Yes. O.k. None of this says that older Tesla won't work on NACS. I have read long ago that the Tesla protocol is just CCS. Don't have a source. So I'm wondering what makes you think that Model 3 and Ys won't work on NACS. No one else is making that claim.

Is there a source for this info? The Nacs wikipedia article seems to disagree with your statements: North American Charging Standard - Wikipedia

Former Nikola CEO going to prison for 4 years for exaggerated claims. Has Elon exaggerated FSD claims and more? https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/2023/12/18/nikola-founder-gets-four-years-in-prison-for-defrauding-investors/71963463007/

It is not just the satellite map then. The map is google maps. Routing is done by Tesla. Tesla prefers more energy efficient routes, where Google prefers shortest time routes.

Everytime I look closely on the tesla map it says google maps.

Ford drops lightning pickup weekly production rate from 3,200 to 1,600. Cybertruck having an impact? https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2023/12/12/ford-f-150-lightning-truck-production-cut/71888911007/

Tesla employee reports that employees are working hard on getting the holiday update out.

The Cruise accident where it dragged a person to me is proof that current hardware will never be FSD. Supervised FSD yes. Maybe can squeeze it out on freeways. But without being able to sense what is at the front bumper, it will be very very difficult to obtain FSD on current hardware. Need...

Teslascope now says it is not happening this year.

Show what can be shown. Showing the front facing camera would help because it is at a better position than someone sitting low way behind the steering wheel.

In a test simulation: Tesla runs over fake pedestrian that falls off car.

I think I noticed a few batteries on those human powered bicycles too. :)

Off topic? If you want to see thousands of electric vehicles in use:

Elon says FSD V12 won't be beta. Does that mean it will be alpha quality?

I don't seem to get much nags on the freeway when looking forward. Don't use FSD much in the city.

Come on be real. Smart summon is blowing everyone's mind just like Elon said it would. We just didn't know it would blow our mind how bad it would it be. :D

In other words, we will be buying fewer cars once cheap robotaxi service is available.

> Dolgov does not think it is unrealistic that the public will be able to buy a fully autonomous consumer car in 10 years. "a lot can happen in 10 years". Of course. Question is will it be Tesla , Mobileye, Waymo, etc. Which will be the least expensive option? That will likely be the winner.

Elon says FSD 12 feels human.

FSD 12 going out to employees.

Agree, but Waymo still feels slow in deployment. When will they cover 90% of Bay Area or even just the peninsula? I'm still thinking in 5+ years Tesla will crack the nut and deploy widely, likely with more advanced hardware.

Amusing:

Verge article that says chief product officer, Dan Kan resigning. https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/20/23969039/gm-cruise-kyle-vogt-ceo-resign-driverless-bet

Kyle tweets his resignation. https://twitter.com/kvogt

Is that a guess or do you have a source?

I rented a house in downtown scottsdale next week. I'm planning on testing waymo how easy or hard it is to request a ride. Let me know if there is something else you'd like me to keep a keen eye on.

Agree. I expect a significant step back when it is released.

I see some news outlets / clickbaiters saying it will be released this year. I think that is highly unlikely. What do you think? Here is an example:

Where I think AI is going to be missing the ball: I doubt A.I. will adopt our drive to have fun. Won't adopt many of our goals / drive, except what we explicitly tell it to do. Having fun is interesting because it is a source of creativity and innovation. Obviously A.I. isn't going to have a...

I knew close to nothing about Russian Navy, so it was a good primer for me.

Elon has a long history of completely false FSD tweets since 2016. He has been wrong time and time again about FSD. In fact he has never been correct about full self driving (not partial self driving) timeline. If he is guessing he should state that.

We can put humans on a pedestal and claim super specialness, but there will come a day this century when computers exceed in 90% of what humans do. Started in the 1970s when calculators beat us at simple math and has increased each decade.

So many of those these days, especially in the climate category.

Elon agrees that nags need to be removed. Elon likes proposal for removing nags. Elon making his standard two week joke about when FSD V12 will arrive.

When a military killer robot is told to survive, does that give it artificial will? Sentience - Just an ability to imagine ourselves in different situations. Gives us an evolutionary edge. A.I. will have this by the time we reach AGI.

What is your definition of A.I.? Published definitions of A.I. are wide and varied. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/artificial_intelligence

There is a real existential crisis for Putin if Ukraine becomes free. Ukraine is well positioned to expose the cronyism, graft and corruption that exists in Russia, and that will eventually bring down putin regimes.

On Reddit you can read about authors using LLMs to write books. "The theft is of opportunity" or is the opportunity grandiose to all? You can try to put a cork in the jeanie bottle, but it won't happen. Whether it is corporate executives, enterprising individuals, foreign countries, it will...

I doubt you can find a realiable reference for that. If the book was paid for that the LLM read, would that change things? Copyright law allows for derivative works. There is nothing stolen, and once the court cases that have been filed have been settled, we will know more definitively...
