When I take my truck on trips, I read those signs for gas stations. In the Tesla, the car already knows where they are.

I assume for non Tesla EV owners.

Yep, which is why it wasn't "a thing" until recently.

I still want to see a physical sign.

in object-oriented programming you can typically avoid all global data except one controlling object reference.

i expect so! ha.

patents are awarded for ‘non obvious’ implementations (not just ideas).

I mean come on. Lol
Using a global set of data for a reference point for which to attach(reference) other parts(or data)?

Nothing new about that. 😂
I need to research the patent.

obviously there’s more to it. you can’t get patents approved for trivia.

FSD 14 reportedly incoming, with the future v14.2 reportedly, per Elon, being effectively “sentient”

This pisses me off. NOW Tesla decides oh wait we should be doing this properly. And yea I know other auto makers have the same issues don't care I hold Tesla to a higher standard.

It would be cheaper to just put in a mechanical handle and call it a day lol.

It may come to that!

Look at that grid infrastructure in the background.

^^^ guy said 0-44% in 15 minutes was impressive or amazing or insane or something… eh, really?

Easy now, Tesla's charging curve is not class leading.

true but maybe tesla has learned some things that make them uncomfortable trying to charge faster for battery health with current designs.

i am of the opinion that fast charging is likely not great for current ev batteries.
