As long as they don’t charge idle fees right away… these things can charge so fast you would have to leave mid shopping. When we stop on road trips it’s usually just enough time to get out, stretch, take a piss, eat some fast food and go.
Thank you emails on their own are kind of pointless, but it’s a crucial tool for applicant to address anything that they realize might have been missed or to clarify something they thought was important.
It’s a perfect opportunity to offer thanks and further your case for the position, but it should be relevant to the interview.
BYD still isn’t as profitable on their EVs as well. They make most of their money on the PHEVs.
Obviously this decline in sales has an impact on that, but that’s a political/brand damage/Elon thing, not Tesla’s ability to make EVs that are more profitable.
While it’s definitely the KGB’s handbook, I think they got a little help from Al-Qaida with 9/11. They deserve some of the credit as well for helping steer America this way. Victory to Russia. Victory to Al-Qaida.
Putting my LG G Flex which had a boot loop problem due to a soldering issue on the battery solved the problem temporarily!
Edit: oh also that was the freezer
It’s happened before
https://history-education.org/2025/01/29/jackson-and-the-constitutional-crisis/
The Supreme Court, under Chief Justice John Marshall, ruled that Georgia had no right to enforce laws within Cherokee territory because Native American tribes were sovereign nations. The ruling was a major victory for the Cherokee, affirming their legal right to remain on their land.
Jackson’s Response
Instead of enforcing the ruling, Jackson allegedly responded: “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!” (Though there’s debate about whether he actually said this.) Jackson sided with Georgia’s state government, which ignored the Supreme Court ruling and continued its efforts to remove the Cherokee people.
…
Congress viewed Jackson’s decision as a matter of executive discretion. Jackson was popular and nothing happened to him for defying the supreme court. This exposed the inability of the Supreme Court to force a president to comply, if they didn’t also have the support of Congress.
Their insurance is (was?) kind of like that as well if you get the saftey score one. While some things are more general and concrete like following distance, time of day driving, they have one for forward collision warnings.
I’m not sure how much time you’ve spent in a Tesla, but that system is notorious for going off incorrectly. It’s specifically really bad with parked cars on the side of the road on turns. So you’re driving along a city street with cars parked on the side and it goes off and now your insurance premiums are more expensive.
I don’t think you could find a single Tesla owner who hasn’t had multiple false warnings, and consistently in certain circumstances.
So someone of course starts a lawsuit and Tesla initially defends itself, but just last week or something like that, it’s no longer part of the safety score
I was just looking through the linked PDF and I’ll actually retract what I said earlier about not finding it wanting, and them just listing limitations.
In the research paper linked it is more explicit
“Despite these promising results, EMMA is not without its limitations. In particular, it faces challenges for real-world deployment due to: (1) limitations in 3D spatial reasoning due to its inability to fuse camera inputs with LiDAR or radar, (2) the need for realistic and computationally expensive sensor simulation to power its closed-loop evaluation, and (3) the increased computational requirements relative to conventional models. We plan to better understand and address such challenges in future work.”
This is more clear that it’s not just listing limitations, but it also finds it not doing as well because of it.
That I’d call wanting.
It goes further than that. They can track how people interact with the page, order of buttons pressed, if or when they abort a workflow etc. You can go as deep down the rabbit hole of analytics and optimizations as you want.

Psst… you know that Waymo is also looking into AI models that don’t use lidar? And it’s not just Tesla and Waymo now either, there’s some others as well.

We introduce EMMA, an End-to-end Multimodal Model for Autonomous driving. Built on a multi-modal large language model foundation, EMMA directly maps raw camera sensor data into various driving-specific outputs, including planner trajectories, perception objects, and road graph elements.
Thats not to say that it will be a success, but ya know, maybe it’s actually possible, and even Waymo seems to think it’s possible and worth researching. Thats a lot of people looking into something thats clearly “fundamentally flawed”
He’s on the record as saying freedom of speech, not freedom of reach in regards to X.
It just means he won’t ban you (but he’ll do that too!) but he has absolutely no problem making it so it’s almost impossible to see your content.
You think it’s going to be hard for Tesla to convince a city in Texas to let them do autonomous rides?
Texas.
I’m not suggesting they’ll do a lot of rides, but there will be at least a handful until something goes wrong sooner than it should and they force a pause.
Edit: and to be clear, something very wrong. Waymo does wrong things all the time and it’s allowed. It’s going to have to do enough wrong things in a short time or a very very bad thing sooner than it should. But they’ll do rides until that.
I went somewhere that had a setup like that, shaded parking with solar panels ontop, and they had level 2 EV chargers, but they weren’t under the canopy, they were in the full sun :(
