The joys of living on the bleeding edge- a thread: On the way to dinner tonight my @Tesla literally locked up IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY! A message Ive never seen before popped up saying "Vehicle May Not Restart: Service required" Well thats no good I think...
- Ok 3D Printers, if ever there was a moment for us its now. I received no less than 50 texts last night directly from local ER docs BEGGING for as many shields as we can get them. My little printfarm is not nearly enough. WE NEED YOU! So... 1/4
GIF - Replying to @repkordHey guys... my car is dead in the road just down the way there (I point) I cant get it in neutral we cant push it. Is there any way you can get cones or flares out and help divert traffic before I get creamed? Without hesitation "we got you" and they go to work setting a break...
- Replying to @repkord...no sooner do I have that thought than the car starts beeping madly saying "pull over immediately! Insufficient power" and then everything just locks up. No ability to shift to neutral. No releasing parking break/ emergency override. car is bricked in the middle of a 6 lane hwy
- Replying to @repkord"90 min?! I need something to happen faster than that! Im backing up traffic big time here" (Car drives by just then) "Thanks for blocking the road asshole! Where's your Electric Car now?!" 😳 "Sorry sir 90 min is the best we can do. You can call 911 if you need help sooner."😡
- My son's 6th grade animal cell science project. Designed in @tinkercad, sliced & printed with @Prusa3D slicer and MK3S, & assembled w/ @3DGloop on his own. Particularly tickled by his idea to use the venus box as his cell nucleus. Biased, yes, but too awesome not to share. 😍
00:00 - Replying to @repkordOk... now to call Tesla roadside... wait what? Theres no phone number immediately obvious on the app... i have to schedule through the app?! I do that. Immediately I get a text. Are you safe? Can you tell us whats happening? I proceed to TEXT the story to them. 😳...
- Replying to @repkordTow truck arrives after about 45 min... thankfully not 90... all in all, not bad I guess. The system works. Off to the service center. Tomorrow we find out how bad it really is. 🤞🏻
- The @Tesla Model S door handle is possibly the most over engineered door handle in the history of the automotive industry & PITA to deal with when it fails. Remember when door handles just opened a latch and didn't require the processing power of the lunar lander to operate?
00:00 - Replying to @repkordThere was no time to even get to the shoulder. Im dead in the water in the middle lane of southbound traffic. Thankfully the hazards still work and the door still opens. Dont know for how long though. I roll all the windows down just in case i need back in and its time to bail...
- Replying to @repkordI run over to the shoulder and contemplate my next move. Is this 911 worthy I think? Its dark and if my hazards die My car will get plowed for sure. I look down the road about 300 yards and luckily theres a @CaltransDist3 crew just coming on shift for the night... i jog over...
