As mentioned above and in the previous robotaxi announcement, there is no way Musk is announcing anything but a Tesla being driven buy a guy in a bodysuit at his robotaxi reveal.  If FSD were available, the people who paid for it years ago would have it enabled now.  

Imagine doing this instead of just not shooting innocent people.

I don’t understand this safety regulation stuff for cars when motorcycles are completely legal...What is this safety for? It’s so backwards, trucks and SUVs should be regulated out the ass simply because they have the potential to cause more external damage than smaller cars. Is my thinking incorrect?

That’s before you consider the hundreds of thousands billions of dollars worth of damage caused along the storm’s path.

We also have 6000 lb SUVs traveling at 60 MPH on 6 lane roadways in front of local suburban shopping centers. The mass exitance of local shopping centers with high speed, multi-lane roads between them really messes with us. 

Because Americans, like Alton Brown, hate unitaskers. Most people should be using mini cars in places they make sense like dense urban areas, and renting a pickup from Home Depot for $25 for the 75 minutes they actually need them every other year. We should also be building out robust public transportation on the…

that being said, i’m kind of in awe of the outcome. its surprising to see at least 3 complete strangers (driver, dispatch, officer on scene) work a dire problem under a known constraint with all outcomes but one being very bad and achieve what i perceive to be the optimal outcome.

Car and Driver tested this many years ago even with cars with 400+ HP. The brakes on every single car they tested were strong enough to slow and stop a car with a stuck gas pedal. I don’t know if there is some software in this Pilot that doesn’t allow the brakes and gas to be used simultaneously, but if there is…

I’m sure there will be all kinds of speculation on what the driver could have done, but having a teenager who may not know anything about the vehicles features, plus a 911 operator who has no automotive expertise is pretty easy to understand how this could happen.  There are people who drive cars, and people who’s…

Yes - use the parking brake while going 100 mph. That would be a great decision. 

Somehow I see more of these monstrosities every week where I live and yet I just laugh and laugh at every piece of news about how broken they are and shake my head about how many deeply gullible people there are to buy them.

I’ve driven a Tesla since 2018 and the delayed reverse camera has been something that has been happening for that entire time in my car. Some software updates fix it, some break it again. I don’t foresee a final fix anytime soon. 

Da fuck is a sideshow?

First rule of oceanography is: no steel is stainless.

It’s Asheville, with the ‘e’.

I mean, they aren’t old, they’re just folks who buy the issue about cars every time they buy a new car to make sure the car they’re looking at doesn’t have some gigantic red flags. In other words, normal, non-chronically online people.

How many limbs are we talking about?

If you asked the question, “Who is Nissan?” or “Who is Ford?”, you would get confused looks. Maybe some people would name the CEO, if they even knew who it was.

Absolutely. Some of the lobotomies weren’t recent.

102k for that delivery experience is absolutely hilarious. Do they have anybody that works there that has not had a recent lobotomy?
