@ChadMoran @scottbuscemi Every Juniper I test driven (qty 3) has had a noisy front suspension over bumps and rough roads at low speeds….drowned out at higher speeds. Made me not want to buy the car and stick with a 3…

@scottbuscemi What I don't understand is how I can be from where if it has 2,000 miles in the odometer

For those asking about the Model Y issue. I was told it’s common for 2026 Ys and requires having the upper control arm mounts replaced.

@OutofSpecDetail And when not speeding, it’s driving below the limit. There should be a target speed setting to maintain constant speed with variance allowed for passing maneuvers.

Why can you not just set a max speed with FSD? Makes no sense to be linked to an arbitrary “speed profile”

@TrungTPhan Wait until they (NYC and McKinsey) all realize that even trash cans can’t stop the rats!🐀 #ChicagoRats

New York City paid Mckinsey $4m to conduct a feasibility study on whether trash bins are better than leaving garbage on the street. The deck is 95-slides long and titled “The Future of Trash”. Some highlights: ▫️The official term is “containerization”, which is the “storage of waste in sealed, rodent-proof receptacles rather than in plastic bags placed directly on the curb.” ▫️Two main types of containerization: 1) individual bins for low density locales; 2) shared containers for high-density. ▫️NYC needs to clean up 24,000,000lbs of garbage a day ▫️Containerization has only become the norm worldwide in major cities in the past 15 years. ▫️New York City first considered containerization in the 1970s but never conducted a feasibility study until now (Mckinsey’s sales team has been dropping the ball) ▫️Key considerations for container viability: • POPULATION DENSITY: NYC has 30k residents per square mile (more dense than comparable big cities) • BUILT ENVIRONMENT: Few places to “hide” containers due to history of infrastructure development. • WEATHER: Snow creates challenges for “mechanized collection” in the winter. • CURB SPACE: Mostly taken up by bus stops, bike lanes, outdoor dining and fire hydrants. • COLLECTION FREQUENCY: NYC needs to double frequency of pick-up for estimated speed of trash that bins would accumulate. • FLEET: A new garbage truck will needs to be designed to collect rolling bins at scale. ▫️ The proposed solution (literally garbage bins and shared containers) covers 89% of NYC streets and 77% of residential tonnage. ▫️The three case studies — because you gotta have solid case studies — are Amsterdam, Paris and Barcelona. ▫️There is a slide called “Why containerization matters” and three reasons are “rats”, “pedestrian obstruction” and “dirty streets” (the 21-year intern that did this slide billed at prob $10k an hour is my hero). The study is actually pretty interesting. I have no idea if $4m is a rip-off to learn that “yeah, we should put garbage in bins so rats don’t eat it” but I would have happily done it for 10-20% of that budget (and come to a similar conclusion).

@WGNNews @WGNTV @ChicagosMayor so are we throwing a parade for @TomSkilling5’s retirement next month?!

Over 100 db sound at full speed! You should be giving out ear plugs!

@cta car 2994 currently on the blue line needs to be removed from service! Never been on a louder or bumpier car in my life (you’d swear the wheels were flat!)

@cta How about a timer/countdown at O’Hare so people know when the next blue line train is leaving and can plan/hustle accordingly (will also let people move to the further trains cars without fear of missing it)

@elonmusk @Tesla Can we get the “Activate” button for the homelink garage door opener larger? It’s only present when geo-located near the garage so just make it big and easy to activate! The auto open/close is too inconsistent, and sometimes need to “cancel” quickly.

@GretaThunberg I don’t support Tate; but he is right, “don’t recycle pizza boxes” if they are soaked in grease from the pizza. It will contaminate the recycling box and make more trash!

this is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes

@mschuler_chi @BrachyDonger @ComEd Not quite a free market since ComEd is a public utility and the only provider of electricity in Chicago. Negative prices don’t last long as they reduce capacity quickly. I’ve never seen rates that high, even on the hottest days in summer. Can I sell back for that rate?

@HoffHouse @BrachyDonger @ComEd There are times when electricity prices are negative due to spare capacity. There is a rate cap, all residential customers are on flat rate unless they opt in to variable pricing…this is how free market works!

@ComEd Hi, what the hell?

@duty2warn A “Stay-to-play” scheme if I ever saw one!

Breaking: Officials from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Turkey and China spent up to 10k a night-more than $750,000–at Trump’s Hotel in Washington while seeking to influence policy. If only we had an emoluments clause in our Constitution.

@90sConcert @duty2warn @TMobile A classic $StayToPlay scheme!

@cta Why do I gotta watch 3 Express 9 buses bunched up pass me by a stop. Change one to a regular 9!

@WPeterRay @marcorubio FYI: That photo is photoshopped they switched the position of the people.

@marcorubio Yet you enabled this......

I can’t emphasize enough how much #Putin & his risk calculus have changed He will push Belarus into war,use chemical or biological weapons,slaughter millions & impose Stalinist restrictions in #Russia to avoid humiliation or the perception that he was forced to back down

@elonmusk @Teslarati @ResidentSponge I have to provide input every time the car tries to center on an entrance ramp merge…going on three years now and if I let autopilot do it I look like a drunk driver!

@Teslarati @ResidentSponge Almost all input is error. Car should do the right thing automatically.

Fanmade Tesla custom V11 UI concept shows how simple it would be to address one of drivers’ biggest complaints teslarati.com/tesla-software… by @ResidentSponge

@sweatybrow1 @elonmusk @FrenchieEAP @karpathy Don’t recognize the skyline?! It’s Chicago; getting on the eastbound Kennedy expressway (I90/94) at Augusta Blvd. We have metered on ramps at many entrances. Wish Tesla would do more Midwest testing…our roads are $#¥!, our lines are not always visible and we have short merges!

After ~9mon of beta testing, it's amazing to see how much progress has been made. #FSDBeta9 struggles to get on highway but correct itself by changing route safety. FSD is ostensibly indistinguishable from human driving @elonmusk @karpathy Full video: youtu.be/HMn2VUui-LU

@chicagosmayor @chicagotribune where are we supposed to put all this snow from the alley? Push it to the main street or hire a melter? Help! #SnowMonth
