FSD v14.3.8 - Cybertruck First Impressions Drive in a Downpour

In this drive, we test FSD version 14.3.8 on the Cybertruck across our standard Jacksonville route to evaluate unprotected left turns and navigation waypoints. We also test the thin chain obstacle, diagonal parking behavior, and performance during a heavy rainstorm with standing water. Highlights: - Setting up a multi-stop navigation route using Grok voice commands and saved favorites. - Executing an unprotected left turn and U-turn with smooth creep-and-wait behavior across multi-lane traffic. - Evaluating V3 Supercharger stall parking alignment and charging cable reach. - Testing the thin yellow chain obstacle, requiring driver braking intervention roughly 10 inches away. - Diagnosing diagonal parking issues where the occupancy network stopped over six feet short of the curb. - Encountering street parking that legally signaled and backed directly into a hashed area blocking a driveway. - Driving through heavy rain, poor visibility, and flooded roads, including a brief red hands warning that immediately recovered. Subscribe to @ChuckCook for regular testing and unfiltered evaluation of FSD Supervised.

Bee Lab Slab Pour and Worker Temperament Discussion

building. Meanwhile, the tarp flight barriers are keeping the bees up high during the late summer dearth. Chuck also discusses why defensive bee behavior during August should not immediately be blamed on genetics. Highlights: - Inspection and layout of the 16 by 32 slab with a two-by-four shelf ledge for corrugated metal siding and 12-inch deep footers - Setting the slab height above the terrain's high point near the oak tree to ensure water drains away from the building - Reviewing the aggregate reinforcement concrete mix used instead of traditional four-inch wire mesh - Running conduit for electrical power, a grounding rod, fiber optics, and drainage for a deep sink - Tuning weighted tarp flight barriers to keep foraging bees above eye level around the yard and worksite - Assessing seasonal dearth, weather, and queenless status before making decisions on colony aggression Subscribe to @chuckshoneybees for regular updates on apiary management and property projects.
