I must disagree. I have two friend who looked into having chargers installed in their condo buildings. It was very expensive. Installing high power electric lines to the parking lot was expensive, and since everyone will want one at the same time, and it's cheaper to do all at once, the new...

I agree with most of your post, but I think there is something the Canadian government could do a lot more of to help with the switch to EVs, namely subsidize the installation of superchargers in the northern regions of Canada. I'm on the northern edge of the supercharger network and...

First, I said the opposite of the implication that Tesla should provide FSD for free. Second, some apparently "free" safety features are the police, fire, and military services, fluoridated drinking water, vaccinations, traffic control devices and structures. There are many services that the...

Another way that governments get their money is by reducing costs. At the high cost of a motor accident, governments might find they actually save money by buying FSD safety features for everyone. As for all taxpayers being angry at Tesla owners, well, they might be angry at the government but...

There was nothing in the original post that suggested that Tesla should *give* away their system. In the interest of public safety and economic value, governments could pay Tesla for the FSD safety features for everyone. How much should a state or national government pay Tesla for this?

Too many acronyms.

Thank you for the reply. I agree with you. I wonder if the input date to the FSD trainer includes the location of the driving being analyzed, and a geopolitical map of N. America. In this case the output code could cause behaviour that varies depending on location.

I disagree that the experience might be worsened in one of the places. The samples from both cities might include local information that makes the driving better in both places, using the local information.

If the agreement between Musk and the Board was arrived at improperly, then a better remedy than rescinding the contract so long after its terms were carried out would have been to require Musk and the Board members to pay damages to the shareholders according to the amount of damage done to...

I thought you were subtly suggesting that I make a YouTube video on a future road trip north of Winnipeg! I just checked the Plugshare map and there are many more level 2 chargers than there used to be, so the situation has improved. Still however I estimate that 3/4 of the parts of Manitoba...

I don't really understand your remark, and the YouTube link sends me to a page that asks if I want to start a YouTube channel.

I want to point out something I've posted about before: it's not possible to drive a Tesla north of Winnipeg in MB. No chargers (almost), let alone superchargers. I expect the situation is very similar in SK and AB. As things are I have to warn potential Tesla buyers, don't buy one if you...

Yes, that's the standard advice, for burning candles in a car, up here in the Great White North. At least one window.

I drove by there tonight. There is an empty auto sales building with no signage, and several Tesla vehicles parked at the side. Photos follow.

Why?
