I purchased Tesla's Full Self-Driving Capability back on May 2nd, 2020 for A$8,500.. It's been: - 2,358 days.. - 336 weeks.. - 77 months.. - 6 years ( and 5 months, 14 days). Really hoping that software build 2026.38.5.1 which contains FSD v14.3 Lite & FSD 14.3.12 makes it's way from the US to Australia faster than a Roadster 2 flies from 0-60mph onto my HW3 car.

I'd like the ability to control aircon (HVAC): Passenger side On/Off. Driver Side On/Off. Rear On/Off. This way I could for example have left and right off but rear on. Sometimes I don't want cold air blasting my kneecaps while driving so Driver: Off and Passenger: On is perfect.

@Tesla @elonmusk Hi. Just rented a Tesla M3. This was my 1st time driving a Tesla. While I enjoyed the experience I did not like the fact that I could not stretch my left leg out as there is no space between the foot rest and the brake pedal to do so.

Comfort on long drives is important to me. My VW Passat Coupe and my wife's Hyundai i30 both have this gap, preventing leg cramp on long trips. I'd like to see future Tesla's implement this gap. I'm 6' 2" tall.

Salt water-powered electric car approved for roads in Europe dezeen.com/2014/09/16/salt-w… via @dezeen

I wonder what happened to this car?

Because base Model 3 in Australia is around AUD70k on-road. No gov incentives, high foreign exchange rate, import duties and luxury car tax makes Tesla cars very unaffordable.

If sale of Dogecoin funds my pockets then perhaps I can finish my inexpensive battery system that triples the life of a battery.

@elonmusk Tesla suggestion: I'd like to see a stats page (or 2) on the console updated say daily. EG nbr Tesla's sold - include filters like model, year, country, HW vsn etc. Perhaps a page on SpaceX with nbr rockets flown with filters for year, launch pad, etc etc.
Looling forward to this personalised transport future ...

Citroën's 19_19 concept car takes passengers on a "magic carpet ride"

Citroën's vision for the future of intercity travel is a fully electric and autonomous "living room on wheels", which takes cues from aviation design.

Ok demonstrator/proof-of-concept. Baby steps. Anything worth doing, is worth doing right. Keep up the good work Boring Co.

I forgot to mention imo I believe this to be only one viable short-term option to reducing dense urban traffic (there are many solutions). Medium term vision would be robotaxi/autonomous driving. Longer term would be to decentralise & create more satellite cities/telecommute.
This is a global issue. Why aren't we a) eliminating the production of most (and eventually all) plastics, and b) using glass as a short-to-medium term solution? Australian government, we need a task force and strong governance.

The toxins that plastics leach into seawater are severely affecting the bacteria that provides perhaps 20 percent of Earth's oxygen. That's . . not good. trib.al/Gi98f7E

Now Ocean Plastics Could Be Killing Oxygen-Making Bacteria

The toxins that leach into seawater severely affect bacteria that provide perhaps 20 percent of Earth's oxygen. That's where things get complicated.
