Tesla uses grok for integration and it currently only controls navigation. Supports any language but requires premium connectivity. Gemini would be even better as it would have real-time integration to google. I don't know how often grok is updated with google information. Tesla has more...

Because at low SOC you get low calendar aging. Are crash tested rivians stored at high SOC? No. CALENDAR AGING occurs over many years. Dr. Jeff Dahn says to charge to 75% which has no basis on reality. He knows this. He is funded by automakers to say this. he is hiding the fact that car...

They are using AI. Object recognition would be done using neural networks. It is more primitive than an end to end driving system, but it is AI

The most optimal battery life is below 55 or 60% which is lower when accounting for buffer. You get significant degradation (almost 2x as much calendar aging) above 70-75%. Departure charging allows your battery to only hit the maximum SOC right before you leave. All of my EVs I have ever...

48 hrs of labor is 4 days (12 hr shifts). That is 16 hrs of overtime in texas that is only 8 hrs of overtime

I never said that. In texas overtime is based on hours per week. Not like california. That means you don't get overtime pay for a 36 hr work week, and for a 48 hr one you only get 8 hours of overtime pay, not 16 I never said that. I was arguing whether producing a car faster is better than...

I did not use an LLM. You're assuming that equipment is the reason that rivian produces them slowly and it costs more to build an efficient production line. You also do not factor in labor cost and/or overtime. Tesla runs 12 hr shifts because they feel it is the most efficient, but you lose...

You're misunderstanding how HD mapping is used. In a car with 360 lidar and other sensing, accurate GPS, etc. you can sync your perception to the maps and get a centimeter accurate understanding of where you are within the map. With consumer GPS and cameras/radar this is not possible HD...

Google maps data does contain lane information already. Tesla maps are from tomtom and open street maps. it also contains lane information you do not need HD maps to drive but you do need lane accurate maps to drive on roads. This will only enhance safety. If all you are doing is lane...

Tesla ran 4 days a week in 2022 Teslas production capcity numbers are from 7 days a week which they don't do. In fremont I believe they did 4 days a week (48 hrs) and then 3 days a week (36 hr) shifts. Tesla runs 24/7 during those days When they had the best sales quarter ever for model Y...

The reason the cycle time is low with cybercab is the car has low part count, uses the unboxed process and is almost fully automated Tesla never runs factories at full capacity. Even for model Y it's only 4 days per week

And they should have a similar number of parts. Parts affect cost Model Y is based on an 8 year old model 3 design. They should have figured out how to reduce more parts since then new lucid midsize claims to have significantly less parts than a model Y

You mean places like Norway where everyone uses EVs? EV batteries last a lot longer in the cold. If you only own an EV in a year-round freezing climate your battery will last more than 3x longer than someone in Arizona. Degradation of a battery is based on depth of discharge, temperature of...

If you look at the calendar aging of lithium ion batteries, the optimal depth of discharge is around 15% (plug in as often as possible) And the optimum SOC is no higher than 55-65%. That does not account for the hidden buffer below the battery which is why 50% is safe Look how much you are...

The lifespan (calendar aging to 80% degradation) of a lithium ion battery is at least 10 years in something like a nissan leaf which has no battery cooling. These low voltage batteries see even less use With proper battery cooling and a 50% charge limit you can get 25-30 years in a colder...

Tesla uses lithium ion low voltage batteries that last for 10+ years. Others are not using these even though it is fairly obvious at this point. Why does rivian want $700 to replace the low voltage batteries and they won't let you do it yourself? You'll go through 4 of them in that time Tesla...

That is only one of the problems and it is a small problem. The main issue was headlight alignment. The second biggest issues were brakes. Tesla suspension in older models before 2021 had control arm issues but it was not something that would cause a failure and these cars are past 3 years old

800v only affects the resistance of the wires of the battery pack. The cells are where most of the heat comes from Model 3 is currently being used to set the cannonball run record in the U.S. What I think is more interesting is whether the cylindrical cells in an EV make charging slower...

This is 100% different. The cybertruck range was the same as the tesla roadster range. Rivian had the same issue. It was based on a battery density and cost that did not materialize. That's why R1S is one of the slowest charging EVs. the cooling plate is not sufficient for both layers of...
