NHTSA Tesla recall (NEW): Seat Belt Warning System Malfunction.
Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2012-2024 Model S, 2015-2024 Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles. In the event of an unbelted driver, the seat belt warning light and audible chime may not activate as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Just dropped a new episode of The Self-Host Cast featuring a casual conversation with Ivan, the developer of the #vehicle maintenance tracking application #LubeLogger.
Would love some feedback on ways to improve or suggestions for future episode topics!
We at ZERO GmbH have completed our first prototype to display our own content in vehicle on-board systems. The touch function of the display can also be used to write ZERO in the most beautiful font ✍️ 😅
So...why all this? With the help of our AMPS platform, our customer can easily show new designs or functions in a vehicle and bring them to life - without having to access the series components directly.
And "easily" really means "easily":
Connect computer viaHDMI => switch on via button or CAN => be happy 🥳
My neighbor told me yesterday that she believes the buyers of a Tesla #vehicle are just Beta Testers. And to make it worse, Tesla buyers pay a shit ton of money to be a #Beta Tester for a multi-Billionaire.
I'm having a hard time refuting her beliefs about this issue.
Curious about our ArtNet based light control system?
We've created a web GUI that enables easy access to various typical vehicle lighting scenarios. The operator gets instant feedback about the currently activated scenario.
Our layering concept allows prioritizing lighting animations and stacking them on top of each other.
By the way: Animations are provided as CSV files. You're free in choosing the tool to generate these.
C-V2X communication requires very precise timing so that transmitting devices can find and use their transmission time slot. We rely on GPS time for this.
I am curious. I am spending about €250 per year on #bicycle maintenance. I also spend about €1.600 per year on public transportation - Infrequently visit my father by train, and he lives about 550 km away.
If you own a #car, what are your annual running costs - excluding the purchase price, but including fuel, maintenance, and insurance?
Not sure what to think about this. On one hand seeing a #vehicle going the speed limit and stopping at red lights will be welcomed, but I still feel like we need to move away from personal vehicles as much as possible. These vehicles don’t solve #congestion or deal with #climatechange in any meaningful way. What do you think about #autonomous vehicles?
The organisation representing new-car makers in Australia has come under fire for "now discredited" claims some models could become up to $13,000 more expensive next year under the government's new #vehicle#emissions standards. #auspol
I bought an expensive #EV in 2018. At the time, I calculated it would have taken almost 15 years to recoup the price differential to a similar #ICE (gas) #vehicle.
Days away from my car's 5th birthday, I ran the calculation again. Inflation adjusted (in all ways), I am only one year away from recouping that cost diff.
$35 a month in electricity to run my car. $18,000 saved in gas and maintenance in 6 years.
