i mean my comment literally includes a recommendation on what to do if he wants to buy a car so maybe that’s what about?

two thoughts.

you live a mile from school. walk when it is nice, have a friend pick you up when it isn’t. or buy a true beater for those days. a nice old honda accord with snow tires should do the trick. pocket the rest and go to europe the summer after you graduate (which if you’re getting 20 large from the folks to spend here…

bug guts are definitely aerodynamics related.  as soon as we got our new jeep, which is as aerodynamic as a brick, we instantly noticed bugs all over the windshield after a highway drive throught the middle of nowhere

just so you know, i do appreciate the humor of your shtick 

lmao you’re trying so, so hard

nah. i know full well that loyalty with a company is a one way street. I just happen to believe that a company is within its rights to ask employees to not do things with products that aren’t within the current scope of capabilities and then make videos about it, as this employee did. to be honest, the employee…

he’s pointing out a safety flaw in a mode that is not even part of their program. from Tesla’s on website on FSD, autosteer on city streets is not part of the package even as it exists in Beta

lmao you don’t know what a fully loaded jeep costs these days do you?

lmao I’m not a tesla stan. our cars are a rubicon and a minivan.

it’s kind of a big deal insofar as the employee’s story is concerned.  he wasn’t fired out of the blue.  tesla gave him fair warning, something they’re not required to do under california employment law.  he decided to ignore his employer’s rules around sharing info on their product, and he got fired.  it’s a…

as a matter of fact I am. explicitly, I am aware that in California a company may fire an employee at any time, without prior notice or reason.  nothing about this violates any employment laws.

he believes in free speech for himself and his profits and nothing else

tesla openly calls it a beta, tells people it’s beta and not actually capable of being FSD, has instructions explicitly telling people not to treat it as FSD on the platform site.  there is nothing comparable here to the 737 MAX, where data was hidden and certifications gundecked to make it look like it was ready for…

you could make a video heiling hitler and not violate any laws and still get fired for being a nazi. companies are allowed to do that. try another bad strawman

tesla itself tells everyone it is Beta (hence the “FSD Beta” called out in this very article) and puts the onus on the customer to keep control and awareness when using the bete.  whether they should be allowing customers to use it in the first place is debatable (i don’t thiunk they should), but tesla has CYA’d this 

Elon Musk plays Civ on Settler

what’s illegal about it?

you mean the product that is in beta has this on its website that was specifically not followed by the guy posting the videos?  we can parse whether Tesla is being disengenous with their autopilot warnings and whatnot, but the fact is this guy was using a system in beta in ways that are in conflict with instructions…

sure - or you could look at all those morons who joined the proud boys or 3 percenters and stormed the capit0l and see how much water their “i did it on my private time” actually rings true
