Tesla's BIG NEWS this Week! | Tesla Time News 429

[@barnabydunning5424]

I just want to take a minute to celebrate a father - son relationship here in this show. I have been watching for ages, and I really appreciate the hard work and effort you both put into this show through content, research and all the soft stuff you must experience doing this show together. Thanks guys - I hope you get this message.

For those of you that only ever drove SUVs: A mini-van seats 7. A full sized van seats 9 or 12 depending on configuration.

[@lukebliss608]

It would be nice if the Starman report had more up to date info on the Starship program. For instance, Eli didn't mention the reason for diverting the booster into the gulf instead of attempting a catch. Hint the receiving antenna on the tower (stage 0) was damaged and poor comms were flagged as the reason for the divert.

Great show. Just small correction. There is only one pair of arms in the starship catch tower. The other thing you are seeing is the quick disconnect to send fuel to the ship. Either way, the can catch the booster, leave it in the pad, and then catch the Ship with the same tower and arms. Note that Ship will have to do at least 1 full orbit, so, more than enough time for the tower to be ready

[@johnwilson5743]

LOL. At 43:05 the flag Grok used for Australia was actually the flag of New Zealand! No need to worry though, to our Aussie mates. Us Kiwis haven't taken over Australia... YET! LOL. Cheers.

On The Move are Tesla branded equipment that Euro Garages have installed across the UK in conjunction with Tesla. The owners changed the name from EV Point to On the Move. There installed the same as all V4 Superchargers but are just branded On The Move. PS they are not Mobile Chargers 😊 They appear in the app, car and included in the routing and chargers to your Tesla account like every other supercharger.

[@georgeginsburg545]

i definitely notice the Rivian Electric Amazon trucks. They have a distinctive look with the wrap around rear light and the front has those signature round Rivian headlights. The driver told me he gets 135 mile range but does not have range anxiety with it

[@revmsj]

50:30 There’s only one pair of arms per tower. The other thing is just for stability and it’s a single smaller appendage

[@mtnbikesownu]

The disconnect is getting hard. A Model Y/X is not the same as a minivan if you have 2+ kids. A Robovan is just Tesla porn that won't exist for 5-10 years. So NO there is no Tesla vehicle that satisfies that SUV audience.

[@jonevansauthor]

ASS is still useful even at 6m. Think about going up to a parking space, and the people either side of you have parked very close. You can have your car back out, load up your groceries and open the doors wide enough to get in. Trust me, this will be a big deal in Europe. I think if you look it up, you'll find average car parking spaces are smaller in the UK and Europe than they likely are in the US - but every country must suffer from people parking badly and not realising (or caring) that they've boxed someone in. And lots of people are terrible at parallel parking too as it's not all that easy a skill to acquire for some (lots of drivers avoid difficult parking manoeuvres).

[@chooksinthecity2586]

[@dannyDrives_Renewable_Electric]

18:27 I think the other main reason for remotely controlling Optimus will be training it. Not "wach me as I flip the album on the turntable" but you get in its skin, see what it sees, feel what its fingertip sensors feel, and flip the album. It will notice where you look and the exact rate and pressures of your movements.

Pundit = spokesperson, Pungent = Strongly odourous, Pundant = NotaWord A jaguar is an American cat, so I yield to the American pronunciation as being more correct, although hearing the car referred to this way will always remind me of the scene in Harold and Maude. The brand was established primarily to sell in US, so it's what you call it that counts. It was fun listening to Jesse butchering English place names worse than French this week.

The last time I was at Costco, I tried to visualize an Optimus navigating the crowds and the isles. Then checking out. Optimus would need a special pocket for you Costco card. That would be impressive.

[@trevornewkirk3224]

Maybe a backpack

I’d assume it would become built in thru an NFC chip A La tap-to-pay, and I’m assuming Costco would also adopt NFC as a form of entry for ease of access (you can use your phone and keep the wallet at home)

[@DraftedByTheMan]

Maybe a transition thing with the Tesla bot could be the controller is the actual owner. For example, if Optimus isn’t able to perform a function but I was at work and needed to feed my fish or something that might be a bit complicated, I could put on my own VR set And control Optimus from wherever I am.

Jaguar was among the first to make a serious electric vehicle and is also a major competitor in Formula E racing winning the World Championship this season. They are the EV of choice for Waymo and have always been innovative in designing at the forefront of technology. They have certainly stirred up the brand’s attention with their new advertising but it’s obviously upset many of the braindead groupthink brigade. 😮

[@garycarson3128]

It is impossible for any autonomous taxi service like Tesla to prove to regulators that Unsupervised FSD has an efficacy of 10k miles per critical intervention without generating this statistic with a Safety Driver (which Tesla is currently doing for their employees at Fremont) or deploying a Robotaxi service with a remote Safety Driver (like what Waymo and Cruise are doing). All of the data Tesla currently has is Supervised FSD data. Tesla has very little or no data on the efficacy of Unsupervised FSD. Eventually as Tesla accumulates evidence of higher efficacy rates (i.e. 30k, 50k, 100k miles per intervention) regulators will allow Tesla (or Tesla will assume responsibility) to increase the number vehicles monitored per remote operator.

@@furryrug5998 Yeah...I kinda agree. Though, when I'm driving myself I'm also using a "vision-based" system as I can't send any LIDAR/RADAR or other things ahead of me I might slow the car to a snails crawl, but I've been driving in heavy fog, rain, sleet, snow etc - generally much slower than on dry roads in sunlight...but also purely based on vision The slipping and sliding on snow and NOT being able to see any center dividing markings (no physical barriers) is what I wonder the most about...how will the system cope ?

[@jeffcarlton3590]

Elon said, "Excess government spending is what causes inflation". Boy is that too simplistic. Shortages of goods, and shortages of labor, with the corresponding need to raise wages across the board are big drivers of inflation. And inflation is a positive feedback loop for more inflation. In some countries that has led to crazy runaway and accelerating currency failures. Think of going to any restaurant. They had to raise all their workers salaries $3 or more per hour in order to retain them, since suddenly there were far more businesses needing workers than there were workers to fill all the positions. And the supply chain and transportation workers servicing the restaurant also had their wages increased. Then remember that their food ingredients, and other inputs (paper goods, cleaning supplies, ...) that the restaurant must have also became scarce with the pandemic, and its economic aftermath. So prices for all these rose steeply as the whole market competed for limited supplies. It is not that hard to see why prices have inflated for many reasons that have little to do with government spending. It was a worldwide market phenomena, even in countries which did not increase spending to try and help their citizen's through the dark times. Note that this these spending increases were implemented in both the Trump and Biden years. And there was some corporate exploitation of the crisis, some record profits reported, but the Dem's overplay this component just as the Repub's overplay inflation as the cause. I'm not saying that inflation has not been brutal on people, as the wage increases for the most part have not matched inflation, nor have fixed income raises kept up. You also have to look at how government spending can help spark economic recovery, help modernize our economy, and help us better compete in world markets in precisely the sectors where growth is happening, and we might lose out. Government spending can also help make our lives better when directed toward infrastructure that needs repair, and into sectors that give us cleaner air and water, better health care solutions, better education, affordable childcare, etc. These improvements can improve our health, both mentally and physically. Unfortunately we give corporations too much free reign in our country, and they can freely addict us to unhealthy pastimes and food, with all kinds of harmful ingredients mixed in. Though I fear RFK JR's potential effect on our country's disease immunity, I am hopeful he can clean up our food industry. The very same big food companies that sell us food doctored with crap, even including known carcinogens, sell much healthier versions of their products to Canadians and Europeans, simply because their governments stand up to big ag and food companies. They regulate what can be sold and marketed for healthier kids and citizenry. You know, responsibly doing work that governments should be doing. And perhaps there are some ingredients in our vaccines that are ill advised and should be removed. I would be all for that if it was science based and did not weaken our overall immunity to those devastating diseases of humanity's past.

[@AZOffRoadster]

We're about to see a LOT more inflation, along with unemployment and a worker shortage. And our Q-Bert led government won't know how to deal with it.

[@barrybeebenson4860]

​@@AZOffRoadsterI kid you not, this is starkly similar to that one time during the great depression where the republicans tried to fix the economy with tariffs and ended up making everything worse.

[@avgjoe5969]

You could have 1 teleoperator with 12 screens monitoring 10 cars (2 spares for handoffs) and then zoom in on one (automatically handing off the other cars to other operators) while you correct the one situation that got flagged (car calling for help) or if you spotted something wonky like a distorted path to target. Given that you could expect maybe one of your fleet of 10 running into trouble every hour... this would take a Big bite out of the cost of drivers while providing human override. Serious problems (like one of your cars dragging a pedestrian) can be escalated with a click and a severity level.

18:07 unless an until full self driving becomes 100% reliable the more Robo cabs there are out there the more that small small percent of issues grows. So there will probably always be a need for someone somewhere to be able to intervene for Tesla and for us humans when Skynet I mean Robo cabgoofs up. 😆

[@kuhnology8803]

Automation in the real world is hard, just look at humans...But on the real side having programmed automation systems it is impossible to think of all variabilities. Stuff happens roads close, sidewalks are blocked, weather variables are not fixed, parts break, all of which can cause course corrections. My whole day was often execution of plan B, C, and or D when A was no longer an option. Real world issues of things you never thought you would see happen a lot. Humans are unpredictable, except a percentage of sabotaging stuff, creatively. Nature is a wild thing I have seen a squirrel take down a bacon factory. So yes team interventions are needed and it will be a long time before this rule go's away. It is wise to have options and Teleoperators.

[@edwardhackett-jones8126]

Chargers: EV OTM is a separate company, I think operating Tesla Superchargers under their own brand. Good to have more coverage, however, Wherstead is priced at £0.65per kWh, whereas the Ipswich SuC, about 5 miles away, is priced between £0.40 and £0.49 per kWh. I wonder if they’re going to be able to compete? I’m always price sensitive, so would always choose the cheaper option.

The storm in W. Washington was an easterly wind of 60-80 mph, not typical, causing stress on trees from an unusual angle. Took out many power and communication lines. Lots of crazy pictures. Huge outage at the major pass and all the way to eastern lake Washington. Everything on the east side of the lake was down from Bothell to Renton. Never seen anything like it. The I-5 corridor on the opposite side of the lake was just fine [no trees in downtown Seattle, power fine, Space Needle still stands]. Winds were so bad the first night the power company pulled repairmen off, out of fear they may die. I have seen in some cases where special power lines have been pulled for just charging facilities. Saw that an EA station at my local QFC grocer last year in the summer, was operational. Where the store was running on a generator on it's loading dock.

Elon is boosting us into the future. Without him a lot of cool and useful things would have stayed the exception instead of being common. We have the technical capabilities, the want and the raw materials for quite some time but with him we have someone who can channel all of these into amazing products. Some people think Teslas are expensive but even _if_ other companies could offer the same products it would be at least 5 times as costly. I'm even amazed by the Boring company even though it seems like the most boring one. Would love to see a new presentation from Elon about it.

So tonight we end up talking tesla, and he mentions this article he saw about how some car review company took a tesla from NY to LA and couldn't make it because the infrastructure wasn't working. I tried correcting him by saying the article is FUD, mass media lies to you. I asked him if they said it wasn't working or they had to wait because it was full? He said full. So I said, ok it works they just had to wait. That article is garbage, they're trying to tell you, you can't make it from NY to LA because the infrastructure doesn't work. When really it's just that they had to wait for an open charger. It got heated a little and his wife ended up quieting him down. I laughed on the inside a lot!!

Something I haven’t heard you guys consider, but I think the main use of Optimus will be for work for hire jobs. Send you Optimus out to work 7 days a week, 12-18+ hour days for $10/hr. Slightly less than min wage. It would be cheaper for the everyday consumer to buy these models ready to work for hire, opposed to companies paying for 100’s or 1000’s of bots for each company. It’s cheaper for the companies to hire hourly and the consumer responsible for maintaining and operating. As long as bots can go to the consumer first and at these prices it’s looking like this could be the very outcome.

[@MikeKates]

I’m currently investing and putting money aside for just this. I’d be ready to own 10+ bots for my household if work for hire was a possibility. And that’s why I believe eventually bots will outnumber people by a factor of 10x plus.

I doubt most families can afford the robovan...and a lot of people will take a long time to trust a computer to drive their 2 year old around.

[@richardfolden3860]

Why would they buy one when they can just rent the ride?

[@lukhanyokongisa8798]

Should ask grok for a Tesla cyber truck

Robo van would work if it comes in two sizes like the model y and 3

Two sets of arms!? Said that right after throwing shade on BBC...!

I’m excited to see how XAI312x performs! Your video made me a believer!

[@richinvancouver3100]

I think teleoperators will pick waypoints. This is what has been reported for how Waymo does it. Why would you need to emulate a steering wheel breaks and acceleration pedal and try to guess where the Cybercab is in space relative to its surroundings. Instead tell it where to go. Also talk to passengers.

[@jonathanmelhuish4530]

Yes, exactly. Latency would be too high to drive it safely instead they'll just help it figure out where to go when it gets stuck.
