Deposits are refundable at any time. If people are ok with leaving their money in Tesla's hand for years, then they are clearly indicating that they believe Tesla will deliver. If any evidence comes to light that shows otherwise, they

You’re actually supposed to intervene anytime it does the slightest thing wrong. It’s the interventions that signal to Tesla what to improve. I’ve seen many testers letting it “play out”. That’s probably dangerous and no help towards improv

There are 1500 antennas, and accompanying electronics for each, plus main board to deal with all that, GPS, motors. You also get a Wi-Fi router. Even $3000 is mindbogglingly cheap once you see what's inside of that "dish" and

Depends on location, I’ve never had a problem where I live and even in remote camp sites and on the highway.

No they don’t. If you insist, tell me which car does all those and does it like Tesla (recognizing all accents, works snappy, doesn’t require training, etc)

It completely stops everything else playing. I think they need multiple microphones to do the signal separation (like Homepod and Google Home do) but I'm not sure if the car has multiple microphones inside (new Model S and X certainly

Usually, devices have empty space inside that can be used to fit the fpx board. I then drill some holes to expose the port, mount the board inside with bolts and nuts and wire things up. Sometimes I need to 3D print an enclosure, sometimes

by oxplot 5y ago
Ye, say you need 18V instead of 20V. A step down does the trick there. In other cases such as Li-ion chargers, they expect a constant current supply which fpx board doesn't do. So a DC-DC module with max. current adjustment needs to be

It requires drilling holes and mounting it with bolts/nuts or screws. Sometimes I have to add extra dc-dc converter to get the right voltage or a constant current converter for lithium-io battery chargers.

Are you at least going to acknowledge the fact that Tesla can, in span of a few days, and then few days after, push multiple fixes to its entire fleet of vehicles whereas any other manufacturer would have had to physically get those cars in
