Electric Future

@YoKeenan10 @JoshWest247 how about you just don't?

I was spared by the Robotaxi network very lucky. I also pulled a @JoshWest247 move by testing the steering sensitivity. The steering really tightens, but I am not doing that again after what Josh experienced afterward.

It’s that time of year when Sydneysiders step outside dressed for an Antarctic expedition.

@DunghLam This is my first version of FSD. I swear it's far better already since last week

@electricfuture5 Hey with previous versions did you ever notice any incremental improvements within the same version before the new versions came out?

We neeeeeed it DU

@JDDecoded @matt_barrie 🤡. It's nothing to do with safety and everything for revenue raising.

@matt_barrie Don't speed. How hard is it not to? It's a tax on the stupid.

How many people are getting warning letters from Transport for NSW suddenly for sub 10k/h infractions. Apparently the flow cameras have been turned into speed cameras.

@EVStraya FSD hates tunnels. Super annoying.

Central Coast to Canberra this evening. Some FSD v14.3.3 thoughts: * Maintaining speed is 1000% times better than v13 * NorthConnex tunnel - took the exit to pennant hills before I had the opportunity to disengage. * M7 disengagement when car tried to take the great western highway exit (I wasn’t doing 2 detours on the one drive) * Had no instances of car trying to take an emergency lane / rest area like others have mentioned * Lane changes were pretty solid, good overtaking. * Random indicators happened a couple of times. Simply cancelled * No critical safety issues or other disengagements * Used hurry profile predominantly, couple areas of car dropping to 105km/hr, screen showed 100km/hr but seems greatly reduced with 2026.8 maps I’d easily take v14 on this route based on this drive. Return trip Wednesday morning so will see how that one goes.

@FleshAGordon No, because it will work perfectly the next time

@electricfuture5 Is it more likely that the algorithm stack has been manipulated such that the neural net parameters have changed. Essentially re-ordering the algorithmic choices that the FSD can make, and therefore taking longer to make the decisions and in doing so acting erratic.

I'm convinced that Tesla is A/B testing FSD behaviour at different times. After a day of near perfect driving in difficult conditions driving into a supercharger FSD 14.3.3 DU tries to drive straight into barriers. Critical disengagement.

@RealCGriff Concrete slab = beach?

Living in Chicago is awesome because you can just go chill on the beach whenever you want

@cactusglen0404 if you mean part of fleet learning and Tesla has always been up front about this , then yes. Nobody is forced to pay for FSD

@electricfuture5 Of course they are. We have all been Guinea pigs from day 1 for them. They funny thing is that we know this and have paid for this experience.

@DougSmart 100% was, was not slowing down

@electricfuture5 Wow. That looks like it was going to hit, for sure.

@kylieaussie FSD Down under.

@electricfuture5 Can you explain what FSD DU is to us povo HW3 people 😉🤣

Another day of pretty flawless driving of FSD DU! Once it gets highways and parking right at the end, it will be unstoppable

@GrandpaSproto @RedpillDrifter Agreed

@RedpillDrifter It was an annual tradition while growing up. Every year we would watch Willy Wonka when it came on and would eat moon pies until we were sick. It’s always been moon pies.

Mandella Effect has been ramping up. Remember Charlie's Grandpa gifts him a Wonka Bar, but finds no Golden Ticket? Go back and look, it's no longer a Wonka Bar. The Grandpa gifts him a Moon Pie? Makes zero sense since they all know the Wonka Bar is how you win. Clip below Is the recent CERN shutdown causing the timeline to glitch?

@PC__LoadLetter @NRMA Crazy expensive.

My closest DCFC is 93c/kWh. I can drop that down to 84c/kWh with my member discount, but even that is kinda absurd. Fortunately I rarely have to use it. Their charger at Coonamble is 10c cheaper. I wonder if the price premium for Walgett was a typo on @NRMA's part. Or just a reflection of that town's social problems/vandalism costs.

Since when did Jolt charging become such a rip off? They should all be ripped out at this price given their huge size profile

@bighein @MarkoMatvikov Singapore is one of the most boring places on the planet

@MarkoMatvikov His family will love Singapore too, it’s nice there, very comfortable for Aussies, you can get vegemite and everything, it’s like being in north Mosman

A mate of mine makes mega bucks working for a US company in Australia. He moved back here to be closer to his family a few years ago - and while he can make it work flying overseas most weeks, it’s very far from ideal. His plan is to retire early - his job is high pressure, high risk, high reward, and he invests most of what he earns so he doesn’t have to work for more than another decade or so. He’s always been furious at the tax he pays here - which is more than most people’s gross income - but as living costs keep increasing and his local investment opportunities keep dwindling, he’s reached the end of his tether. He’s now likely to move to Singapore and fly back fortnightly to see his family here - maybe just for a while, maybe longer as it’ll just be too hard to justify coming back to Australia. At the end of his career, he’ll sell the many millions in equity he holds in the company he works for - but of course he won’t be a tax resident in Australia when he does that. He’s aware of the ins and outs of the rules - including how he has to navigate changes in tax residency - and while he’ll still have to pay a lot in Australia, he’ll still save even more by moving. Australia didn’t create his job. An Australian company doesn’t pay his salary. He spends most of his time working overseas. Him being a tax resident in Australia is all upside for Australia. But it’s just so demoralising for him to work that hard, be further from where he needs to be to make work easier and get taxed more each year on the bonuses he works his ass off to earn. So now Australia is likely to lose one of its highest taxpayers because the burden of being high performer is just too great in this country.

Gotta love @Uber drivers using superchargers as smoking rooms. Usual suspects too

@DustyPee And it doesn't even fit well. I started one and stopped.

10 hours for a tissue box. 🙄 #3PeePrinting

There's a mistake on Google Maps, Apple maps and Tesla maps on my street where all of them try to make you take a right turn on a street with no right turn. Super annoying even more so with FSD. It's correct on open street maps though and shows as no right turn.
