[Thread] Alright so we have a fun idea. 1000 mile road trip race: Electric vs gas. A test to truly answer the question: How much time does refueling ACTUALLY add to a road trip? Tesla Superchargers vs Electrify America vs Gas stations ⚡️⚡️⛽️⛽️
So we're doing it! Here we have the competitors: Tesla Model S PLAID (349 mile range) vs Ford Mustang Mach E California Route 1 Edition (305 mile range) vs an Audi Q5 (462 mile range)? Image
To make a 1000-mile loop, we have 4 checkpoints.

Starting point: This Wawa with a gas station, Tesla Superchargers AND Electrify America chargers 🙌🏾

Lake Placid: Gotta take a photo at the Lake Placid Olympic sign

Niagara Falls: (there's a monument to Nikola Tesla there too)
Ithaca, NY: That clock tower on Cornell University's campus

Scranton, PA: You know. Where the Office was shot.

Then back to the Studio.

This will take 2 days and be very (kinda) scientific and very fun Image
Currently charging/fueling all the cars too 100%.

Will be tweeting updates here, not I’m in the Tesla the whole time so… follow @TheStudio for updates from all the cars! Image
Single file on the freeway
Tesla has 220 left
Audi has 440 left
Mach E has 181 Image

I recently got to visit some Apple labs where they durability test new iPhones before they come out, and learned a few things (🧵THREAD)

#1: Have you actually seen how they water test phones for IP ratings? (video)
#2: There's an entire room of machines for water and ingress testing

Level 1: A drip tray simulating rain, no real pressure. IPX4

Level 2: A sustained, low-pressure jet spray from any angle. IPX5

Level 3: High pressure spray from a literal firehose. IPX6

Level 4: Locking the phone underwater + added pressure to simulate depth for an extended time. IPX8
#3: Apparently Apple has also bought and programmed and industrial robot to be their own drop test machine - to simulate hundreds of different drop angles onto different materials

Then they hit it with some ultra bright lights and a high speed camera to watch them back in incredibly slow motion. You can literally see the titanium frame wobble on ground impact

I got a rare opportunity to ask OpenAI's video generation model Sora for some videos this week! I had 3 prompts. Here's the videos with my prompts and what I learned 🧵
Prompt 1: A medium sized friendly looking dog walks through an industrial parking lot. The environment is foggy and cloudy. Shot on 35mm film, vivid colors.
Prompt 2: A timelapse closeup of a 3D printer printing a small red cube in an office with dim lighting.

Alright so yesterday Apple revealed that yesterday's event was shot on the iPhone (15 Pro/Pro Max)

They've also now published some BTS, and as expected there's a LOT of gear alongside that iPhone... but there's still a lot to learn here. Here's my biggest takeaways (Thread)
Image
Image
The fact they're able to swap out an iPhone is part a compliment to the iPhone, but also a huge compliment to the production itself

They use a lot of gear for every keynote video - For this one, they just replaced the usual cameras with the iPhone + BlackMagic Camera app
There are 3 main factors to achieving the Apple keynote "look" ... stabilization, set design and lighting

YouTube has had its problems over the years, but then you look around at Twitter, Instagram, FB, Google+ etc and realize it's been one of the most stable, consistent platforms for creators for the better part of a decade
The ez take on Susan leaving is "Yay the source of all our problems is gone" but if we're honest the CEO of YouTube (often unfairly) becomes the scapegoat for literally everything that goes wrong at the company, no matter what actually happens
(this won't change for the new CEO)

The truth is YouTube will continue to grow and change and have problems and fix problems... and will probably continue to be the most stable, reasonable place to exist as a creator, as long as they keep listening to creators like they have

I’ve put 30,000 miles on Tesla’s flagship Model S PLAID in a year and a half. There are some things that I love, and some that I hate 🧵🧵🧵

Full review:
I wanted to give myself a chance to get used to some of the quirks and features. Shoutout to Doug.

So the top 3 things to love are:
1 - Acceleration (never gets old)
2 - Supercharger network (ole reliable)
3 - Storage (Thee's tons in this hatchback. I've fit bikes in the trunk)
Top 3 things to hate:

1 - The complete lack of buttons. ESPECIALLY on the steering "wheel"
2 - The brakes. They're ok for normal diving. But the second you pass that (which is unbelievably easy in this car) the brakes can be dangerously weak
3 - The overall build quality
