  1. Since the thread got necrobumped, I can go back and necro-rep a criminally underused movie quote.
  2. Team is behind the pace of the famous "Tombstone Season". That team was 8-12 after 20 games.
  3. It's honestly my only complaint about the car, and I had the exact same issue with a Mercedes GLC 300.
  4. Pretty much already answered but it does the following: Verifies that all windows are fully raised Turns off automated windshield wipers Locks doors, trunk, and charge port Folds in side view mirrors Places HVAC system in recirc mode (see below)* Places car in neutral/free roll It's a handy feature to be able to hit one on screen button to verify all of these items. *Unfortunately, due a design flaw in the air intake location for the ventilation system in the Model 3, it's a very good idea if not an essential step that you put HVAC in recirc for a car wash or during the rain or you run the risk of ingesting water through the intake and soaking the filters and ending up with a mildewy funk in the HVAC system. Car Wash mode is one mitigation that Tesla developed to address this common complaint.
  5. That's why I suspect that as in previous "tests" engineered by O'Dowd, the driver is actually applying pressure to the accelerator to override the automated actions of FSD. The behavior of the vehicle during this "experiment" is so far out of step with my actual experience with the system that I believe that the car is being manipulated by the driver.
  6. Yes, FSD failed this particular test. It's actually a very difficult test. It doesn't take a very critical eye to watch this and see that the test was engineered to result in failure. - The dummy was dressed in neutral colors and earth tones to blend in with the background vehicle and background vegetation and wall. - The dummy remained stationary until very late in the test. - The dummy was accelerated to a near instantaneous running speed at the last possible moment. These conditions would be difficult for an unsuspecting human driver. O'Dowd is a disingenuous and untrustworthy Tesla FSD critic. He is a competitor, and he is not above manipulating and falsifying experiments to show the results that support his arguments. Previous videos from O'Dowd have showed a warning on the Tesla screen indicating that the accelerator is being pressed by the human operator to override FSD's automated actions. O'Dowd has passed these off as FSD failures when the failure is actually due to the overriding actions by the human operator. This particular video has a warning on the screen that appears to be unrelated to FSD, but if multiple warnings are active, you can cycle through them to see the one you want. There is something weird happening in this test. In the first three tests, you can see the vehicle start to decelerate as it approaches the crosswalk and sees something, but it doesn't stop. That leads me to believe that O'Dowd and his team are gaming the warning displays and actually slightly pressing the accelerator during these tests, effectively overriding FSD's automated actions. I would like to see this test completed on a vehicle with no visible warnings on the screen. I would also like to see videos from O'Dowd with the technology he supports passing this same test.
  7. I may have been wrong.
  8. Who didn't see that coming? FUCK!
  9. Fuck this season.
  10. Good job, guys. Solid swings.
  11. Didn't give them the lead, so that's progress.
  12. Great jerseys, Fanatics. D'Arnaud looks sharp,
  13. Abreu non-contributing from both the plate and the field.
  14. Damn good play by Bregs.
  15. Math is hard for TK. Who gives a shit if the tying run is on deck.
  16. Holy shit. First run scored in the 9th this season. Unreal.
  17. 0.00 ERA for Whitley!
  18. At least they are getting soft contact on Whit.
  19. Announcing his presence with authority.
  20. Of fucking course.
  21. At least the Horns are winning against UTRGV, right? RIGHT?!
  22. From one angle looks fair. From another looks foul. Won’t overturn it.
