End result is suprisngly not that bad. The car made it out mostly intact.

Full 18 minute video of the left repeater.

For the last 3-4 months my Tesla Nav map showed my street speed limit to be 50 mph. It is 30 mph. I used Grok to figure out how to correct it. It suggested the Report Bug feature and going to openstreetmap.org and doing an edit on the street information. So I did. That was Friday. Monday my street speed limit started showing 30 and has been 30 all week…. I did about 4 bug reports and that edit. Not sure which did what but something changed.

The Cybercab has an interesting claim to fame. It’s the world’s first FWD to have a staggered wheel setup. But why? There are cars that run a factory reverse stagger, with wider fronts, like the RS3 to combat understeer. It’s also a popular mod for FWD track cars. Yet nobody has ever produced a front drive car with larger rears. Unlike traditional rear staggered set ups that give the drive wheels extra traction, aerodynamics and cost-per-mile override traditional performance logic on the Cybercab. It features a heavily tapered teardrop shape, which is the most efficient for reducing drag. To complement this, the Cybercab has a wider front track and a significantly narrower rear, by about 100 mm or just under 4 inches. Some people have mistaken this for bad alignment in traffic. The front uses 18-inch wheels with narrower 215/60 R18 tires. This keeps the frontal area small and improves steering articulation under the low hood. Larger wheels would be less nimble and provide less response. The huge rears coming in at almost 32 inches on a 21 inch wheel, are basically a truck tire. Slightly wider than the front, it’s meant to be durable, absorbing the biggest bumps or potholes and wearing longer due to less revolutions per mile. Yet they are still skinny for their height, light weight and have low rolling resistance, typical of EV tires. Rotating them won’t be possible, but tires seem to last a very long time when driven on FSD in general. Replacing the fronts more regularly than the rear doesn’t strike me as any worse than replacing all four, but less often.

Elon Musk reveals that SpaceX was forced to strap a seal to a board and put headphones on it to test sonic boom sounds "We were forced to kidnap a seal, strap it to a board, put headphones on the seal, and play sonic boom sounds to it to see if it would be distressed. This is an actual thing that happened. This is actually real. I have pictures." Lex Fridman: "I would love to see this." Elon Musk: "Yeah. I mean, sorry, there's a seal with headphones. Yes, it's a seal with headphones strapped to a board. And the amazing part is how calm the seal was." Lex Fridman: "Because if I was a seal, I'd be like, this is the end. They're definitely going to eat me. How will the seal, when the seal goes back to other seal friends, how are they going to explain that?" Elon Musk: "They're never going to believe them. It's sort of like getting kidnapped by aliens and getting an anal probe. You come back and say I swear to god I got kidnapped by aliens and your seal buddies are never going to believe him. And by the way we had to do it twice." Lex Fridman: "They let him go twice? You had to catch the same seal?" Elon Musk: "Well no, different seal."

throwback to one of my first narrated drives using FSD BETA 7 (Dec 2020)

New information about @Tesla's Cybercab has been revealed in public EPA documents. • Front-wheel drive • Battery capacity: ~48 kWh • 219 horsepower • Curb weight: 3,113 lbs • GVWR: 3,730 lbs • Motor power: 163kW • Voltage: 326v Equivalent All Electric Range is listed at 418 miles, with 375 miles of highway range, but the final EPA range rating is usually a decent bit lower. Tesla has previously stated the Cybercab has about 300 miles of range. Filing: dis.epa.gov/otaqpub/displa…

The Straight Pipes (1.8M YouTube subs) reviewed the new @Tesla Model Y Performance, and they spent most of the time talking about how good FSD (Supervised) V14 is lol. "It slowed for a bird! The Full-Self Driving is unreal. Mind-blowing. I was driving it in the city on my normal routes, kid to daycare, where I grew up, this is insane. It's so good."

電子インクすげぇ、薄いし質感も紙と大差ない

少しバズってますね 電子インクのプレゼンで一番驚いたのはBMWの新車ボディ全体に実装したやつ メタルギアのオクトカムみたいだ

The fact that these two exhibits are about a block away from each other is going to make brainwashing my daughter into becoming a huge nerd so much easier.

Beni stuck a flip mid-tracking test at the skatepark today. Nobody hit record, so big thanks to Beni's live preview and the skatepark security cam for the receipts! #Robot #Robotics #Beni #MondoRobotics

I resized some nuclear test footage to the same scale as the New Glenn explosion - this is a 200t Upshot-Knothole test

I just had one of my only critical disengagement since 14.2. This one was kinda wild but I’m extremely shocked it didn’t react what so ever? Did I disengage too early? This is FSD 14.3.3 @wholemars @DirtyTesLa @ChuckCook @teslascope @yunta_tsai @aelluswamy @wmorrill3

Hey Luce

Dear Tesla, Whoever is on the UI team for Tesla, we beg you to fix a few things. Since the spring update, Model Y performance has lost its spoiler… The cars look inaccurate on the Home Screen (too shiny) to their actual color when changed to unreal engine… The wheel options for the zero g wheels look MASSIVE We still want no aero cover options on performance models with correct wheel sizes We would also like in app to reflect accurate UI changes to the in car changes..(seat color, dash board color, and unreal engine in app) We appreciate your hard work as always. Sincerely, Everyone

My @Tesla FSD saved me from getting hit by a Waymo that failed to yield last night 😂

Is Starship HLS really is a viable option for NASA and SpaceX to get humans back onto the surface of the moon for the Artemis Program? We'll go over why it's so tall, why it uses Methalox instead of hypergolic propellants, explain why it requires 15 or more launches for a single lunar landing and we'll even go over alternate options that could maybe simplify or speed up the process. 00:00:00 - INTRO 00:03:20 - OVERVIEW AND NEED-TO-KNOWS 00:16:30 - IS STARSHIP TOO BIG AND TALL? 00:35:40 - IS METHALOX THE WRONG PROPELLANT? 00:43:50 - WHY ORBITAL REFUELING? 01:20:30 - CHANGING TO LOW LUNAR ORBIT 01:35:40 - PROPELLANT SUPPLIES ON EARTH 01:38:25 - SUMMARY
