As a Machine Learning Engineer, EDDs are only as accurate as the ML model behind them, which are often pretty accurate.

As a Machine Learning Engineer I also think that the QA folks tend to make statements like "how anyone in their right mind signed off on it", while knowing absolutely nothing about the system itself. :p

wait... this is not my team's internal Slack channel...
As the head of Product Management, I am finding it hard to find ML engineers who can confidently say their models are pretty accurate. what do you think is the accuracy rate for the predictions here?

Vaughan Ontario….they’re coming in
 
That’s awesome. I had a similar situation with the El Paso store being an hour from me, but I’ll be picking up in Colorado Springs instead. I asked about picking up in El Paso, but was told it was only possible if I was going to register the car in Texas. I could have done that if I wanted to, but New Mexico is way cheaper. I’m paying ~$35 a year right now.

Damn, I thought we had it bad with delivery location. But I guess only certain locations are set up to register in certain states?

Registering in Wyoming is going to be a joy: registration fee is going to be in the range of ~$900 annually, plus $200 for the privilege of registering an electric vehicle...
 
Available for pickup.
I got my VIN ~2 weeks before I actually could touch my car.
Sometimes the vehicle doesn't pass final inspection so the EDD is pushed back to give them time to diagnose and fix issues, or worst case, you get another VIN.
thanks, thats what I thought but in my overthinking it mind, I could read it either way lol. I am glad the middle D stands for "delivery" and not "ship" :)

I agree that QAs don’t always know how the systems works especially when they are limited to black box testing. Not much to say about how well the EDD is working without knowing the expected behaviour.
Saying “how anyone in their right might signed off on it” is mostly my rant as a consumer, with the assumption that the EDD should have some level of accuracy. especially as my EDD has been changing daily since 4/25, it feels like a lazy placeholder, which I suppose is part of that “feature” instead of a bug🤷‍♀️
 
OK, here is some good hope on "Headlights" topic... but as usual lets take it with a grain of salt untill we really see it in-person...

Per my latest converstion with the Tesla advisor (she was super nice on providing the info), upon asking about the Matrix Headlights she initially provided generic update saying your vehichle (based on my VIN) is coming with all updated package like Li Ion battery, Ryzen, heated wipers etc. so it should have the latest headlights. Then I mentioned, inspite of having the updated package few cars (recent VINs just before mine) does not have Matrix Headlights. She then put me on hold literally for 5 mins and went on to check something....then she came back saying I really dont want to hold you up until I get the information so let me text you once I get it. I said ok and disconnected.

10 - 15 mins later the text arrives... "Hello :) i have confirmed your vehicle is coming with the new matrix headlights - xxxxx from Tesla" !!!

BTW my VIN is 246xxx.

Not really going to hold on to this... but it certainly makes me feel happier and thus sharing too :)

Ouch. Texas is trying to do something similar based one some articles I read a couple of months ago. The only negative with New Mexico has been that they don’t allow direct sales for cars in the state. Which is weird because there is a store in Santa Fe, but I think it has do with Tesla getting around New Mexico’s laws by buying an old casino on an Indian reservation and renovating it to their current store.

This is the first time I am hearing of ML engineers interacting with QA -- ideally it would be an ML engineered production model, wrapped in a callable service that a web-dev would further wrap into another service callable either via backend or front-end and then the QA would bother the SWE that you cannot have EDD field as None when its clearly supposed to a 4 day EDD window -- and then the SWE would go to the ML engineer and be like what's this 0.0000001-4e score casting to a NoneType and ML would be like, who knows it probably one of the hidden layers in the neural net

All the while it was Elon Intercepting the network packets to make people refresh their screen 100 times a day.

isn't wyoming a deep red state? Since when did deep red states start taxing the free folks all these crazy tax dollas
