@lex88di9 Just like Hocevar had the choice to lift, Blaney had the choice to run the top.

@Wise_Caveman @roscoebombosco @sm77931613 @MissJilianne Comparing falken to Michelin PS4 for a 1000 hp car *facepalm* common sense isn't so common

@kandkbryce @rhensing If they won’t let you use FSD with trailer mode engaged and disabled the feature all together in this release, it’s obvious they don’t want you to be able to use FSD at all while trailering.

@thejefflutz His reviews are pretty much all the same every time

[Derrick Carter @dacarter94]

@Denis_13_1982 @SpaceX It seems like they are taking the time to fix other issues they may have found during the inspection of the booster.. I’m sure it probably only takes a day to swap out the 2 engines

[Derrick Carter @dacarter94]

@elonmusk @wholemars That will be amazing. There are specific places I have to intervene regularly and the car needs to “remember” them. Such as going into my town the road goes down to one lane, but way before that everyone is already in the correct lane but the Tesla merges too late.

[Derrick Carter @dacarter94]

@lavie154 Not luck really, constant determination and hard work by the team refurbing them as well as excellent engineering.

[Derrick Carter @dacarter94]

@DirtyTesLa Yea, I have interventions almost daily. The road going into my town goes down to one lane and everyone stacks in the right lane because they know it’s merging… except the Tesla lol. It tries to get over into the left lane and I have to take over almost every day

@DJSnM @_42________ @Cosmic_Andrew1 I will however say that I have reamed MANY guides due to lead buildup from improper leaning. Double edged sword. I still think 100LL is the correct fuel for most owners with lycoming/continentals though.

[Derrick Carter @dacarter94]

@DJSnM @_42________ @Cosmic_Andrew1 They do in fact have softer valve seats than modern engines. I should have stated that the primary benefit is to raise the octane level for turbo-supercharged engines and the secondary benefit was valve guide/seat lubrication/protection.

[Derrick Carter @dacarter94]

@_42________ @DJSnM @Cosmic_Andrew1 It’s better for Rotax engines but not traditional continentals & lycomings. Shortens valve seat life. The lead in 100LL ‘softens’ the mating of the valve to the seat on each stroke. Rotax engines are built more like modern engines and actually prefer the mogas.

[Derrick Carter @dacarter94]

@DirtyTesLa This is an interesting thing. Mine is down to 87% because I do like to drive occasionally. Definitely using it less than when we were getting consistent updates because I like to find all the things that were different/improved

[Derrick Carter @dacarter94]

@lightspeed7 @Erdayastronaut @SpaceflightNow @FAANews When every subsequent ship/booster has hundreds if not thousands of changes, anything can happen. It’s the cost of iterating so quickly. I agree with Tim, the rocket needs to mature more.

[Derrick Carter @dacarter94]

@joshgierman @cybrtrkguy Same with my 26 Y. It seems like it has worn the wipers out with how aggressive it is. I just manually adjust the wiper speed now.

[Derrick Carter @dacarter94]

@DevinOlsenn @DirtyTesLa I’m glad I received 14 but tbh I can’t use it to do a continuous drive to work anymore or back home because it’s not smart when it comes to lane changes. It’ll get into the left lane after merging on the interstate and it needs to stay right to take the exit .5 miles away

[Derrick Carter @dacarter94]

@DirtyTesLa I’m seeing what you’re seeing. Surprised this went wide but I’ve seen tons of improvements in other areas compared to 13.2.9. One thing that freaked me out this morning though was a dump truck passing in the opposing lane and the car just swerved over in the lane next to me 😳

[Derrick Carter @dacarter94]

@DirtyTesLa Same here! I’m not even an influencer 😬 I do use FSD pretty much every day though. Maybe that has something to do with it??

[Derrick Carter @dacarter94]

@ESRogs @AJamesMcCarthy Yeah he’s saying that the photo on the right is after processing the raw image. If you shoot in another mode that already processes it, it may not look as good as when he edits the raw image himself.

[Derrick Carter @dacarter94]

@thebengalorian I have the same gun in 22. It’s a blast

[Derrick Carter @dacarter94]

@thebengalorian Probably should have just kicked there but I get just trying to win the game. Hate being in this situation time after time.
