  1. Hudson, NH Service Center in the works

    I can attest to the "understaffed". That being said, this center is just one more reason for me to get an R2 for my wife to replace her 25 year old Camry when we can get the rest of the down payment (and interest rates go down some). I can literally WALK to the place and my normal training...
  2. Next R2 Software Wishlist

    For me, futilely, it's CarPlay. I could have any client I want for music/podcasts. A better voice recognition system. Conversational AI in September. Waze. Audible, Podcasts. WhatsApp, TelegramSignal, Messenger.Teams, Zoom, Phone conferencing. EV network maps. Parking apps. Travel apps...
  3. R2 range based on ABRP (implied highway ranges)

    It's pretty variable in my Model 3. 65mph, steady, mild/warm - I burn ~240 Wh/mi. Drafting a bus or semi? I can get that down under 200 (<225 easily). Driving lazily around local/secondary roads is 160-180. In the rain on the highway? That's more like 280-310. And I've noticed, cruise...
  4. Explain to me like I’m 5…is software really that hard?

    It takes time but... Here, we were breaking the mold. What you brought up is one reason contractors have historically done the coding - but we started up a software factory here - with employees and active duty actually doing the programming. The problems we had were: 1) Active duty...
  5. Explain to me like I’m 5…is software really that hard?

    Man... You are.. Wow.... AI? Are you serious? I work for the Air Force - we have several software development and maintenance contracts in our branch. I've been a lifelong software engineer/architect - literally since the Ford Administration. And I can say, you really don't know what you're...
  6. Explain to me like I’m 5…is software really that hard?

    I've been in the trenches since the 1970s. It's hard. And when you hear that Windows XP had 35-45 *million* lines of code - just TRY managing that. Even Windows NT 3.5 from 1994 had about 8 million. In the early 1990s, I was part of a team of software engineers in addition to being the...
  7. What charging gear does R2 come with? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    FWIW - In all the time I've owned my 2018 Tesla Model 3 (with 139,000 miles on it), I've needed an adapter 3 times. Once with the mobile connector at an AirBnB so I could get a few miles on their outside 'household' plug. And twice in public places. The first was at a charger in the parking...
  8. Common Myths About CarPlay

    That’s exactly why I said “partially” and “could be”. I mean, SiriusXM made an app for Tesla (good) and then made it suck canal water by demanding a separate subscription (even though, with a regular subscription, you get free streaming access to all the channels). I was really looking forward...
  9. Common Myths About CarPlay

    Here's the reason for CarPlay (and it's probably similar for Android). There are over 80 apps that run on CarPlay (I read 84 the other day). They all have their purposes and Apple is a lot tougher on approving apps for CarPlay than the other platforms. All these apps have developers that are...
