Tesla is testing FSD in Canada on 60 cars and will be expanding to more testers this weekend.
We’ve had about 60 or so cars testing internally in Canada. Hoping to go wider this weekend.

Tesla makes their own C compiler for maximum efficiency and a higher frame rate for the self-driving computer.
I’m a fan of Rust. Clearly scales well, given that Discord uses it.
For max performance, however, nothing beats tight C with a customized compiler on specialized hardware. Important for max frame rate on vehicle inference computer.
Otherwise, we mostly use C++ & Python.

I wish I could afford Tesla…
I think that most of that environmental conserns and so on is funded or encouraged by german competitive Auto industry. They have laid a political trap for Tesla. First they had convinced them to build a factory there and that they will get the permits,.. and now when they invested so much and could start producing they wont give them the permit and that will go on and on. It is a probably a trap to help german Auto and weaken Tesla. Too bad. I dont think that is just german buraucracy, it is political from competition.
I suppose with cheap solar energy they could just make water from the air.
Ha chill out.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that the Berlin permit will come through quickly… My concern is how is Tesla Berlin going to get a permit for a higher production than 500k per year once they have hit that mark? They would need more water – it would seem – than what the local system can supply. Also, we know that the permit process takes for ever in Germany…
They should start on that permit and the related solution right away. A run rate of 500k may be just one year away which doesn't leave much time for the new permit.
