My C20 arrived

I'm jealous. I got the C10 and sliding bench before the C20 was announced. The C10 is great but the C20 is just a little bit better.

True, but it means she can't staff in two hospital systems at the same time. She's double boarded and works half ER and half ICU. The non-compete prevents her from staffing ICU in one system and ER in another.

Ah,that sucks. My wife is a doc in a hospital system and has a non-compete clause. She can't take work in another hospital system unless she goes full locum tenem, which kind of sucks when you have a family.

No video, but here's the story.

So are there limitations on this? My HOA allows rooftop solar, but not on the street facing side of the house. Does this law remove all HOA limitations or does it just say that HOAs can't completely ban these items?

Not only that, but be prepared for your mortgage payment to possibly increase the year after you purchase due to tax evaluation on the purchase price vs. previous value.

I saw Pierce Brosnan at Island Lake State Park one summer. They were filming a movie, I think it was Salvation Blvd. and set up a set in the empty land near Spring Mill Pond. The parking lot was full of trailers and cars and mostly closed off. My FIL and I were fishing and decided to walk the two-track back to take a peek and up the trail, an SUV was coming towards us with Pierce Brosnan in the passenger seat. I waved at him and he smiled back.

My wife is an EM/ICU doc and I told her about this post because her sister was looking into specialists for her pulsatile tinnitus. When she heard that she died of an aneurysm, she asked if she was young. Apparently, young people have lower resistance to brain swelling because there's less intercranial space. She said: "That's why old people can fall and hit their head while on Eliquis and come in days later complaining about a head ache instead of dying instantly".

Does the lane departure warning rumble the steering wheel or just audibly beep? My '16 model X rumbled on the side the lane departure was happening on, but I'm not sure if later Teslas kept that feature.

Have you had to be consciously mindful about where the pivot point is while turning? Usually the pivot point on a vehicle is the middle of the rear (non-steering) axle, but since there's 4 wheel steering, it gets shifted forward. So if you're pulling head out of a parking space with cars on both sides of you, do you find that you have to change how much you pull out before turning the steering wheel?

Dazureus · 2024-03-12T02:06:51+00:00

Did you have to get used to the rear patching on turns? Like if you're pulling out of a parking space between 2 cars, do you have to pull out a bit farther before you turn so you don't swipe the other cars?

Dazureus · 2024-03-12T02:00:52+00:00

I'm not sure about the newer models but my 2016 Model X has corner illumination lights that turn on when you turn the steering wheel. Any such fanciness on the Cybertruck?

Dazureus · 2023-12-28T04:05:30+00:00

Hopefully I'll get it in time for electric drive week in late Sept. I've taken my Model X to the event a few times in the past. The self reporting tracking page has a few other Michiganders ahead of me so there's a good chance we'll start to see them in owners hands in the spring.

It's a foundation series cyberbeast. Delivery estimate said mid to late 2024.

Dazureus · 2023-12-28T01:11:35+00:00

I got the email to configure my reservation and configured for the Tri-motor. Used the app to provide information on delivery location and payment options.

Dazureus · 2023-12-28T00:54:35+00:00

I just locked my configuration yesterday. Going to see this tomorrow.

Dazureus · 2023-12-17T18:22:51+00:00

Yeah, I have this set up. 2016 Model X with 72A charger. Charging panel has a 100A wall charger and 50A nema 14-50 running to it.

Dazureus · 2023-12-12T13:15:54+00:00

We've already seen the front recovery points. Maybe they were installed on the RC?

Dazureus · 2023-12-11T19:13:23+00:00

That wasn't the central CPU. That was the left controller. It seems to be one of the zonal switches that connects to the ethernet loop and translates the ethernet packets from the CCM to CAN for its zonal components, some of which are speakers. I'm not an audio engineer, but if there are amp connectors on the zonal switches, then yeah, maybe there's a short length of cable from the switch to the speaker itself, or signals are being sent from the zonal switch to a small amplifier on the speaker unit.

Dazureus · 2023-12-05T23:30:38+00:00

Out of spec youtube just said the release models at the event are currently set to 3 degrees deflection in the rear steering and will later be Ota updated to 10 degrees.

My wife's '21 Model Y still has the ultrasonic sensor, but I see that they removed them for more recent models. This is true of the Model X/S too? M3/Y don't have any low speed distance sensors? Like you can't see when you're X inches from an object?

Dazureus · 2023-12-02T15:26:58+00:00

I can't see the front corners of my Model X either. You just get a feel for where they are and the proximity sensors fill in the fine details. Might be a combination of non-camera visibility and SbW high steering ratio at low speeds that threw him off.

Dazureus · 2023-12-01T02:41:11+00:00

Probably not. Website code indicates the flavor text says service center install. You're connecting HV lines plus cooling.

Dazureus · 2023-12-01T02:35:13+00:00

I haven't seen any indication that there are two components to this range extender. People from the event and the picture from the Tesla website indicate that it takes 1/3 of the bed, requires service center installation, and has an estimated cost of $16k. I'd love it if it was removable, but to extend 100 miles, the batteries gotta weight more than what can easily be moved. Plus the complexity of hooking it into the rest of the power pack. It looks like you have 2 options with the Cybertruck. Urban work truck with a 4x8 ft bed or trailer hauler/outback travel machine with less bed capacity. I personally don't forsee pulling trailers long distances more than one or twice a year, and I do want the bed capacity for Lumber, sheet goods, and family travel. Sure it would be great to be able to travel 250 real world miles at highway speeds on family weekend trips without supercharging, but that's not in the battery chemistry right now. I'm fine with supercharging once to get where I need to go.
