Little doubt Tesla is overpriced but they also have a growing energy and services group generating around 35% of their revenue.

Oh yeah what I mean is autopilot handles curving roads but not a turn from one road onto another so it wouldn’t try to make a left or right turn it won’t even change lanes it will just keep you centered in the current lane with adaptive cruise control.

wanted a Tesla because it’s something my ex wouldn’t let me [have], and I regret buying that full price,” the 34-year-old tells CNBC

Sucks. The party that believes government isn’t capable of governing is on a suicide mission to make the government incapable of governing.

I’d bet the driver was impaired or wanted attention, drove on the tracks and got stuck or caught and then blamed someone else because that’s the American dream.

That sucks. We effectively regulate through the FDA software used in medical devices. I’d assumed someone in the DoT (maybe NHTSA) was regulating motor vehicle software but apparently we desperately need better regulation here.

Autopilot doesn’t turn, it’s just adaptive cruise control with lane keep assist. Gotta pay for “full self driving” to change lanes or turn from one street to another. The only way this could happen with autopilot is if the street you are driving down becomes a train track and that doesn’t make sense for either auto…

The second time, it tried to make an unprotected left turn across traffic and almost tboned a truck right in front of it.

Yikes. I wonder what is going on in the automotive industry that is enabling these critical glitches to get out, assuming there is an army of stakeholders from software quality, engineering, project and program management and up the chain responsible for the processes that let these high visibility quality failures to…

Not only California but the 17 other CARB states that enact California’s auto emission regulations.

There are ways to quantify that! The percent of consumers who would consider Tesla has dropped from 70% to under 40% in the last 2.5 years.

At least here in the UK...the salespeople apparently told him the market for them had plateaued

I feel like Tesla has one of the best BEV powertrains (probably second behind Lucid) and best charging network but most people care about what they touch and feel and when it comes to interiors Tesla is just not competitive with even Ford let alone Genesis.

I found it interesting that the 5% failure rate of Superchargers is perceived as being reliable while the 11%/9% failure rate of EA network is perceived as unreliable.

EVs with advanced driver-assist tech. Toyota, notably, lags on these two points

I really like the Mach-E and was interested in buying one while my Escape was in for service. The $10,000 dealer markup (which dealers held onto way too long) killed it for me but I’m excited to see how Ford and others build out their product ranges.

Looks like they walked into Pep Boys, waved their arms around pointing at everything and said “I’ll take it”

Engineers worked so hard for generations to make transmissions shift more smoothly, and now we’re taking perfectly smooth transmissions and making them less smoothly 🙈

Greissman said the expected sale of Fisker’s fleet would pay only a “fraction” of Heights’ $185 million in debt. That would leave little hope of repayment for other creditors.
