    Poll - Will FSD be approved in China

    From Bloomberg news, Musk is in a surprising visit in China as of Sunday, meeting top officials to get FSD approved. Reminded me what Shanghai giga factory did at 2019/2020 pivotal moment in TSLA history. In some way, that factory saved Tesla and served about 50% global sales. Of course...

    Poll - Who really need a model 2?

    Model 3 is great and really good looking in many ways. It is a small car. Model Y is best volume and best $ selling model any car model in 2023. Few cares about S and X these days per sales number CT is a flop most likely. Semi is for light potato chips load only so far. Model Y already at...

    Software Stack diff - AP (TACC & AutoSteer) vs FSD

    As I am not going to subscribe FSD after free trial. I tested AP today locally. On highway, AutoSteer is ok for me, I actually prefer I have full control when to switch lane. So I don't need FSD. On suburban local road, AP is much worse than FSD. It won't bother me much as I seldom use AP...

    Thesis and Poll - Long TSLA Short auto insurance

    FSD 12.3.x on clearly marked non divided suburban roads is indeed amazing. What does this mean for other industries as positive disruptor? About 40K+ people killed on road each year. And there are companies that thrive on such human tragedies, ie, insurance companies and hospital groups...

    FSD is amazing. So what is your action next. I am interested about mass market take rate. Vote by your future action, not by your heart of how much you love it.

    FSD - basic stat and proposal

    Below are some very stat about FSD: 1. Musk said there are 300 million miles driven under FSD. US total miles driven is about 3 trillion miles a year. So FSD is about 0.01% total miles driven. 2. There about 2 million Tesla on road in US. There about 200 million automobiles in US. So Tesla is...

    Model Y - Fatality - NHTSA FARS Data Just Released for 2021

    I am at loss why real world fatality data released by NHTSA FARS recently is not supporting the claim that model y is a much safer car from fatal accident perspective. I would guess such gov data for 2021 is fairly accurate given the nature of such accidents. From real world gov data, model Y...

    Torque distribution between front and rear for dual motor model Y

    I am curious what is factory torque distribution for dual motor model Y. I would guess it is 50/50 or 40/60 front vs rear. If it is 50/50, there is no need for tire rotation. Thx

    Part of charging cable 20F warmer

    I have a chargepoint home flex charger for less than 2 months old. It is perfect. However I noticed that under 48amp charging, part of cable (the section right above LED) is quite warm (90F) vs rest of cable (60F to 70F range). I would not understand the physics here except a guess that...

    Advice on hothole hit (rim and tire surface )

    This happened 2 day ago and just saw it today. There is pretty bad dent on the rim and surface rubber was cut and peeled open. No pressure loss so far and the car drives no difference. Any suggestions for the tire surface and rim fix? Will insurance cover this type of minor fix as I may have low...
