Apparently the MMD got too predictable.

Seems similar to an issue I've had since like November of 2022 on my MYP (purchased in Dec '20). It's very had to get status on the car, and voice commands effectively never work. After many rounds of "wait for new SW" I had a tech keep it for 3 days, (tear it apart looking for damaged wires and...

I would guess that it wouldn't be so easily spotted as a Cybertruck. Especially if they are mostly testing the internals- it could be in a model 3 or y looking car.

They need all 6 engines - more thrust means less gravity loss while fighting out of the well. Additionally, only the central 3 sea level raptors can gimbal (steer). Long term the plan is actually 6 R-Vacs and the 3 gimballing sea level engines. Again, more thrust for lower gravity losses and...

Since sometimes there's some TSLA benefit to SpaceX success, Elon: Was just informed that approval to launch should happen in time for a Friday launch

At least in a house, you can't (legally) put a NEMA 14-50 on a circuit rated for less than 50A. If you put a 50A receptacle on there you must expect loads of 50A.

That's a NEMA 14-50. So 50A at 220 (or 240?) plus those are 15/20A 120V outlets.

So now that we've tapped the lower BB, we can recover to the 50 day MA, right? right?

Can you melt (and smell) the fake clutch by dropping it at 20k rpm?

People are thinking the split in GVWR is due to the extra motor.... based on the initial info, it's pretty likely that the difference in GVWR between the dual and tri is actually because of the bigger pack(many pounds) not the 3rd motor(150lbs?).

ooo that would be nice if it were electrochromic. Make it super dark on a hot sunny day but nearly clear at night or in winter. Some types, at least, only use electricity while transitioning, so a huge win for climate control needs. No idea if it works from a cost or vibration tolerance...

No, not once have I heard an ad - but I don't use TuneIn. I use the default streaming (Slacker??), Bluetooth, or Apple. none have ads. If you are getting ads it's from the provider, not from Tesla. In your case Oracle is paying TuneIn to interrupt your day with an ad. I'm very sure Tesla got...

Sorry for continuing off topic here... Yes, Uhaul is pretty much the exception (and you pay $0.60/mile). However try getting a crew cab to bring passengers from Uhaul or try getting something that can tow from Hertz, Budget, Avis, Enterprise, Alamo, Dollar, Fox, National, Sixt, Thrifty, etc.

Also not to mention it's actually really hard to find a rental that's equipped for towing (tow hitches are typically removed even if stock and definitely not wired for brake controllers) and even then you're probably uninsured and violating your rental agreement.

An add for a car they don't make? why a picture of a ~2019?
