Useful for the dealer maybe, if it requires you to visit your dealer to have the updates installed. That gives them some action and while your bike is being updated (or you are waiting for that to happen) the dealer gets to put the screws to you to buy a new and even more updated Zero.   

I assume only the first update needs to be done at the dealer and after that they are done OTA.


But yeah, I also think the main purpose of these updates is so the dealer can make a little money on maintenance even on EVs.   But I will probably have them do it when/if it's convenient for me.


I have both 2017 Zeros here in Auburn. The first step will be getting them both back to Reno, since that house is close to the Reno Zero dealer (Eurocycles).

As I heard it (from Transport Evolved) he told the head of the supercharger unit to lay some people off and they refused so he fired the whole department as an example.

You are comparing him to Steve Jobs, a man who famously terrorized his employees, abandoned his family, took credit for the work of others, painted himself as a genius, and died from a very treatable form of cancer that he thought he could cure by changing his diet. Interesting.

So to fuck over one man that justifies shitting on 500 regular people? I'm sure there are other ways he could have gone about it, with the money and resources that he has, that didn't negatively effect his own employees. Shit he could have given them all $100k to make up for it and it would have been a water molecule in a bucket to him.

Also you saying they just shouldn't work for him. What you don't realise is those people didn't choose that job to work for Elon, just like people who work at Apply aren't doing so so that they can work for Cook, people don't work at Walmart to work for Doug McMillon, etc. They go there to work for the company. And it is not Elon's company, he's just part of the board of directors and they're just letting him run riot, because he's the major stakeholder I guess.

From what I have been hearing, this isn't the first time the man has fired people in this sort of manner.  Steve Jobs did this a lot as well.
So, with that in mind, don't work for the man then.  Really simple solution.  He can't get good employees, the problem corrects itself.  If it is a legit problem to begin with.

Even if it is a political gotya at Newscum, good for him !!!  F that little weasel, how many people has HE shitted on with his stunts.  Yes the little people suffer in the short term but Elon has an entire company full of people he's looking after, as well as himself of course.  If elon was smart he'd move every part of his company out of that craphole state and let it continue it's rot into oblivion.  Many other states would welcome his company that are much more friendlier to business.  Just the tax savings alone would probably pay the salaries of all those people that got fired.  That's another way to look at it as well.  Elections have consequences, maybe when the people finally start feeling the pain of their poor choices, they'll see the light.   Somehow I doubt it.  As long as they have their weed / wifi / and free shit, all is good.

So, lets see how long it takes for his entire network of chargers to finally die since nobody is repairing them anymore.

Well if you know it works on your bike, can't you just pick any bike, or one that is close to yours and have them send it that way since your specific is not listed?

Also, do you have a link to the video please.

Thanks
Aaron

Are you using the Zero Next Gen app? The old Zero Motorcycles app cannot pull the firmware data from their servers. You need to use the Next Gen app.

I recently tried to check my firmware with the old app for my '18 FXS, and it was stuck spinning looking for firmware. Then I installed the new app and it worked. The sad part is my firmware version requires a dealer to install it.

Thanks, the new version works fine, sees the bike and all, but:


MBB is version 33, latest is 39.


BMS1 is version 40, latest is 46.


BMS2 is Version 40,  latest is 46.


All three updates require the dealer.


Same stuff with my 2017 Zero DS, except it only has one BMS (no pwr tank).


Anybody here know if any of these updates do anything useful?

I continue to find the timing of the SuperCharger staff firing interesting.  Just a day or two after the Governor was shown on TV, driving a Tesla up to a SuperCharging station, where he announced that other brands of EVs would be allowed to use the SuperCharger network. It sure seems like some sort of political gotcha to Newsom by Musk - with the employees taking the real impact of that little pout.  (Or so it seems to me.)

So what is up with Musk - again?  The day after California's governor proclaimed that Ford and a couple of other auto brands would now be able to access Tesla Superchargers, news reports are saying that Musk fired his entire Supercharger installation and maintenance department, even the interns that were working in that division. As usual, everyone, including the workers and likely even the governor were blindsided by his action. What a guy!

Fired entire as I put in bold is hard to believe.  Spin off that?

What is destroyed is the concept that stocks are suposed to pay dividends.  If the top executives or whatever label you want get paid so much no dividend paid.

So, because I'm comparatively poor I'm not allowed to criticise the rich? Musk has an absurd amount of money, the sort of money that no one single person should have and quite frankly if you're trying to justify it then you're an idiot. He could give away or spend a billion dollars every year for the rest of his life and he wouldn't even get through half of it. That's a thousand million, more than 99% of people will ever see in their entire lives (including the extremely hard working ones), per year. He could give it away to charity and it literally would not matter to him, he has so much that money has no meaning to him, take away half of it and he would still have more than anyone could ever need. If you're seriously arguing against that suggestion, that giving that money to people that do actually need it is wrong, then you are quite simply immoral.
