Both Tesla and EA have chargers 80 miles from Vegas in Mesquite? And something like 14 locations combined between Vegas and SLC? They do...now...They did not several months ago when my coworker attempted this drive. At least, none that we

Portland to Santa Clara is a relatively flat drive. LA to SLC is not, plus a fully-loaded Model 3 in extreme weather (at least, extreme for EVs) and the need to charge multiple times on the way due to charging anxiety related to the lack of

No, they were definitely not lying, and its one of the things that turned them from a Tesla enthusiast into someone who won't be getting a Tesla ever again (ongoing issues with AP/FSD being the other). Assuming infinite fuel/

A co-worker drove to SLC from LA (abut 700 miles) in their Model 3 a few months ago. It took over 24 hours, including charging along the way, and they had to pre-plan their stops to make sure they could make each charger without their batte

This. If Tesla presented its numbers the same way that Toyota and Ford did, they would both have higher profits-per-car than Tesla despite selling many cheaper cars, due to the huge markups on their real moneymakers: trucks sold to U.S. cus

Those aren't retirement costs, those are current costs as listed by the OP as reasons he can't save for retirement. Car payments were calculated based on a 50k new car, so if he's paying more than that he definitely has a lux

To be realistic, even in the Bay, 300k is more than livable if you're targeting a middle class lifestyle with kids and retiring at 65. If you can't retire at 65 on 300k a year, you're not living a middle class lifestyle

Aircraft grade aluminum is 2024 or 7075, not 6061, because those alloys are more resistant to fatigue from repeated pressurization cycles. 6061 is more commonly used in automotives than in aircraft.

For instance, there was a recent Indian derailment that you barely heard about here in the US It was only covered in the NYT, LAT, WaPo, Chicago Tribune, WSJ, USAT, NPR, CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, NBC News, and CBS News....just to name a few.

It means an actual pixel stored in data (such as in a key frame) rather than a generated pixel (such as in an interpolated frame). The amount of data generated for interpolated pixels is usually the bare minimum required; for some devices i

I was wondering about that too... It appears that they have two boards: a flat board where the images are limited to the reflective area, and a bent board (which has a flap that lifts up at an angle) so that you can get an actual 3d visual.

The entire point of Congress writing laws and delegating the specific rulemaking to agencies is so that informed experts can make the laws, with input from affected parties and the public, instead of uninformed legislators. And note: Congre

DOTS is no longer experimental as of 2023; it is now a version 1.0 that can be used in production, though it is still under active development. Best practices are still being figured out, but since ECS is all about performance, best practic

Tesla claims it has 8 cameras, all around the vehicle, precisely so that it can handle cases like that. The fact that the car, despite having 8 cameras, all around the vehicle, still failed to notice the motorcyclist is a damning indictme

None of the cars using the automated systems were involved in fatal accidents If you mean Tesla, that is definitely false. Mostly famously, the Bay Area crash where autopilot was conveniently disabled seconds before the car crashed into

It's even worse for Tesla if you normalize the data, because the rest of the industry also has advanced driving functionality with far fewer accidents or deaths. It turns out that one of the things that radar is good for is emergency b

I agree, the Fucked Up Deaths are insane. For point of comparison, the entire rest of the auto industry, worldwide has fewer advanced driver deaths than Tesla, despite millions more cars on the road with advanced driving functionality.

While I'm not a lawyer, I'd be very surprised if a case couldn't be made with this behavior. I am a lawyer. I can say, with 100% certainty, that this case would never make it to trial. It's unlikely that Christian woul

I did read the article. And I listened to the recording. As a businessperson, Christian should know that the salespersons statements were not a binding promise, since there was no mutual consideration and those statements were not reflected

I'm not a libertarian, I'm a lawyer, and I'm looking at this from the legal perspective. Reddit's Data API TOS has always allowed it the right to start charging for access. That it chose not to do so until recently was

No, it's not the definition of tortious interference. Reddit did not force or induce Apollo to break a contract with its own customers. Apollo unilaterally chose to do that because it could not afford continued access to Reddit's

For a lawyer, not doing the job one has been paid for is not just incompetence, it's considered malpractice. In this case, the original malpractice of failing to check the falsified cites was compounded by submitting falsified opinions

BPA is not a plastic. BPA is not a resin. It is a precursor to resins and plastics, the same way that water is a precursor to sea water but is not the same thing, even though sea water is 96% water by weight.

Literally true, the number of Teslas getting into accidents in the LA area is legion; by automaker it's probably the single most represented car manufacturer in the Los Angeles area.

by gamblor956 3y ago
In Los Angeles, it's easy to tell when a Tesla is using AP or FSD: is the car driving erratically, like a drunk teenager on a learner's permit? If so, AP/FSD is engaged and one must avoid being within 100 yards of the vehicle
