Tesla Cybercab Engineering Lead @EricETesla today:
“The future is bright for those with mobility challenges with autonomous vehicles. We've integrated braille into our vehicles (Cybercab). We're integrating grab points and support points to help with ingress/egress. Cybercab seat position is literally the same height as a standard wheelchair. The door, even though it looks crazy, is designed to get out of the way of a wheelchair. We are working on a WAV (wheelchair-accessible vehicle) accessible vehicle of the future, and that's gonna be a big product for us that allows that unlock of, really, 2% of people today are confined to some kind of wheelchair or accessible limitation, and we want to solve that as well.”

Has no one made the linkage of these entry rules to the movie Real Genius?

Dumfries, VA just came online today. Always neat to get a charge before anyone else notices a site is live. This is my 2,720th unique supercharger location. As always, thank you @TeslaCharging for the accessible spots.
.@TeslaCharging, you gotta help these sites, or at least help them understand about demand charges. I'm hearing that other SfB sites are planning to close as well. It's gonna be a big stain on the SfB program.
.@FrancisEVnet and @TeslaCharging are on a tear, as they build out the supercharger network in Oklahoma. Seiling was my favorite (photo below). I wonder if Francis Energy will energize the panhandle?
It took 1,100 miles and two very long days of driving to clear the superchargers I had yet to visit from previous drives through the state.
Wow. FSD and I were staring straight into the sun near Pagosa Springs, CO. FSD started to slow down. I initially started to override it, but remembered that FSD is usually right so I let it slow. Boy was it right. I would've hit this deer. @aelluswamy @teslasi
.@TeslaCharging , the which-side-to-charge stickers are on the wrong side of the pedestals at the just-opened charger on Nicolette Ave in Minneapolis.
.@TeslaCharging , this new Alexandria site really needs to be renamed or modified to include Kingstowne. No one thinks of this area as Alexandria, not even your own navigation, regardless of the mailing address. Kingstowne is a census designated place within Fairfax County and serviced by the Alexandria Post Office.
A few observations about Tesla FSD 14.3.2 from a 1,461-mile trip from Kansas City to Branson to Memphis to the Great Smoky Mountains to Greensboro to DC. Overall, it is extremely good. Here are some highs and lows... @teslasi @ChuckCook @DirtyTesLa
As a public service announcement, you can still submit voice notes to clear the pop up when you disengage. I use voice for when there is no appropriate category or when I want to provide more nuance.
