What do you mean the Tesla standard is coming to most brands?
I was under the impression that Tesla is introducing new stations that have CCS chargers. Either with multiple cables or an adapter. You start the station using the Tesla mobile app.
To be more precise, NACS uses the Tesla physical connector but the CCS signalling protocol.
In consequence:
1: Cars with CCS Type 1 connectors can use a dumb physical adapter to connect to a NACS charger.
2: Older Tesla's (prior to ~2020 depending on model) need a $400 retrofit to be able to charge at non-Tesla NACS chargers. (The $400 retrofit includes a CCS Type 1 adapter, so it might eventually be cheaper without it).
To clarify #2: the retrofit is the newer controller board that speaks CCS. This is the same thing they've been offering as a "CCS upgrade". It's otherwise unrelated to the NACS switchover, though obviously those are CCS-protocol devices and thus work with it.
Tesla has the "Magic Dock", which is the built-in CCS adapter that unlocks when you use the app with a non-Tesla car. This is rolling out in a few places.
The other thing is that "NACS" (North American Charging Standard, the same physical plug that Teslas use but with the CCS protocol, with some minor backwards compatible changes for optional higher voltages) is being adopted by almost every EV brand, beginning ~2025. Further, these same brands have committed to providing or selling NACS-CCS adapters to existing cars so they can use Tesla chargers, even without buying a new model of car.
You're like 1 year behind the news. Last year Tesla was adding CCS chargers. They have like 5 now. This year, Ford and others promised to use Tesla plugs on their vehicles and Tesla promised to open their network to other manufactures. "Old" CCS vehicles will use CCS-Tesla adapters.
They tried to do this to my father a few weeks ago.
The first doctor he saw at the emergency room told him his only option is open heart surgery. He explicitly told us to not waste time getting second opinions.
Thankfully we did not listen and we were able to consult with two different cardiologists. They both independently said that they could easily treat him with an angioplasty.
Very similar story. I wasn't around for when X needed an N-millionth bypass, so Y said yes, and it killed X. Whoever decided that doing a million bypasses on an extremely diabetic one-legged one-lunged smoker needs to have their head examined. I'm just a layman and the whole plan gave me the jibblies. People have a tendency to get way too casual about getting cut open, and cutting people open.
Now, I'm not an idiot - I know X wasn't destined to have a long and happy old age - but a bullet's a bullet.
Eh, many years ago now, maybe I should have fought harder - there were signs they botched something pretty badly. Who knows? Proving that something killed X - besides X - would have been a bear, and of course when it comes to opportunity, you're always the prime suspect in your own death. Lesson for you younguns out there: when you're in the hospital and *The Doctor* comes to give you *The News* - one of life's great repeating acts - that is not the time to shut down or cry it out. Put your radar up, stay frosty, lids open, if you see blood or stuff where it's not supposed to be, then lawyer up pronto. Just the initial consult for this kind of thing won't cost you anything but paperwork and phone calls - something I didn't know at the time.
I was also bullied a lot. Especially between first and eight grade. I was much bigger than everyone else but I would never fight back. I always felt bad about potentially hurting someone else so I would just take it.
The kids couldn’t actually physically damage me since I was so much bigger. They did cause a lot of psychological harm. I had a very negative predisposition towards anyone that I met. I just assumed everyone would be hostile towards me and would want to make fun of me. I still struggle with this mindset and I am in my thirties. I will usually be very shut off from people I do not know.
There were a couple of times that I did stand up for myself. Each time the bullying completely stopped.
I thought I was being the better person by not fighting back but that was not true. I was being harmless. That harmlessness invited more violence.
I think the key term here is learned helplessness. Children and to a lesser extent adults push boundaries. Establishing strong boundaries is a key part of developing a sense of control over one's life.
Put yourself in the shoes of the staff. They have a workflow that works for them that was taken away. It’s replaced with a new system that they do not know how to use. Now they can’t even do their jobs normally. I could see them being really upset about this.
If this is legit (and I don't really doubt that it is other than it's so rare to hear someone complain about Tesla while simultaneously owning a Tesla), then I'd love to hear more about this.
You say the car has minor fit and finish issues, but that's clearly not what would motivate you to get rid of it. CarPlay / AA is fixable I imagine.
Is there anything else that's gone wrong with your experience?
I say this as someone who has eyeballed the Model 3 but never committed, and I'd be interested to hear about any negatives (as the internet hype mafia makes it difficult to see these stories).
I don’t think CarPlay is coming. It is a product decision right? They want you using Tesla premium connectivity. CarPlay would let you bypass that.
Yes you are right the fit and finish on its own is not enough. However there shouldn’t be any fit and finish issues in my opinion. I paid the asking price so why am I getting a discounted fit and finish.
These are just a list of things that come to mind. It’s multiple straws that broke the camels back for me. Some of them are with the car itself and the others are with Tesla employees. All accumulating to me not trusting Tesla.
* 0-60 time increased after I placed my order and before the car was delivered
* sales team lied to me
* service advisors lied to me
* service management lied to me
* car doesn’t come with floor mats
* too many false positive “safety” alarms. Road side departure warning goes off a lot for me when I’m dead center in the lane. It’s really stressful for me and any passengers
* super chargers rarely charge at max speed
* supercharger musical chairs when the station is full
* phantom rattling noises from the cabin
* ui tweaks and “experiments” are annoying. Stop changing my interface
* playback of sentry mode videos is buggy
* non-standard charge port
* windshield wiper fluid sprays everywhere but the windshield
I could keep going. I’m just over the hype and don’t really want to deal with the company any more.
There are a lot of good things about it. I enjoy how the car drives and handles. The iOS app is great.
>They want you using Tesla premium connectivity. CarPlay would let you bypass that.
This is a stupendously, jaw-droppingly cynical take.
There is no way premium connectivity is making them any significant amount of money. It is so cheap! $100 / year last I checked. So Tesla is not basing any product decisions on that little pittance of money (remember, most of that money goes to the cellular companies that provide the networks, so the profit if any must be truly tiny).
And premium connectivity brings so much more than just music… video, web, traffic data, remote honk, remote light flash, remote viewing of live camera feed from the car's cameras on all sides, remote climate precooling / prewarming, remote control of other car functions, notifications about state changes, remote monitoring of charging status, notifications when charge is done, notifications of alarms… I mean the list is huge. You get all this with premium connectivity and none of it without.
You say the iOS app is great; connectivity with the car is one of the reasons it is great… I say all this just to make the point that just adding CarPlay would not make any meaningful number of people drop premium connectivity. What CarPlay offers is just a tiny little bit of all this.
So I'd look elsewhere for reasons why Tesla won't have CarPlay (and I agree they won't). Probably because they don't want to give up control of their UI to a massively controlling entity that wants to dictate so many aspects of what happens, and who also wants a cut of everything, including most likely things that are simply free with Tesla today.
There's quite a laundry list of other similarly oddly overwrought complaints that could be responded to above, but the only other one that really sticks for me is that sentry mode playback is indeed very flaky… but you know, that will be fixed in a software update.
Long story short, expecting CarPlay when Elon and Apple both want total control is a non-starter. CarPlay has too much baggage in the form of Apple control.
Driving addiction could be a negative for some people. Seriously. The car is so fun it messes with your limbic system. For AWD and up models at least but I hear the RWD models are still fun. Myself I embrace the fun carefully while keeping the addiction in check, at least that’s what I tell myself.
I drove Kona EV for few months and I think EV's have just too much torque, especially at lower speeds. Extra torque from likes of Tesla at high speeds are great for overtaking, but going 0-60 in seconds is recipe for missing a corner. I don't expect this to be regulated, but it makes sense why most EV's cap on 8s 0-60.
The torque is there if you press the pedal down more than 1/4 or so but you barely need to touch the pedal. It’s just pedal control. Use of the torque is entirely optional. Most people don’t go 0-60 in three seconds while cornering.
You would like to use both iPhone and Android at the same time? More importantly you would allow Google’s code to run in a car that you drive? I wouldn’t advise that.

I noticed that performance issues arise from having large groups of biters attacking. Something with the pathing for the enemies uses a huge about of CPU
I think the researchers don’t understand how it works.
It’s not that you take mushrooms and suddenly your anxiety decreases. It doesn’t give you anxiety immunity either…
I think it gives you the opportunity to see things from another perspective. If you can make use of this opportunity you can break down your conditioning and maybe free yourself from your anxiety.
It all depends on where you go with it in your head.
Indeed people tend to define microdosing as a dose without a mind-altering trip. The benefits largely come from the trip itself, rather than the trip being a side-effect, so this could be a fruitless venture. I think it is obviously silly that people expect to be able to divorce the effects from the trip. It is still an extremely interesting question to ask what effects come from small sub-perceptual doses of psychedelics.
>The benefits largely come from the trip itself, rather than the trip being a side-effect
Well, that hasn't really been scientifically established, has it? It could simply be an illusion - just because I had a transcendental experience, then I woke up the next day feeling amazing, doesn't necessarily mean the transcendental experience caused me to feel amazing. No doubt there is some truth to it, as people report all kinds of life-affirming revelations that persist when sober, but we shouldn't exclude the possibility of psilocybin as a therapeutic drug in the traditional mould.
An experiment I would like to see is whether the positive after-effects of a macrodose are still measurable if the subject is unconscious the entire time. Helpfully, this would also blind the study, although a possible confounding factor is that medically rendering someone unconscious has after-effects of its own.
I do understand that they are talking about micro dosing. I suppose I don't really know what the definition of micro dosing is. Is it taking something and not crossing the threshold for it to have any effects? If so what would the point of that be... Is it taking the minimum amount to pass the threshold?
I have experienced the effects I talked about above with 300-500 mg doses of raw mushrooms. I don't know the amount of psilocybin... But that is a relatively small dose of mushrooms.
Hey btw sorry I changed my message last minute. I realized I sounded like an asshole so I edited it.
I would say microdosing should allow for the placebo to be effective. So yes, no visible effects. However, it doesn’t seem like they succeeded 100% on that.
Any hints on challenge #5? FromHex returns something that looks like it has the bz2 compression header. Trying to decompress w/ bz2 doesn't seem to work though.

I just got through this one and was having the same block as you, took me a while to connect the dots. There's a step missing, take a look at some possible encodings before you decompress. Hope that helps without giving too much away, good luck!
I was under the impression that Tesla is introducing new stations that have CCS chargers. Either with multiple cables or an adapter. You start the station using the Tesla mobile app.
It’s in beta available in certain locations
