This is really huge for robotaxi! With this, they will need no people/robots to plug in the cars. They can just park on a charging pad and be good to go. I wonder if the boring tunnels will have this the entire way. They could essentially have cars ... See More with a tiny/no HV battery.

Very pleased about the acquisition, great to see tesla pick up small successful startups like this before anyone else.

I want so many more on the road! Semis are disproportionately so much larger emissions emitters it’ll make one of the largest differences in the automotive market.

Sounds really cool 🚀

Sounds like it changed gears?

Finally! I wonder how this will affect the pricing as we are now averaging 49c/kwh on the current charge per minute model

Wtf, that was a ridiculous way to bill to begin with. Like charging for the amount of minutes you are standing next to your car refuelling at a gas station, lol.

Dang, I know that logically this makes sense but is it just me or does it feel like its going to be more expensive for that 20%-80% charge? In any case, you can get 1c per kwH off peak at home in Toronto, so I'm going to be doing ... See More as little supercharging as possible.

Wait is the y getting a refresh too?

From the article: Tesla has a few more tricks hidden in the Tesla 2023.26 update. This update has already introduced us to several improvements to Service Mode, but now a new batch of features has been discovered, thanks to user NinerByNature. These new features outlined in Tesla's owner's manual affect ... See More the vehicle's HVAC system, backup camera and more. Lower HVAC Fan Speed While on a Call The update impacts the HVAC system and aims to provide a better environment for drivers during phone conversations. According to Tesla's updated owner's manual, "When in Auto, the fan speed may automatically lower to reduce the sound of ambient noise while on a call." This is a thoughtful feature and will be one of those that go unnoticed, but for anyone who has lived through a call while trying to turn down the fan noise, we are grateful! Backup Camera Repositioning The software update also hints at advancements on the visual front. An intriguing passage in the "Rear Facing Camera(s)" section of the owner's manual raises anticipation. The manual states: *Drag the camera feed to different positions on the touchscreen, depending on your preferences.*

Can I now turn off the passenger fan when someone is in the passenger seat?

Why cannot MCS simply be a thing and therefor no variation is needed? If we're starting with a clean slate, let's do it standardized. Why the need to kneecap large trucks to using a compatible plug with V1-4 superchargers? MCS is in theory capable of +3MW charge rate.

I'm sure these things are expensive, but even still, 9 stations with 12 chargers each seems like it shouldn't be $100 million. That's like, a million dollars per charger.

2023 and people still can't get a proper 10 seconds video.

FOCUS!

Anyone else feel like these aren’t orders? Nobody has leaked configurable options or prices or really anything. I’d expect that to have come out if people are getting orders ready.
