a human could easily drive 74 in a 65. Guess Autopilot sucks (surprise). Funny that these are the excuses they resort to. Almost as bad as selling a beta product, calling it Autopilot, and acting surprised when people think it works like an autopilot.

This was bad planning. A good idea would be to sell it to some sucker at least three states away. You know, like Tavarish did...

Maybe that’s where all this confusion came from.

Any half decent manager would know he/she was being lied to. It’s not like they padded their sales a bit, they fabricated the longest month over month increases of any automaker in the US.

Do you mean the readers or the Jalopnik writers? If you take a look at how much Jalopnik has covered Tesla over the past year or so and actually read some of those articles, it’s pretty clear that Jalopnik writers have a massive, throbbing boner for Tesla.

I don’t think Infiniti will have a problem selling these, however I feel like the biggest demographic of buyers of the QX30 will be middle aged female professionals rather than millennials.

$150 per month is a lot for car insurance? That is adorable.

I have a better idea. Buy a cheaper used car that’s within your means so you don’t have to buy solar panels and whore it out to other people just so you can afford to have it.

I think the real issue with the Model X is that this is the reaction it gets from most people whenever they see one:

Failing to periodically place hands on the steering wheel violates terms drivers agree to when enabling the feature, the Tesla spokeswoman said.

Tesla spokeswoman says not to use ironically named “autopilot” feature without having hands on wheel and paying attention to the road and your surroundings... “In layman’s terms, the autopilot feature is only safe to use if you have a human actively driving and steering the car”, she went on to say.

If only all their hidden bombs were so easily diffused

OMG, why do people back down from this? I would travel to court every day for a month to ensure this man went to jail. I mean come one, dude tried to murder you on the side of the road for NO REASON, he needs a nice stay in one of California’s terrible correction facilities. This is why people are hyper aggressive on…

PRESS CHARGES. PLEASE!!!! PRESS CHARGES!

It’s not a coincidence that Tesla is the only car manufacturer in the world who 1) Markets their system as Autopilot and in the way that they do 2) Has(had?) disabled the safety features requiring you to hold on to the steering wheel all the time (sure, you can take them off for a moment but that basically forces you…

If that’s the case, they shouldn’t market it as an autopilot system. I can buy a car with adaptive cruise control and a lane keeping assist system that achieves the same outcome, but by marketing these items as assists the manufacturer makes it clear that these items are meant to supplement the driver, not replace…

No they don’t. When you call something “autopilot” and give it features that allow it to essentially drive itself, people are going to allow it to do so, and then won’t pay attention. “Autopilot” has a distinct and singular connotation to everyone, and Tesla has not backed away from calling their system such.

Yeah, if only people like Elon Musk’s own wife didn’t post videos of themselves goofing around and ignoring the road as though Autopilot was a self-driving feature.

What? They market it as “Autopilot” as opposed to advanced cruise control (which it is)

When the cars can fully drive themselves there won’t be problems delivering them to customers.
