Seems fine. Push the button and say "Honk the horn" 🤣

TBH, I am surprised that they are going at all. Safe trip!

Wow! Sensational video - spellbinding, even though I knew what happens in the end :) Thanks very much for sharing!

https://cleantechnica.com/2024/04/12/teslas-for-india-at-last/ RHD cars to be made in Germany. Initially, Model Y only. Maybe a Model S one day? The Indians deserve one! (and then maybe us, too...)

Doesn't happen so much in my current car, used to turn it off in the car when I first sat in it in the morning

The new seats look sporty- Wonder if there are any other changes (cough camera cough cough lighting cough wheeze)?

Is this when you drive away from home and the car changes from WiFi to 4G? I had the same prob in my old S and found that having wifi off for a minute when leaving made the transition / acquisition of broadband much faster

Agreed. like a cranky flock in a tree. Not a single consistent tone.,

I think probably not, as it is not a volume seller. But I wish they would- it would fix the door, handle and hatch problems, but maybe not worth their retooling costs. I suspect Taycan is nicely built, and the new one looks like it has fixed ALL the issues with the old. Just need to pony up a...

One more word against hinges and I'm reporting you

Sitchair! That's how it's done. No such thing as too much light these days

🤣 I try to keep it simple, like 1/8" (Or mm if your up for it 😇)

Thanks. I think inconel is extremely difficult to work, and combining it with ceramic must be a trek. So 250K sounds almost aspirational to me. SpaceX continues to change the face of launches to space....

That sounds SUPER high-tech, but SPECTACULARLY expensive- do we have an idea of the cost /engine??

Take it and run, I say Edit: Ooops! I see i was too late...

BIWYSI

Will there be titanium grid fins on the discarded Super Heavy booster? Asking for a friend....

🤣🤣🤣

Mummy used to call me that when I was four! Hoping all of Sorka's predictions are true- and the damned thing comes DownUnder.... (sorry Sorka!)

Ambient lighting is a waste of electricity, but the bumper camera is a boon when USS is unavailable. {what I REALLY want is 48v architecture so they can put the steering wheel on the RIGHT side....]

I'm getting a tattoo of this on my left forearm

Well-played, Sorka

Yellow zip tie is an interesting choice! Is it a structural member ie is it the bit that pulls out the bit you have to Remove Before Flight? Seems a little on the fragile side GREAT photo, btw!

LOLOL Contradiction in terms? Or at least a hemioxymoron??

" ..landing strut performing its primary task, absorbing first contact with the lunar surface to preserve mission integrity. " What an extraordinary use of language.

And efficiency. Hard to beat on those two. And the S is pretty.

Precisely.

Obsessive Compulsive Trait (OCT). An enabling disorder. Helps me do a better job.

No, I saw no such thing, but having just seen some F-22 videos, it suddenly made me think: why don't we see them on booster reentry?

Bullseye! Great video all the way down :) Does anyone remember seeing a vapour cone via the booster camera view during any of the reentries we have watched? I know we hear a sonic boom sometimes but it seems to go unnoticed on the booster itself- no extra rocking or anything?

Great question, and there is no great answer. Porsche looks fab, but the prices are utterly insane. Double the price of my Model S.

Cool- thanks for the link!

Nice to see someone with a proper command of English.

Is that lunar lander actually funded by a footwear company? That's kinda cool. Odd. But cool.

I teach Poiseuille-Hagen pretty much every week. Lots of assumptions, but the maths check out :)

iIt was this phrase that had me confused. Gotcha , @mongo and @ JB47394: The pressure doesn't stop the slosh, but it drives whatever propellant overlies the tank exits THROUGH them to the engines. And pretty fast, apparently!

Does high gas-phase hydrostatic pressure do ANYTHING to keep liquids still? [I am assuming that this is a gad phase above a liquid phase, not separate containers era, a distensible bladder, oroother mechanism} I would have thought water sloshing at 1 atm will still slush at 5 atm? What am I missing?

Great coverage 1. were they new cameras? Seems brighter / sharper / more colourful to me 2. wow-scene at almost exactly 1 hour into the NSF coverage: the initial decel burn of the booster stops while on-camera (ground view) and you get a sense of just how insanely fast it is travelling even...

That's a TINY window!

That's right. I need to wash off a lot of speed while in the upper atmosphere so my feet don't get too hot on the way in.

Is it a different shape to the old? Love the horn! Thanks for the image.

Great summary- the sociopolitical changes parallel the launch numbers pretty well. Spacex makes the USA launches into a steady stream at the end...

If Spacex gets me there, is it feasible to come back by parachute? (I know I will have to hold my breath for the first part of the descent)

Capacitive coupling with capacitance sensors?

Agreed - some stunning shots of booster separation and its initial boost back as well as some crazy re-entry attitudes. The last few seconds look like a faked movie scene as the grid fins deploy!

Nice to see a launch when we are all awake :)

The one-speed gearbox is an interesting change. Some have argued that the Taycan's two-speed is a major advantage, now we see that in truth it's more appropriate to pick horses for courses Price in Australia is surprisingly good- but we don't know exactly what trim levels / extras are on it.

Stalks Revised yoke Radar Front camera New hinges 4/5 of these would next a large increase in Tesla sales, I reckon. Anyone who owns an old Tesla would become interested in a new one, and any Tesla neophytes walking in off the street would find the test drive far more to their liking.

Many cars can compete in one of these respects. Can you name one that competes in multiple respects at anywhere near the price? Serious question- I'm ready to buy.

Wow, so many different experiences of wipers! Mine are the best they have ever been, but I will be shocked if they don't get worse after the NEXT update!
