My own experience was different: I was getting 89% of EPA range after 175K miles. I wonder if they are doing an apples to apples comparison: comparing EPA miles with EPA miles or are they talking about real miles? Actual mileage varies a lo

I am still amazed that I can run a local instance of LLama3 on my 3-year old M1 MacBook Air. It is a bit slower than ChatGPT online, but nice to have a GPT-3.5 level LLM running locally!

I use Tesla FSD everyday. It is not a robotaxi yet, but it makes a big difference in day to day life. I can do most drives without disengagement. To be clear, it needs to get 100x better for robotaxi. But even with its beta flakiness, it is
