I have a habit of touching the outside of the plane before boarding. Are you a plane toucher too?
Train apps tell you when the train leaves.
@MyNextTrain tells you when YOU leave.
Your walk + your boarding buffer + live delays → one leave-by countdown.

Why would @united put a Polaris flight out of Terminal A in EWR when the Polaris lounge is in Terminal C?
PSA: Airline status matches are not new. If UA really wants to win your loyalty, it should take far more than the framework that has been around likely longer than you’ve been Diamond
This is @united 's one shot to turn this into a watershed moment, and they're blowing it.
Status match for Delta Medallions, no qualification. And if you want me to switch without thinking twice, give me credit for the 1.7MM I've flown on DL so I don't have to start over.
Big asks, but a run-of-the-mill status match isn't going to flip me that easily, even though I want Starlink on my flights really badly.
First prototype of a cycling computer using a @M5Stack Stopwatch. Radar, cadence and heart monitor BLE support is working. Need a GPS to get speed and route recording tested. Maybe will try doing nav next. This form factor is excellent.
Base UI is done, Radar on the left semicircle, cadence meter on the right. @M5Stack are there CADs or STLs available so I can easily design a mount for the Stopwatch?
The @teslasi miss here is significant. AI models are exceptional at assessing safe operating parameters (logical) but cannot be the sole arbiter of speed enforcement risk (random and often revenue driven). And we’re giving a long leash here assuming the system reads speed limit signs accuracy 100% of the time (not even close).
Setting max thresholds is an essential guardrail here. The consequences of AI getting safe operating parameters right but speed wrong is thousands of dollars per incident between fines and insurance premium adjustments to the vehicle operator. @aelluswamy
I'm sorry if I hurt feelings at @teslasi but this is unusable..
There are very strict cops on this road but 31-32 is a perfect speed (fast enough + no chance of ticket)
Hurry - 39 to 40❌ too fast
Standard - 34 to 36❌ too fast
Chill - exactly 27 ❌ awkwardly slow
If we could set target to 32 it would be perfect but currently unusable as you can't even use accelerator pedal in Chill anymore to keep at 32 without getting constant warnings.
Even if Chill went between Sloth and Standard it would be okay but the +2mph cap isn't even close to being between Sloth and Standard.
This is really unfortunate.

The best way to use the @KeychronMK Nape Pro is handheld, reclining with your feet on your desk. M1/M2 tap mapped to ESC and M1/M2 hold mapped to Scroll. This thing is unexpected awesome.
OPINION - The HW3 to HW4 retrofit debate is not one problem. It is at least two, depending entirely on the thermal architecture of the car. The cost delta between best case and worst case is significant. A thread. (1/8) 🧵
7/8
Here is the deal Tesla should put on the table instead. Like for like new car, $10,000 at 0% over 60 months, FSD lifetime license transfers, lifetime supercharging transfers. More if you want to upgrade (e.g. non-performance to performance)
Trade-in on the existing vehicle at wholesale recovers approximately $12,000 to $15,000 for Tesla. Estimated COGS on the new car is approximately $35,000, offset by $10,000 cash and $12,000 to $15,000 trade recovery.
Net cost to Tesla: $10,000 to $13,000.
Against a retrofit range of $8,600 to $22,450 plus warranty liability on a multi-system invasive job, the new car deal wins in the worst case and is competitive even in the best case once you factor in execution risk and infrastructure overhead.
8/8
Even if the economics worked, the real question is whether any owner would want this level of invasive work done to a car that was otherwise running fine.
For the 3/Y cohort the new car deal math is clear. The S/X owners are the hard problem and I do not have a clean answer for them. The platform is discontinued. There is no equivalent vehicle to move them into.
That is a conversation Tesla has not addressed publicly. /🧵
