The Honda Element was a far, far superior vehicle to the CyberTurd. Those of us with Honda Elements that are two decades old but still running perfectly (except for the crappy front seat fabric) would love to have the choice to buy a new one. There’s four of them on my street alone.

I’ve been spending a bit of time behind the wheel of a Tesla and I’m astounded how bad the camera only system is at detecting critical items like boomgates or gutters. It makes parking difficult because you only get these weird grey blurs instead of a proper 360 degree view - something the really good cameras could…

The 40k version will be for sale later this year in the form of aftermarket sales.

...because he can’t think about anything beyond what looks cool...

Ceci n’est pas UN train.

Train being a masculine word, the prefix should be un and not une ( which designates a feminine word ).

French, I know...

“I think the initial fanfare, excitement and hype for the Cybertruck has quickly evaporated.”

Sounds like structured fraud to me.

Twitter and Joe Rogan’s audience indicate otherwise. Well, maybe most of them are poor.

Oh he will, just not the way HotScott is hoping.

elon aint gonna fuck you, dude

If anyone wants to see a prime example of the concept of “sunk cost fallacy” in action, look no further than a Cybertruck owners forum.  Those folks have convinced themselves that these things continue to be in very high demand and will rival something like the Tacoma in terms of retaining value.

The real message here is that the geniuses who created the software, and have been updating it for many year, never thought that cars may encounter trains!

It is far more concerning that it doesn’t show recognition of the RR-Xing crossbucks and that there is a rail line crossing that isn’t a conventional road.

At least this is an upgrade from the other times Autopilot didn’t even see the train.

IMO it depends on if the system actually does just view a RR crossing as another intersection with cars going past, or if the interface just doesn’t have train assets to show you that it can tell the difference. RR crossing are something that cars encounter enough in the world that not being able to ID it as its own…

The Boring Company’s very existence proves that Elon, at least, is definitely unaware of trains.

Amazing that the company which successfully remembered to program fart noises into the car, which is so very necessary to its successful operations, didn’t remember the existence of trains.

“Accidentally reinvented basic infrastructure” is such an apt description for so much of the nonsense that comes from the tech industry these days.

Given how many times tech-bros have “accidentally reinvented” basic infrastructure like Buses, Libraries, etc. - it’s possible that Tesla is honestly unaware of trains...
