What the fuck is this? Written by someone who has no concept of reality outside of NYC? On a CAR centric website?

I take it you’ve never driven a Volt. They’re great cars, killed by politics and worthless marketing.

Go figure they’re higher right around the time for my yearly fill-up in my Volt.

These are the people who built “Falcon Doors” into a family crossover. Because hey, nothing ever goes wrong, and who needs to be able to use roof racks once in a while, right? So instead, they spent a lot of money on those cool-looking doors, and then bragged about how they open even in tight parking spots, and look,…

We are of the same mind.

lol, just typical tech baron shit. I appreciate Tesla for all its done in mainstreaming EVs and building a car company from scratch. Truly impressive feats. However, as someone who will most certainly by an EV here in the next few years i wouldnt ever consider buying one from Tesla. 

Two questions to FSD testers. Will Tesla pay for damages if FSD messes up? This is exactly the kind of situation where a radar/lidar unit would have been useful. How do you feel about Tesla deciding to rely purely on computer vision and taking radar out of their cars completely?

Well if I’m to understand the commenters from last week regarding self driving running stop signs, Tesla has to allow the cars to hit stuff occasionally, because that’s what real drivers do.

“People willing to beta test our lives is crazy” - fixed

That at least involves consent by the user. I never consented to walking or driving around this half-assed AI tech.

People willing to beta test their lives is crazy. 

Plus lots of cheap hydropowered electricity. So it's cheaper to run an electric car.

Drove my first Model 3 recently....I gotta say, that is one shit interior for the money. It’s even worse than I’d read.

Dude, you don’t have an argument. Your position is “Self driving systems should commit crimes because I like to commit crimes while driving.”

Elon Musk is never going to love you, no matter how hard you lick his boots on the internet.

Oh good lord shut up. “People break the law so we designed our system to break the law too” is absolutely absurd.

I’ll never understand this. Yes, we all do rolling stops. But no rational mind would program a consumer product to intentionally break the law.

1st Gear: Why was this ever a functionality in the first place? They literally programmed their self driving system to break the law.

Easy to hate on, but it’s providing a cheap 3-row option for a lot of people who may be priced out of the category. It’s the same reason the Dodge Journey kept having success even 10 years after it was introduced.

The EVs coming out from newer startups and legacy OEMs are proving that Teslas aren’t luxury cars. How? Because of the pricing. EVs are expensive, and Tesla’s competitors are priced in the same ballpark (OR HIGHER) as the equivalent Tesla model. Model 3/Polestar 2, Model Y/Mustang Mach-E, Model S/Mercedes EQS/Lucid…
