Here's the picture of the stalls on the lower level. There's also a sign that says the public Superchargers are not available. Your guess is as good as mine as to what the holdup is.

Ouch. Yeah look into replacing that panel. Swap out the 14-50 receptacle for a 6-20 receptacle. Get the Tesla 6-20 adapter. I went through a panel upgrade myself, money well spent. Btw, I’m no expert in these types of panels at all, but is that really giving you 240V? Normally a tandem breaker...

So you have a NEMA 14-50 surface mount receptacle (the black thing in the first picture) connected to a 20A circuit with a 20A circuit breaker? Why? That actually isn’t up to electrical code. Normally you’d use a NEMA 6-20 receptacle with a 20A breaker. But yes, if you used a Tesla 6-20...

So what kind of plug are you using off your Tesla Mobile Connector? Presumably it isn't the correct plug for your 240V receptacle and you are using an adapter in between? Because a Tesla Mobile Connector would normally set the correct amperage if you aren't using a third party adapter in between.

I just drove by it right now. There was one car connected via the charging cable in the handicap spaces. And on the level below with the six stalls there was these giant cones in front of the stalls. I suspect they are testing it right now.

It’s just a pet peeve of mine that people come to this forum, ask a question and then bugger off never acknowledging anything. Meanwhile, forum participants give random advice that starts arguments, tangents and the thread is 3 pages long based on the one question. Wait long enough, and some...

He’s probably using some kind of adapter and manually setting the current. OP, could you describe your set up in more detail? What kind of receptacle are you using? Adapters? Hard to give good advice without knowing all the details.

Don’t you dare change the title! I think it’s hilarious! Yes, reusability is so hard that you need to look at the entire rocket design including engines. You can’t outsource the engines and then think, huh, what do I have to do for reusability?

And the Original Poster was never heard from ever again…

Another west coast launch tonight 8:14 PDT.

Webcast starting in 1 minute.

AJ is a very legit analyst.

FYI, you should only be charging at 16A on a 20A circuit, that’s the maximum rating for a continuous load like EV charging. Is it a 120V circuit or 240V?

It'll work with the Tesla J1772 adapter.

No. I recommend buying and installing a dedicated EV charger. Do you have a dedicated 240V receptacle or were you thinking of charging from a 120V household receptacle?

Wow, GTO orbit is pretty far out there! The NASA announcers were blown away seeing a live view of deployment. They had never seen a GTO deployment before.

Yeah you almost certainly have the new lithium ion 15.5V battery so a 12V boost might not work. Either find a 15v DC power supply or call for Tesla mobile service.

Yes but boosters aren’t re-entering from orbital velocities so you are kinda of asking an apples and oranges question. You want human rated orbital capsules not sub orbital boosters.

Yes 6 gauge would allow you to draw more amps in the future for a different application but geez that's a heavy cable. I have a 30’ 6 gauge 14-50 cable and I can barely lug that around as it is. Note that charging only requires 2 hots and a ground. Getting a 14-50 cable adds an extra useless...

The Tesla Encinitas Sales and Service center is open as of today, June 24th! Met a nice employee there who was showing customers the models and doing test drives. The service center already serviced about 30 vehicles. While the destination chargers are now working, he told me the Superchargers...

Yeah, I like the the idea of a Tesla extension cord the best. But is Quick Charge Power still in business? I see that this product is out of stock on their website with old information: ELONG™ Extension Cable compatible with Tesla vehicles

Yes this is the answer. Also Tesla has supply contracts for the 18650. In the end the form factor is a small factor. What matters is the cell chemistry and that continually evolves regardless of form factor.

Sigh. Those were predictions. Not fact. And Tesla may still reach those targets. Or not. But calling it untrue is a complete misunderstanding of the situation.

Reminding all west coast viewers and folks in Arizona too. Should be a good show in about 35 minutes.

You’re going to have to build your own. Use 8 gauge SOOW cable like this Southwire 100 ft. 8/3 600-Volt CU Black Flexible Portable Power SOOW Cord 55808843 - The Home Depot Are you not using your dryer receptacle?

Starlink already has business services which have service guarantees.

Cool. It's a distribution deal. Means more business revenue for Starlink. A typical corporate business customer will use a single provider like Comcast for all their datacomm links but Comcast has to sub contract links to far flung remote offices since they won’t have fiber there. This allows...

THANK YOU! I was going to say the same thing but couldn't figure out how to say it properly. You nailed my sentiments!

Two different sites show this heading out at 8:45PM PDT, not 9:45pm. (Next Spaceflight) (Launch Schedule - RocketLaunch.Live) and 3:45 UTC is indeed 8:45PM PDT.

Went by there today on Friday. Saw a pest control truck leaving, so that's a good sign that they are likely getting the finishing touches done. Superchargers still look like they aren't turned on. Saw 8 Teslas parked on the lower lower lot (big parking lot used for car inventory), along with 6...

Correcting myself here. According to an earlier post from Elon, the inference chips are used during the training step to generate the loss number. So they use the actual production inference chips during training as part of the back propagation algorithm.

Yep the Tesla Wall Connector. There’s nothing cheaper at the same high quality and feature level. The electrician can install it on a 60A circuit or a 40A one. I think the Model 3 standard wouldn’t be able to use the full 60A circuit (long range would), but you could install one anyways for...

I just don't worry if charging extends past 6am. My charging almost always finishes before 6am. Do you have a slow charger?

At this point NASA is wondering if it really needs redundant lift…

Sounds like Tesla will be bringing a lot of inference chips into their data center. Why? I think it is to do extremely fast validations of new training builds. Instead of running a new build in shadow mode for weeks in their fleet they will now be able to run a new build on a large cluster of...

Yeah only a company with a culture of cost plus could have designed something so complex, non-reusable, and expensive. It’s ridiculous.

You do? I just set mine to charge at midnight when my super off peak starts. What’s hard about that?

If he did IPO it, I very much doubt he’d be CEO.

" five separate leaks in the helium system that pressurizes Starliner's propulsion system and the failure of five of the vehicle's 28 reaction-control system thrusters as Starliner approached the station." Yikes. There's no way this bucket of bolts will be cleared for their scheduled slot...

Wow. Only 4 out of 15 Falcon9 boosters have less than 10 flights. That’s some serious reuse!

Does the iOS 18 beta have RCS suppprt?

My Gen 1 V1 works fine with my brand new Model S.

One wonders the price difference between these third party chargers and Tesla superchargers.

Your picture link didn’t work but yes I also saw a lot of cars there today too. Opening imminent?

Not really. There’s a four year old benchmark that five year old humans can do that the best LLMs cannot. And now there’s a $1M prize for beating it. https://arcprize.org/?task=3aa6fb7a

assess piloting using the forward window? Well they had to manually fly the ship to dock so I guess this means they have to manually undock as well. Hopefully that’s all it means. Sounds like their software can’t handle anything other than pristine conditions and the ship is very much not in...

I’ve always done it the way you used to do it and it works fine.

What was it before?

Yeah that’s what I heard. What does simple majority voting mean?

Absolutely OK. It will degrade your battery a *little* bit faster. But so what. Use your car as you need to and enjoy it.
