If that is the case every car company is short sighted given all of them are having problems with supplying repair parts, and there is zero indication they have placed priority for repair parts over parts for new cars.

Not following your logic. They don't have enough parts to over both car sales and repairs, which means they have a supply shortage just like everyone else. No way any car company sacrifices new car sales to prioritize repair parts, as repair is not a main profit generator (nor does the stock...

They are arguing the opposite, the ones that rely less on the grid needs to pay more money to maintain the grid for the times that they use it. Basically as long as you are connected to the grid, the more usage you offset, the more you have to pay (that's where the per kW AC measure comes in)...

With the standard lug wrenches that come with most cars, you literally are supposed to use your feet to stand on the flat end if necessary to loosen the nuts. Given they are about 10 inches long, that means to loosen 129 lb-ft, which you need 160+lbs on the other end, which pretty much means you...

Looks like Russia has no shortage of artillery shells. I have read about the rifling in the barrels of their artillery probably wearing out, which will reduce accuracy, but I guess they are making up for it in volume.

If the hole is on the thread (not near sidewalls) and isn't too big to plug, theoretically you can drive the full life of the tire as long as the plug holds. On my old car I've driven way longer than that on a plugged tire. However, that old car did not have a TPMS, so when I got lazy on...

If you got a new one, that would be the reason. The port in the glovebox should still work however (for dashcam, music, or whatever). Note there was also a bug in recent updates that cause the usb drives to constantly unmount. The 2022.16 update was supposed to fix this. 2022.16.1.2 update is...

Besides from the point about the cell connection, I'm not sure you are correct on the remote control function either for Cruise. I think you are making a general assumption just because that is how Waymo operates, that it applies to all the autonomous vehicle companies, which is not necessarily...

It's acceptable because government agencies simply don't have enough personnel anyways (it's done the same way with FAA too, they do not have dedicated personnel to evaluate everything, that is why Boeing was able to do self certification). The other problem is that the government generally is...

Note there is a coolant loop that runs to the computer. There can be a leak there that leaks into the glovebox area and it'll drip onto the passenger footwell. Autopilot, Processors and Hardware – MCU & HW Demystified – TeslaTap That said if it happens every car wash, that might be something...

Right, the FSD Beta testing with Tesla's limitations actually ended up far more safe than any of the doomsayers predicted. If there was really an immediate danger I have no doubt either CA or NHTSA would shut it down in a jiffy (especially with the step up in action with the current administration).

Cruise PR says they used both in the statement linked above. Depending on what the bug was however, it might affect remote retrieval too and make it not possible. The anonymous Cruise employee said the issue was such that it required manual retrieval though. Not enough details to tell either way.

You made me LOL. These exact same claims have been made since 2013. The big automakers were supposed to have overtaken Tesla already before 2020. That obviously didn't happen. Volkswagen Will Be The Biggest Electric-Car Maker In 2018, It Says Now with heavy battery supply constraints as well as...

The early L2 systems from major manufacturers were jarring too (ping pong between lanes) and it was suggested it keeps people more alert. But now most systems have been improved to smooth things out, so while there may be some truth to it, I'm not sure it's a major factor. Using cameras to...

Yes, the previous issue was internal light leakage.

As mentioned, it's both. One of the recent updates reduced the power of opening or increased the sensitivity to obstructions to the trunk (likely because there have been cases of it being damaged when when it is not properly aligned) which is why even with some resistance it stops. The 2022.16...

The first graph is not a power vs time graph, it's a power vs SOC graph. It's a bit confusing to cross reference the two due to the x-axis having different units. That said, up to 20% SOC V3 should be beating CCS according the first graph, but that doesn't seem to be reflected in the second...

Yeah, greasing the strut does help. Probably white lithium is the best one. Liquid based ones like WD-40 or Superlube oil seem to only work temporarily (guess it dries out). Issue was only intermittent for me regardless, so not as annoying as something that happened daily. I did just install the...

Yeah, I agree that probably Ukraine is ok with nobody on it for now. When the Russians were on it that meant an effective blockade on grain ships.

Taping over the camera with a black tape and turn on the blinker. If there is light leak it will show up as magenta when the blinker is on. Just a very quick and easy way to test (without needing pitch dark conditions). Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

Are you sure you have the D model actually installed (presumably though you didn't get to see the actual part before the installed)? I remember up thread, the UK did not have D models available yet, so the SCs are still installing older ones. Did you do the black tape test to confirm if it...

The 34 stall (+6 L2 stations) Geary station in SF was $795k. 16 are urban chargers, but the other 18 are V3. I know for a fact SF project valuations include everything (not only labor) although it's only a ballpark number (does not include any cost overruns later in the project). Supercharger -...

An A23 12V cell (or two in parallel just to be safe) also works and may be a better option as it takes up less space and can be stashed in the tow hook area. However the issues people talk about are error messages that pop up if using LFP for permanent solution as opposed to something like...

It's both, from the very thread you linked: "The PCS sits on top of the battery and controls AC and DC charging as well as supplying 12 VDC". In this particular application you care mostly about the DC/DC portion as that is what handles a bulk of the 12V supply/charging. It is rare when you are...

You are right, it's NMC. I presumed given it was CATL that it would be LFP like most packs, but it's not.

There are aftermarket LFP batteries like Ohmmu, but they need to play the cat and mouse game in terms of a BMS that is able to fool Tesla's BMS into thinking the attached battery is a good condition 12V lead acid. You can't just easily plop in a generic LFP 12V battery and expect it to work...

The bit rate is about 5Mbps (0.625 MB/s). Each one minute clip is about 38MB. There are 4 cameras. So when you do a Save Clip (which moves 10 minutes of footage to that folder), that is 38MB * 4 * 10 = 1520 MB each time. With Sentry mode it will keep doing that for every event and can fill up...

Important thing is they didn't. If they wanted to switch, Model 3 would have been best time to switch (I said this back then before Model 3 even came out). That's exactly what they did in Europe.

They don't check emails. Have you not tried the chat support (do it during business hours and try different options until you get one that gets you connected to a rep) or contacting your SA or just going directly to a store? Customer Support

Yeah, Hong Kong is experimenting with measures (like name registration) to prevent scalping and the response is a mixed bag. The venues are skeptical as it might reduce demand. The performers and fans usually are supportive. Ticket holding for VIPs and guests as you describe was also an issue...

Or they can just throw in an inexpensive parking camera system and solve at least the curb problem (and likely the bollard problem too) and give a bonus of being able to do pull in parking (instead of back-in being the only viable way or needing cars or walls on both sides and using ultrasonic...

For now, unplug and plug the USB drive back in and it will come back. There was a bug in recent updates that causes this. 2022.16 update is supposed to include a fix for this.

Except it's not in this case, given Teslas are curbing wheels when in FSD mode. Not saying it's not impossible to fix this in software, but having parking cameras are a trivial way to address it. It does have an accelerometer, but that is not enough for dead reckoning, it would also need a...

Tesla's provision only allows them to cancel your order, but Tesla has no recourse after you take delivery and the transaction is over. Ford however seems to want to have a clause that allows them to sue you if you try to sell the car within a year (similar to what they have already done in the...

Might not work so well in this case given the much higher current (not 50kW limited like CHAdeMO adapter), so you would need much thicker cables (or liquid cooled like some CCS are). The chained adapter on a security cable is much simpler, although obviously much less elegant. Just throwing it...

If it was all through a private sale, it should stay with the car. If the third party dealership bought it at an auction (and it went through Tesla's hands) Tesla may strip all software options from the car. People have been burned on this for FSD, although I have not heard of acceleration...

Here's one way a third party station in Taiwan was able to chain a public CCS adapter to a security cable: 特斯拉原廠 CCS1 to TPC 轉接頭登陸台灣，就在台泥 NHOA.TCC 充電站 (花蓮 DAKA)::DDCAR 電動車 Tesla will switch to CCS2 (from proprietary connector) in Taiwan starting Q3 2021 Was thinking how it would be possible...

Does that show up the whole way? I noticed your curbs are angled upward (not 90 degree) and that might help expand the range a bit, because it may end up still reflecting some signal from the sensors back up even though it is low.

I'm not sure I'm understanding correctly, but 8 ft to the side is pretty far way from the curb to be making a tight right/left turn. That would guarantee that while the car is doing the turn, that camera can't see the curb unless you turn really wide. And humans also can't see the curb while...

Thanks for the update. Hopefully that fixes things. Intermittent harness issues tend to be the hardest to diagnose.

I mean the Camry is far away from the Tesla (not that it is far away from the curb). That means the curb becomes invisible to this camera well before the Tesla crosses into the intersection, so if it was making a turn it would also be invisible. Again here is picture of when curb disappears...

I updated my post with screenshots earlier into the video when the curb on the left is still visible and immediately after it becomes not visible. The Camry is much further away. That seems to confirm the curb would be invisible to this camera as you are making a right turn (or left turn from...

It's too late by the time the back camera sees the curb, it needs to see the curb as it is heading toward it. A lower camera in the front can do that. Isn't the situations described of low speeds while making a turn (a bunch are at right turns in stop signs). I don't see how a low camera in...

But due to how high it is mounted and how the wide camera additionally has the entire lower part of the view blocked by the camera housing, it can't see the actual curb that is next to the car's front wheels in the actual moment (the rear facing cameras does catch the back however). It's simply...

Given how long Cruise has tested all over SF, I would be more surprised if they can't expand city wide. I don't think it really says anything about scaling until they test in a city they have never been in before at all and see how long it takes to get everything up and running smoothly.

The ultrasonic sensors are blind to curbs or low barriers that are below about 8 inches: Model 3 Owner's Manual | Tesla Plenty of people with curb rash or have scraped the underside of their front bumper on a concrete block to show for it, that the sensors did nothing to warn about.

That's not footage from the center camera, it's some other camera he added to the car that is much wider.

You are assuming a zero distortion (or near zero distortion) lens, which I doubt any of the cameras being in use for ADAS use. Most of the FSD curb hitting (including the sole "crash" into a bollard) involved a slow speed hit (a bunch of them happened at stop signs) that a parking camera could...

Not true at all, you still need to map them separately because your sensors are not positioned in the exact same place. The relative points between the two sensors can change depending on the the relative positions of the object with the two sensors, so a simple static mapping does not work...
