You could store the last hour of video and just have it overwrite until it detects an accident. Nowadays multiple gigs of storage has gotten very cheap unless you are using apple memory :) I will refer to the Toyota case where I know they had the same digital data on the brake presses in the...

I would assume it is theoretically possible that the digital sensor in the brake pedal could fail, then it would not register a brake press? Even if that is not possible due to redundant backups, I think you could probably covince a jury that it is. I have no doubt that Toyota had a black box...

It is not negative social media I was referring to, it is negative press, in the last few years it was unfortunately a very serious issue for Tesla in China. Enough negative news and the party in China feels like they need to take up the cause which is not good. To the point where Tesla had to...

Seeing many articles especially from China like this claiming false acceleration. Here is the most recent article I have seen on this once again. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/tesla-model-y-crash-china-160000617.html Perhaps Tesla should add cameras in the footwell, one pointing to the...

Starlink ground stations being destroyed would have no impact on Starlink being used as GPS since it only relies on a time signal being sent down which is already determined on the satellite. In addition V2 of starlink satellites need significantly less ground stations as they will communicate...

I could have worded this better. I really meant signal reliability and used the word accuracy. Thanks for bringing that up and giving me a chance to clarify. I was referring to Ukraine using Starlink data to communicate, it has been documented in numerous articles and if the network was...

This post is hypothetical on what is possible not what are they doing commercially right now. I appreciate you attempt to limit my discussion to what is proven possible with commercially available products. Per the articles that I have posted, if they are believed, everything I discussed has...

Article came out today implying Tesla may be developing a Starlink specific GPS for use in Tesla automobiles and have applied for trademarks. Guess I may have predicted this one. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musks-starlink-files-data-190431171.html

Apparently the Starlink signal is able to be used as a GPS per this article, link below. They say with some tweaking it would be as accurate as the current GPS signal which is within 16 feet. My original point was I would assume with thousands of starlink satellites, you could eventually...

The starlink satellites are going to be used for broadband internet. I don't know how big the antenna needs to be or if they work with a moving target, but assuming they could potentially be used for car internet if the antenna can be small enough. The main question I was raising is if...

My understanding is that SpaceX will be launching thousands of Starlink satellites into low earth orbit. Could Tesla use those thousands of low earth orbit satellites to create a more precise location network than the existing one from GPS satellites to improve navigation? Assuming that since...

With the broken windows during the reveal they got broader publicity and greater free press than a standard reveal. "There’s no such thing as bad publicity." P.T. Barnum Seems like this may be the case where a flop reveal may be more successful and reach a wider audience and way more press...

Just curious did anyone ever get ESE Carbon wheels?

Was it not possible to put on the emergency lights and then immediately exit the vehicle and stand nearby? Why keep yourself in danger for thirty full minutes if you can get out and walk to a safer spot. I have been poor enough in college and also more recently trying to save for a Model S...

If it only had a sunroof I would be making an offer.
