That is what’s happening.

SpaceX knows which satellites were sold to the Ukrainian government though and could apply additional filtering. That’s the easiest first step.

To prevent Ukrainian dishes from falling into Russian hands you’d also need some sort of rolling authentication code so the dish becomes inoperable after a period of time.

Simply being in Russian territory doesn’t guarantee a Russian is using it as it could be Ukrainian special forces deep in enemy territory.

If it goes that low before gen 3 is out, I hope I got cash available.

If it goes that low after gen 3 comes out and fails, not so much!

It was very obvious 2024 was not going to meet the 50% goal and they’ve been warning us for years about it.

50% with some years over and some years under based on when we do vehicle launches is what they’ve been saying for quite a long time now.

The only way 2024 was ever going to be above that trend line, or even in its vicinity is if the Gen 3 platform launched, and it’s been clear for over a year now this wasn’t happening in 2024.

Probably like mid 2022 this was the obvious outcome for 2024.

And yet everyone is acting like the sky is falling.

The sky is falling when gen 3 comes out and it doesn’t sell well at reasonable profit. If it sells with reasonable profit, everyone is going to be hospitalized with whiplash as they start spiking deliveries again and March their way to 7-10 million vehicles based off the platform (multiple vehicles in the platform)

But ya, 2024 is a dud year. It’s been a dud year vehicle wise for over a year already.

I feel like I’ve just been given an invaluable tip that I may have never ever received had I not taken part in this conversation about socks.

I’ll remember this should I ever go to NYC

What’s this thing called summer socks? I wear the same wool socks all year and it’s great! It’s either wool socks or sockless sandels.

I only wear wool socks and work from home. I can easily go 4-5 days if I’ve only gone outside to get groceries or whatnot.

If I’m going out to socialize though and it’s been more than 2 days I’ll get a fresh pair.

Wool socks? Camping on a beach i would have just washed them in the water at least once and gone sockless while they dried.

Wait… what was toilet paper before it was a roll? It’s one of those things you just think always was…

I wasn’t talking about FSD, I was talking about AP.

Although if you use FSD, to sign up, you need to acknowledge this (among other things)

“Full Self-Driving is in early limited access Beta and must be used with additional caution. It may do the wrong thing at the worst time, so you must always keep your hands on the wheel and pay extra attention to the road. Do not become complacent,”

If it leaves Beta in V12, and that warning is gone, there will be problems probably =( It’s not ready to lose such an extreme warning. And it legit shouldn’t leave beta until they take on liability and it’s legit FSD.

When you sit in the car, it really doesn’t though. When you enable it, it clearly warns you about the dangers involved and to always pay attention. The radar versions even warned you about specific situations it would fail in and potentially cause a fatal accident. All cars that rely on radar have that issue and warn their users.

Anyone who’s used it knows it clearly has problems, and honestly, it can be a little nerve racking getting used to using at first as well, because it does have problems and you need to learn them. My partner doesn’t like using it because of those problems.

The majority of people causing accidents on it have simply grown accustomed to it. They know when it will usually fail, and then make poor choices and end up in a rare circumstance. People are just people and make all sorts of bad choices. Some people follow the GPS off a bridge or into a lake.

That’s not to say I don’t think there’s room for Tesla to improve on this, like using the in cabin camera to further help detect if someone is paying attention or not, but ultimately it falls on the driver to pay attention.

If you happen to be given a Tesla with AP already enabled on your profile, and you’ve only gone off what you heard in the media then sure maybe, but those aren’t the people causing problems. And really, if you rent a Tesla, I really do hope it’s all disabled by default so you have to turn it on and go through the setup. That would be a legit problem in my mind otherwise.

I’m going to get downvoted to hell here, but if you defend google here, you should be defending Tesla when someone severely misuses auto-pilot.

Play games on AP and don’t pay attention causing crash, not Tesla’s fault. Drive off a bridge cause the GPS tells you to, not Google’s fault.

You’re responsible for driving your car at all times.

Energy density on these are woefully inadequate for cars, but that doesn’t matter for stationary storage which is what this is for.

daaaaaaamn. That’s brilliant.

Was just thinking on this more and had a laugh at someone saying this out loud

Them: “Did you see my X last night, i ripped them a new one!”
Friend: “You did what to your ex last night? Does your wife know!?”

I wonder what term will replace tweet… it worked so well. Oh I tweeted this last night…

People aren’t going to say I X’d that last night. Sure you can say I posted something on X or I dunno, but I don’t think they’ll ever get something as good as tweeting on twitter.

Please find me a post by Elon where he supports people jailbreaking his cars to get features for free that isn’t about a white hacker hacking competition to expose bugs.

We don’t pay for phone updates, but there is software out there that’s a buy a version and get all updates to that version, but not a new version.

E.g buy 5.0, get 5.1, 5.2, 5.2.1, 5.3 etc but not 6.0

Usually that kinda software stays on a version for years.

My Jetbrains IDE is a subscription fee like that. Yearly fee gets you all major version updates, but you keep it as is if you stop paying.

Phone updates don’t come for the life of the car phone either.

Would you pay a yearly fee to continue getting updates for your now no longer being updated but perfectly fine otherwise phone? I would.

If your problem with my statement is that Tesla shouldn’t even be allowed to charge them for it in the first place then we’ll have to disagree. They can sell whatever product they want with features locked away. If people don’t want to buy a SR because it doesn’t have heated seats without a fee then don’t buy it.

Trying to make heated seats a subscription is where I’d draw the line and say regulators should step in.

And again, no qualms with people jailbreaking heated seats

See my original edit which was before this reply, and my follow up to another person on the same post replying like you.

I’m not objecting to unlocking heated seats. I do object and consider something like FSD entirely different though.

You left with the hardware, and accepted that it was locked. You didn’t pay for access to it.

In my edit which was well before your reply, I explicitly stated I’m okay with you bypassing a lock like that to gain access to heated seats. You have a right to modify your car and tough luck if tesla didn’t protect it well enough. That’s not your problem, that’s theirs.

FSD is another matter though. It’s actively developed software that’s pushed to the car if you paid for it. Software that will in the future push liability onto Tesla if they are successful. Tesla doesn’t have any obligation to provide that software, updates, or access to it regardless of any hack that’s done, and I imagine the NHSTA would even require them to devise a way to prevent access due to liability issues that might arise.

Edit: one is accessing something you own but don’t have access to through a hole they left open. The other is piracy/theft
