@cybrtrkguy Because even with a bus, there's a lot of stuff to connect to. CAN has simplified wiring greatly over the years, but it doesn't make it go away. What Tesla's working on now that has the potential for further simplification is sending data over the power wiring, which is cool but…

@BlueTeamJK @cybrtrkguy Did you read the original post? It's entirely about the bus, and nothing about weight reduction due to 48V (which is a great thing). "Instead of running one wiring harness to the driver door speaker, and another to the driver's door window motor, they can daisy-chain them…

@ARomeoSierra @cybrtrkguy The typical automotive environment is a lot noisier than most PoE applications, and the safety ramifications of failure much more dire. I agree it should be soluble, resulting in a huge reduction in harness complexity, but it's not a trivial problem.

@keithdennis @waitbutwhy Not all are equally trainable. I've encountered many mediocre degreed engineers in my career. Hopefully they reserve the right to flunk people out of the program if they don't have "the right stuff" and not just say "OK, you've been through our training, go fly."

@SawyerMerritt They still don’t get it. Watch a football game, there are 30 car & truck ads. People still think EVs are expensive and have low range and that charging is an issue. Tesla’s “digital” ads do little to address any of these.

And the diagram posted sure looks to have a good amount of daisy-chaining. Agreed re diagnosing bus issues, but I doubt a star really…

@garyblack00 @TeslaBoomerMama FSD is the best cruise control ever, but it's too expensive for many people. Robotaxi is a considerable way off, and you're right not to give it any weight in your valuation. Optimus, though, I think is going to impact the bottom line a lot sooner than many expect.

@TSLAFanMtl How does it change everything? Even if it works perfectly, it's a "nice to have" feature, not a "must-have", for the majority of customers, and at $12K non-transferrable it's very easy to say no. Will have to be a LOT less expensive for mass uptake.
