No - he was jamming the brake, hence the back wheels locked up.  The software decided to keep the power on to the front wheels though...

From what I’m seeing and reading, yes... Truck did what it was told to do... User was a dumb ass...

Your CT does not believe in hesitation. Your CT believes that real leaders make bold decisions and move forward. Your CT believes in you. As a result, the accelerator may or may not disengage when the brake is depressed if your CT believes that stopping will leave you short of achieving your full potential.

Huh. Wodathunk having your spazztic cretin of a CEO alienate your biggest buying demographic would be bad for sales?!

Hertz unexpectedly dumping all those Teslas has simultaneously made a bunch of used Teslas available, lowered the resale value and total cost of ownership proposition and made for some bad press for just Tesla. Elon’s antics with X don’t help...

I wonder why this is a problem that bELONgs only to Tesla. Weird.

Can’t say it enough times.  Only Tesla is suffering, everyone else...the global EV market as a whole, is moving forward at considerable speed.  The ‘great change over’ is closer than a lot of people want to believe.

Looking around at this wonderful, peaceful, smoothly-running world we have now, I’d be happy to swap the male/female ratio of leadership in government, business, science and education for a decade and see how things shake out... 

Some of the warmest moments in recent history for me was discovering that women are absolutely kicking down the barriers of male dominated spaces.

Seriously. At this point, my first thought was, “Can we please get this guy some protection? Before he ‘commits suicide’?”

Evergreen at this point:

The information comes from a June 11 complaint by Boeing inspector Sam Mohawk

It won’t create a solid shell, or anything, but the impact risk is certainly rising. Not so much of a risk to things launching from the ground as a risk to things that will be orbiting at similar altitudes; launch is an instantaneous risk, whereas residing in orbit creates a very long-term cumulative buildup of risk…

This being Xi’s thing, not the CCP’s would have been a much more valid argument 10 years ago. We’ve now been through 12 years of CCP purges, some of which really did serve to fight corruption, but that also replaced more moderate members of the leadership with those who have promoted more aggressive use of Chinese…

The rest of the CCP have no ideology aside from staying in power and getting their hands in every cookie jar. Even Li Qiang is far more liberal than Xi. Xi couldn’t even find a mini-me for his number two. China’s industries will outlive Xi Jinping.

Whether a private corporation in China is owned by the CCP isn’t really the issue anymore. Your example of Jack Ma kind of proves the rule too. He, despite all his wealth and power, had no ability to protect himself or his company when he ran afoul of Xi. The party decided what was going to happen to them, and that’s…

He seems to be getting plenty of good government contracts while on all the drugs!

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this whole premise predates both Tesla and Porsche:
