You can’t roll coal in a Tesla though.

Hey, for the next call, can you do a side-by-side commentary with a regular person and a Tesla Stan? That would be entertaining.

Tesla is fundamentally an AI company — not a carmaker.

The old pitch of owner-run robotaxis is back. The fleet will be managed by Tesla, but owners will be able to “rent out” their car, with controls over who gets to access it.

If this is the build quality we can expect of a $80-100k vehicle, can you imagine what it would have looked like on the (maybe) cancelled $25k car?

I’m sure Stalephish will show up any minute now to explain it to us.

Inb4 all the Tesla troglodytes compare this to the NACS situation where it took awhile for the big companies to realize the public charging network wasn’t going to match Tesla’s, and retroactively take Musk up on the offer 5 years later.

From the manufacturers’ standpoint, FSD must stand for “fucking stupid decision”.

And the generic response when you try to troubleshoot the buggy mess with their customer service:

Never mind the liability problems of a third-party system that you have little to no input on.

For anyone who has watched IT Crowd and saw the one where they go on Dragon’s Den (British version of Shark Tank) you’ll get the reference immediately. For those who haven’t seen it, you’ll probably get it too.

Don’t worry—we’ll have Elon stans here any moment to explain why legacy automakers should jump on the chance to incorporate what has become one of Tesla’s most embarrassing features into their own cars.

Because it’s not very good. No matter what Tesla fanboys say, the system is not that incredible. In the city, most people won’t use it since it’s too erratic. And on the highways, other automakers offer similar (if not better) product. GM’s Super Cruise works just as well. BMW’s DriveAssist Plus is surprisingly great. …

Why would any other company pay to integrate a beta that has considerable failures, and is offered by an egotistical fascist?

Glennon also announced her resignation on Twitter, writing, “I’ve resigned from Kotaku and Jim Spanfeller is an herb.

reminder that this website sucks:

I genuinely have a great feeling about this show. 

The problem with all these AI-focused ‘demos’ is that they’re still wildly behind the curve of what it takes to even come close to replicating human effort. They’re like the childish (but brilliant in its deliberate simplicity, so don’t misunderstand me) Up-Goer V poster from XKCD. These AI systems lack the necessary…

Over the years, Siri has gotten much better at recognizing what I’m asking for and responding accordingly.

Reminds of the stupid fucking AI voice used in so many TikTok videos. It’s beyond grating to me ears. I really can’t fathrom how anyone can sit there and actively listen to something so goddamn fucking annoying.
