Tesla Semi Spotted in Europe - Baltimore's New Tesla Fleet and more! | Tesla Time News 416

[@StevenGresser]

Just hit like 👍🏼 so I can see y’all polish the CT.

[@TSLApilot]

56:01 it doesn’t prioritize illegals over citizens. It just doesn’t exclude otherwise qualified applicants based on citizenship status. (I realize headlines don’t cover nuance).

[@AmateurBMS]

It seems Zac and Jesse likes to criticise the media for lack of nuance but commits the same faults themselves to an even larger degree.

[@Climberfx]

Thumbs up for polished Cyber Truck

[@bster88]

I went to the Mesa AZ service center to get my 12v battery replaced with no appointment and they got it done in 15 minutes.

For a bunch of young people, they really do well. They make beginner mistakes sometimes but correct them.

I remember being in highschool riding the bus home, the diesel school bus in front of us was filling our bus with diesel fumes. It was hot so we had to have the windows open and this occurred everyday. DEF was not a thing on old buses and I dreamed of an electric future where we could breathe.

[@euphoberger]

13:41 You call out anyone and everyone except Elon himself.

[@AshleyMillsTube]

I drove the ID Buzz in Switzerland recently as a hire vehicle with the family. I was pretty impressed with it. Easy to drive, smooth and spacious. Perhaps it was the trim we had but my bugbears were: lack of rear opening windows, lack of good AC reaching the back seats. As it was the EU version, lack of additional seats I think is a dumb move (it's shorter). The inbuilt satnav was awful and its own range predictions were not the best. But generally I really enjoyed driving it over the alps and it never let us down. I'd buy one if I had the money and it had the extra seats.

[@TSLApilot]

54:29 Food company revenue can’t be too bad as stocks of some of the big food companies such as General Foods and Tyson have been doing pretty this year.

[@AmateurBMS]

It might be a very good idea to fact check Elon’s tweets. Or you might be confused about how long ago 1994 was.

[@JT_771]

That aint no wrap, friends, that looks like a '90s ish era Toyota, mocked up to be Cyber-like.

[@markglover2565]

Yeah, looking at it more closely, I believe it has been photoshopped. I thought it may have been an Isuzu but it isn't that either. Definitely not a wrap, though.

[@NoMoYOUsernames]

@16:21 Baltimore looks to be going "TSELA" according to the text in the background.

[@ismailnyeyusof3520]

30:27 Jesse’s reaction to Zac replying that the VW ID bus, higher price, higher trim version doesn’t have more range is absolutely hilarious! 53:32 is super interesting as it explains a lot of the challenges between virtual reality, as in computers, and reality. Seriously, the NYK channel is just about the best out there to learn about everything electric.

[@jonevansauthor]

I mean, it's not a VW bus, and I don't get why people are acting like it is. It's not cheap, it's got literally none of the style of any of the several versions people have nostalgia for, the driving position is in a completely different place meaning it's literally nothing like, it's useless as a camper, and everyone knows VW's software stack is a total joke. In no way is it in the same family as the VW Bus of yore, in the same way that the 'Mini' you see now, is a despicable cash grab and not a real Mini (look at them side by side to see the size difference and you'll see why it was called a Mini in the first place and isn't one now).

[@tedg1609]

The ID Buzz concept car was a beautiful car.

[@lyfandeth]

That ID Buzz certainly is nice eye candy, although the prototype was just so subtly sharper. But with slow charging and a useful range of maybe 200 miles...I guess weekend picnics or beach trips will be the market. Still, credit for being something different to smile at.

[@belgarion0013]

Do it, just do it, let it shine baby!!!

[@stevenholman7639]

Another excellent episode. Never stop!

[@michaelfelder2640]

@1:04:59 is EXACTLY where a supercharger needs to be put! With higher ICE MPG folks didnt need to stop at this station. The MPG put it outa biz... EVs owners with time on their hands soon (Optimus) would drive thru the countryside and enjoy the sites (FSD) allows the guy that used to watch the road 'actually enjoy the drive.

[@JudkinsMatthew]

I have gotten tread warnings on my tesla and it was 100% correct.

[@ericdirnbeck3497]

Zac and Jesse, get rid of Elon’s Xs of the week.

[@Digital-Dan]

Park Assist is incredible not only for parking, but also backing out of narrow driveways. I have had trouble in the past; the view out of mirrors doesn't give you adequate clearance information.

[@user-jt1jv8vl9r]

Garages in the UK are often so narrow that almost nobody in my estate parks that are there.

[@markyanke8141]

So you give VW a hard time about the ID Buz being shown in 2017 and not being available until 2024. Just a reminder that is quicker than the Tesla Roadster second generation, shown in 2017 and still not available.

[@demoticshadow2494]

Awesome to hear the EV news from Wisconsin

[@richhevener2736]

Had my vehicle repaired at the Vallejo Service Center on 8/13/24-8/16/24 and while it was there I had my cordless tools and wireless phone charger taken out of my car. So far no one there has any answers and I feel that they don’t care. I’m out over 2000 worth of tools and it has affected my job. I will say my previous experiences at this center were great and the techs seemed more attentive.

[@tedoptional-p8l]

All repair stations say they are not responsible for personal possessions left in the vehicle. That is a lot of tools, you could go to Home Dept and get some cheaper ones so when they are stolen, and they will be, you are not out so much money.

[@MrJoelMartinez]

I think VW should have kept the circle headlights

[@famillevaugondy6675]

Just added a like, polish that baby up and let is know if it drives you crazy about the fingertips stains 😬

[@surferdude4487]

Yes, polish up the Cybertruck then ceramic coat it. Some pretty spicey content in Elon's Xes today.

You have to polish your cybertruck using CT power outlets :)

Super charger reviews are sometimes gold!

[@marcogpt]

Thank you. Great show

[@dr.swaster8763]

If you polish. Maybe be selective on the panels you do. Just do the sides and front and back but keep the top and angled sides around the windows brushed

[@Treking]

As an Electrical Engineer, I can tell you for certain that an inverter (DC to AC) and a charger (AC to DC) are completely different in design and the parts they use, and that there is absolutely positively no way to simply run either one of them "in reverse" without letting out the magic smoke. The only reason I can think of to disable the bed inverter in one charging mode but not the other might be one of heat. If a part that is near the bed inverter gets hot in one charging mode but not the other. that could cause the bed inverter to also heat up, and that could be the reason why it is disabled in one charging mode but not the other. Also, if the Inverter and Charger are in the same enclosure as a single replaceable part, this would exacerbate the heating issue.

[@tedoptional-p8l]

As a Applied Computing person, (my twin brother is an electrical engineer), I can say that you are partly correct. What they are talking about is using the D/C to A/C converter/inverter to do both up converting 240 Volt A/C to 400 / 800 Volts and D/C to 240Volt / 120 Volt A/C at the same time. It was not designed for that. But there are at least two of them for split charging. Four, I think. It is a marvelous system. Remember that the Tesla uses both A/C and D/C motors.

[@Treking]

@@tedoptional-p8l What you say is true, but my comment was directed at Jesse's statement that you could "run that in reverse" in relation to the "inverter". You can not. The Tesla engineer called it an "AC/DC Converter" which is correct. It combines the function of an inverter and a charger and some computer controlled switching elements. The Tesla Engineer also said that the "AC/DC Converter" was not used during DC fast charging, so it was available for use as an inverter (DC to AC) for the bed outlets. So, to sum up, the inverter is part of the "AC/DC Converter", which includes a charger, an inverter, and switching. However if you ever were to run an "inverter" in reverse, it WILL let out the magic smoke. Sorry to be pedantic, but words do have meanings.

[@olebloom1641]

Yup, mirror finish on CT.

[@christopherjones837]

Can't wait to see the polished truck Also here's my referral link since y'all will cap out soon I imagine 24:00

[@nettlesoup]

Team, thanks for another great episode but I can't explain to you how annoying the final two minutes are now that KZbin app on my Android device no longer lets me zoom into the Supercharger map. Please, please, I don't know how I can convince you but I cannot concentrate on the map while the names are flying by. It's too distracting. Consider again delaying the picture-in-picture until the SuC Info has finished? Or, can anyone please tell me how to zoom in on my Android phone now that pinch-to-zoom seems to have become disabled? How about using the browser? Again, no way it seems. Thanks.

[@77chickox]

Zach and Jess: While I think the referral program makes sense, I’m hesitant to do so because of my concerns about the lack of Tesla Service Centers, the lengthy times it takes to get an appointment and the quality of their work. Despite seeing many Teslas where I live, I’m about 90 miles from the nearest service center. My service appointments have been on the average 2 or 3 weeks out and I’ve had to go multiple times because the issue with car hasn’t been properly fixed. Mobile service has been available but there have been instances where they don’t have the capability to fix my issues, cracked windshield and camera (cruise control). I want you guys to solicit other owners with similar stories and do a video to discuss this Tesla glaring shortcoming. Despite initial claims that Tesla’s are ‘maintenance free’, I have not found that not to be the case, especially when the cameras and electronic board go bad. I’m now hesitant to recommend a Tesla to anyone because of this lack of service options. My feeling is that service centers should be as close as Superchargers to customers. There are 11 Supercharger locations closer than my Service Center. Is it too much to ask for one within 50 miles where I live?

[@richf3654]

I would say it's unfortunate that I have had to use service several times but it has always been good from my experience here in Pittsburgh.

[@eclecticcyclist]

Do you think that FSD unsupervised will be first tested at Giga Austin fo moving finished cars between the factory and the outbound lot?

[@roberthunter779]

Used to have a BSA Victor motorcycle. It had a stainless gas tank. Used to polish up like that using a polish compound called “Mothers” Good stuff. But doing a whole Cybertruck is a tad crazy. But it would take care of that tarnish some owners were talking about.

Talking about the BYD Shark, It's a good price in Mexico. The ranger starts a bit lower but it's the work version, and only come in gas or diesel. So for the same cost you're getting a more feature pack truck that is a plug-in hybrid. I've seen a few in Pierdas Negras, Mex /Eagle Pass, TX, since the closest BYD distriuber is close to 4 hours away. But i've also seen BYD, MG, and other brands of EV that can't get in the USA.

[@slowercuber7767]

14:43 don't understand why Tesla is making them? I worked at Bell as a co-op for a time back in the later seventies. One quarter I worked in a group where we ordered "data sets" (aka modems) for customers who wanted to hook their computers and/or terminal equipment up to their land-lines. At the time, no one was allowed to hook up non-authorised equipment (that is pretty much anything not sold by Bell) directly to the phone system. Bell had to control access to protect the system at large from possibly malicious (or system-circumventing) equipment. It also meant that Bell had a monopoly on the tech with little motivation to control costs, since they were all passed on to the customers. I credit Tesla more with concern over protecting the charging equipment and EVs from damage from misbehaving or sub-spec adapters than anything else, as the parallels between pre-1982 Bell and current Tesla are slim. As a sometime supercharger (I've made about 7,000 miles of long trips from Alabama in February, April and June this year, and value having reliably functioning superchargers on the road, so I am somewhat comforted that Tesla is supplying the connectors.

Tesla could engineer a version of Hardware 4 for earlier cars. Apparently there are physical differences in the sizes and shapes of the package, so this would take some work, but should be possible. They'd also either have to upgrade cameras or modify the software to use the lower res ones. We can always dream. HW4 showed up in Model Ys only a few months after I got mine. 🙂

Hey, just FYI, just came from my Kia dealership. Had to wait 7 weeks for oil change/rear brake job. But while I was waiting, heard service gal quoting 8 week waits on service. So, not unique to Tesla.

[@fabianbonasera]

SUGGESTION: To keep the supercharger reviews concise and systematic, there could be a template or list of things to say and in which order. Mention the list on every show so contributors can get it BEFORE making their videos. Example: Know the following before recording starts. 1. location in country , town, property 2. how many / what type / pull thru /etc 3. walking distance amenities 4.ease of access / special instructions 5. view / scenic / appearance 6. Keep it short and concise, make sure to shoot in landscape only, and pan around slowly to show the superchargers and everything around them.
