Every person in the following Teslas survived these crashes.

An eerie thread. Keep scrolling.

(this one t-boned a semi. driver and passenger survived) ImageImage
Model 3 launched through the air and down a 150ft embankment.

Yes, that mark on the tree is where the car hit it. ImageImageImage
Model S rolled down a cliff

Driver had "a scratch". ImageImage
This guy had 6 kids in the car. 5 non-buckled, all without car seats. Car smashed through 3 trees after going through a guardrail. All 7 occupants walked out. Driver arrested. Image
Happened in Manhattan. Tesla sped to 70mph, smashing into a delivery truck and a tour bus.

No serious injuries. Image
Semis, obviously. Image
You already saw this one. Family of 4 plunged down a 250ft cliff. ImageImage
Rear ended by a semi traveling 65mph while the Model Y was in standstill traffic ImageImage
That's all I've got for now-- am I missing any?

Today, Cybertruck will deliver my wife and I ~800 miles away to a small town in Kansas using FSD v13.2.1.

Will report my findings from FSD highway and cold weather performance.

(We’re already 50mi in with no assists)

Follow along for updates ⬇️ Image
Context:

First, happy first day of winter 🤌

It is 22 degrees outside this morning. High of 35 expected along our route. 5mph tailwind turning into sidewind. No rain or snow expected today.

I’m rolling the Mars Adventure Gear roof rack with traction boards but NO spare tire.

This is my first trip with the aero covers 💁‍♂️

Every thing else is stockImage
Image
First leg of the journey: 157mi and we ate through nearly the entire pack.

Departed with 100%. (And defrosted for an hour prior to departure)

Arrived with ~9%.

FSD did 100% of the driving this leg and had a tendency toward 75-80mph. I let it do its thing 👌 very comfy Image

You know how cars have huge wiring harnesses?

That's because each component needs its own set of wires, connected to the central ECUs, in order to function.

Every speaker, every switch, every sensor, every actuator, every button.

Tesla threw out that entire system for Cybertruck.

Instead, they're running gigabit ethernet cabling with a 48v power + data CAN bus to every component— all on the same cable.

Instead of running one wiring harness to the driver door speaker, and another to the driver's door window motor, they can daisy-chain them together on the same self-contained cable interface. Your computer could connect to your door handle using the *same* wire that's already been through your speaker, window, ambient lights, and steering wheel.

Each of those devices/components listen to the continuous stream of data for a command relevant to its operation.

By doing this,Tesla was able to reduce the total wiring in the Cybertruck by 77%, using 1/2 the copper.

Don't sleep on Tesla.

As Jason Cammisa said on the Carmudgeon Show:

The exterior of Cybertruck is the LEAST crazy part of it.
not sure how I managed to get such a terrible quality graphic, here's a better one Image

Complexity increases error exponentially.

Keep it simple, stupid. Image
Okay but why does a single connector post need a full Windows 10 computer, touch screen, or credit card terminal?

the worst part? none of those actually deal with the incessant failed handshakes over the CCS standard. Image
Here's a solution:

Standardize plug-n-charge on CCS. No screens, no payments, no manual activation.

Alternate solution: host payment processing & stall activation exclusively in a phone app or website.

Regardless, simplify station operation to one computer (with redundancy)
