Your linked DOE article touches on something interesting; despite hydrogen vehicles only holding the equivalent of 4 or 5 gallons, they are ~2.5 as efficient as a combustion vehicle so would compare to a sedan with an 10 to 12 gallon tank. But the fuel cost comparison is way worse than 2.5x more...

Not uncommon for wholesale pricing to go negative at night, at least at some of the hubs. So with negative pricing, a wholesale consumer gets paid for usage. With that said, hubs around Houston aren’t consistently negative at night, so I assume these free night plans also assume some daytime...

This is correct, each solar inverter is going to have a set of panel strings physically tied into it. So losing that inverter will reduce solar accordingly. The remaining one(s) will keep on trucking though, and charge your batteries / power your home. Same with the Powerwalls. Each...

Or the battery portion of the PW2+. The Gateway will track solar production from all your inverters and manage PW charging based on total available power (along with your time of use settings.) Power from any inverter can be used by any PW2/2+

That is correct. Each PW2 battery has its own inverter and can discharge up to its own limit. Additionally, each PW2+ has its own solar inverter and can invert the panel strings tied into it, regardless of the state of any other one. In a PW3 based system with additional DC packs, one gets...

A PW2 based system has some advantages over PW3 that can make it a compelling option for some people. In particular, parallel inverters and battery banks make it more fault tolerant with (potentially) higher output per installed kWh (compared to PW3 w/ DC expansion). PW3’s chemistry is super...

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing 2012-2020 Model S, 21” Arachnid Wheels. Please add to the discussion here.

My sense is that this will be a transient issue, if it is even one. Once self driving really takes hold, a-la rapid adoption of personal computers or smart phones etc… we’ll see rapid reduction of human drivers. I have to imagine insurance industry practices will play a huge part in that.

I wonder if it could it also be just as likely that they find some new, as of yet unknown, solution that is neither? Some hybrid approach maybe?

This was with the previous Version 11 that had more “visibility” into what the vision system was seeing. I think the general consensus here is that the current end-to-end approach doesn’t easily allow for queries into specifics of what the model is seeing. It seems like there is a V11 object...

I installed earlier today from 11.4. Zero interventions, safety, comfort, embarrassment, or otherwise in 100% of my drives today. The difference from V11 is frankly astonishing. We’ll see if this holds up as I drive more tomorrow.

I put my whole driveway into Open Street Map and at some point it was picked up into Tesla’s database so I can do just that. But flip side was that Amazon, Fed Ex etc adjusted their delivery drop point way up on my property since they can map it (something I don’t want) and now flip out when...

Nice work. Glad you got it squared away.

I took a screenshot of everything because I was absolutely sure that Tesla would screw up something. And ironically everything was super smooth. Go figure…

Here’s where it showed up in my App. When I did the trade in process it asked me if I wanted to apply FSD transfer etc…. It then showed it when clicking on the trade in details in app thereafter.

If you are not trading in, or are transferring from a VIN that’s on another account, I think there’s a manual process where you have to sign an agreement and submit VINs by hand to the sales advisor.

Are you trading in your 2015? It happens during the trade in valuation process.

Not an option for everyone but I went old school and just walked into my delivery center and they were all in there. They were happy to help me move my delivery window out a week to accommodate spring break. Took like 60 seconds.

I just picked up a new S at noon on a Sunday here in TX?

I just traded my 2017 S to a 2024 and successfully transferred FSD and free supercharging (FUSC). I did the transaction under my existing Tesla username in app and everything was automatic. The app picked up that I had FSD and FUSC on my trade in and asked me if I wanted to transfer them. I...

I had a trim piece fall off after a couple of years and a tech came out and put it back on, no trouble. He also did a quick system inspection while he was here.

A shame we can’t do that to the human brain. My doofus weighting is too high; would like to crank that back a bit.

If the standard is someone invoking Article 4 assistance in response to an "attack", I'm assuming he (she?) is referring to Türkiye and Syria in 2012?

It can be a little confusing to the general public how gas pipelines work in this regard, but it's not quite as black and white as your are portraying. At the point the gas is in Ukraine, it may not be Russian from a title standpoint. Title to gas inside a pipeline can trade hands at various...

Because they collect $2B per year in tolls from downstream customers to do so.

I thought you said you were done with Tesla and FSD?

If it was trained from actual humans driving, maybe the phantom slowing is an actual “feature” of the neural net, end-to-end? How many people out there can drive by hand at an exact speed while also paying attention to other driving tasks at the same time? Perhaps one case where heuristics has...

Is ERCOT non profit? Can I claim my grid donations as charitable giving? 😁

Those are amateur numbers my friends. Gotta keep that neighborhood transformer nice and warm.

Direct Energy is going to lose their shirts on my free night hours tonight.

Clever in retrospect. Carry 100 extra tons of oxygen and vent to simulate payload delivery.

Yearly options expire on Jan 19th with a fairly significant inflection point at 225 creating an incentive for market makers to push below that level. I think most downward pressure right now is somewhat artificial.

Uh, yeah, I get that you are emotional about the subject but I can’t see how you are qualified to claim FSD doesn’t have any scenario in any context or any region where it functions well. In fact you even say in your own reply that “influencers” are able to tease out good performance in some...

Power has been down for an hour now in our part of town due to all this wind. The cacophony of generators on our street is hilarious. Under appreciated benefit of Powerwalls.

Mine charge above 5kW each for some reason. Kind of a problem given that I have 200A service and also have 20+kw of Tesla charging. Have to aggressively do time management on everything.

Not enough towels.

My 2017 was late enough into the production cycle to have V3 actually. So much simpler maintenance and the calibration tool works on it, seemingly as long as it starts from zero.

It will move by itself through an automated routine. I recently had a similar issue with my 2017. Just hitting calibrate didn't solve it and I had to manually push the handle to be all the way in and then rerun the calibration and all normal operation was restored. Initially I thought the...

My industry had to deal with this (rate regulated, gas utility infrastructure). Specifically we didn't want to allow entities who held capacity on our pipelines to be able to resell that capacity to 3rd parties. In essence creating a competitive market with our own product. USA Feds stepped...

My gut says it would be way cheaper and easier to sell your 90D and roll the equity into a P90D. Using autotrader.com as a proxy, 2016 90D vehicles around Nashville seem to be asking around $25k. P90D in the same area are asking around $30k. So your price differential to "upgrade" is $5k...

I feel like they need to change their Facts Label in that case. It seems to state the free nights does offer distributed buy back.

Following up here. Green Mointain has a free nights that I didn’t notice and it looks like it has some kind of netting option: AllNighter 24 EFL

Options: 1) Bootleg distillery 2) Growing “greenery” 3) Extension cord to the neighbors and let them sell it back to Just Energy 4) One word: Plastics

These and their other subsidiary, Tara Energy, are the only ones with a buy back component and free nights. You'll have to find another way to monetize your excess gen if you do one of the other companies.

A tremendous amount of civil engineering would go into a final answer, I'm sure. But for the purposes of your thought exercise, I think you can assume the pressure that the Starship hull has to resist to be just the mass of the soil prism over the pipe, times Martian gravity. This study...

Picked the wrong week to stop snifffing glue.

Try using your finger to move the image around a bit. That helps accentuate the 3D features that can look a bit wonky at first on a 2D screen.

Not surprised they don’t know; I’ve encountered this sort of thing frequently. I’ve been just paying everyone’s $100 refundable deposit for the past few years instead of going through the credit unfreeze hassle.

I might be misinterpreting your wording here but this wouldn’t be something to dismiss. If it’s a 14-50 outlet and the outlet temperature is indeed the culprit, this is a fault with the installation or receptacle, and is a fire risk.
