As far as I know from other articles, once you hit AV3, it’s on the car and manufacturer. Not you. 

“Guys. Guys. They’re so far behind I can barely even see them.”

I found the problem: Elon, you’re not supposed to point the telescope up your own arse.

“Who pays to fix things up if something goes wrong?”

We have the CEO of Tesla, where a major value proposition on their cars is autonomous driving systems, saying he has no clue what the competition is doing relative to autonomous driving. Are we really supposed to believe the Mercedes L3 approval was a total shock? What a load of shit. Can you imagine Jim Farley or…

This still makes me nervous

Yea it’s a weird position to take considering they aren’t even rated in the top three level 2 systems, let alone anything close to level 3.

Pretty sure that Jalopnik has already done more in depth articles on MB Drive Pilot

You’re so predictable, fanboy.

The reason Tesla is not Level 3 is that they require the driver to constantly supervise the features. I know Musk says it will drive itself, that you can sleep or whatever, and their FSD (capable) marketing is misleading... but they put in their manual and legal disclaimers that drivers are required to supervise and…

Yeah it could, but it is not.

We don’t even know who would be a distant second. I don’t think you can see second place with a telescope.

Yup! It’s honestly a pretty cool comeback story. That notorious downhill promo was over three years ago, the founder who was recently found guilty of fraud was ousted over two years ago and hasn’t had any involvement with the company since, the SEC has closed their probe into the company, and the product they’re…

A couple years ago I needed to have a car shipped. That business is filled with unscrupulous assholes. I had one shipper reach out to me with a picture of a Tesla semi in his email sig. When I asked him if that was a picture of his truck, he said, ‘it sure is!’

So noticed something. It took a light load 500miles ENTIRELY downhill.

Hate to break it to you, but if a loaded semi truck is getting 300 or 500 miles on the highway, it’s not going to charge in 30-40 minutes. I’m not detailed enough to get into the real math, but I’d bet that a battery big enough to do that would be upwards of 300kwh, based on the 100kwh “only” managing 400 miles in a…

The fact that the CEO is trying to sell these things that start with 6 tons of dead weight relative to diesels, with zero current charging infrastructure in place, to individual contract truckers by telling them they’re “badass” is a perfect example of why TSLA will continue to shed market cap.

It’s sounds like Tesla’s legal department had this whole thing on lockdown. It’s one thing to grift the rubes with half-truths, and quite another to try that with multi-national corporate clients.

Whatever the claimed ranges are, I won’t believe the numbers till some real world testing is done.

Jason Fenske had a pretty good video where he figured out approximately the weight of the truck.
