they're going to dig the foundations for their first mars tesla factory and accidentally discover a long-dormant virus that can only be described as covid-9001

MomJeans420 posted:Also, I'm hesitant to blame the tweet below on Tesla versus the driver hitting the wrong pedal, but I could see both being equally likely. Especially the one where the guy says he always one foot drives, seems unlikely he just mashed the accelerator. Perhaps the average driver doesn't need crazy acceleration from a stop. I mean, a couple of things here: firstly, it sounds like people do some weird stuff where there basically one-pedal drive and expect the car to take care of the other pedal (eg the guy who said he tried to brake by just taking his foot off the accelerator, and normally the car slams the brakes when he does that), to which I say WTF? Secondly, all four of these involve the car accelerating into a wall while trying to park. That could be operator error or it could be an error with the car's automatic acceleration. But how hard is it to put proximity sensors on the front and have it automatically brake if there's an obstacle there, and why isn't that a standard safety feature?

i remember seeing an experiment where they put a cockroach in a vr environment on a spherical treadmill and got their movements to drive a little robot car. why build an AI that's dumber than a fruitfly when you can just use an actual insect? also while i was trying to find video of that experiment i found this lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWAK0J8Uhzk

they'll make self driving work but it'll be by getting a bunch of people in vr cubes in the Philippines to take over the driving. The $$$ you spend enabling it is to pay their families off

last winter i watched my boss park his tesla on an icy hill, get out of the car, and then about 10 seconds later it slid slowly to the bottom of the hill narrowly missing two other parked cars i don't think that was specifically because it was a tesla but still lol

Some of the cells catapulted from the high-voltage battery pack have already been found, including one that smashed through a window, landed on a bed, and started a fire.

TheDarkFlame posted:Oh poo poo the car is literally powered by a bucket full of vape batteries. Yeah that was my thought. I know someone (Combat Theory?) had said that, unlike other EV manufacturers, they were using "cylindrical cells" or something. I don't think I'd quite realised it was this. How does that even make sense from an engineering perspective? Isn't space at a premium in these cars? Wouldn't you want the space in between the cells to be equal for even heat dissipation?

They’re not vape cells. They’re a little bit larger so they can’t contract them out and get economies of scale, but not enough to make a qualitative difference in performance. They cool them by snaking a ribbon throughout the battery and pumping liquid through it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNd-yJtRPhk&t=430s Platystemon fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Nov 23, 2020 |

initially they used 18650s because it was cheaper to buy off-the-shelf batteries than to develop and design batteries for their cars (the models s and x use these). since they spent the time developing a cooling system (the only part of their battery tech that can actually be called "innovative") they stuck with that, but started using the larger 2170s in the model 3 and y. they have since announced the even bigger 4680 that, again, offers little actual performance improvement, but they can use fewer in a car - i think the intention is redesign all models to use these. if this trend continues, they will eventually have a single, car-sized cylindrical battery that can be replaced like a tv remote
