... or maybe this is an actual problem worthy of reporting, since people could die as a result, or is kissing Musk’s ass worth overlooking it?

Yeah that or maybe the cybertruck is a hilarious heap of hot garbage that deserves to be laughed at every minute of the day and then some.

We’ll never know.

Could be. I’d wager it has more to do with Elon’s career as a carnival-barking huckster foisting poorly-designed death traps on the public as innovation.

...hmmm if only there was something currently happening within the Justice Department that was pertinent to the question posed by this article.

I agree in principle, but actually driving my 2023 Tesla 3, it usually isn’t an issue. Many of the touch screen controls you can actually do with a voice command button on the steering wheel which is tactile. And the large touchscreen navigation map is faaar better than my phone’s Google maps app, which had nearly…

The First Amendment does not give the Chinese Communist Party the right to American data, or the right to manipulate the minds of Americans,” said Texas Representative Dan Crenshaw on the House floor Wednesday. “That would be a really weird interpretation of the First Amendment.”

“Until you divest from your current Chinese government-owned corporation and are picked up by another Chinese government-owned corporation by way of a dozen shell corporations, consider yourself banned, mister!”

I think there’s an amount of “Getting people introduced to and used to just having a touch screen - and someday not need to actually pilot their car at all, just sitting back and playing on a tablet to tell the car what to do, until they get to their destination”.

As a Y owner (with plenty of complaints, so I’m not a stan), the touchscreen really is not that bad as people make it out to be. Of course I have a physical shifter and it’s not on the screen like on the X (which I think is pretty dumb but I also wouldn’t be putting it in reverse and flooring it into a lake....probably…

Yeah, I read a lot about how touchscreens bad. But I never read about folks using the voice assistants to text/message folks.

Is it to hard to do ...

“Hey Siri, text my wife”
“OK Google, text my wife”

I’ve been doing this since Carplay and Android Auto debuted.

fk’n boomers (says a GenXer)

My parents bought an EV and I was shocked that everything on the dashboard has been reduced to two screens. One of them a touchscreen that you have to browse through to get to the settings you want. Why!? Buttons are good. Tactile interfaces are good! All I want from an EV is the exact same thing as my non EV, but…

Yes, the touchscreen in my car is atrocious. You literally have to take your eyes off the road to operate the heater controls. Systems like this should be banned, but all the lawmakers are corpo shills.

“a touchscreen interface for shifting its cars“

At this point most people would surely guess that “Watergate” was some scandal about tainted water.

Great observation! :D Lol I admit I thought of “antennagate” hahah because of the antenna problem with the iPhones some years back. Watergate was one of my favorite history topics in high school lol. 

There is nothing less funny than comedians whining that audiences aren’t laughing at their jokes.

Tosh and Jeselnik have both been talking about it recently in hilariously reasonable ways.

His whole act is hacky.. and most of it would have been hacky in the 90s, too.

A single single state solution is the only reasonable outcome.

Try One in Ten and the whole of the first album, Signing Off, to hear them before they went...um...downhill. I blame the cover of Red Red Wine, which I hated at the time and still do, but it seems I was the only one as you couldn’t move for it when it came out as a single in the UK and was #1 in August 1983 when I was…
