Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CCATP #832 — Ron Burch on Replacing Tesla Model S Battery
Q: Did the new battery affect performance or charging speed, and how significant were the changes?
Charging speed improved dramatically at Superchargers, jumping from about 40 kW with the old battery to around 150 kW with the new battery, effectively reducing charging time on long trips, while overall acceleration changes were not dramatic due to the trade-off with increased weight.
CCATP #832 — Ron Burch on Replacing Tesla Model S Battery
Q: What were the cost options for replacing the battery, and which option did you choose?
There were two main options: a reconditioned battery pack with parts and labor around $16,000-$18,000, or a brand-new battery pack around $18,000, plus roughly $1,000 for the structural upgrade; the guest chose the reconditioned path with the lower total expense.
CCATP #832 — Ron Burch on Replacing Tesla Model S Battery
Q: How long did the battery replacement take, and what was involved in the process?
The car was dropped off at the end of a workday, technicians started at 7 a.m., and the work was completed by 4 p.m. the same day, with the battery upgrade accompanied by a couple of parallel maintenance tasks and a required structural upgrade as part of the swap.
CCATP #829 Jason Howell on Smart Glasses
Q: What makes these glasses significant?
They provide interactive experiences with AI, allowing users to learn and explore their surroundings in real-time without needing additional devices.
CCATP #818 — Adam Engst on New Mac Migration
Q: What did you do during the migration of your new machine?
I went completely from scratch and did not use the migration assistant, wanting to avoid transferring unnecessary files and applications.
