was obsoleted On December 1st 2022 when ChatGPT was released is a travesty of business strategy. Apple could use a 30% employee riff itself just to get rid of decision making bloat. And start from the top.

Yeah, but probably because of electrical code reasons, Wall Connectors now require their own circuit breaker. BUT you can still load share between them so that your panel won't get overloaded. So do you use a Wall Connector or a Mobile Connector on your 14-50? And if Wall Connector, what...
