I appreciate the demonstration but conclude from it nothing that you seem to hope I will have concluded. This is an important fix.

“So while the Tesla’s is slightly smaller”

It isn’t SLIGHTLY smaller, the font is about 1.5mm, which is less than HALF the standard.

The many issues that indicate Teslas are junk:

- Wheels come off
- Control arm failures even when parked
- Panels come off
- Glass comes off
- Spontaneous thermal overrun fires
- Batteries unrecoverable due to podding
- Doors fail to operate in an accident
- Mechanical door latch overrides are in a different location on each…

Because they’re generic looking, the interiors are clown car ridiculous and designed by people who think “progress” means “I saw something like this in a movie once,” the assembly is a joke and every Tesla I’ve seen looks like it was put together by an unskilled laborer assembling a Technic Lego set, and, oh yeah,…

“Cybertruck looks like a toddler’s drawing of a truck.” John Oliver.

It looks like they took the absolute easiest way out. To include the icon and readable text (which they should have done) would have involved the extra few days of work laying out a new UI, instead they just replaced the image files. Even the updates are shoddy.

That surprised me too. I guess they asked for Tesla to make them brighter and/or clearer, and the solution to the right - which does not follows the symbol standards - is probably Tesla’s way of saying “fuck you” to NHTSA for asking to have them legible: They are clearer visibly, but the Brake, Park, and ABS are now…

The real issue is probably not one of practical safety, but one of, once again, Tesla just feels that established rules do not apply to them. Every other automaker gets this established, easy and non-controversial issue right, and Tesla just says, nah, ‘eff it, we’re going to disrupt warning gauges for the hell of it.

Is this a small issue? Sure. But...the font on the right sure is way easier to read than the font on the left, despite even the image on the right being a lower resolution image than that on the left. Was the disparity in image quality intentional?

Thanks for the pic - that really helps provide context and demonstrate that the post-recall version is massively superior.  

“Voluntary recall” almost always means that NHTSA went to the vendor and said “There’s a problem, and you don’t seem to be fixing it. It sure would be a shame if the government had to issue a recall instead of you doing it yourself. Sure would be a shame.” The UI on the right is FAR superior.

Hold on... suppose for a moment DeSantis got a more likable stand-in for all his appearances... Joe Pesci, for instance. (I know it’s a stretch, but Joe could slouch or something.)

I guess.

Oh, sure, Elmo is asking. But where is the Count? Does he not love me? I laughed EVERY time he laughed after counting. EVERY FUCKING TIME.

Really missed an opportunity for #ElmotionalWellBeing

Doesn't matter.  It's just good when he's miserable.

HAFO - Horse around and find out.

Walmart Mozart 🤣🤣🤣

Also, when you layoff existing employees, you’re losing existing know-how and training - even if you can readily replace the laid off employee with someone identical when demand rises, that new person won’t have the existing experience and skills.

Bro... Airbusses are made by Unions too. The rockets that took people to the moon were built by unions. The bombers that helped the allies win WW2 were built by unions. Check that unwarranted hatred of yours, it isn’t a good look.
