    Entire Tesla Supercharger team fired (Update: Elon Musk says supercharger network growth will continue). ** ⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS **

    One last comment... I saw a funny post on X from a university professor in response to NASA's announcement that they were pushing back the Mars Sample Return Plans from 2028 to 2035 (with a budget of $11 billion). ... he said something along the lines of "... NASA should just scrap this mission...

    I got my NACS Adapter Opt-in Email (5/1/24)

    Ditto that. I was reading this thread, then went to my email and noticed I received the email yesterday at 7:01 EDT. I am a November 2023 delivery. Will be interesting to see how much time between this email and receipt.

    Perhaps... but with a total estimated investment of $20 billion SpaceX is now the premier provider of travel to space globally, radically lowering the cost to put both people and technology in space and making launches and rocket reuse routine. They have also deployed Starlink now providing...

    My first response was going to be a question... do you want to bet on that? But then it occurred that I have already made that bet. I am a Tesla share holder (just increased my position), I am buying into a vehicle which will give me exposure to SpaceX... and I would own Neuralink and X.AI if...

    Not the people you want. You want the people that have confidence they are better than the other guys and have the swagger and work ethic to pull it off. Love him or hate him, Musk is one of the most successful business leaders of all time and is likely going to have a larger impact on...

    Yes... there is a story in Isaacson's books about Musk going to the Starling team and pushing them. He thought the satellites were big, too expensive and need better speed metrics. The team pushed back and so he fired them all. The was an uproar and many forecasted the end of Starling. Musk...

    Differences between Rivian RTT roof top tent and Yakima HD3?

    I own the Rivian branded tent… and really like it. I have to admit I didn’t understand the broad array of options before I bought it but we have enjoyed the Rivian version and have no complaints. Happy to answer more specific questions if you have them.

    ... maybe they were not getting the job done. No one has mentioned it, but maybe he is looking for a talent upgrade here. He has done that else where before. Amazing that people are so quick to write him off and yet he continues to accomplish things that people think is impossible.

    Tesla FSD Full Self Driving & Rivian ?

    Thought about this through the night as it didn't make sense to me. Then clicked on the link and read the details and get what this is comparing. This is only comparing... essentially engaging on the highway in a Drive Assist kind of way. ... thus Mercedes and Tesla at the top. But it if was...

    Tesla FSD Full Self Driving & Rivian ?

    Then was mention in Tesla's earnings call yesterday that they are in talks with another car manufacture about licensing their full self driving software. I wonder if Rivian may be that manufacture. Driver+ seems to be way behind others, and I would expect they could more easily make the...

    Cracked Windshield Replacement by Safelite and Camera Recalibration?

    Recalibrating the cameras is a real thing... Audi, BMW, etc. all have to have that done and if it isn't the sensors don't work. Just had an Audi come out of the shop an the recalibration wasn't done correctly and hat to go back to Audi to get done. Satellite will eventually get the software to...

    No Email from Rivian for the Tesla NACS Adapter...

    This is interesting. Sending out 100,000+ emails is not a trivial thing... so I was just expecting it was taking time to cycle through the entire list. Their various announcements talk about the order in which the adaptors will be "sent out" but that is clearly different than the order of the...
