No reasonable person reads the manual. YouTube the tesla warnings. They are pretty innocuous.
If the system has worked in most instances, a reasonable person may take their focus off monitoring this system.
But tesla said they have no records of him complaining. Who is telling the truth?
1. Pilots get extensive training in that system.
Super rare.
Your right, my left. I was watching in New Zeleand.
I like the 1 minute mandatory stop idea. Just tires and adjustments. Hell, maybe even throw in a fresh driver. Like mini endurance racing.
You need a drivers license to get a gun, so it’s at least as difficult as that...
MeMa was big on the nose candy?
I don’t think it works that way. You sell what the consumer is buying.
I missed the part of my driving test where I was scored on monitoring a complex system with unfamiliar displays. Granted the U.S. driving tests are a joke, but at least I had to demonstrate driving, not what it is tesla is throwing on our roads and beta testing.
Most Americans can’t use an 80+ thousand dollar car (or 40+ in the case of the model 3). Especially when you consider it’s insufferable cross-country charging schedule.
So 70% of reservation holders are tire kickers giving the manufacturer a free loan? How do you define cult/fanboi behavior?
A model 3 isn’t useful for most Americans. Your point?
All well and good, but can they sustain that level of service?
GM didn’t pay it back. The government (i.e. the taxpayer) sold their share of GM at a loss.
1: why? These “Japanese built cars” are mostly all manufactured here stateside.
Couple hundred million at most. Hard to tell exactly with the way they report. Still not near enough to make a profit. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.teslarati.com/tesla-gigafactory-1-tops-1-3-billion-construction-costs/amp/
R&D last quarter was 1.4B. Total loss was 1.9B. Shutting down R&D doesn’t cover losses. https://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/tsla/financials?query=income-statement
