@gmcgary @Sassafrass_84 LOL, Nothing like making reference to something that was done over a year ago. Let's compare what Mercedes offers against FSD 14. In the US the Mercedes, if I remember, only works in CA and NV on specific roads and under very limited conditions.

@chadhegerty @Sassafrass_84 cnbc.com/2025/02/04/why…

So... can we get a Tesla SUV? Not the cyber truck. But an SUV that self drives. 7 seater. I would buy one. Just asking...👀 K, thanks.

Yea. Dont be like Dick.

@TheEXECUTlONER_ The cars that I would purchase from the dealer I gave the option to include the license plate frame with their logo but if they had it with a sticker or stick-on the vehicle itself the deal was off.

This woman doesn’t want the car dealership’s logo on her car that she just bought from them. She takes a heat gun and removes the logo. I thought it was just me that it drives crazy but apparently not. If people are going to be driving around advertising for a dealership, shouldn’t the dealership pay you? 💯 Many said they won’t leave the dealership unless they remove it. Also, don’t want the dealership license player frame either. Does the car dealership logo bother you? Have you ever given it much thought? Or, do you think people like that are being ridiculous?

@gmcgary @Sassafrass_84 LOL, that is really funny. I took a former Mercedes executive out in my CT when it had FSD 12 or 11 and he said nothing Mercedes had could handle the short drive we did around New Jersey. version 14 is so much better than that experience I look forward to showing him the latest.

@Sassafrass_84 Mercedes has more advanced self driving than Tesla does.

@kelleyfarmwife @Sassafrass_84 I think you forgot your /s for sarcasm. 🤪

@Sassafrass_84 Also, longer battery life. I need to be able to drive 13 hours without stopping for long to charge!

I cannot believe this... They just pulled down the Iryna Zarutska mural in Providence, Rhode Island today. The mayor called her memorial “divisive.” George Floyd got murals in EVERY MAJOR CITY and it was called "UNITY"!!! ...but Iryna's face on a wall is divisive?!!!

@AIDRIVR You don't have to but you know you want to. They are amazing vehicles.

Welp, it fits Does this mean I have to buy one?

Race should not have anything to do with who you vote for. If the people of LA like how their city is then for sure vote for the same people that let it go to crap. If you want to change the city then vote in Spencer Pratt and see if change of thought could actually make the city better.

Let me ask. Black people of LA are you voting for Spencer Pratt? If so why? - not bots please. I need actual black people.

@MaryamF12389 A

Spot the odd one out….. not as easy as it looks! Only sharp minds will get it right 💡🤔

@Beno10_MFC D

Strong eye test. Which stand mixer is different? 99% people failed.

You seem to think through issues in very simple thoughts. If what you mention is true then why could no one else since the 50s be successful in the endeavor. Please spare me the hughsnet and viastat as examples as they are no where comparable. Amazon might but they seem to be struggling as well.

@chadhegerty @nottombrown @conflict_desk @SpaceX @Starlink Starlink is just a refinement of the 1950s "communication satellite", which had massive advantages versus terrestrial alternatives for reasons that should be obvious. We're talking about data centers.

Terrestrial datacenters will increasingly be bottlenecked by permitted real estate space. Lots of space in space.

@didymus77 @nottombrown @conflict_desk @SpaceX I am sure that they would called you right away

@chadhegerty @nottombrown @conflict_desk @SpaceX It's incredibly unlikely that SpaceX engineers have invented some magical new way to make heat go away (that isn't conduction, convection, or radiation). I think we would have heard about it if they had.

@didymus77 @nottombrown @conflict_desk @SpaceX lol, how big do you think these data centers in space will be? You make it sound like they are launching a building full of servers as one unit.

@chadhegerty @nottombrown @conflict_desk @SpaceX For a data center level of heat I think you are talking about a radiator the size of a couple of football fields at least. Orientable and multilayer insulated so that the side facing the Sun or Earth picks up minimal heat.

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that responding to a post was trying to win an argument. You appear to be the almighty wizard of heat so maybe you are correct. I am placing my opinions that while you may have a valid point that the issue can and will be dealt with. You just keep doing you.

@chadhegerty @nottombrown @conflict_desk @SpaceX My man, you were not even familiar with the idea that waste heat is a problem in space. You didn't understand thermodynamics in relation to the environment of space. For you engineers might as well be priests. You're just a fanboy. That's okay but don't expect to win arguments.

@SawyerMerritt No frunk with that large of a hood/bonnet!! What the heck are they putting in all of that space?

Correct. Both things are possible and probable. Two different viewpoints that you and I have. Nothing wrong with either and time will show who is correct. Similar to when @Starlink started as an idea. Many said it would not work because others tried and failed but look at what is happening. Seems to be working pretty well so far.

@chadhegerty @nottombrown @conflict_desk @SpaceX Those engineers not only have to solve the problem of making an orbital data center POSSIBLE, they also have to make it a more economically viable option than terrestrial data centers.

@didymus77 @nottombrown @conflict_desk @SpaceX lol, ignorant in what way? You post government viewpoints as if they are facts. I only stated that I trust the engineers that actually interact with space issues as part of their focus.

@chadhegerty @nottombrown @conflict_desk @SpaceX "I'm an ignorant fanboy". Thanks.

As I mentioned I trust that the engineers within @SpaceX might have some ideas for how to handle this. I am not an expert in this field but understand the concept of how the smaller satellites acting with the others creat a virtual data center of usefulness. Time will tell who is correct. I wish them luck

@chadhegerty @nottombrown @conflict_desk @SpaceX nss.org/settlement/nas…

@didymus77 @nottombrown @conflict_desk Please elaborate. The heat is consumed by the cold of space to where it should not be an issue. I trust that @SpaceX might understand the needs over most of us.

@nottombrown @conflict_desk Starlink has not solved the problem of getting rid of a data center's level of waste heat.
