I think all the Teslas sold in Mexico are from Tesla U.S. Fremont factory. 7-seat model Y was available in Mexico in 2021-2022 and my friends wanted to buy in in 2022Oct but they did not have enough money saved at that time (no approval from bank). Then in late spring 2023 Bank says loan...

Yes, the third row seats (#6, #7) would be used for the children (current ages 4 - 8). My friends already tested Model Y 7-seater and verified the extended family (and with needed child seats) would fit comfortably and the the arrangement should work for next 6 years. Hopefully by end of 6...

NO Model Y 7-seater NO Tesla for them.

Have two friends in Mexico that I have been talking to for years about buying Teslas. Interest rates are always high in Mexico (now 12%) even if you make a large down payments. Both have been saving up for two years and are finally ready to buy. BUT BUT now the Model Y LR 7-seat is no longer...

Tailpipe pollution is bad for health of your children and all other children in neighborhood. Studies suggest ICE air pollution causes more damage to us than even the 40K+ killed and medically consulted injury 4,800,000 in accidents every year in U.S. BEV SUVs are safer than ICE SUV due to less...

When Tesla started selling cars there was NO federal subsidy. Tesla did not ask for the subsidy, GM did. GM is the one who begged for the subsidy to keep selling EVs. Just like GM insisted on huge subsidy before making EV1 then trashing that investment (including production equipment) taxpayers...

Yup Tesla sells more EVs in one month than combined annual EV sales of GM/Ford/Chrysler.

Yes, I know that. I went to U.S. schools my whole life. U.S. history and government was my top subjects. U.S. laws are introduced by House of Representatives. Today the President is of the same party. It is reasonably to assume the two groups talk to each other and there is plenty of media...

Yeah, TRUTH !!! GM killed the electric car and GM has done the bare minimum and has not lead anything. Some of Elon's biggest competitors ( Ford CEO & VW CEO) acknowledge what he has done. Tesla is a U.S. company. Teslas sold in U.S. have higher U.S. content than average GM & Ford cars...

Tesla Full Self Driving vs. Drivers Education Student Oct 28, 2021 Cf Tesla

-------------------------------------- From looking at Dr. Mary (Missy) Louise Cummings her primary background is human/user to machine interface design (jet pilot to control panel, etc), aerial autonomous drones, and some AI, BUT she is not a full-time researcher on FSD or for autonomous...

Based on user reports part of the reason no one is at EA brand charger is that they are broken.

Since millions of drivers successfully complete the job without having collisions despite not having radar or lidar sensors, it seems like radar or lidar sensors are optional and not mandatory for successful completion of the task. It is pretty simple. Why is more technology needed to explain...

For over a hundred years, good human car drivers successfully gauge distance of other high-speed vehicles good enough to have few accidents all without having radar or lidar.

swapping out current fender side cameras is not enough because the location is not good enough for direct 90 degree views. Need 90 degree side cameras at the corners of the car.

Yup, good drivers do all those things if necessary. Yup, this is exactly what bad human drivers do that causes accidents. Very unsafe.

This is still a problem when trying to make right turns too when left view is partial blocked by blocked by walls/fences/trees/parked cars. What common done slow crawl of car into traffic lane with ability to reverse quicky Severely angle the car to right more to get better view to left. **...

Yup, fender side cameras & b-pillar cameras need self cleaning Now that Tesla neural network has pseudo-radar, radar or lidar are not needed. Yes, more cams. Need 90 degree self cleaning side cameras at each front and back corner.

Yup but it even more than that human drivers also turn their head & eyes to the left 45 to 90 degrees so the left view is center of you FOV. This increases the accuracy of what you see. Analyzing image pixels at the wide angle front camera's FOV edge will be less accurate. Does the Tesla Vision...

There are times where even doing right turn is a problem. To safely make right turn you still need to see left for a certain distance. Need this in the front too. Need to see cross traffic when front camera views from side of vehicle are blocked by walls/fences/trees/parked cars without having...

1966 GM Electrovair II Electric Car – GM Could Have Been The World Leader In Electric Car Technology By Mike Gulett April 2, 2013 https://mycarquest.com/2013/04/1966-gm-electrovair-ii-electric-car-gm-could-have-been-the-world-leader-in-electric-car-technology.html

Need this in the front too. Need to see cross traffic when front camera views from side of vehicle are blocked by walls/fences/trees/parked cars without having to peep out 1/3 the length of the car. The wide angle camera on front windshield is not enough because 1. the wide angle is too far...

Something that has been bother me for a while is FSD drivers who make videos with children in the vehicle. Even though driver is monitoring the car and might take over there is inherently a delay in response that in a split second situation that could make difference between there being an...

Same with Ford F-150 Lightning. The chief Ford EV engineer at the reveal said the project started 3 years ago. Today there are no F-150 Lightning shipping to dealers because Ford does not have a factory yet either. By June 2022 it will have been 4 years. Also the Ford Mustang Mach-e is not even...

Did anyone see info on total weight of the Ford EV truck? Does it weigh as much as the GM Hummer?

Waymo acknowledged that all "no human in driver seat" Waymo trips have remote operators/drivers that can take control of the car at any time. So we do not know how many Waymo trips had interventions or how many of the 100k miles were really completely autonomous. How complex were these Waymo...

Looks like the Model S stuck the right edge of the manhole cover. It would help to know how much the right side of the manhole sticks up above the ground. Is there anyone who lives in the area that can report back with this info?

Yes, in sunny climates, need to charge EVs in day when sun is shining. Most workplaces should have EV chargers in parking lots.

Elon said radar would not be in future Tesla cars so Tesla highway Autopilot will not have any radar input either.

The burnt Model S was not lifted onto a flatbed truck. It was dragged on the ground. There are several videos on Youtube showing the Model S being dragged on the ground and up the tilted bed of tow truck. Two Dead In Self-Driving Tesla Crash After Hitting Tree, Burst Into Flames | NBC News...

The original 911 was for trees being on fire not a car. The fire department did not know people were in danger.

Yes, a survey today would find very strong brand loyalty today. But right now it is all theoretical to these legacy truck buyers. It is at least 1.5-2.5 years before most will even see a Cybertruck in person. Once their neighbor's Cybertruck blows past them, and out pulls them, Cybertruck...

OK, but does it take a long pry bar or will any small hand-length pry bar/ screwdriver do? Safes have fire ratings as to how many minutes it can protect contents. The rating also depends on the type of material the contents is make off (paper, plastic, mag tape, diskettes, usb drives, hard...

With sentry mode video storage USB stick being in the glove box, the strength of glove box becomes even more important. How secure is glove box? Can thief pry open door or cut open bottom/back? What material is the glove box door made of (metal, plastic, other)? What material is the glove box...

Even 500mi tri-motor Cybertruck might not be enough in some cases. Weight might not even be the most important factor. Using a 50% towing factor is an average, it could be much worse or it could be less severe. You might be missing the most important factors winds & aerodynamics. The weight 10K...

Yes, you can probably figure out a way to mount a snow plow but a big issue is whether doing so will void the Tesla warranty. $40K-70K is a lot to lose. Need Tesla to make official warranty statement and include mounting guidance.

1. Not all edge cases are important. A solution might not even be a priority. 2. Seeing more occurrences of a specific edge case may not be needed. One occurrence can provide enough data for a solution. 3. Solution of a specific edge case can solve edge cases not yet encountered. My point is...

Edge cases are things that occur less frequently in the real world but that does NOT also mean they are harder for the NN to solve. Most might quite easy to solve.

Yes, sure wait for the "legacy" manufacturers. They are sure to catch up & dominate the market. What significant percent of the market does "legacy" manufacturers Kodak, IBM (PCs, workstation, servers) Nokia, Blackberry, Motorola, Sony (Walkman) have today? In a couple more years, Tesla will...
