Since the yoke forces you to keep your hands on the same place relative to the button, presuming you’re keeping your hands on the wheel

That’s it. I almost only charge at home. Never at work, never at the shops. I can imagine people who can’t charge at home will want work carpark charging

On my Christmas/new year holiday I drove 1200km away, 600km a day two days there two back.

The charge stops were three a day, each 10 or 15 minutes, though we could generally have skipped the one after lunch since the time to order, get, and eat lunch meant getting a full charge, and the car has something like 400km range on the highway, though only 350 on the freeway/motorway.

One thing I found on that drive is that the charging network is mostly in the small towns (I guess that’s because they can get competition between neighbouring towns to get the best deal on land leasing) and the chargers are always either near the town centre, or next to a park. One is behind the roadhouse restaurant near the motorway services - behind the staff parking, general parking is in front of the restaurant

On the night between the two halves of the trip each way we stayed in a motel, and they give EV drivers a parking spot with a power point 10A x 240V so I could get about 80% full over night, which is enough for the next day’s first drive. Calling them out since they’re good: Goldfields motor inn, Bendigo, Victoria, Australia

I’m talking full self driving beta, not autopilot. FSD works on bad roads, car parks, any weather it can see in, including moderately heavy rain. It won’t work in heavy fog, but I won’t drive in that either. Autopilot has a long history of only working on highways which upped its safety, but also a history of working hands off and at any speed.

Also note that the initial beta was only open to the safest, most responsible, drivers according to Tesla data (Tesla have a lot of data on their drivers, many opt in to sharing everything in the hope of hurrying better automation) so the cars were very well supervised

I’m really hanging out for insurance data once this system is out of beta

Print screen used to be a good button for screen capture/window capture. But now the various screenshot apps do the job better. Ctrl+Prt Scr is maybe still good for being fast

Excel uses scroll lock to make people think it’s broken lock the scroll bars in case you don’t want to be able to see the rest of your sheet

Games will disable it during play, just as they do for the windows key

People joke that the editor Emacs’ name is an acronym for Edit Meta Alt Ctrl Super (all the modifiers but Shift on a very complex keyboard of the past) since it uses modified keystrokes for most of its functions, though really only Ctrl and Meta

I think they were typing on their phone. The error looks more like autocorrect than a keyboard typo

Many Linux laptops are also sold with windows

Also some people are afraid of people of the other gender hearing them shit

In the context of drinks it means to drink the drink quickly. I try not to quaff my beer as I want to enjoy its flavour

Quaffing a pint would be emptying a glass of beer like an Australian on a hot day

You could Google your best boy question easily.

Tesla say it crashes enough to deploy an airbag about one fifth as often as human drivers (once per 3,200,000 miles versus once per 600,000)

So safer than the average driver, presumably less safe than a safe driver

About 1 in 5, though recent changes to price and the widening of the full self driving beta will have changed that since the stats were released in 2022

That’s all the people who were asleep on the highway or driving at very high speed in town

The recent versions don’t allow either of those behaviours now, so those crashes aren’t happening anymore.

Full self driving doesn’t do that

And the deaths I’m interested in are these ones being caused by FSD, not lane keeping and cruise control. Loads of brands do lane keeping and cruise control and implement it no better than Tesla

Australian rules are (we keep left and go clockwise around roundabouts)

• If turning left, indicate left throughout the entry and exit
• If turning right, indicate right, indicate left after the exit before the one you are using
• If going straight ahead don’t indicate on entry, indicate left after the exit before the one you’re taking

I’m sure most people follow the rules, but I see a lot who indicate wrong, and the drivers of the various premium brands don’t indicate at all ever

I think you’re right. People in this thread are forgetting that this steering yoke doesn’t have anywhere to put your hands other than right next to the buttons

A driving instructor saying “I couldn’t use this on my first go” isn’t a fatal argument for the control

Sure a stick is probably superior, but I bet you could build muscle memory on a wheel that works like a race car’s

That’s law across the whole country

It regularly kills people

Could you link an article saying so? I couldn’t find anything with a quick google search about people being killed by Tesla FSD

Edit to add: this fairly recent article https://insideevs.com/news/655983/tesla-full-self-driving-beta-crash-stats-revealed/ says they’re pretty safe.

The point of the article is to say “new Tesla indicator controls are bad and unsafe”
