Don't they use the same IEC 62196 ports as other EVs, outside the US?
They made their own in the US, because the standard SAE J1772 combo port is an unweildy behemoth, then they released the patent into public domain, and the rest of the automotive industry adopted their port into the NACS port, which beats both IEC 62196 and SAE J1772 in available power, all in a much smaller and easier-to-use connector.
fwiw, Bunny are the people that announced S3 compatibility for their object storage in Q2 2022 [1]

then apologised for missing that in September 2023 [2]
> We initially announced that we were working on S3 support for Bunny Storage all the way back in 2022. Today, as 2023 is slowly coming to an end, many of our customers continue to follow our blog, hoping for good news about the release.
changing the roadmap to early 2024 [2]
> But we are working aggressively toward shipping S3 compatibility in early 2024.
That same post also has the beautiful "At bunny.net, we value transparency." quote.
It's early 2026, and they're literally ignoring my support requests asking about what the roadmap is looking like for this now.
So, do not trust their product or leadership at all.
Jamie from bunny.net here. Apologies for the delay after announcing S3. Building this required deeper changes to our storage foundation than initially anticipated, while ensuring that existing storage customers remained unaffected.
For clarity, S3 compatibility for Bunny Storage is now live in closed preview (since Jan 2026) with a select set of users.
We’ll soon introduce a sign-up page where users can register their interest, and in the next phase we’ll grant access to invited users.
Yeah I'm in the same boat. I was pretty excited to bring stuff over from Cloudflare but the missing S3 compat. and the communication around that was (and still is) a dealbreaker for me.
Asking because I was looking at both Cloudflare and Bunny literally this week...and I feel like I don't know anything about it. Googling for it, with "hackernews" as keyword to avoid all the blogspam, didn't bring up all that much.
(I ended up with Cloudflare and am sure that for my purposes it doesn't matter at all which I choose.)
- The free CDN is basically unusable with my ISP Telekom Germany due to a long-running and well documented peering dispute. This is not necessarily an issue with Cloudflare itself, but means that I have to pay for the Pro plan for every domain if I want to have a functioning site in my home country. The $25 per domain / project add up.
- Cloudflare recently had repeated, long outages that took down my projects for hours at a time.
- Their database offering (D1) had some unpredictable latency spikes that I never managed to fully track down.
- As a European, I'm trying to minimize the money I spent on US cloud services and am actively looking for European alternatives.
You don‘t have to get the Pro plan to solve the Deutsche Telekom issues. You can also use their Argo product for $5/month - but only makes sense if your egress costs wouldn‘t exceed the pro plans pricing.
The reverse. Argo gives better peering than any paid plan. Its the reason for the product‘s existence. They can use more costly peering that they couldn‘t use with their free egress model.
Thanks for the pointer, not doubting that is true. My egress is unfortunately too large for it to make financial sense.
However, at the time I did plenty of trace routes to confirm that the Pro plans peering is at least better than the Free plan for the Telekom problem. Free plan would route traffic to NYC and back, while Pro plan traffic terminates in Frankfurt.

You left out the part where they realized they couldn't ship S3 compatibility without rebuilding their storage service. So they have decided to rebuild their storage service. Not really a small project. So I can see how its taking longer. At least they were transparent about it.
I agree that this decision is insane and the whole Optimus/xAI bullshit is tiring, especially with the shareholders actually voting against the xAI investment, but you should try today's FSD. It's genuinely good and shouldn't be discarded wholesale because the guy sucks.
The problem is not how well Tesla's FSD works, compared to other FSD from other manufacturers.
The problem is that Musk has been promising it for almost 10 years and it is still not sufficiently stable to be rolled out and relied upon by car owners.
FSD is only actually "ready" in terms of the whole "don't need to own a car for personal transport" when there can be passengers and no driver.
When Mom can dispatch the family car to pick up the kids from school.
> When Mom can dispatch the family car to pick up the kids from school.
Tech level, I agree--that's FSD.
But even if we had that tech today, Mom ain't sending the car without getting a police visit.
You can't even let your kids go to the local playground alone anymore. They're not going to be captain and first mate alone in a vehicle if the Karens have anything to say about it.

Yet they are perfectly fine to ride on their own for an hour in the train or tram.
Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) is officially classified as a Level 2 advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS). Despite its advanced capabilities, it requires the human driver to remain fully attentive, monitor the environment, and be ready to take control immediately.
So it's literally nothing special compared to other manufacturers. I am happy to argue that's it's a better Level 2 than most others, sure. But it's still just that. No magic, no bullshitty "by 2017 the car will drive itself from New York to Los Angeles". No it hasn't and no it won't.
If Tesla's FSD existed in isolation, it would be a fantastic breakthrough that signposted the future.
If.
It doesn't exist in isolation. The competition isn't just from the American firms, but also European and Chinese, and it isn't really possible to overlook Musk himself given both his long history of Musk over-promising and under-delivering, deflecting blame.
Even the current release isn't what Musk was talking hopefully about a decade ago, e.g.:
Our goal is, and I feel pretty good about this goal, that we'll be able to do a demonstration drive of full autonomy all the way from LA to New York, from home in LA to let's say dropping you off in Times Square in New York, and then having the car go park itself, by the end of next year. Without the need for a single touch, including the charger.
Likewise, based on a video I saw recently from someone reproducing Tesla's 2016 "Paint It Black" drive, Tesla's AI is only now around the performance level that they faked in 2016.
Don't get me wrong, that level was impressive… just, the world isn't isolated developments.
In this case, they likely had adequate fuel for, the usual eventualities but the weather in Scotland was particularly bad that night across the whole country (source: I live near Prestwick airport).
Either Edinburgh (on the east coast) or Prestwick (on the west coast) are ok (one or the other or both) but in this case neither was suitable so the nearest was Manchester - definitely an edge-case.
I don't know how much fuel they had, or if they could've fitted any more on the plane but it was unusual circumstances.
There was a military plane right behind it with the same issue that night too.
I wouldn't call it a clear sign of LLM use myself but in the year of our lord 2025 it should be unheard of, we've got so many nice tools for layouting nowadays. It's certainly below par if LLMs can't reliably manage it.
Yeah I strongly emphasise with them getting their money - the only problem with headless components being behind a paid license is that you cannot build a design system on top of them and open source it.
A 787 can still climb with flaps up and two healthy engines. In the video that was posted everywhere, you can CLEARLY hear the RAT spin, which gets deployed automatically when both engines go out.
That makes no sense, and is not consistent with video evidence. Max flaps (40 degrees or so) are typically used only for landing. That is very obvious when you see it! Usual flap setting for takeoff is on the order of 5–15 degrees.
