NEW: Canadian curling star Marc Kennedy claims he was set up by "premeditated" cameras to catch him "in an act" of cheating. The Canadian curling team is now claiming to be victims after they were caught on camera 'double-touching' the stone. "They have come up with a plan here at the Olympics, as far as I know, to catch teams in the act at the hog line," Kennedy said. "This was planned... it was kind of evident that something was going on, and they were trying to catch us in an act." Kennedy and Coach Paul Webster accused Sweden of setting up cameras to catch them cheating. "I know we’re not the only team that they’ve done that to. So I think this was, I don’t know what the word is for that, but like a premeditated plan to try to catch us," Kennedy said. Sweden is firing back at Canada, saying they've been sounding the alarm on alleged Canadian cheating for seven or eight years. "We've been saying this for maybe seven, eight years or something. The media crew decided to place the camera on the hog line to see what was happening..." said Niklas Edin of Sweden.

The wait is almost over. The first R2 variant, featuring dual motors and all-wheel drive, launches this spring. We’ll be sharing full details—pricing, options and more—on March 12. That’s just 4 weeks and 2 days from today. But who’s counting? *Prototype vehicles shown. Final design, equipment and accessories for actual production vehicle may differ.

I think that looks as expected. 4.5 years old Model Y 62k miles with 92% charge at home, rest superchargers (roadtrips).

Ready for roadtrip, and surprise wait.

Model Y roadtrip with over 800 miles, 98% done with FSD. FSD helped a lot with fatigue, and I was mostly charged with powernaps, twice to 90-95%. Only one forced disengagement when on construction lane shifts car tired to drive to shoulder. Speed keeping was not great, constantly needed to tap accelerator pedal to keep the speed constant, sometimes after passing fast semitruck car was slowing down few mph and track was getting too close to back. Total charging stops 6 (last one to top off in NJ because Manhattan does not have superchargers). Charge cost 97$ and left home with 100%. If I would take my other ICE SUV, it would be 15% more.

Subscribed for FSD for a month and on first ride opossum was saved. Model Y did shiftto oposite lane to let him leave the road without need of breaks.

Just released `hotspot` on pub... the simplest way to make beautiful tours, coachmarks, and tutorials. There will be a one month period for folks to give feedback before I lock it down into a v1.0.0 pub.dev/packages/hotspot

What a thrilling day at @PPIHC! Gardner Nichols and his Quad-Motor Gen 2 R1T blazed across the finish line in 10:53.883 -- beating the time he set last year by 30 seconds and yet again claiming the record for fastest production truck to ever summit this iconic course.

Great timing Google, one of google home mini speakers started "relaxing sounds". Sounds of thunder and rain. All fine but we are at middle of thunderstorm and tornado watch. Another sound from corner of the room isn't necessary – at Lake Zurich, IL

@Tesla your connectivity lost quality in last months. Sometimes I need to wait 30min and preheating cabin just fails. Watching live cameras? Forget about it. – at Lake Zurich, IL
