@elonmusk @tesla car won’t supercharge for longer than 30s. No errors shown to user. Service mode shows active alert for super bottle I think. Closest service says they can’t see me before next month. Looks similar elsewhere in SE. What happened to the pit crew? Leaf charging :(

@greentheonly any reason to suspect the lower cost optimized hw4 boards for the standard 3/y wouldn’t be capable of the hw3 emulation mode they previously ran hw4 cars in until FSD 13.2? Could that be a block from supporting legacy autopilot code on those cars?

When did AutoPilot change from a “moral imperative” to unavailable in new standard vehicles despite still including all the required hardware in the car? 🤔 @tesla @elonmusk @aelluswamy

@Tesla We go out back and he watches the issue on his charger. No alerts. Just stops. Let’s me use their 9kW charger and make an appointment for next month. Lordy y’all. Just. Yeah. Speechless. I’ll be home in a few more hours I guess. I’m tired.

@Tesla Service> “I’m not showing any alerts” Me> Exactly, but in service mode it shows (*interrupted*) Service> NEVER go into service mode. NEVER EVER go into service mode! That’s for the engineers! No codes here. Was probably the charger. Really?!?

Get close to Chattanooga he said 🤣 😆 Yeah. Rough night of finding dead charger to dead charger to dead charger. J1772 is dead y’all. You probably already knew. Finally found 5kW and caught a few Zzzs then limped to @Tesla service Chattanooga this morning.

Finding level 2 chargers where I can to slowly make my way home, hoping it doesn’t overheat or have other issues. This is painful. 16kW in Warner Robins GA currently. Will try to get close to Chattanooga next leg. 😔

Any method to control the thinking effort level in the native Ollama UI? I know from command line “ollama run gpt-oss —think=high” for example, or within a console chat session “/set think=high” but that doesn’t work in the native UI. Is there a hidden option or another method?

Mmmm… gpt-oss 120B runs locally, tool calling and agentic optimized, runtime effort dial for reasoning, ollama web search integration, 128k context (meh).. no vision support, but looking like a great start. :)

@aelluswamy Have you done the math yet? Hw4 cars at cost offset by trade-in values of existing hw3 cars. All costs considered, it may surprise you. This is the way. @elonmusk

Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame! And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.

The first fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla Model Y from factory to a customer home across town, including highways, was just completed a day ahead of schedule!! Congratulations to the @Tesla_AI teams, both software & AI chip design!

@SawyerMerritt @elonmusk You already know those answers. It will be Model Y. It will be supervised by a safety driver. No cybercab. No unsupervised rides.

we've seen nothing yet! hosted a 9-13 yo vibe-coding event w. @robertkeus this w-e (h/t @antonosika @LovableBuild) takeaway? AI is unleashing a generation of wildly creative builders beyond anything I'd have imagined and they grow up *knowing* they can build anything!

OpenAI dropped o3 prices by 80%. The amazing thing about AI is that use cases that are cost prohibitive today become affordable within a year. That means it’s better to build apps that are super powerful and not worry about costs, than apps that are affordable but simple.

He went from “impeach the pedophile” to praising his abusive theatrics and all it took was one little threat to his government contracts and subsidies. 🤣
