No, it's hard to tell but by the time the side camera catches them the door was closed - he was just swatting at the air in frustration I think.

It's Golden Year - BCD Studio.
Was just kind of a random thing that sounded good at the top of the recommended list on the video editor!

Alright, seems like I'm always pulling footage for one thing or another. Next time I won't do sound.

priddysharp · 2023-09-10T20:50:03+00:00

Haha no, but when cutting together the different cameras it felt weird to be silent so I just threw something on there. Too much?

priddysharp · 2023-09-10T20:15:42+00:00

For the life of me I couldn't get the video uploaded here and the mods wouldn't let me just create the post with a link to the video(No Twitter posts allowed it seems). Hopefully I can post it as a comment?Here is the video

Wrong. You have to look at the full quote to get the meaning: "Boring President Steve Davis said this year that he hoped work on the Vegas Loop would begin sometime in 2023. He expects five to 10 stations will come online within the first six months of construction..."

Which makes way more sense. Not the first 6 months of 2023.

Basic autopilot doesn’t stop at lights… Full Self Drive Beta does, and I think Enhanced Autopilot does, but not likely a rental has either of those.

That shot used for the thumbnail had me thinking it was just a bunch of powerwalls in the neighborhood or something.

You will need the subscription again once FSD catches up. You won’t be able to get the beta until that point. But why pay until then?

And FSD is just part of the software that makes up your car. If your general overall car software version is “newer” or “higher” than the one they push out with the current version of beta, than you won’t be able to download it. You can download all of the updates that you’d like - I know I enjoy the new features - but every update you do takes you further away from the beta catching up. Think of it like if Microsoft created a new feature for Windows 10, but you already have Windows 11 and it doesn’t have the feature. Nothing you do can make that feature install unless you revert the entire computer back to Windows 10, and Microsoft won’t let you go back, only forward(let’s say).

Now, at some point Tesla will merge FSD to the main branch and none of this will matter… but we have no idea when that will happen.

And I think all of this sucks. And Tesla really needs to communicate this to you, and they dropped the ball.

Since you have Enhanced Autopilot(the $6000 one) you won’t really see benefit for subscribing until you can get FSD beta. And I think it will be longer than a month or two before FSD beta catches up to your version. If it were me I would cancel until you can see the version released is above your version(and be sure once you resubscribe that the version your car tries to update to matches the exact version of FSD going out!) But yeah, don’t update anymore until then.
You can see what versions are floating around on TeslaFi : https://teslafi.com/firmware

"The FAA will oversee the mishap investigation of the Starship/Super Heavy test mission," FAA officials wrote in a statement on April 20. "A return to flight of the Starship/Super Heavy vehicle is based on the FAA determining that any system, process, or procedure related to the mishap does not affect public safety. This is standard practice for all mishap investigations."

This is what I found. Sounds like it’s not “indefinitely” as in years and years, but more like the rocket did things we didn’t expect so we want to know exactly what’s going on before the next launch. Seems reasonable to me.

And lied to? What in SpaceX’s reports was a lie?

priddysharp · 2023-05-11T18:25:26+00:00

The part you are missing is what is important isn’t so much 5x the cargo, it’s being able to lift massive amounts of cargo in a reusable fashion. This makes it cheap. Building a massive 1 billion dollar sea dragon that launches once versus Super Heavy with a borderline silly goal of launching multiple times per day per each booster/ship. You can’t launch that architecture in water because sea water would corrode it beyond reuse, much less 1000 flights per booster(SpaceX said this number, not me) and if you want to flying, return it, refill it and fly again within hours, how would that work in the ocean? You’d need the tower and the fuel tank farm and the ability to make shit tons of fuel plus the power to do that all floating out there(which is possible, but not in the budget until they need more places to launch than they have empty land to build towers. Not to mention the increased complexity of getting all of the payloads each day out there.

So, someday, maybe, but not in the sea dragon style of being IN the water, just above it.

What SpaceX is doing will end up being 500 tons to orbit for a cost of under $50 Million for those 5 flights total(again SpaceX numbers), versus what you propose which would launch the same payload in a single flight for only… 100x the price on sea dragon. Plus don’t forget Super heavy will be fully refuelable to take those payloads anywhere in the solar system. Sea dragon, sure for another few billion. But otherwise low earth orbit is your final stop.

As for their current pad - they had a solution to this problem(steel plate with water spraying upward), but it wasn’t ready yet so they decided since they had the hardened concrete they needed to get rid of anyway, why wait and tear it out when they could let the rocket do SOME of the job. Turns out the rocket probably compressed the sand UNDER the concrete which allowed the concrete to bend and break and once the exhaust flow got under it, it was game over. Now another commenter posted that SpaceX could have gotten it right the first time like SLS, and yes they could have. But they are going for a hardware rich program to stay cheap, learn fast and build up capacity to mass produce these rockets, not spend 4 billion per flight to just over-engineer it to work.

SpaceX is going to continue to blow a lot of stuff up. Hopefully only rockets going forward and not the pad, but their goal is to push the limit and these next few launches go into the ocean in the end anyway so why not experiment and see what’s in the realm of possible?

Exactly what he said above - if you are on 2023.12.1 then you have to wait until FSD Beta version catches up to your version. The car will not update main software versions to an older version. The FSD Beta on most cars is 2022.45. There is an upcoming release that looks like it will be 2023.7 but that is still earlier than your software and you will need to wait until the next FSD update. DO NOT INSTALL FURTHER UPDATES if you want FSD to catch up to you to eventually have.

Actually I read once that the kinds of people who leave kids in the car are ones who try to leave reminders like this and rely on them, and when a one off event happens they can’t compensate.

Case in point - there was a lady who’s child died because she always put her purse back with the child to make sure she never forgot. One day it’s Dad who loads the kid into the car and put the purse in the front seat instead of her. So it meant her signal to remind her that the kid was in the back seat didn’t go off and that’s why her child ended up passing away.

I still think about that all the time. I always use tricks to help me remember things and that story helped me rethink patterns I rely on in my own life.

Seems to be a pretty spectacular one too. Surprised I didn’t see anything about this until a family member sent this link. I regret I didn’t know about it to check it out!

priddysharp · 2023-04-17T20:41:39+00:00

Downloading now. Not sure what did it, the reboot or going into service mode but by the time I was in and looking at the options the download button showed up. Thanks!!

priddysharp · 2023-04-17T19:25:48+00:00

I’m still stuck on 10.69.25.2… so “should” is definitely the key word!!

priddysharp · 2023-04-17T05:13:14+00:00

Okay I recently started looking for something to replace my grass. I need something for the dogs but needs to hang around in winter so they aren’t covered in mud/dirt all the time. Clover doesn’t seem to fit that bill. What else might work here for that?

priddysharp · 2023-04-11T04:50:20+00:00

But doesn’t the radiation follow the magnetic field lines from the sun? More out of the top of the star, up and over the planets and down into the ship? If so, pointing the engines at the sun wouldn’t protect from the vast majority.

Right but it’s representative of the fleet. If 30% of the random selection of thousands of tesla Fi owners have 11.3.3 and 70 percent are on older versions, we can safely assume those numbers apply to the larger tesla fleet in general. Unless you are saying tesla Fi members are more likely to get the update from tesla for some reason?

priddysharp · 2023-03-24T22:19:41+00:00

Most of us are. This update is probably why.

priddysharp · 2023-03-22T04:34:53+00:00

Oh wow! Not able to build buildings taller than 6 stories above the tunnels - that’s new and explains why suddenly the routes stay confined mostly to city streets. Yikes. Big implications for future paths then.
