Used Tesla Acronyms

[CAR3NUT]

Does anyone have a list of the Acronyms used in the Tesla Threads. I get so lost reading the Threads my head starts to spin, could be part of the old age and not keeping up with the current generation.

Since we're on this topic, anyone know what the "SIR" sticker on the ESS stands for?

Supplemental Inflatable Restraint - aka Air Bags.

By law (US law, at least), the component which houses the controller for SIR must be clearly marked. I would have guessed this controller would be in the PEM or a stand-alone module, but this indicates that it is within the ESS.
