6th annual "Bug Bounty Program" rewards hackers up to $1mil if they can expose vulnerabilities or hack a Tesla. Smart move since these vehicles are essentially tech on wheels. Sounds like previous years events have largely borne fruit, with several security features developed and updated...
Impressive if you can drive 900 miles straight, without any significant breaks. I have to think a majority of people wouldn't entertain quite the adventure, and automakers won't have motivation to make such range even possible.
Good to know, I would have never guessed they expire. Vacuum seal should prevent Oxygen from reacting with Iron causing rust(heat). Packaging must be too porous. I think mine are about 10 years old... oof.
They’ll figure it out, similar to when first refining oil and utilizing all the waste (minus emissions). Certainly, it’s part of their regulatory in R&D, manufacturing, and quality control.
Sounds like they still aren’t having a significant amount of “end of life” batteries coming back...
Now I think about it, Never driven 500miles in a day and needed an immediate recharge. I’d need a recharge before the vehicle would, whether it be food, sleep, or stretching my legs; in which I would fuel at this time.
new business idea= Tesla Taco Hut: quick bites while you charge.
from search: V3 superchargers unveiled early 2019 now line most major interstates and can charge 250+kW or 1000mi/hr. The V2 chargers are everywhere and max out at 150kW (approx. 350mi/hr). Some cars/batteries cannot accept 250+kw yet.
Home charger that comes with car max= 32mi/hr (amperage...
15-22 worked well.
If I remember right, you had to slightly push away from your body with your non-trigger hand. Felt awkward and no accuracy, but was a blast. Ahh, the good ol' days.
