  • Exclusive: Tesla presented misleading ‘Full Self-Driving’ safety data to European regulators

  • Certain cells come from China (and other suppliers) of which Tesla is involved in the chemistry, but Tesla makes their own batteries in house, its their technology. Batteries are more than just the cells, its the finished product including the cells.

    They also make their own cells for the Cybertruck, some models Ys and the Semi, some of which uses lithium the refined themselves.

  • This is such a hit piece lol.

    Yes, Tesla gave them their stats, the same ones they tell us, that people have complained about for forever, but the agencies also ran all their own tests with over 1.6 million kilometers.

    They didnt take Teslas word and go okay sounds good.

    And in the end they approved it.

    Edit: it was 1.6 million km not 1.8 million as I originally wrote.

  • If the deer darts in front at the last second it will try to swerve around it, but maybe not too aggressively. Similar to if a car intrudes in your lane. But ya, if its standing in the road in front of you it will just brake.

    Edit: Looks like someone did a video of it a couple days ago of swerving to avoid an inflatable dummy someone throws at it, so this is what I'd expect for a deer that jumps in front of it. Some pretty good speed reactions in there.

  • Ya i better understood that just a few moments ago. The angle it went into the house seems pretty suspicious still. Thats a pretty sharp turn vs if it tried to dodge an imaginary deer for example.

  • Maybe there was 1 or 2 consumer cars in 2017, but it wasn't normal, hence my earlier comment. They were all typically radar and vision.

    Its still vision yes, but the cameras were upgraded in HW4 vehicles.

    Edit: i should clarify, for the typical brands people could buy in north America. I actually have no idea what Chinese cars had in them back then.

  • The point is that no consumer system on the road back then would have reliably prevented that incident, and it is better today.

    Edit: to clarify, youre trying to say it isnt even basic because back then it failed at something everything would have failed at.

  • I have an older Teala with AP, and I dont understand how this is possible...

    You can't engage it on your driveway. It'll say its unavailable. You gotta be moving a bit first on a roadway.

    If he was on the roadway and turning into his driveway, AP cant make turns, so thats not possible.

    He could have had traffic aware cruise control on, and auto steer off so he could steer it, but then he's the one who drove it into the garage.

    Edit: maybe a cul du sac where he's at the end and itd drive straight up, but he wouldn't have been able to turn onto it, which means he would have had to turn it on just for the small street?

    Edit: and if they story is it went off the road into the garage on its own with a sudden turn... check that angle out. Its not like it came in on a shallow angle veering off the road, its almost 90 degrees to the garage from a short driveway...

  • That would have been AutoPilot 6 years ago.

    AP back then had radar, but radar cant reliably detect a stationary object at high speeds. Every OEMs traffic aware cruise control had this weakness if its radar based back then. They typically warn you about it before first use, which is part of why you must pay attention.

    Only vision or lidar can address an issue like this, and cars weren't really shipping with lidar back then.

    Newer Teslas with HW4 and FSD would handle this better. HW3 and FSD might not reliably handle it, but its hard to say.

    Edit: and even today on HW4 car, AP would probably fail here like this story. Its just not meant for this and is very very old at this point.

  • Autopilot isnt FSD Supervised.

    Autopilot just keeps you in lane and distanced from a lead car, mainly meant for highways/ freeways. A combination of auto steer (for lane) and traffic aware cruise control.

    FSD Supervised is meant for anywhere and will take turns, change lanes, stop for lights etc.

    They no longer sell or include AP, and its been renamed to something involving autosteer for existing owners. New purchases can only subscribe to FSD Supervised now.

    They might be one of the only major OEMs that dont include any kind of lane keeping in their cars now, which is pretty much standard now.

  • I got a mini dish for emergencies as I live in an area where natural disasters can occur.

    My plan was to just keep it around just in case in a paused state and on occasional trips, or in case of emergencies id have it.

    Then they stopped letting you pause it and charged $7.50 CAD/m to keep it in standby, but it came with unlimited low speed, but enough to do emails or browse websites. Kinda shitty but okay, having data always working wasnt terrible for the $7.50, and could even toss it in car for road trips where there's bad internet for music streaming.

    Then a couple weeks ago, they emailed saying its going to $15/m and it would no longer work while in motion.

    Fuck that. I canceled.

    Its definitely to juice the IPO revenue numbers.

    Edit: oh, and the free pausing, to paid standby to the price increase on standby was all in under a year.

  • Billions have been given to telecoms for ages to build out infrastructure to rural areas and it always fails. The ISPs say oh its so expensive, we only got this tiny fraction done, and the government nods their heads and gives them billions more when they say theyll do it next time, and the same thing happens over and over.

  • The infrastructure thats needed isnt always there, nor the people to run or build it.

    You cant power it only off solar now because its so far north the array would need to be crazy big, and wouldn't be enough in the winter.

    Also even as you go far north summers can still be hot and you'd still need a way to cool it during those times which will require the same water flow capacity even if its for less overall days, so you now need to build 2 cooling systems instead of 1.

    It still seems crazy to build these things where they often do, but going somewhere really cold isnt simple.

    Edit: also sovereignty of the data center. A US company would prefer to keep it in the US which would give Alaska as an option.
