My opinion is Twitter is a holy grail type of treasure chest of conversations owned by Musk to now use to train a "Human AI" such as Optimus ROYALTY FREE. The vast amount of data he now owns and has disposal to is just about unimaginable outside perhaps the government. I really am surprised...
With some word play I could still see it doable. Kind of like how insurance cant charge you more for being a smoker so they instead provide a discount for being a non-smoker. Exact same outcome but a different play on words.....
Example: All CT's have a 1 year warranty. That warranty can be...
Clocked at ~7-8mhz back then for the Motorola 68000 processor in the original Amiga 500/2000 models. I use to repair those back in the day at an authorized repair center.
I liked the software hacks folks had that could control the floppy drive servos/motors so finely they could make them...
I would run 4 gauge anyhow in anticipation that one could be charging 2 vehicles at the same time in the future. Look at it this way, you wont be saying in the future I wish I ran 6 gauge instead, whereas the opposite is likely to be more true. Obviously if the expense is the issue then you...
I would not be at all surprised of the CT takes a huge hit on towing range. Mostly because, the CT itself is about the most aero of any pickup ever built. While this is awesome as a pickup it also means it is going to take a larger hit in range when towing something non-aero in nature. Any...
The above scenario makes perfect sense *when* the CT production lines are running at full scale like say 1 year after the first one rolls off of the line. When they first start trickling out though, batteries will doubtfully be a constraining factory and it will be the production line itself...
I would have no issues whatsoever if they implemented a policy that for orders over 1 unit that a 1 year requirement of ownership be instated less the warranty be nontransferable. This would cut back on the scalpers but still allow legitimate people or business who need more than 1 CT still be...
As I see it that is exactly why 800v has some value, lower heat, and thinner cable required. Unless there is going to be an Optimus at every stall to take care of it and blow on cables to keep them cool, LOL.
Would the biggest advantage though be in the charging speed using 800v over 400v? Not a big of a concern if you have a 100KW pack or less but when you get into larger packs, I could see the benefits. Note: even though as mentioned in the earnings call that a $100 per vehicle savings is...
I would not at all be surprised if the MY 4680 is sandbagged. I could easily see more 4680s installed in the MY than required just as a cautious approach and leaving some head room in case of unforeseen issues. If no issues arise, you might see some of those reserves released as future OTA...
In reality 800v does make sense just like retiring 12v for the other components in a vehicle. I would day for the future 800v makes sense. When does Tesla want to join the future, then or now is the question?
A question about switching from 400v to 800v was posed to team Tesla. Elon and team mentioned it was not worth it to convert the existing vehicles over to 800v for a $100 per car savings. They went on to say 800v would be more useful for heavy load vehicles such as the Semi and CT.
So gleam...
:) Those are all traits of the condition previous referred to as Asperger's Syndrome. Highly intelligent yet still fairly socially functional with applied and focused effort.
The issue with any of the magnetic wiper solutions posed here have 2 major flaws as I see it.
1. Strong magnets that allow the blade to glide over the window with out a track to fully lock it in pose the issue of during a crash that the wiper becomes a heat seeking missile just waiting to...
It would be cool if for every 95 CT's that rolled off of the line that they went to FIFO orders and then the next 5 went to any reservation in the line randomly. Rinse and repeat. That would at least give some folks some hope, LOL. They would feel like they got a Wonka golden ticket. :)
