however, it is really not that impressive for just a client
I usually develop my apps on a 1300 MHz single-core Intel Atom mini PC from 10 years ago. When something like this goes wrong, the app becomes unusable and I immediately notice it.

According to Tesla, FSD is the real deal, FSD is supposed to become unsupervised. Many Tesla owners were curious whether FSD would stop under the same simulated conditions, and this is why the setup is like this with the hose and everything.
I didn't like Mark Rober's video because he only tested Autopilot which is a different software.
Autopilot = simple lane keep assistant from 7 years ago
FSD = the real deal, this can do all the maneuvers, this is what is supposed to become unsupervised according to Tesla
I am interested in the future of Tesla's technology, so testing Autopilot feels irrelevant to me.
BTW, for the cabin I did two things:
- I installed a permanent shade for the sun roof. The sun roof is the stupidest thing ever, I hate it.
- In the summer, I usually put one of those shiny umbrellas to the front windshield when parked.
These two things alone reduce the cabin heat to an okay level.
It is fine to turn these off, other cars don't even have these and they are fine.
I have a Model Y, several friends have Teslas, one uses his Model 3 for Uber. Everyone can get the expected range when doing 90 km/h in the summer, and at least half of the range on the highway in the winter, but usually more than that.
Maybe your consumption is that much when going steeply uphill, but then you will have to come back down and your consumption will be negative as it will recharge your battery.
Just like nowadays the general opinion is that Tesla FSD is at least 5 years away or will never work.
Here's the 2018 compensation plan: https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/edfcfa2e-bcb6...
It basically says that Elon doesn't get anything unless the stockholders at least 2x their investment, and Elon gets approximately 10% of the company if stockholders 10x their investment. Each tranch had revenue and EBITDA requirements as well, so it was not possible for Elon to just pump the stock. He achieved all the milestones: the company grew significantly, the stockholders 10x-ed their investment.
The judge thought that the stockholders were not properly informed about the board in 2018. Now in 2024, not only have they been informed but they reelected Kimbal Musk as well.
BTW this deal was the most stockholder-friendly deal ever, because Elon only got his compensation if the stockholders got rich. I think it was a good thing, the first of its kind. If they made a new package like this (+10% for another 10x from here), I would vote for it.
Also worth mentioning that his compensation package was worth 2.3B in 2018 when the shares were separated.
Also worth mentioning that everybody found the milestones ridiculous and unachievable in 2018.
