@TeslaTrackerUS With this confirmation that HW3 vehicles cannot achieve unsupervised FSD and given the option to get into an AI4 vehicle is this confirmation that those with AI4 cars will get unsupervised FSD and not be forced to an AI5 vehicle?

🧠 HW3 Tesla owners now have 2 paths • Tesla now says HW3 cannot achieve Unsupervised FSD • FSD buyers are being offered a discounted trade-in into an AI4 vehicle, plus FSD transfer • That moves the issue from software timing to a hard compute ceiling

Brakes also get hot from taxiing to the runway pilots often ride them lightly to keep speed down, especially on bigger jets or short taxiways. Right after take off as well wheels are spinning at 160knots or so (depending on set take off speeds and aircraft). brakes will auto apply a bit to stop them from spinning during retraction which builds up heat as well. Various different factors

Boeing 787-9 takeoff, doesn't retract landing gear. The landing gear door automatically opened 1 second after liftoff, but pilots didn't retract the gear, so after 30 seconds, it closed.

Tomorrow, we launch. At sunset tonight, Artemis II waits on the pad, ready to carry astronauts potentially farther than any humans have traveled in more than half a century. The next era of exploration begins.

If you’re ever unfortunate enough to see an engine failure like this on the aircraft you’re travelling in, a couple of reasons you don’t need to be scared (Although I understand it’s human nature).. 1) Firstly it’s very rare. Most pilots are likely to have one engine failure per career as new engines are VERY reliable. 2) The flight crew train and are tested for this exact scenario every 6 months in the simulator. Dealing with one becomes second nature as we’ve practised it so often. 3) Our first priority is making sure the aircraft is flying somewhere safe (Away from terrain) so the fire might not get extinguished immediately. The engine is designed to contain it in the meantime. 4) Lastly, and don’t take this the wrong way, communicating with the cabin is a fair way down the priority list so it might be a while before we speak to you. This does not mean it’s not being dealt with. #avgeek #avgeeks #aviation

Two Canadian pilots died. Oil prices are hurting people’s pockets badly. Our economy is under attack and we’re focused on a language debate. What is really happening right now?? Let’s allow Air Canada’s CEO to apologize and let’s move on.

Our government is a joke!
Legally MILF@legallymsjuno

Quick aviation fact for the committee: English is the OFFICIAL international language of aviation per ICAO standards—pilots & controllers worldwide MUST use it for safety to avoid deadly mix-ups. Every pilot speaks English operationally. Yet Air Canada CEO records crash condolences mostly in English (with a couple French words thrown in) after a tragedy that killed two pilots, including one from Quebec → gets SUMMONED to Ottawa by the Official Languages Committee to 'explain himself' before May 1. Because apparently a 4-minute video not being perfectly bilingual is the real emergency here. Meanwhile, anglophones in Québec get treated like second-class citizens EVERY DAY: French text legally 2x bigger on signs (thanks Bill 96), constant language policing, and daily reminders anglophones are outsiders in their own country. But sure, THIS is the national crisis worth a parliamentary grilling. Priorities, eh?

I’ve been lucky. Renter wise. Nothing near as bad here. Just to give you an idea from my point of view with 2 vehicles I have on Turo. Car payments $700 month insurance $650 = $1350 is what I need to clear to break even on Turo with the bills for cars only and we comfortably do that while also making profit and putting money aside for wear and tear repairs. Because you’re a mechanic you’d save a lot of money compared to going to Tesla dealership we save a lot more because we know a guy that’s great working on our teslas as long as it isn’t high voltage related. I won’t say it’s guaranteed by any means it’s a tough market and a lot of the same cars out there now. It really depends on what you have to offer compared to the others, those reviews and area you live in.

@BillyPickles6 @EZebroni Thanks for sharing! I’m an EV enthusiast and mechanic looking at this as a potential source of income. I’m following him now as well. Hopefully all of your renters treat your vehicles with respect.

Our Turo guest left us a 4-star review and marked “low tire pressure” as an area of improvement. As a Power Host, we know to take photos of the tire pressure before and after each trip. Before the trip, the tire pressures were all in range without any low pressure warnings. After the trip, we found the front passenger was low and that there was a screw in the tire. I happily remove the screw and plugged the hole. I didn’t even bother the guest about it. However, they left us a 4-star review. Nice.

Working on it still to fresh to get a real accurate cost analysis. Wife and I just started this late January this year. Just to get skin in the game we did unlimited KM and drop the price a bit to get reviews and rentals for exposure. We were just breaking even with that. Now with reviews and decent bookings we’ve adjusted pricing and added KM limits, should be able to tell soon. Still new to the game found @EZebroni AFTER getting the cars on Turo and his posts scare the absolute shit out of me lol.

This is great news. Lots of false videos and AI manipulation going on especially with the war going on in the Middle East.
Nikita Bier@nikitabier

Today we are revising our Creator Revenue Sharing policies to maintain authenticity of content on Timeline and prevent manipulation of the program. During times of war, it is critical that people have access to authentic information on the ground. With today’s AI technologies, it is trivial to create content that can mislead people. Starting now, users who post AI-generated videos of an armed conflict—without adding a disclosure that it was made with AI—will be suspended from Creator Revenue Sharing for 90 days. Subsequent violations will result in a permanent suspension from the program. This will be flagged to us by any post with a Community Note or if the content contains meta data (or other signals) from generative AI tools. We will continue to refine our policies and product to ensure X can be trusted during these critical moments.

By the time the wind sheer hit altitude was too low to initiate full engine spool go around. Even if they hit full throttle by the time the engines engage and give enough thrust for lift again they would’ve been on the ground. Safe management and control was best option which they did IMO.

For those that have @Apple #iphones how in the hell can I get rid of whatever is happening here when on FaceTime video with my wife? To be clear… nothing was actually “showing” even if there was from MY WIFE whatever but all she was doing was talking to me but because of what she is wearing it keeps doing this crap!! She finds it hilarious I’m annoyed and want to disable this crap but can’t figure out how!!!

Should note that SpaceX will only try to catch the ship with the tower after two perfect soft landings in the ocean. The risk of the ship breaking up over land needs to be very low.
