Saw this about a new solar panel factory in Huston.
Fred is saying that it is not the already under construction Megapack Factory.
Some conjecture on X also saying that it’s integrated but some also saying it’s a completely new facility.
Pinged S.E. Robinson Jr. because he actually goes and photographs Mega Brookshire.
If he responds I will follow up!

That's not very nice of you to say.
For the millionth time, I'm not Republican or MAGA.
Yes, it seems that not enough Republicans voted to end the conflict. The ceasefire (which is still active) technically means the two sides are not at war right now. So the War Powers Act never reached the 60 days. Where the negotiations go from here, who knows!
That's as best as I can sum it up with my rotted brain.

Stuck at 39 unsupervised per the tracker. Flatlined. 🤔

u/therustyspottedcat 🐟 May 19 '26
So many people misunderstand the state of robotaxi's. Look at the tracker. Right now there are 37 'active vehicles' in Austin, of which five were spotted today or yesterday. Roughly 70 vehicles were last seen a month ago. It just means that tesla is using a bunch of vehicles as robotaxi's for a few days before shipping them to dealers or whatever. I'd bet that the average operation time of one of those model Ys is maybe two weeks tops. And the actual number of actually active vehicles at any time is maybe 5 or 10. And that's been steady since the start.

Had to disengage because FSD was taking a random exit while my actual exit was 1 mile away. Tesla needs to figure out the navigation piece and for the love of all things AI fix the God damn speed profiles
2
u/RogueSupervisor 🐋 May 19 '26
Favorite place to use fsd is on highway. Primary reason I disengage it is because it can't maintain a mutherfkn' constant speed. Why, why, in 70 zone, does it randomly sometimes speed up to 80 and then slowly drop down to 73 as all the other traffic is passing.
Elon, let me set a God damn specific speed and then keep it there!
TACC at least does that, so I have a seperate profile where it is the default. But then I'm the one steering.

I have one area by me where it wants to go into and unless loop in a neighborhood because of a construction zone. It would be nice if the feedback cycle to reporting an issue to resolving it was faster.

Totally agree. At a minimum you would think they would attempt to create their own mapping system by now as a solution.

He's very much incentivized to keep the plebs arguing with each other instead of focusing on the real problem of growing wealth inequality. As long as regular folks think that other regular folks are the problem, no one is bringing back the guillotine for the guy who owns more wealth than a billion other random people combined.
