Refresh Model X & S Waiting Room - AUSTRALIA (Orders cancelled by Tesla May2023)

[Onshore]

So just to be clear, your steering inputs would be sent to the wheels via a reliable and never buggy piece of tesla software. Sounds fun. Does the patent include a trademark for “phantom steering”?

I would think any such system would be in core firmware stored on an EPROM or similar, with at least one redundant backup.

This is how Teslas currently work for core safety systems like blinkers, throttle, headlights, ABS etc.

These are controlled by firmware and are independent of the MCU software. These systems continue to function even if the main computer crashes. Any future fly-by-wire steering actuator would take the same approach. Suspect other manufacturers would take the same path.

From what I have read, the Lexus system has 2 actuation motors and a separate battery, so the steering still works if one motor fails and also if the power fails.

Its not a pathway but a clear road.
To find it go to the rear of the car. From there you clearly see the road. Drive on that road to your nearest internet and search for a new ev, coz the tesla model s in australia is finished.

Can someone remove that car from blocking the view of that outstanding garage door. The dog can stay.

Consider me tortured, Slugga
And in return I offer you

Not that I want to do this in any way, shape or form. I just love the potential and the idea.

and a offer another turn or two on the rack with this

I’m clearly missing the “in” joke here…

That is just nuts. That’s going faster than the high-speed rail in Europe. One tiny mistake going that fast, and you are an obituary.

the “in” joke here…

Soz, Vostok, the "in" joke is our mutual, shared, marked disappointment at Tesla's decision to renege on their sales of Model S to Australia. However, both of us can't help torturing ourselves (and each other) with graphic descriptions of how bloody awesome the now-unobtainable vehicle actually is...

Here's another I dug up to keep the pain going, this was the car.
I think this rates as an 11

TBH, it looks like an previous model S post-facelift

It was the order for the Plaid Plus prior to launch and without the graphics being updated.

 

[ZeeDoktor]

Does anyone have numbers on what that did to the resale price for the lucky few of us owning a Raven?

didnt realise it was your order. Only showed up my end as a car pic, but now shows as more.
That sucks having your order always there to remind you

Having had a good look inside and out of a Plaid Model S two weeks ago at Goodwood, I can tell you chrome delete aside, the Plaid is indistinguishable from the old S. If the widebody kit adds an inch, you can't see it.

I particularly liked the 840+km.

This video shows the differences pretty well, about 1 inch wider on every wheel arch. Its also a few cm lower which makes it look much better IMO.

Inside is quite different.

Have you seen one in real life? The difference is indistinguishable.
