While I agree with you on a rational basis, Elon has proved he is anything but. FSD full autonomy by when? I think we’ve passed two or three dates he’s promised now. Vision (something that can’t see through fog/clouds/dust) is better than radar (something that can)? If the world followed Elon, planes wouldn’t be able to fly anytime there are clouds, much less fog or rain (only vfr, not ifr). The supercharger network worked for cars so why not semis?The issue with using it as a sale factor is they don't have a four year lead in installing Megachargers, and it'd be Tesla vs every single other manufacturer and user and government spending...I don't think that's a walled garden that benefits Tesla. It's bad enough with CCS.
Just two or three? It's WAY more than that.While I agree with you on a rational basis, Elon has proved he is anything but. FSD full autonomy by when?

You are too nice. I’m a cynic when it comes to these type of things. First pictures of semi charging ports and mega chargers have version 2 and then when version 3 is finalized and announced it is made known there were patent issues with version so the shape of the connector had to be changed. Coupled with Tesla not using the worldwide standard CCS on its own passenger cars (in us at least) looks like they want the connector to be theirs where they benefit financially from each one installed. And like the supercharger network, they want it to be a reason to buy Tesla semi over competitors.
It would be the same as a car. But many trucks dont have the extended downtime.Have these chargers been tested in extreme cold? Does it take longer to charge the semi in cold weather? Say the driver is getting back on the road and is going to charge up but it's 15 degrees below zero and the batteries are cold
Ummmm…aircraft radar isn’t used to see through cloudsWhile I agree with you on a rational basis, Elon has proved he is anything but. FSD full autonomy by when?

It’s not? So anytime there’s a cloud in the sky pilots just assume there isn’t a plane on the other side? I know most planes are identified via transponders but radar is still used for the same purpose.Ummmm…aircraft radar isn’t used to see through clouds
Wow you are misinformed.It’s not? So anytime there’s a cloud in the sky pilots just assume there isn’t a plane on the other side? I know most planes are identified via transponders but radar is still used for the same purpose.
What is the relation between clouds and radar effectiveness?
Recently, India's prime minister Narendra Modi commented on how cloudy weather can help a fighter jet escape from radar. Is there any technical reasoning to back these comments? Here is the quot...aviation.stackexchange.com
Pardon my layman’s use of the term radar. Apparently its wrong. Is my analogy correct if you swap radar for whatever you professional pilot use?Wow you are misinformed.
I have been flying professionally for 25 years.
radar is used to SEE clouds, specifically clouds with height moisture content,a.k.a, thunderstorms. It is not used to spot other aircraft nor terrain. There may be military systems that do this, but nothing civilian.
None I am specifically excluding radar altimeters. These are extremely primitive radar devices that simply provude distance to the ground while at low altitudes such as when landing from cat II or III ILS approaches. I doubt many would classify these as radar.
Not a problem, and my apologies if I came across antagonistically.Pardon my layman’s use of the term radar. Apparently its wrong. Is my analogy correct if you swap radar for whatever you professional pilot use?
So when you have low visibility, do you use “vision” to correctly steer your plane?
The whole point is that Elon and Tesla have decided a camera that can only see light or absence of light is the best bet for an autonomous driving platform when no other similar company on the planet relies solely on vision for autonomous driving/flying/etc.
Actually electronic "cameras" can see more than "light" or "absence of light". They can sense many different non visual frequencies that the human eye can not detect such as infrared for one. What frequency ranges Tesla detects I do not know but I'm quite sure it is more than just the visible range as FSD seems to do a reasonable job(?) at night.Pardon my layman’s use of the term radar.
