I suspect Tesla is planning to produce the RoboForm platform as a model 2 with steer/brake/accelerate -by wire. That yields the flexibility to quickly revert production to/from model 2 or robotics with minimal impact on production/cost

Blue cruise?

There is no sense in alternating in the current situation; better to be direct,

My loyalty took a dive when I traded on my M3 for a new MY (with hw4). I was to say the least quite disappointed especially by the fact that I had been blindsided by Tesla! Loyalty coming back up now that I just downloaded and installed 2023.26.11. Much improved over the version I had on my...

"...You have a real hard time selling wide vehicles of any sort to people who live in old cities..." Have to look at height, as well. I recall having issues with American vehicles (and loaclly rented vans) in the underground parking garages that are so common in Germany. Seemed like I kept...

My stepson is a tournament bass fisherman. He tows his heavy boat to and from the tournaments. He was really interested in the CT, but was understandably concerned by the fact that most locations for tournaments' boat offloading were nowhere near superchargers, much less mush civilization...

I gave that some very serious thought but stopped cold when I realized I couldn't transfer my FSD from my (to be traded in) Model 3 to the (to be purchased) Model Y. Bummer. Folks who like to trade up every three to four years will not be happy campers.

I have had it try to stop at a stop unexpectedly when it spotted the back of a stop sign on an adjacent road. Apparently, the octagon triggered it (regardless of the fact that it was not red and had no writing on it

Other instances come to mind: (1) Yellow diamond sign with embedded (reduced) speed limit sign in it; (2) school zone sign requiring reduction of speed to 20mph "when light is flashing" or during certain times of certain times in the "school day"; (3) prompt reaction to change in speed from...

Gave that some thought and, without a good health insurance backstop, realized I was possibly one colonoscopy away from ruinous medical bills and likely bankwuptcy

how many cyclers do we see in Chicago today?

I am hopeful that the rosiest of scenarios for the Robotaxi prevail. After all, I would hate to be delayed in a taxi ride while a cop tries to write out the ticket for speeding in a school zone or the car has to wait out a moderate rain storm. (I have regularly encountered both with the latest...

FSD has come close to getting me a ticket several times in school zones, twice mistaking the line of legally slow cars in that school zone as an opportunity to move over to another lane, pass up the "slot traffic", and accelerate to the "speed limit". Until this is fixed, Robo Taxi will not...

On average, I believe you are correct. However, to get to the absolute facts, you would have to conduct a proper seance with a median

On a foggy day or dark night, I would think I would miss the radar just a little bit

I believe it is referred to as a Kardasian bottom

Fisker will soon become the passenger car division of Nikola

Don't forget sciencefictonium

Who was the masked man with the silver Pullets

Maybe, but it could be equally lively that the combined entity, in trying to out-Elon Elon, could go tits up!

I see a brisk market for refurbished Yugo badges in your future!

Don't forget Arkadelphia, AR, either! "who wants to buy a car that has such a short range that even at 6-minute charge you’d be stopping so often if taking a trip" - someone with a prostate issue

You're not too far off - think "wealth tax"!

I suspect the politicians (in their finite wisdom) are talking about 500k charging outlets (analogous to 500k gas pumps). Averaging out, that would come to 50k "facilities" with 10 charging positions each. Not unreasonable

Hate that hackneyed phrase "reach out to ..." (which has become synonymous with "continue to pester ...")

Can you say S T E R E O T Y P E S ?

Provided the Tesla is not running in Navigate on Autopilot - that automatic "pass up the slower cars" thing will negate the performance improvement from drafting behind a box.

At least cat gut is still useful for stringed instruments

Safe from Elon the Serial Snake Snuffer

Nerdy here, too. Been retired 15 years now and hope to spend what it takes to expand my garage so the Cybertruck will fit into it!

If you need any help quitting, you can get it from Austin's newest motivational speaker, who just moved to Austin from Fremont and is living in a van down by the river:

That's 1640 hrs Central or, for the aggies in the crowd, that is when Mickey's little hand is lust after the 4 and his big hand is on the 8

Possible range violation by private plane flying too close to launch site

bad link

If I am not mistaken, the only dealerships that will be "gotten rid of" would be Cadillac-only dealerships. I do not think the Dealer that sells multiple GM brands will be adversely affected, other than that they could no longer sell and/or make money on the Caddys anymore.

Now that his regular account is down the toilet

California isn't a country . . . yet

Who gets to clean up the poop, the pee, and the puke after the ride?

Just lay off of the stuff in the Little Brown Jug

The greatest challenge in IT is to get two independently developed computing systems to communicate precisely, unambiguously, and accurately their most intimate thoughts with each other

Business Insider needs 3 orders of magnitude more proofreading ability: "His 2030 "sum of the parts" valuation gives $254 per share to Tesla's core automotive sales category, which CEO Elon Musk has said will reach 500 million units this year."

I agree the flashing lights will work for FSD. Many of the school zones have only text on the sign that reads like "During the hours of ...... when school is in session" or smilar - i.e., no flashing lights. Some sort of text reading and interpretation would be needed. Not arguing that it...

Problem with schol zones is that the speed limits are a function of both time and geography

Not ready for Robotaxi until it figures out how to handle school zones!

Is there a specific share price that S&P will use to determine the proportion of Tesla that is included . Does "inclusion" lock in a bogie that is dollar valued? or based on number of shares? When is the target value locked in (after which all know how much thet need to buy)?

If MAXQ is not well-managed, the probability of many unplanned separations increases.

I suspect that the delay in adding future gigas is more due to a lack of managerial bandwidth than lack of capital.
