    Neural Networks

    If you're interested in Neural Networks and Deep Learning, can code a bit but do not have a PhD in Maths :p, there's a great free online course by the Data Institute (University of San Francisco) and Jeremy Howard (ex- McKinsey, Kaggle GrandMaster, President of Kaggle & more). It's called "Deep...

    Neural Networks

    Python has some great open-source libraries for "AI". - For data pre-processing, like numpy and pandas. - A robust Machine Learning library, Scikit-Learn. - And on top of that, the two major open-source frameworks today run on Python : TensorFlow (Google) and PyTorch (Facebook), plus a...

    Besides self-driving autopilot, why would Tesla need AI scientists ?

    Greetings @Tam, @mblakele & @S4WRXTTCS ! Many thanks for your detailed responses, these make a lot of sense and confirm what I was taught (in theory, not in practice/IRL) regarding both the AutoPilot/Self-Driving function, which I worked on with CNN's applied to Computer Vision, and...

    Besides self-driving autopilot, why would Tesla need AI scientists ?

    I'm studying, as a part-time student via MOOC such as Coursera/Udacity and Fast.ai, the current SOTA (State Of The Art) techniques in Machine/Deep learning. Many students/instructors refer to Tesla (and other Elon's projects such as SpaceX and OpenAI) as a cutting-edge "real-life" applications...

    EU Market Data Visualization: student project, feedback welcome !

    This is great feedback, thank you all. Before I answer in details: I realize that one key-feature of the chart, the mouse-over function on country names that transforms the circles into actual sales figures, isn't obvious at first glance. I'll add a more direct legend. Thank you ! I started...

    Jantes et pneus neige

    TACC (regulateur de vitesse+): attention aux deux-roues non-détectés

    En gros, oui :cool: et avec prudence comme le souligne Fredje_B. @CHL: dans les bouchons du périphérique parisien avec les voitures qui coupent les files et les deux-roues qui se remontent en convoi entre les deux voies, c'est assez stressant. Cela s'améliorera certainement avec les données...

    Bonjour, Pour ceux qui une Model S "V2" avec le TACC (Traffic Aware Cruise Control ou régulateur de vitesse adaptatif au trafic), soyez attentif si vous suivez un deux-roues: le TACC risque de ne pas le détecter et donc de ne pas maintenir la distance de sécurité. Cela m'est arrivé une fois...

    Tracking P85D delivery thread

    Thanks :) Indeed it turns out the silver paint combines with the rims and the chromes in a sleek/subtle manner, it feels like the whole car is "silverish". Plus it's also less demanding in terms of cleaning/washing than darker colors and I'm lazy ^!^ E.

    Hey :-) I don't know for Le Mans but for Paris, there's a french legal issue with installing them in underground parkings like hotels or major shopping malls (no space available downtown in the streets): no electrical charge above 22Kw is allowed underground. The compromise -so far- would be...

    P85d delivered today (france) : Charging problem at home

    Johan, I can't help you directly, being in Paris but here's a few thoughts. In France, there is a known issue with the 220V plug (cf. LuckyLuke post above) so Tesla probably placed two copies of the plug in the cable bag (I had that when delivered in July-14): one works the other one doesn't...

    Elon "About to end range anxiety"

    Hehe, oui mais non :D My point is TomTom or Nokia Here aren't anything close to a revolution like GigaFactory or SuperCharger. They are simply obsolete vs. WAZE (owned by Google) over here (EU), when it come to real-time nav data. It's a bit like Elon came to you and announced "We have...

    Elon "About to end range anxiety"

    Very true. And he could also be referring to commercial people transportation via taxi/limos/Uber/Lyft with Model S and X. Many fleet owners have -at least- two drivers per car, working 10 hours shift and returning to base for cleaning & refuelling, which any ICE can do. Basically they need a...

    Or the expected parity of EUR/USD could be the biggest risk for EU sales.

    21" vs 19" Wheels on P85D?

    If you are driving on open road and are able to detect a difference of performance between 19s vs 21s rims, you are WAY past the line of safe driving imho. This is more of a track day topic, like ceramic brakes, slicks & co. So as stated above, it's basically about cosmetics & money for us...
