“One thing is clear: We are continually working on offering our customers what they really want,”

oh yeah, bypass is the way to go.

A story as old as time. I have a c4 vette with the “chip” key. Awesome tech, until the resistor doesn’t make good contact in the key cylinder, then the ingition is locked out for like 15 minutes. Hope it makes better contact next time. Oh, it didn’t? sitting for another 15 minutes.

If it’s the easy why didn’t Tesla customer service explain that to him? Seems like an easy fix that any customer service could have explained in about 5 minutes.

They don’t bolt a bench seat into the bed without a cage. So, no.

they know he’s not afraid of twitter, but need clicky titles.

This happened awhile back to my buddies Neal and Del on the way to Chicago too. They had to drag their trunk across a farm field somewhere near Jefferson City and take a bus to St. Louis.

That’s a feature, not a bug. The solution to many bugs is to reboot, so they just built in an automatic 30 minute reboot cycle so that by the time the owner calls in with an issue the system has already rebooted clearing the issue (for now). computer troubleshooting 101, Dodge has it automated now.

“or it is going on a collector car auction site were it will probably bring more.”

and that would look terrible. They’d rather settle without admitting fault. Because the public is stupid and believes that no fault “meeting standards” Pr crap companies tell them.

I’m not saying you have to like it. But the law is the law.

The same is being alleged here. Ford new and dragged their feet doing anything about it.

The cases rarely go to a verdict. They usually settle, but they settle because the manufacturer knows that meeting standards is not legally determinative.

How many product defect litigations have you followed? It happens all the time.

There is already precedent. This isn’t new. Meeting standards does not absolve manufacturers of liability, period. Standards are just a floor imposed by regulation (which we all know is not exactly perfect). And while it speaks to the culpability of a manufacturer it does not absolve them of anything.

Meeting safety standards does not eliminate culpability of manufacturers for known issues that harm consumers.

I know a private OTR trucking company that finally quite working with Amazon. From what I heard working with Amazon can bring a lot of volume but its an abusive relationship and the only way to keep them happy and make money is to cut corners . For example, if they call with extra loads you MUST take them or you get…

I know, and get it. Just get a kick out of the “it works” mentality after it texted the entire family and called 911. Reminds me of the tech bro startup people I’ve worked with.

Yes, definitely sounds like the users fault, they need to disable the feature when it possible they are going to drop their phone. Then turn it on again when they are no longer going to drop their phone.

So, dropped Iphone texts entire family and calls the police when it falls onto the ground. And that is classified as “apple crash alert works”.
