Tesla FSD Beta 11.4 Video Series

Tonight I received FSD Beta v11.4.1 and so I wanted to create a new blog post for all of my v11.4 videos that I’ll be posting over the next few weeks.

Tesla FSD Beta 10.69.25.2 Video Series

After a few month delay in FSD Beta content the planets aligned where I got a new FSD Beta build and the roads so happened to be clear (rare for this time of year in Minnesota). I have been busy testing 10.69.25.2 and minus an annoying regression with the intersection of 37th Ave NE & Central Ave NE (Northeast Minneapolis) this build has been pretty solid for me so far. ...

Model S Plaid Delivery Event - 2021-06-10

Tesla held a short but sweet event today where they went into a bit more detail regarding the Model S Plaid. I took some rough notes that I have included below. 9 years since Tesla delivered the first Model S One of the motivating factors behind Plaid Model S was to show EVs can be the best cars out there (safest, fastest, etc) No car up until the Plaid Model S has broken the 2 second 0-60 barrier Specs 420 miles of range give or take🙂 187 miles of range in 15 minutes thanks to updated V3 Supercharging speeds 1.99s 0-60 9.23s 1/4 mile 200 mph top speed 1,020 hp peak power 390 miles of range All new battery pack Carbon-sleeved rotors for the drive units 1st time this has been done Had to design the machine to do the winding Carbon overwrap holds the rotor together because of the high RPMs Up to 20k RPMs, maybe a little more Lowest drag coefficient of any car ever made at 0.208 Important to note that this was achieved with wheels in motion Heat pump & improved thermals 30% better at colder range 50% better range in freezing conditions Radiator is twice as big for heat ejection Back to back 0-60s and the car will not get winded Nurburgring return teased In 2012 there were 0 superchargers, now there is 25k superchargers (30 in last week) Engineered for 5-star Safety Tesla believes the refreshed Model S will have the lowest probability of injury ever tested (Tesla already has the top 5 in this category) Ventilated front seats Yoke steering wheel optimized for autopilot, better visibility Auto shifting will remember overrides by geolocation so you don’t have to keep overriding it Tesla was able to move the front seats more forward allowing for more room in the back seats 36W USB-C for charging phones Allows for multiple Bluetooth devices to be paired at a given time allowing multiple people to play music via their phones Hidden air vents, invisible AC Tri-zone (left front, right front, rear) 2200x1300 resolution on the front 17” display All new sound system developed by Tesla Audio, acoustic glass used to make it the quietest Tesla yet 920 watts Adapts based on input source Software-defined that will get better with time All new UI with V11 Waypoints coming according to Tesla (“God damnit” :)) Interfaces with calendar so if you just swipe down in navigate it’ll automatically figure it out Allows for various apps and icons to be moved & placed as needed PS5-level performance thanks to AMD SoC Capable of playing CyberPunk First deliveries happen today Awesome power curve thanks to new drivetrain

How To Setup Grafana with Graphite And Create Basic Dashboards

Before I dive into Grafana I wanted to make a quick note that last week marked my 1 year anniversary at NetApp. This year has honestly flown by and it is hard to believe as it feels like just yesterday I started this new adventure with various unknowns. It has been a year full of change along with many new experiences which I feel have made me stronger, both as an individual and professional. I am thankful for the opportunity at NetApp and for the ability to work with so many great customers that have turned to us to solve their most critical of IT issues. I look forward to the challenges that lay ahead and for many more years with this great team at NetApp. ...
