Today @TeslaCharging Opened their FIRST Supercharger for Business in Los Angeles below a brand new apartment building. This site features 6 V3+ stalls @ a very steep $0.65/kWh. Seems more for residents especially given the Tesla Diner just 2 miles away.

Need @robotaxi to come to LA ASAP so I don't have to pay Waymo $130/hour for the privilege of not having an expensive human in the car my god

[SuperchargingSam @SuperChrgingSam]

@wholemars Just for scale based on some brief research it appears that this is the number of uber and lyft's combined operating in Las Vegas during peak hours.

@wholemars @isaacfrench_ Been myself. Top 5 superchargers I've been to and I've almost been to a thousand

[SuperchargingSam @SuperChrgingSam]

@wholemars Be pretty cool to launch like 100 of them in Austin at the 1 year

[SuperchargingSam @SuperChrgingSam]

@wholemars I didn't even know they had a presense in that country in Africa lol

[SuperchargingSam @SuperChrgingSam]

idk man I feel like it's worth acknowledging at this time last year everyone thought they would launch in Austin with unsupervised robotaxis and a year later we still don't have unsupervised in all of Austin and availability is so bad it's not a service people can rely on
They've made incredible progress but it's not like they aren't flicking the switch and putting 200 unsupervised vehicles all around Austin for 100% availability in the entire geofence.

@MarcoRPi1 @MdeZegher @danWpriestley @HinrichsZane I mean that makes sense considering they're just v2s but big

[SuperchargingSam @SuperChrgingSam]

This whole saga has made me extremely confused why the cruise I took who does use starlink and also charges $400 to have wifi on 2 devices was remotely okay with them lmao. What an awful experience to come away with if I had no other impression of the company.

[SuperchargingSam @SuperChrgingSam]

@RtaxiTracker Any progress on adding the new zoox Vegas expansion and getting Tesla wait times & availability back?

[SuperchargingSam @SuperChrgingSam]

One of the best bets I've made on prediction markets was betting, at 40% odds, that Tesla would release unsupervised FSD by the end of January after they had already released it. When the market resolved to yes odds were only at like 70% it was insane. Betting markets can absolutely have biases that aren't reflected in the actual odds.

[SuperchargingSam @SuperChrgingSam]

@TeslaCharging @DavidMoss How would non-Teslas even know about it? What about non-Teslas who don't have the app at all because they have plug and charge with their manufacturers app?

[SuperchargingSam @SuperChrgingSam]

@SawyerMerritt 3 day notice for something people might be flying in for is insane

[SuperchargingSam @SuperChrgingSam]

@TeslaCharging speaking of sc voting when are we getting the Q1 results

[SuperchargingSam @SuperChrgingSam]

@RtaxiTracker very weird that availability bounces between 100% and 0% outside of unsupervised hours. As if they only have a couple cars active in the fleet at any given time

[SuperchargingSam @SuperChrgingSam]

@wholemars I mean probably less than 100, right. Unsupervised geofence in Austin is still seemingly much much smaller than the supervised geofence

[SuperchargingSam @SuperChrgingSam]

@zoox Am I crazy or are there zero additional details on the website lol

[SuperchargingSam @SuperChrgingSam]

@wholemars sounds about par for the course these days lol

[SuperchargingSam @SuperChrgingSam]

@wholemars @JustonBrazda It shows chargers that are under construction but it also shows structures that are under development which can be a several year-long process prior to construction beginning.
