I am the owner of a month-old Tesla Y. On the iPhone app which is a main interface to the car, there is a category called "upgrades". Were I to pay them $2,000, they would enable higher acceleration on the car. I assume they could flip that bit back if they needed to. So that seems to be a feature that could be deleted.
I have no intention of paying the $2,000. My model Y long-range (the slower of the two currently offered Y models in the USA), has plenty of acceleration for me as it is.
As to why people buy the cars, you might try on the hypothesis that they are fun to drive.
I'm actively considering adding a model 3 soon. That would mean we retired a 2002 Audi A4 and a 2006 Toyota Prius for a couple of Teslas.
I need some help resuscitating a PC. Thats the most appropriate post i could find for this. I run Einstein@Home for a few years, but only sporadically on my daily notebook. Recently, I found my two old PCs sitting on a garage, forgotten. I thought those PCs no longer existed. So, i decided to put them to work for Einstein. It is my first time dealing with Linux.
I recently bought that GPU mainly because it was cheap, but also because i saw on Bottleneck Calculator it would work great on GPU heavy tasks with my CPU, it would use 100% of the CPU.
Since i installed the OS and the GPU driver, its running ok, it runs 1 GPU task + 3 CPU tasks at a time, Im happy with it. The problem is that i see in the System Monitor that 2 CPU cores are running at 100% and the other 2 cores are fluctuating from 30% to 70%.
My question is: Does that mean that my CPU can handle a more powerful GPU? And if so, how can i determine the fastest GPU i can buy for my CPU to squeeze as much processing power as possible?
Im also working on the second PC, which is older, Im seeing the same behaviour, it is using an Samsung 160 Gb SATA HDD, but for now i would like to focus on the newer one.

I haven't upgraded from my Chevy Volt yet, but I am looking. Been difficult with the restricted production because of the supply chain issues.
My Volt is a series hybrid, that is the engine is not directly coupled to the front wheels but goes through the motor-generator. I get around 45 miles of electric range when the temps are mild and I often go for long periods where the engine never fires up. It does a engine maintenance run every 6 weeks for around 3 minutes if it hasn't turned on recently because of driving all electric miles to keep the engine fluids circulated. Most of my driving is local so always running full electric. But I have the engine and gas tank to go for long commutes or traveling to visit relatives with no range concern. I gas up about twice a year.
The first thing I noticed when I got my Volt was the acceleration. That gives a smile every time I punch the throttle pedal. In Sport mode, it launches even faster. But it has a bit of torque steer when you do since it is front wheel drive so you need to compensate a bit to keep it going straight.
Sounds like you are wringing as much as you can out of that cpu. Remember you need 1-2 threads to handle the system background processes.
The gpu application is what determines how much cpu it needs to drive the gpu computation, so project relative.
If running the same gpu application, you would more than likely still only use two fully occupied threads but just run the tasks faster on the faster upgraded gpu. You current card only has 2GB of VRAM so you are limited to just one task at a time. A newer, upgraded card would likely have more memory so you could run two tasks at a time, but that would require more cpu support which you really don't have with just 4 threads.
Think a upgrade would require both the cpu and gpu.
I think you are doing pretty much most of what you can do on those systems.
I would set the available CPU threads/cores to 75 percent to keep one core thread clear for background tasks and so you can access the system at all.
I have had good production running anything from a half a CPU core/thread to a quarter of a CPU thread per GPU task.
So it might be you could run 3 CPU tasks and one GPU task and still have a CPU thread mostly unused.
E@H GPU tasks and CPU tasks do not play well running on the same system without a lot of tinkering. It is very common to get too many CPU tasks in your cache.
The simplest way to deal with this is run a different CPU or GPU project.

Electric and ICE/electric hybrid vehicles can be tons of fun - the low-rpm torque of electric motors makes for great acceleration. I have to concentrate to stay reasonably close to the speed limit when driving my 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 hybrid pickup truck around town. Even so, that 6000-pound pickup still gets 18 mpg in city driving. Much better than the 11-12 mpg of my previous pickup truck (2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 HD 4x4), which was not nearly as much fun to drive.

It's sad that people keep propagating the fallacy that electric cars are "dirtier" than fossil fueled cars.
They just show their ignorance and never read the published analysis.
Depends on how "dirty" your local electric grid is that determines the carbon footprint for an electric car.

Hi,
I need some help resuscitating a PC. Thats the most appropriate post i could find for this. I run Einstein@Home for a few years, but only sporadically on my daily notebook. Recently, I found my two old PCs sitting on a garage, forgotten. I thought those PCs no longer existed. So, i decided to put them to work for Einstein. It is my first time dealing with Linux.
The setup is:
Motherboard: ASUS P5KPL-AM SE
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66Ghz 4cores/4threads
RAM: 1x 2gb DDR2 800Mhz + 1x 1Gb DDR2 800Mhz
GPU: Sapphire HD 7750 Low Profile
Main and only drive: 1x Kingston Datatraveller 3.0 USB Device 32Gb Pendrive
OS: Linux Debian 11 Bullseye x64

Not sure what electric cars has to do with computer crunching Einstein. This thread is way off topic.
