  • This was the second half of my problem honestly, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to 3d model stuff. I’ve gone through tutorial after tutorial so clearly it’s me.

    I actually have stuff I’d like to print but I’m not competent enough to model it. I’m the n00b just printing stuff I can download from the internet. Or was I suppose…


  • I went a little crazy on 3d printing during covid. I had a single printer prior but purchased two more. I haven’t printed on ANY of them in like 2 years. I end up just printing stupid shit or because I go so long between printing wasting way too much time to get everything dialed back in. Now I don’t even know what my slicing settings were and I would have to probably start from scratch. I should probably just sell my printers…




  • The explanation I was given(and this well could be bullshit) was that they’re “sold”, in the sense that they’re claimed by a lot who will further sell them on, hence the storage on-property until they’re transported down the line.

    Which is a very real thing for a typical auto manufacturer. Tesla, however, doesn’t have any kind of third-party dealer network. They control the entire process all the way to the end-user.

    Some are also held and leased for employee use, be it through employer vehicle loan or a leasing program like VW had, where you could select from a variety of models owned for the company fleet(including other manufacturers under their umbrella, like Audi) for up to a year.

    This could be possible, not sure how Tesla operates.






  • It was actually really crazy last night when I was out. With my eyes I could just barely make out the white lines in the sky. Long exposure on my phone (~5 seconds) and it looks TOTALLY different. I would have never guessed there was all those purples and reds there. If my brother hadn’t texted me and said pull out your phone and take a picture I would have gone back inside and just shrugged.



  • So I guess I’ll just step out of this discussion then because I still don’t know what all this is about and how it plays into much of anything. Seems to me like anyone can just say something about anyone else and that’s taken as truth?

    IDK, consider this my last comment here. Clearly I don’t have enough understanding to make a useful point or ask relevant questions.

    EDIT: I said I wouldn’t comment again so I’m just going to edit this. YouTube and Twitter are NOT valid sources for…well…anything.
