Turning the wheel/yoke like this at speed would result in a crash. It’s kind of irrelevant. 

Hmmm, maybe it has something to do with its name and how it’s marketed...

All why it should never be called “Full Self Driving” or anything alluding to it being able to do that. As the other commenter said, it’s more challenging to stay alert to take over something that could wind up killing you versus just driving yourself. 

Google doesn’t make cars and also is a properly functioning, stable company.

Yeah but it shows Tesla engineers have never heard of a handy process called a dFMEA.

Maybe, just maybe, if your shitty system didn’t allow for drivers to do whatever the fuck they want while it’s engaged (play games, take a nap, fuck), this wouldn’t have happened. All other OEMs have driver monitoring AND intervention at a decent level of rigor for their L2 systems.

First gear: this couldn’t be more obvious and it’s shocking that it has taken this long for them to realize that people can’t afford these monstrosities. Hubris is a funny thing. 

Fun fact: modern full size pickups in their HD guise actually have worse forward visibility than many Class 8 commercial tractors.

It’s sure great that we gave all the airlines ~$50B in 2020-2021 and all the good they’re doing with it to ensure safe and efficient flights. 

Look - I hate a lot about the way Tesla designs cars, but this is 100% operator error. If you can’t realize you’re going backwards instead of forward in about 0.5s and hit the brakes, get off the road. 

The right question. There is no street tire that can generate enough grip to accelerate a car this quickly. 

The start-ups are learning the hard parts about making cars now. Rivian with their $40k repair for a minor bumper-to-bumper that will tank resale value, Tesla with stupid things like this and more.

I was being kind of facetious. Of course that’s all it took.

Hmm looks like something they should have identified if they, you know, tested it.

There are very real reasons to shit on Tesla while still being generally positive on EVs. They do some great things and some very terrible things (everything ONLY on one screen, fit/finish) compared to other automakers. If they merely kept their great things and brought their terrible things to merely OK or average,…

No one talking about the correlation between the HORRIBLE interface from an HMI perspective (everything on one screen and burried in menus) on Teslas and some of these crashes, not to mention the FSD reliance. Also the speedometer is not directly within line of sight on Model 3, X, Y and no HUD. It’s terrible. Recent…

I don’t like Musk, but how exactly has he fucked this up? From my perspective the charger network is their biggest single asset. 

No, think of the math. Nothing is ever so perfect that 8 of 52 million reaches an appropriate level to do a recall. 

Because no one buying a Porsche sports car cares. You don’t buy a 911 Carrera for straight line speed prowess. 

No it’s not, because it’s pointless and Porsche owners couldn’t give a shit.
