“All input is training data” or “all input is an error signal” is very different than “all input is error”. I hope he wouldn’t misstate that, but who knows. He’s not what I’d call a glowing presenter. ;)

I’m pretty sure I know how the settings are supposed to work, because I’ve been living with TACC for 4 years. This seems to be a problem with the FSD stack. The problem I have is that it DOES automatically slow down when the speed limit changes. And it DOES automatically speed up when (it...

OMG, I'd pay $10K for this. I find I'm constantly fighting the so-called "TACC", because it's neither traffic- nor speed-limit aware. Some of the stupidity I've come to hate: I'll set the cruise just above the posted speed as I come into a new speed zone, and it'll immediately drop the setting...

You will want to look at CRA’s “attribution rules” for gifts to minors. The short version is that CRA by default will tax any income from the investments as though they are in your hands, but capital gains should be taxed in the hands of the recipient. I’m just a random dude on the internet...

I went with option 1, and the Pilot Alpin has been a good tire for me (Calgary & area, lots of weekend snowy mountain trips). I pay about $180/year for two tire swaps and it’s all fine. If I were doing it again, I’d move to an 18” or 19” rim. The 20” is basically an expensive rubber band on a...

You can control cooling, just not directly. Cooling kicks in (as needed) during charging, so one can avoid cooling by avoiding charging. To avoid charging, one can set the car up with a full charge before leaving, and then lower the charging limit so the car doesn’t try to maintain 90% over...

You really don’t want the car to be doing a lot of cooling in an enclosed garage… there’s nowhere for waste heat to go, and it’ll just wind up being a really inefficient space heater. Have you checked the optimum temperature range for the pack? I suspect that’s documented somewhere or even...

Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m only familiar with AP/FSD on my Model 3, so it’s useful to hear about the relative merits and drawbacks of other systems. i think there are a few of us still on the fence about the MY vs something else as our next vehicle, so please keep sharing these...

Yep. And if wishes were horses, this beggar would ride. ;) Your note reminds me of the first time I took a trip in my M3P. It’s amazing, nothing like it, clearly this is the future. It’s an awesome feeling. I was about to trade that car on a 7-seat MY, but I put it on hold after the...

I was in exactly your spot last week. The radar removal seems rushed and the lumbar excuses are flimsy & pathetically unbelievable IMO. So I told the delivery advisor to put my order on hold until next quarter. They unmatched me from the VIN and now I’m not stressed at all. I’m not suggesting...

Tesla has always been at war with Eastasia.

These aren’t mutually exclusive: some people are angry *and* not buying the car. I was in line to trade my M3P on a new MY, but without radar I have no confidence it’ll be safe for dark snowy mountain roads - that’s a must, because this will be my ski vehicle. The lumbar thing is just adding...

If they only get a percentage of the revenue, why economic incentive would they have to sell a vehicle? They could maximize revenue by owning all the cars themselves - why share the revenue with Average Joe? It's not efficient to use their capital to make vehicles and generate revenue for...

This is interesting math. If a Tesla becomes capable of earning $30k/year for the owner, one presumes that Tesla will then stop selling cars and start owning robotaxis. Anything else would be a breach of their duty to maximize shareholder returns. In other words, you’ll know Tesla has FSD...

My M3P cost me $2K to add FSD. I don’t think I got great value for that. At $10K, it’s laughably bad.
