I can totally see how much she cares about climate change. It REALLY shows.

Then buy the modules for $850 each on ebay.  13.6k plus freight

That’s funny, because Tesla is aware of a similar issue with their cars that have older Hardware 2.0 and 2.5 Autopilot. There is a fix, it’s simple, and it’s integrated into HW3 and up. They even know specifically which types of airport radar do it.

And Sonic the Hedgehog.

So, I don’t know where other automakers are at with autonomous systems, but I do know a couple things about Autopilot and FSD. It’s beta. It always has been. You are a beta tester.  You are involved in development.  Go you.

Sounds like you’re proposing a Lada CommieCrate. That’s been done. Third hand, I believe it eventually came here as the Yugo GV.

I’d like to know the cell level capacity. Also the discharge limits. There HAS to be a trade-off somewhere. Pack voltage? What’s the CAC? On a practical level, if the car is mostly stock facelift S, how do they make it play nice with firmware? The firmware process is highly protected, and though I’ve heard that it has…

It’s understandable that the lack of charging infrastructure may be a concern, but buyers of new EV’s need to be aware that they can buy an adapter and register their vehicle with Tesla, and even their non-Tesla EV can use the Supercharger network, providing it has the ability to DC fast-charge.

This sounds like an HV fault, probably isolation or contactors, which would explain the alerts. The thread doesn’t mention whether LV power was lost. The car computer, as well as the electric parking brake are 12v systems, and the parking brake doesn’t engage unless the vehicle is put in park or the door is opened in…

Autopilot bothers you somewhere like every 45 seconds if it doesn’t detect your hands on the wheel. I want to know how many of these incidents included a steering wheel weight. Also, this is a 3, which means it probably has footage of the selfie cam it was supposed to be using to monitor driver attention, unless the…

I hope they shred it. And the rifle. That’s the kind of behavior that gets you a “prohibited-person” card, with free failed NICS checks for life.

Bummer here is when/if he has a legit HV battery failure, and on this pack there are many possibilities, he’s back on the hook for it again because 8 years/unlimited miles ends when you mod the pack. Bad luck to start with, but an OE shop is required to do repairs that preserve warranty coverage. Independent shops…

I hate campers, but I’ve driven in California, and based on that experience, I’m inclined to believe that the Tesla is in an HOV lane. If it’s an HOV lane, he’s not camping and I have no hate.

Ok, a unique poor decision on wheels is almost always British.

I didn’t say that to you. I wouldn’t say that to anybody. What I DID say, is choose for yourself. If you have no issue, and have reason to fear COVID, by all means, go get your vax series. Take your mother and grandmother with you. But don’t go around thinking you or anyone are the one to decide what is best for…

I believe in vaccination, it’s one of the things that make out modern lives possible. But those other (massively successful) vaccines took far longer, and for that extra time, they are exceptionally safe. This vaccine is rushed, and for that reason, I consider it’s safety to be dubious at best. Time will tell. As I’ve…

I’d absolutely LOVE to be wrong, though.  I think everybody would.

And Fauci is batting 1000...

I’ve seen this movie. This is always how the zombie apocalypse starts.

I’d still say Guinea pigs remain to be poked. The normal amount of time it takes to research, test, and approve the vaccines we all had and generally consider to be safe has historically been 5 years or more. It’s been 9 or 10 months.
