That would be kmanauto trying to kill his friend:

"Your post in the thread Elon Musk vs. Short sellers was deleted. Reason: There's another thread for this... I don't have time to move misplaced posts any more." I thought it was good and insightful - why deleted - which thread. Definitely not misplaced. What is going on ? Who deleted it ? Is...

I've speculated about Elon Musk's behaviour at the Q1 Earnings call and lately his tweets responding to a diver that with a smug smile told Elon to stick his sub where it hurts. (Pedophiles live in a universe where sticking something where it hurts is normal I suppose). What was Elon thinking...

My 85D from Nov 2015 won't download 2018.26 (Denmark). Tried several times with and w/o wifi. Is new nagging changed wrt the stupid change that only shows a white band at top of the screen typically disguised by the wheel ? Anyways I've learned myself to always have my left hand resting on the...

I've been using AP for 2 years now and been very happy with it. Now - every trip I'm taking the "red hands" will show up eventually. Haven't quite figured out when and why. The way I grab and hold the wheel has to be adjusted it seems. I'm certainly not happy with changing the way I have used AP...

Same here - I've never experienced more dedicated service personel than with Tesla. And I've been around the block with VW, Citroën, Ford, Peugeot, Opel, Toyota and Audi. I believe that typical Tesla employees know that they have to be better that the incumbents. There might be bad apples but I...

For some inexplicable reason the titanium colour of the model S is very similar to my Citroen C4 Picasso from 2011. I love both cars but should really sell the Citroen. I just can't because they're so good together. Same colour inside and out. Piano black, beige alcantara/leather etc.

U like black cars. I'm ok with this - but it is kind of weird. Have a look at my cars - not black - no hint of being a royal or russian mafia or drug dealer or whatever. Just an ordinary person.

This is how we do it (in Denmark): Big fat sign and stripes everywhere.

We're quite a few I believe. I bought 100 shares same time I bought my S85D thinking if I'm right that this car is a technological masterpiece, then others will find out and TSLA will eventually go up. Being an electrical engineer with a lot of automation/robot projects under my belt I fully...

Android app 3.1.1 does show cabin temp on model S too. But not always when you log on. At times it is delayed and other times it doesn't display at all. However if you use controls to vent roof or if you turn A/C on - it seems it always starts displaying cabin temp. Apparently a sw bug they...

If your phone has a clock that is lagging the cars clock, the app will think it has been updated when not. Make sure that the clock on your phone and in your car are in sync. From personal experience with last android app version update.

I managed to locate the exact spot where the accident happened on Google maps. It was a road in a predominantly industrial area. At 1am it must have been a pretty quiet place. And what were they doing there ? Not driving directly home as far as I could investigate. My theory is that the car...

Yes - make sure the clock on your phone is in sync with the clock in your car.

The clock on your smartphone has to be in sync with the car. I had the same problem and solved it.

If controls are disabled and app keeps saying "Updated 4 mins ago" it might be because the clock setting on your smartphone is off. The clock on the car and on the phone has to be in sync it seems. Strange thing and kind of a bug. Otherwise a disappointing lack of new functions but at least a...

You drank the cool-aid, bought the car of the future, and now you're unhappy because you are not getting the OTA update you were recently promised on time. Really! - go for a ride in your model S - and enjoy it. I drive my car almost every day more or less just for fun. It's been more than a...

I've been involved in computer image analysis programming for 20 years. I have a pretty good idea of how lane markers are detected. The algorithm probably searches for lines that qualify the best by their contrast, angle, length and possibly width. My theory is that the length of the truck is...

I just experienced the autosteer speed limit today. Thank you Joshua Brown -not- and RIP. Actually it does make sense but I was overtaken by a car whos driver probably thought: Why is he going 3 kmph below the speed limit when everyone else is 3 kmph above ?. The speed measurement is not...

Kinetic energy of the car is reduced by 3,600 (4225 - 625) and then raised by 1875 (2500 - 625). In this case, I got 52% (which is 1875/3600) round trip efficiency on the deceleration/acceleration. But shouldn't you deduct the energy that would have been required to go the same distance w/o...

In Europe the common EU legislators would certainly look very closely on any car dealership monopoly and probably rule against it. I feel certain that Donald Trump too is against this kind of monopoly as you see it in f.in TX and MI. Especially as it is disadvantagous to a company with a US...

Actually you could be right. I know nothing about the torque sensor but it is very likely that its sensisitivity could vary between cars. I'd suggest you talk to your service center about it. They may be able to adjust it as it is probably some sort of current measurement.

The warning says: Keep your hands on the wheel. If you don't you are ignoring this warning and you will get a nag and have to apply torque. Taking your hands off the wheel you are again ignoring the warning. Simple as that

Sailing boats usually have radar reflectors mounted in the mast I believe. Bicyclists should have radar reflectors as well.

Think about it. Who is really talking ? Mobileye or whom they perceive as big customers. I'm pretty sure that Mobileye and their actions are controlled by the incumbent auto industry. We know they hate and fear Tesla so it is no wonder that Mobileye are trying to discredit Tesla.

One undeniable fact is that AP reaction time is low and consistent. 6 milliseconds I believe I've read. Human drivers use more than 200 and often 1000 ms to react.

At 6am it seems it would be a dark deserted road running in a fairly straight line through a forest area. The situation could lend itself to a speed much higher than 80 kmph. We'll see.

Version 7.1 AP is incredible and does 90% of my driving. It does have glitches but I quickly learned to handle them. The geniuses that created AP have gotten wiser and 8.0 will be next iteration. Interesting - but while waiting for it I still enjoy using the best driver assist system yet...

During temp and charge cycles the single battery cell expands and retracts. It is easy to imagine that a cylindrical construction tolerates this much better than a box - shaped.

EDIT: Exciting times - sorry for misspelling - would never write break iso brake though

Very, very good gif? And isn't this a perfect picture of what most of us feel. Elon against enemies: -Oil companies. -Major car manufacturers. (Especially self-absorbed German luxury car companies - Vorsprung durch Technik - my ass) -Car distributors. -Car service garages. -The press (angry that...

Fun,fun,fun by Beach Boys. About a T- Bird. Almost same thing. Or was it California Dreaming (more relaxed)

Genius for sure - I didn't always recognize this.

I've been a model S owner since September 15 and Tesla (& SpaceX) has become my new obsession. I'm not alone I believe. Daily reading of the US, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and German Tesla fora has become a part of my life as well as Reddit and Elons tweets. Now it is time to participate in the...
