One of the great things I love about living in the shadow of our tallest mountain, and one of our largest lakes, is the sky.

silly question, feel like I should know this already. ICE car. It wouldn’t start. 12V battery measures 11.4V. Battery is bad, right? not the starter motor?

another q: why does the start/stop feature require an auxiliary battery if the starter motor still rely on the main battery to start?

Robotaxi might be good but having the car drive itself to and from the service center without me would be better.

an update. Tesla decided to keep our X 2 extra days. They called to provide a loaner but didn’t process it in time before end of the day 😕

meanwhile, the Pacifica’s 12V battery stopped working. Service was planned for next Friday but my daughter has therapy everyday till then so I bought so jumper.
I have 3 service appointments coming up for 3 vehicles. 2 for maintenance and have recalls. 1 is to fix a screwup from earlier service. How do I convey to them that it is important for them all to get it right this one time and order all the parts now? — without sounding like a nagging parent?

Many Scout troops are collecting non-perishable items for food banks this week. Please consider donating, if not coming holiday season, definitely for those who have run out of food during this government shutdown.

met up with scouts’ dads over the weekend. more than half of them have been furloughed with the government shutdown and have not been paid. two had to start work today without pay. 🙁

This is a fascinating rundown of the numbers Tesla has to hit for Elon M to get his trillion dollars. It does not seem likely?

I was so against the 1T pay package for Musk because he’s been a terrible human and I hoped he would leave Tesla. A lot of people are talking about it like as if he’s going to get $1T immediately, or that there isn’t a mountain of work to be done to get the money, which is in stocks not cash. 😕

Wanna fight climate change?

don’t just protest. don’t just rely on the government. don’t just think someone else will do what you need to do.

Stop driving a Gas car. Buy an EV, install a charger st home, put up solar panels.

in our society we need to adjust our consumption to make change.
November 7, 2025 at 3:00 PM
Don’t want Musk to get his trillion?

Don’t just protest or rant
Don’t just boycott his products

Actually buy competing EVs, robots, energy products, social media, AI etc.

Encourage and support competing companies to innovate more quickly.

otherwise you’re just allowing more of the same.

just gonna put this out there: even if Tesla somehow got rid of its stigma by 2027, and successfully bring down the price of its humanoid bot to $20k USD, and made it able to fold laundry and make dinner — my wife would still not let me buy it.

is there a market for a 2 seater, non-roadster, in America? — given that 2 door hatchbacks have never sold well here.

for the European market, is this thing as small as a Fiat Topolino? It’s also not very “cute”.

great, an AI powered back seat driver. 😂

and maybe it’s just me but these are not the kind of conversations I have when I’m driving.

sigh. thankfully all the doggy twitter accounts I use to follow over there have come here to BlueSky. Alas the supposed “Tesla friends” have not. whatever that means about them… i miss the camaraderie of the original climate change mission.

Q: I understand the pivot to AI and Robotics, but what is Tesla’s strategy to pay for continued R&D for products that are years out if there’s no clear strategy for revenue from its automotive and energy business?
