That is a redirection/misdirection. I'm not biting.
We were specifically talking about how the CT is being strongly associated with EM.
You thought there was only one reason. I pointed out there are many reasons and they keep stacking up. CT is tied closely to EM and his "recent" actions and...
FYI, I asked several LLMs (5+) and they all gave long list in 3-5 different categories. Many more than your Nazi salute example. I include Grok in that LLM list and it had 6 categories and 2-3 bullet points in each. Using LLMs is only one example where you can get outside of a Tesla bubble to...
Telling you what I see outside the Tesla bubble.
EMs changes have been very very recent in people's memories by comparison to WWII (80=2025-1945).
P.S. my profile to the left tells you what I drive.
Everything I see once I'm outside of the Tesla bubble place is that you made the choice of the CT (closely associated with EM) *after* EM showed his current self.
Therefore there is no "benefit of the doubt" on your conscientious choices.
In their minds you find it all OK.
Just telling you...
Thanks much for all that. Very interesting indeed.
The above part to me is still fuzzy in that I don't know if a robotaxi is a 'car in the fleet.' eg. in their public purchasable fleet or a specialized Tesla taxi fleet with a different legal defn. Also I think the specialized geofenced (etc)...
To be clear, I'm not at all doubting your expertise here. I rather like your no-nonsense logical post.
I have followed AP & later FSD pretty closely and have used it since my 2016 Signature TMX (ordered 3 yrs before that ... thinking it would be 1 yr or less!).
Here is the million dollar...
Curious. I suspect Tesla will drag their "beta" and "supervised" nomenclature on for many years. (eg. what will be the claimed 'complete' date - years from now). My June built 2017 TMX was prior to HW2.5 but I paid for "FSD" so I did get HW3 and upgraded cameras. The new cameras (along with...
That is unclear. I'm finding references to it in articles and the Munro video.
There is also a question if redundancy is 'required' for unsupervised ("level 4/5") FSD. ala RoboTaxi. [Level 4 Requirements: Level 4 autonomy means the vehicle can operate without human intervention within a...
Tesla/Musk was bragging about their new "FSD chip" and how it had redundancy. That was 100% talked about on the Tesla’s Autonomy Investor Day. Green has consistently pointed out when they went over their limits and could no longer have redundancy. Some people (not necessarily you) have really...
Tesla very recently went down an AI 'company' route. Look at their early master plans (URL). Build expensive cars up front ... then build smaller cheaper cars. You are late to all this only only look at the past year. I can't take you seriously at all with those types of remarks ignoring...
Obviously I was responding to Bridgeboy69 who was talking about Rivian financials like Tesla didn't have questionable ones in its early existence. People bashing Rivian financials are purposefully being naive or just new to Tesla.
So would the 50 kWh pack then just be forced to follow the 123 kWh packs degradation characteristics?
Faster Voltage Drop Under Load: As a battery degrades, its internal resistance typically increases. This means that when the battery is discharging (powering the motor), the voltage will tend...
That seems grossly oversimplified because you have to charge, cool, and deal with different degradation (cell voltages) in relationship with the *varying* main battery ages and miles (degradation) from new to old and getting older by the day.
Will a RE, if comes, just be a battery that is not...
I think most articles or videos early on from the first influences given access were told 50 kWh and that is what my below table is based on (see EPA column). Kyle OOS recent video thinks 40 kWh.
From a year+ ago, Chevrolet already has this idea on their Silverado. Picture below (orange outlined) has just 120v/20a
but there is a 240v/30a version too (GM rep mentioned in video below)...
It was nice that he pointed out the real-world scenarios where the problematic limits could be hit (especially with fatigue).
You glossed over what other truck manufacturers don't think the SAE specs are adequate and test beyond that. eg RAM ~11:10 in
