FSD v14 is 1.5 years ahead of v13 technology. It has a 10x parameter increase. It reacts faster and sees further. Previous fsd builds were bottlenecked by Hw3 tech.
Fsd v14 is better than Waymo at stopping for school buses. Crazy reaction time
there was a video I saw where the car caught a school bus hidden by 3 cars that blew past on a 4 lane highway. It was not divided and the car caught it and slammed on the brakes.
it was riding in the very right lane...

Tesla has ridiculous reaction time through a neural network optimization and having high bandwidth memory.
Streering is fed through Adas commands. You can upgrade the firmware of the steering column to accept higher torque limits. You cannot do this on consumer cars because the car is not approved for this. The device would not be certified for this purpose. That’s why point to point driving is...
Xpeng ceo just tried fsd v14 and declared it was better than their upcoming release.

who is distorting what realit
Tesla has 60ms reaction time. This is insanely fast. You only get there through hyper...
They have been working on this several years. They shortcutted tesla in using end to end neural networks and have a computer that is 5-10x more powerful than what Tesla is using with HW3. They also have more sensors.
My point is these sensors or end to end AI do not bring autonomy faster
You...
None. Because FSD 14 needs to improve to have unsupervised
It got past the gimmick stage around FSD 12.5.6 and then 13.2.9 was ultra smooth.
Rivian might have more features than tesla had in a similar amount of time(like parking spot to parking spot) .
HW3 was around 120 TOPS and 8gb of...
You can drive the car all you want. Charging to 50% does not affect daily use. You can charge to 100% to go on any road trips you want
it's extremely easy to do this. I don't know why people think this is hard
What Rivian is doing is extremely risky. They are going up against both Tesla and everyone using an NVidia system.
What they actually demonstrated today was FSD 10 levels of driving. That's not good
The cost of delivering autonomy at scale is a lot once you have a tech that works. That means...
Did you see what they demoed? They are using end to end neural networks and it drives like FSD v10
And FSD v10 was done on a computer with 8gb of memory and 72TOPS without the use of end to end neural networks
Rivian is at least 3 years or more (at this rate) from delivering anything...
That assumes the rest of the car sees high use? the less you drive per year, the better it is that your car lasts 30 years. And if you can get 30 year's worth of battery degradation then it will increase resale value when consumers realize what degradation a car can have
Those facts don't include the misleading gross profit due to the sale of energy credits. Which are gone. You can look at the slideshow. It accounts for all factors including OE, maximum factory utilisation, great sales growth, etc.
Cars are not a way forward.
Even the financials from...
You're ignoring hard evidence. There are many studies tracking degradation across temperature and SOC. Degradation is drastically higher at high temperatures.
We can see this in the real world where cars in arizona have double the degradation of cars elsewhere. Join the high mileage EV groups...
This guy Forecasted rivian's financials a 6 months ago. He has been dead on.
If Rivian sells at maximum factory volumes they will not hit break-even profit without 22.5% gross margin. That's exactly why selling EVs is not the way forward.
And this is Q4 2027. If by that time rivian has an...
Engineering explained got his information from Jeff Dahn.
There are two things that stress a battery. High SOC/High temp storage and high depth of discharge (which affects charging cycles).
A battery has between 150-10,000 (depending on chemistry) equivalent charging cycles to 80%...
In consumer electronics (phones, powertools, etc.) batteries die from stress. Not calendar aging. It's because you have a battery only the size of its intended purpose.
Cars have 100s of miles of range and a consumer often only drives 10-15 miles round trip. Even charging to 100% daily will not...
The source you talk about IGNORES calendar aging entirely. Jeff Dahn ignores the biggest part about battery degradation because he's paid off to not talk about it
Car manufacturers don't want consumers to know that a battery can die with 25K miles on it because that sounds ludicrous. It would...
The two quarters tesla produced R1 at a positive gross margin were due to the use of energy credits. They stockpiled 1 year of energy credits into two quarters to show a gross profit. Energy credits are gone.
Tesla has a small amount of energy credits because they sell in europe.
I saw a...
what half truths? Explain
you "think" I don't know something yet I am telling half truths? You either KNOW I am telling half truths or you don't.
Battery degradation is a well measured topic on the tesla forums because the cars have been around for 10+ years. We know how they degrade. We know...
