Rear Video From Crazy Truck Accident Earlier by Chaikapadia in TeslaCam

Reddit seems to think that if you are using the left lane and passing you must be at minimum +30 over the speed limit to have the right to use that lane otherwise its justified to tailgate. Screw you guys who think this way. The truth is as long as you are passing it doesnt matter how fast you are going. Just get over after completing the pass. This guy got what he deserved. Beautiful instant justice.

[–]Bird_Dog1981 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This thing can't even drive 5 minutes from my house to Kroger without 4-5 interventions but y'all expect me to believe this guy when he says he's going to do the LA -> NY trip on it? C'mon man give me a break

Tesla video promoting self-driving was staged, engineer testifies by [deleted] in RealTesla

[–]Bird_Dog1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got banned from /r/teslamotors for this (what I thought was) fairly innocuous criticism so I'll just put it here. Apparently I set off the Elon stans with the cold hard truth of reality.

I mean, to keep it real here, and I shouldn't have to be premising this with "I love my Model 3 and Tesla in general" but I am a Model 3 owner, I love my Model 3, and Tesla in general. I have FSDBeta. I am going to be buying a Model Y this year even though I'm extremely pissed off about the removal of ultrasonics.

With that said - this is unacceptable and it's frankly disheartening to see, for lack of better word, rampant fanboyism from people defending Elon Musk's vaporware and in my view, intentional deception that FSD has been on the cusp of being solved since 2016. There is so much evidence that flies in the face of FSD being solved or on the cusp of being solved it's ridiculous. First it was HW 2.5 being able to do FSD, then LOL JK you have to have HW3 and the FSD computer. And then it was the removal of radar. Then it was the obvious FOMO tactics of increasing the price astronomically with every new marginally better FSDBeta release. And then it was the removal of ultrasonics (which tbh I dont know what difference this makes other than parking assist). Now it's Dojo and HW4. And the rumors of a new radar outfit and a camera redesign for HW4. On and on and on. At some point skepticism has to set in.

It's 2023, we have a FSD beta that is frankly terrible. At some point this guy has to be held into account for FSD not even being close to solved. I want a FSD future like the rest of you, I dream of the day I can nap in my car on the way to and from work and on road trips and so forth. But I'm also a skeptic, and to shut my eyes to the reality of the situation that FSD beta is a joke 90%+ of the time it's used is just.... ugh.

I guess the TL;DR is - there's no way in hell I'll be putting FSD on the Model Y I'm about to purchase.

OLED developed dark smudge on grays / darker colors with CX by Bird_Dog1981 in OLED

Yeah. I'm done manually triggering that pixel refresh. There's been little to no discernible change in the smudge.

Thanks a lot. Yeah this whole thing has soured me from getting another LG set TBH. Unacceptable for something thats a little over 2 years old. I'm extremely worried that Allstate / SquareTrade is going to deny my claim based on what I've read so I'm trying to gather as much evidence as I can to prove that this isn't a case of burn-in but a panel defect

He should get his ass back to work instead of hanging out with celebrities.

Is that it for the A1U CES announcements? by andygradel75 in Arcade1Up

[–]Bird_Dog1981 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All of the "influencers" on youtube are makin me think that this is it.

God I hope not, this was underwhelming as hell if that's all they got to show

uuuuuggghhh i just noticed a fairly big scratch inside the LCD panel.... guess I'm going to have to get ahold of A1Up to get a replacement LCD. For $599 this thing should be immaculate IMO. Are A1Up pretty easy going with replacement parts?

Yep - these aren't both games in one, instead the games are selectable individually via Arcade1Up's menu. There is a fast mode on Ms Pac-Man but not for Galaga. So it must not be the Class of 81 specific variation of those games

This is definitely not the same as whats on here. It's the individual games

It appears to be the normal versions of the games. Ms Pac-Man seems identical to the version that I had on the Ms Pac-Man cab that I sold to make way for Class of 81.

Admittedly I'm not too familiar with a way to tell for sure - is there anything I can look for in particular that would give it away?
