It's all in the media spin of your words... (clickbait strikes again!)

I have done many California Texas road trips in my Model X, during winter, issue free.

I live in San Francisco and frequently do road trips in my Model X (90kWh).

To date, I've traveled from SF to:
- Dallas
- Portland
- Los Angeles (a bunch)
- Random rural parts of Northern CA
- Yosemite
- Reno/Tahoe

The trip planner on the Model X auto-routes you to charging stops. The on-board energy calculator is pretty accurate, and you can adjust your speed as needed if things are getting dicey (eg: you're approaching 5-10% battery before reaching a charging station). I haven't had range anxiety -- (nor do I really think about the range).

The charging breaks were annoying at first, because you end up stopping for 30-40 mins on road trips. I actually appreciate the charging stops now -- gives you a chance to stretch / recharge your brain. I definitely feel less fatigued when I reach my destination, even though it takes a little longer due to the charging.

I'm not sure I understand the comments about EVs and their viability for road trips -- I definitely prefer driving the Tesla (or rather, letting it drive me w/ Autopilot).

San Francisco also has housing programs like these for folks who make less than a certain amount (i think $70k?) and more than a certain amount (i think $30k)? They also have other housing options for those who make $30k, which includes career development & placement solutions.

UCSF doesn't even teach computer science; UCSF is a medical school.

The article is about CCSF (a community college).

There's a star thing?!

Two hydrogens and one oxygen walk into a bar. The three get together and say, let's get wet!
It's friday... cut me a break.

What a bummer... Steve was one of the few people who inspired me to be as crazy as I have been over the years.
It's weird to have chills after hearing the news. As an ex-Apple employee, I hope that the engineering culture he created continues to live on.

Maybe they measured the distance between two points using kM instead of KiM which leaves them off by about 24 meters per kM...

EMI from electronic devices do affect navigational systems. If you want a demo of this in your house, put your iPad next to a magnetic compass and watch it swing.

In the little Cessna that I fly, my portable GPS will cause the compass to be off by as much as 3-4 degrees.

I know this is much different than commercial jetliners -- I don't claim to know how commercial jet navigational systems are built. I do know that most of the FAA regulations (such as turning off portable electronic devices) are typically created from incidents that have happened in the past.

Software updates are pulled from the client, not pushed to the client. There's an important difference between the two and the phrases shouldn't be used interchangeably. For software pushes, see: Amazon Kindle + 1984 book deletion

If the DOT is so afraid of what people can do on airplanes, maybe we should spend money on building out a high-speed rail infrastructure? I'm on vacation in Tokyo right now... it's painful to compare their transit system to ours (I live in SF). A rail infrastructure would bring higher security and would reduce our dependency on oil. .a
