us-west-2 seems to be the anchor region on the west coast - more AZs/capacity than us-west-1, and nearly identical pricing and instance class availability as us-east-1.

Love it or hate it seems to be the case here - not many fence sitters. Been reading TMC and FB Tesla Owners group the past hour and reactions are I’d estimate about 80% negative.

With follow-on Props 58 and 193, property tax assessments can be inherited/assumed by children and grandchildren. So not only do they inherit the property tax-free, but get the added benefit of often well-below market property tax rate

P85+ is rear motor only, so it has a much larger frunk than the current dual motor MS. Also, I've had it for 5 years with small kids in the beginning. Now kids are bigger so the rear facing seats don't work as well.

The two scenarios AP is great for us stop and go traffic and long road trips with sparse traffic. It takes the edge off the stress and monotony of those situations. Where it is not good is around town and fast moving but congested traffic -

I've been a Tesla owner for 5 years - currently have a P85+ (mine), M3 (wife) and Mercedes GL (family car). Prior to this owned 2 Fords, and 2 Hondas before that. For me personally, I'll take the Tesla any day over any other brand

I have this same issue if I try to listen while stationary. I either zone out or doze off. I listen during long cycling rides and have no problem staying focused.

I cycle with audiobooks - 1-2 books/month. It really helps pass the time during long rides. I've tried with running, but being a more intense and high impact exercise it didn't work for me.

I spend about 2 hours in Starbucks every morning before taking kids to school. Usually the playlist is tolerable, but every once in a while it's absolutely horrendous, particularly for 5AM. A couple years ago they had a 70s Soul Train

EC2 on-demand/hourly to Hetzner monthly pricing is not really an apples-to-apples comparison. EC2 reserve pricing is more similar and about 1/2 or less of on-demand fees. Hetzner is still cheaper, and if all you need is a low cost

I disagree - I've been driving EVs exclusively (Ford Focus Electric followed by Tesla MS) since 2013 in So Cal and can attest to how poor user experience is with 3rd party charge networks. First of all, there are 4+ distinct networks e

I'm responding to your comment "GCE seems to have better I/O and AWS seems to have higher frequency CPUs" - this isn't true. You can get faster I/O, networking and CPU with EC2 if you select the correct instanc

With more instance types and storage classes, EC2 offers a much wider spectrum of performance capabilities for CPU, storage (ephemeral and durable), and networking.

GCE local SSD was the fastest thing around when first released in 2014, but hasn't improved and has since fallen behind. GCE local SSD 4k read IOPs max out at around 200k/volume and 800k/instance w/4 volumes. I haven&#x2

As a current Tesla owner and frequent autopilot user I can attest to this being a scenario where autopilot has not worked for me - traveling at high speed and approaching a stopped vehicle from a distance. I now always take it off autopilot
