reply to the original post ‘23 MY never used it; used regular autopilot a lot on local roads and highways; got the free month i think it’s pretty remarkable…it’s a little cautious i would not pay 12k for it…but i would pay something like 4k… people seem to be pretty critical… i live in a...

i not an expert at these graphs but it doesn’t seem like a fixed efficiency at all operating points, eg it’s not a perfect system with a linear response to the demanded acceleration… and the motor is a relatively simple device whose efficiency is best generalized and characterized in the...

but you no empirical proof of that… this statement is not necessary true: “This is talking about accelerating to the same speed (for example at an on-ramp). If the average speed about that same, that largely reduces that contribution.” you do not know if this multi system car that includes...

i was hoping because the gen3 firmware was upgraded so the app can read it with both connected to wi-fi whereas the prior method required the putting the the gen3 into access point mode…i queried pseg…

but as a theoretical physicist (you brought it up not me) you know that real world non-thought experiment empirical measurements need to be modeled using the actual system one is studying… 1. we do not live in that perfect frictionless F=ma world 2. the battery connected to motor with...

my question: this credit was not available for gen3 connector cause it could not connect with pseg… the 4.25.0 app and latest connector firmware allows the app to connect to the app…is this a step to using gen3 with this usage credit? to bring to the capabilities of chargepoint or juice box...

the new tesla app with latest gen3 connector firmware allows tesla app to get data from the wall connector i could not join a program with power company (pseg) to get lower rates for non-peak home charging… the reason was: gen3 does not connect with the power company… other chargers like...

i disagree that it does not help to be a serious engineer? listen it’s great that your enthusiastic and clearly love this stuff (as i do) and yes i am a being a bit of a gray haired @sshole…but these are really hard questions…

let’s be realistic…tesla announced a new model 3…and with the same battery and motors it’s gets a nice bump in range just from aerodynamics…they probably modeled it with fluid dynamics with serious computing power… the same for computer controlled battery charging… how realistic it to google...

after the pandemic there was a huge supply chain issue and a relative scarcity of supply… prices went through the roof… MSRP of non-tesla stayed the same but dealers were charging 65k for cars with a 52k msrp… if you bought during that crazy period…you paid a premium that is now gone…

i just got an email from tesla… they just announced a universal wall adapter that can be used with both types of car adapters… available in october https://electrek.co/2023/08/15/tesla-universal-wall-connector-charging-world-on-notice/

the wall charger can do what you want…it’s called “access control” https://www.tesla.com/support/gen-3-wall-connector-access-control

i gave up on using the apple music on tesla…too cumbersome…

as far as i can tell…carplay is largely just an interface that projects your phone onto the cars screen… if for example you use T2C to initiate a podcast or phone call or getting driving directions…and you pull the power from the T2C …everything keeps playing without a problem… essentially you...

i had an issue: all the connections were in place but the box just didn’t connect to carplay i returned it and got a new one…worked right away… if it really is hooked up properly you have to question if the box is malfunctioning
