Integrated air inflation system? Hidden under the wheel cover.

I had bought some aftermarket wheels from Unplugged Performance for my plaid, so I check their website frequently for interesting items. They have a Cybertruck page where they plan to offer accessories in the following areas: off-road/overlanding upgrades wheels and tires Bumpers and fender...

Central Texas transit leaders eyeing ‘automated vehicle’ roadway | KXAN Austin Central Texas transit leaders eyeing ‘automated vehicle’ roadway

I’m curious how many ppl are taking advantage of this end of year incentive because they are over the income limits for the 2023 incentives.

Yes, that sounds right. A bicycle being misclassified as a pedestrian for awhile or perhaps a motorcycle being misclassified as a bicycle, both having potentially wildly different velocities. Thanks for clarification.

Good summary, but your point regarding 'adversarial training' may be incorrect. Rather than have one NN compete against another, I believe 'adversarial' refers to the the dataset, in which for example, a very subtle change (to the eye or camera) in an image might cause a NN classifier to...

Preparation for opening up the network to non-Tesla owners? Lots of EVs in Austin, not all of them Tesla’s.

$TSLA $718. Sold one weekly covered call $710 strike last Friday. You’re welcome.

Sandy Munro did a comparison between Tesla and non-Tesla EVs. The Tesla used significantly fewer microcontrollers. Here it is. About 34 minutes in.

Re: 400-500 strike puts. It might be possible that some traders who are short puts at a high strike are buying weeklies at a lower strike price to reduce the margin requirement of a fully naked short put position.

In today’s Tesla Daily video, Rob shows the plaid test sticker with a 405 mile rated range using 21 inch wheels. In the design studio, the range for the plaid with 21 inch wheels is only 348 miles. Could a range increase be in the works once the official EPA numbers come out?

What about folks who had an order in for the plaid+? Were we supposed to cancel our order online and reorder the plaid? I was waiting for the event to find out more details. Haven’t had time to call Tesla to find out.

Agree on small range bump likely. Hope to see announced: higher max supercharging rate or at least less tapering of charge rate as SOC gets above 50%.

Agree. Also in conditions called “freezing fog” which is a rare but sometimes thing here in Texas. Defroster on the Tesla kept up at full,power, but only barely.

Winter storm here in Texas. We’ve had a bunch of short 5-minute outages during which the powerwalls took over. Some surrounding areas had hours long outages but not in our neighborhood yet. Nevertheless we are ready.

Yes, but as Bilbo said, 'That's not the point’

Ok am I seeing things or are we up to $894 AH? Tesla Model 2 in China rumors? update: now back to $852.50. Ok- what just happened?
