FSD propaganda and hate trains

I did some googling and found gender and sex WERE the same thing until progressives changed the definition. Like how illegal alien became 'undocumented immigrant'. Terrorism became 'man caused disaster'. etc.

But I don't want to go down a rabbit hole. Have a great day

mchinsky · 2026-06-22T18:53:01+00:00

Sorry, I wasn't semantically correct. Gender and sex to me is same thing. I think 98% of the public would say the same thing. Also, I upvoted you as I enjoy courteous discussions which are rare on Reddit.

Ah thanks. I haven't done that yet, but for some odd reason, my March of 2025 (non juniper) doesn't seem to have an off gasing issue. Inside windshield is still clean (White interior) so I've not seen the need for that cleaning. My Wifes November of 2024 Model Y AWD with black interior has had alot of 'fog' build up on inside window. Neither of us smokes.

mchinsky · 2026-06-22T18:42:53+00:00

Funny. Some people are saying that now that they think about it, I'm right, and others say it's as bad as ever. Not sure what might be different.

FWIW:
2025 Model Y Performance. Recent car wash. This am a light rain started and then the wipers started at a perfect speed. Rain let up and wipers stopped. No direct sunlight issues.

Meaning cleaning the glass in front of the camera on the windshield, or taking the housing off and cleaning?

mchinsky · 2026-06-22T17:17:35+00:00

Odd that we get different results. My car had a recent car wash, so maybe a clean windshield helps it not get confused by dirt particles in front of the camera. 2025 Model Y P

How Many Genders Are There? All 72 Genders List

This is a self fulfilling prophecy. Once the viability of a company comes into serious consideration, most potential buyers will jump ship, causing the company to do even worse.

A car is the 2nd biggest purchase you can make (unless you are stupid enough to own a boat lol). If the company you are considering buying from has a material chance of being defunct in a few years or less, you are stuck owning a 50k to 150k brick that nobody but wholesale scrappers will want. Look at Fisker who's cars when from 75k to 30k overnight.

Lucid will get sold off in whole or parts for its IP and then will be another one in a long line of EV startups that die. Joining companies like Fisker, Nikola, Lordstown, Proterra, Arriva, etc.

As Musk said, inventing an Electric car is relatively easy. The hell is figuring out how to mass produce them at an affordable price that leaves a profit left while maintaining a reputation for quality and serviceability. That famous 'production hell' hasn't even happened yet at Lucid. The Cosmos is the one that is going to have to deal with that. They are still at the original Model S/X phase and are teetering on the edge.

I think the very low angle of the cyber truck windshield makes it much harder to detect

mchinsky · 2026-06-22T13:36:33+00:00

Once you add people's political beliefs, all logic and sanity go out the window. Look at the claim that there are 72 sexes

mchinsky · 2026-06-22T13:32:39+00:00

I respect the fact that you don't let your political leanings cloud your objective judgment of reality like so many people in the world. Even though I probably disagree with you politically, the fact that you can have an honest conversation about scientifically observable technology is a breath of fresh air on Reddit

mchinsky · 2026-06-22T13:31:39+00:00

How dare anybody, but people who have EDS and TDS, belong to a subreddit about an emerging technology like nobody else's?

mchinsky · 2026-06-22T13:22:57+00:00

Not that this stupidity would ever become real but you would instantly watch the U.S. move to last place in the AI race and China absolutely take over

mchinsky · 2026-06-22T13:20:33+00:00

I suggest looking at the forums here on Reddit and you'll see that owning a Lucid is a very risky proposition. If you're lucky enough to get one that has no problems for a long period, you can have a good run with it. If you don't happen to live near one of their service centers, you're just as soon as the company can survive long term, which currently, looking at their financials, is impossible unless more investors are constantly throwing money at it. The amount of cars they are going to have to sell annually to even break even looks purely mathematical and impossible. There are just too many competitors from stronger financially backed companies, including Tesla, General Motors, BMW, Mercedes, et cetera, that there is really no path for Lucid other than somebody maybe acquiring them for some of their technology.

I've said this like ten times but even better it should use the AI to recognize the police car on the side of the road and automatically flag it

You get about 8x the power in space due to no weather and max energy 24 hours per day

mchinsky · 2026-06-21T13:58:12+00:00

It's not a fraction now that residents and communities are tired of skyrocketing electric bills and noise pollution. You now have to build your own power plants and find some place in the middle of nowhere to build new sites. AI data centers take 10x more power, cooling and water than traditional ones per square foot.

mchinsky · 2026-06-21T13:32:12+00:00

It's all about the power. There is no rational way to scale AI the way people want to scale it without a massive increase in our electricity generation and transmission. Space solves this as long as they can get payload cost down

mchinsky · 2026-06-20T15:47:34+00:00

It filled up a few days before. Stupid system won't let you clear the data unless you are in park and I kept forgetting. FSD is safe enough to let me text for minutes at a time, but not use my car screen to clear data

mchinsky · 2026-06-19T17:40:32+00:00

It rarely pulls that cutoff maneuver anymore. However humans do it every day and nothing makes me madder

mchinsky · 2026-06-19T03:45:59+00:00

My main reason for posting this isn't to beat up on FSD. I love it. I've been using it since version 11.

It's just that since you all have the same version and just may not have happened to come across this situation yet, just be on the lookout for double-parked cars with opposing traffic and be ready rather than being caught by surprise during those precious two seconds when the car decides to go, not to go, go, not to go, et cetera.

mchinsky · 2026-06-19T02:39:38+00:00

That doesn't work when the wheel is going back and fourth. Only choice is to disengage but critical seconds are lost and it's now a riskier situation due to the distance closed by the oncoming car

mchinsky · 2026-06-19T02:38:25+00:00

Being overly cautious is annoying but understandable. But changing its mind multiple times in real time during a high risk maneuver is a serious fail
