You could do that and supplement with 120V charging at your rental. That's what I typically do, now that chargers are more ubiquitous. In my Model S I can usually get about 20% back overnight with 120V. Sometimes that's enough to cover daily driving if it's all local. Sometimes I have to...

I used to do this frequently back in the dark ages when there were very few superchargers. I would obsess over the pictures in the rental property listing to figure out where the dryer was located in reference to parking. I made up a 100' extension cord with a 14-30 male on one end and a 6-20...

What do you think Tesla is in breach of? Do you have a contractual agreement with Tesla for uptime or production, and what does your contractual language say around consequential damages? From the warranty section of Tesla's standard form purchase contract (if they are your installer): 10...

If you're speaking in terms of pure ability to resolve specific objects (as opposed to a big landscape scene), this is not accurate. Foveal receptor density is not that dissimilar to the pixel density of the IMX480 sensor that is on the HW4 cars. So the ability to achieve some sort of similar...

The brake pads on my P100D, 2017 MS made this exact noise when they were cold. Maybe that's why the service center thought it was brakes? Ages ago I had a daily driver with performance compound pads that were noisy, and I always chalked up the P100D's upgraded brakes to be something similar.

You should probably delete. One of the Tesla muckraker "journalists" will probably scrape that and turn it into a halfassed article. Don't want your friend to get in trouble.

FYI, I asked this company to make a tricoat version. It’s hard to find touch up paint in full 3 coat versions but that seems to produce better results. I bought this company’s tricoat version of sunset red (the old Tesla red), and it was flawless. Haven’t tried their Ultra Red yet, but just...

They do taper as they get full. If from the grid my PW2s charge at a 5+kW rate each unless >90% or so.

I’m not sure that’s right, if I’m following you. My 4 PowerWalls charge at ~23kW which is a challenge with my 200A service.

Yikes. Good luck man.

I live for power outages now. I get so geeked out when my system keeps the house up.

My sense is that in this particular area it may be related to: Dunning-Krueger effect The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people wrongly overestimate their knowledge or ability in a specific area. This tends to occur because a lack of self-awareness prevents them from...

I’m going to have to disagree unless you can produce quantitative evidence to back this up. If so, I stand corrected and I’m sure every professional driving system in North America would be all ears. My corporation does about 20M miles per year across 1500 regular drivers. I just did a quick...

I have to take annual, professional driver training as part of my profession. We are specifically taught to stop before the white line becomes occluded by the front of the vehicle. It’s been beaten into my head this way for the past 20+ years of courses. There’s probably some truth to your...

Accidents per vehicle or total accidents? Sticking with the theme of qualitative anecdotes, if there are 100 accidents at the intersection but 100k vehicles/d pass through, versus 10 accidents on unprotected left but only 1000/d vehicles, then the intersection is 10x safer despite an order of...

Are you sure your phone is the primary account holder and not an "added driver"?

Your linked DOE article touches on something interesting; despite hydrogen vehicles only holding the equivalent of 4 or 5 gallons, they are ~2.5 as efficient as a combustion vehicle so would compare to a sedan with an 10 to 12 gallon tank. But the fuel cost comparison is way worse than 2.5x more...

Not uncommon for wholesale pricing to go negative at night, at least at some of the hubs. So with negative pricing, a wholesale consumer gets paid for usage. With that said, hubs around Houston aren’t consistently negative at night, so I assume these free night plans also assume some daytime...

This is correct, each solar inverter is going to have a set of panel strings physically tied into it. So losing that inverter will reduce solar accordingly. The remaining one(s) will keep on trucking though, and charge your batteries / power your home. Same with the Powerwalls. Each...

Or the battery portion of the PW2+. The Gateway will track solar production from all your inverters and manage PW charging based on total available power (along with your time of use settings.) Power from any inverter can be used by any PW2/2+

That is correct. Each PW2 battery has its own inverter and can discharge up to its own limit. Additionally, each PW2+ has its own solar inverter and can invert the panel strings tied into it, regardless of the state of any other one. In a PW3 based system with additional DC packs, one gets...

A PW2 based system has some advantages over PW3 that can make it a compelling option for some people. In particular, parallel inverters and battery banks make it more fault tolerant with (potentially) higher output per installed kWh (compared to PW3 w/ DC expansion). PW3’s chemistry is super...

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing 2012-2020 Model S, 21” Arachnid Wheels. Please add to the discussion here.

My sense is that this will be a transient issue, if it is even one. Once self driving really takes hold, a-la rapid adoption of personal computers or smart phones etc… we’ll see rapid reduction of human drivers. I have to imagine insurance industry practices will play a huge part in that.

I wonder if it could it also be just as likely that they find some new, as of yet unknown, solution that is neither? Some hybrid approach maybe?

This was with the previous Version 11 that had more “visibility” into what the vision system was seeing. I think the general consensus here is that the current end-to-end approach doesn’t easily allow for queries into specifics of what the model is seeing. It seems like there is a V11 object...

I installed earlier today from 11.4. Zero interventions, safety, comfort, embarrassment, or otherwise in 100% of my drives today. The difference from V11 is frankly astonishing. We’ll see if this holds up as I drive more tomorrow.

I put my whole driveway into Open Street Map and at some point it was picked up into Tesla’s database so I can do just that. But flip side was that Amazon, Fed Ex etc adjusted their delivery drop point way up on my property since they can map it (something I don’t want) and now flip out when...

Nice work. Glad you got it squared away.

I took a screenshot of everything because I was absolutely sure that Tesla would screw up something. And ironically everything was super smooth. Go figure…

Here’s where it showed up in my App. When I did the trade in process it asked me if I wanted to apply FSD transfer etc…. It then showed it when clicking on the trade in details in app thereafter.

If you are not trading in, or are transferring from a VIN that’s on another account, I think there’s a manual process where you have to sign an agreement and submit VINs by hand to the sales advisor.

Are you trading in your 2015? It happens during the trade in valuation process.

Not an option for everyone but I went old school and just walked into my delivery center and they were all in there. They were happy to help me move my delivery window out a week to accommodate spring break. Took like 60 seconds.

I just picked up a new S at noon on a Sunday here in TX?

I just traded my 2017 S to a 2024 and successfully transferred FSD and free supercharging (FUSC). I did the transaction under my existing Tesla username in app and everything was automatic. The app picked up that I had FSD and FUSC on my trade in and asked me if I wanted to transfer them. I...

I had a trim piece fall off after a couple of years and a tech came out and put it back on, no trouble. He also did a quick system inspection while he was here.

A shame we can’t do that to the human brain. My doofus weighting is too high; would like to crank that back a bit.

If the standard is someone invoking Article 4 assistance in response to an "attack", I'm assuming he (she?) is referring to Türkiye and Syria in 2012?

It can be a little confusing to the general public how gas pipelines work in this regard, but it's not quite as black and white as your are portraying. At the point the gas is in Ukraine, it may not be Russian from a title standpoint. Title to gas inside a pipeline can trade hands at various...

Because they collect $2B per year in tolls from downstream customers to do so.

I thought you said you were done with Tesla and FSD?

If it was trained from actual humans driving, maybe the phantom slowing is an actual “feature” of the neural net, end-to-end? How many people out there can drive by hand at an exact speed while also paying attention to other driving tasks at the same time? Perhaps one case where heuristics has...

Is ERCOT non profit? Can I claim my grid donations as charitable giving? 😁

Those are amateur numbers my friends. Gotta keep that neighborhood transformer nice and warm.

Direct Energy is going to lose their shirts on my free night hours tonight.

Clever in retrospect. Carry 100 extra tons of oxygen and vent to simulate payload delivery.

Yearly options expire on Jan 19th with a fairly significant inflection point at 225 creating an incentive for market makers to push below that level. I think most downward pressure right now is somewhat artificial.

Uh, yeah, I get that you are emotional about the subject but I can’t see how you are qualified to claim FSD doesn’t have any scenario in any context or any region where it functions well. In fact you even say in your own reply that “influencers” are able to tease out good performance in some...
