Correct. Tesla’s ‘Autopilot’ and FSD are just Level 2 systems, no matter how they are marketed or able to be used

I looked at the document, and read several comments. A few points:

The OEM’s allowed to put C quality and worse parts on assembly line vehicles. The government waived the standards requirements during covid and haven’t been reinstated yet. So a badly shaped part or a part that is too thin in an area would flex on install and be overly stressed. Top that with the roof being a flexing…

Basically you only use one when you snap a bolt and need to weld a bolt head onto it. I’ve snapped plenty of exhaust studs and sometimes welding a nut ends up being the easiest thing to do if a stud extractor doesn’t have enough material to grab on the broken stud. 

Manufacturing defects and errors happen all the time. Plus, if it’s not something they’ve had an issue with before, it reasons to stand that they might not check for it before vehicle release.

Oooohhhh Yeeaaahh!

SNAPPED INTO A CHOPSHOP!

If this is real this is insane simply because this will have to be adopted by every other self driving system by any other manufacturer and this is a massive win/innovation for Mercedes yet again. For those that dont kno, Mercedes is respondible for pretty much every day to day and “normal” regulated feature in…

Welding, at a dealer, seems like a pretty sketchy fix.

They do! 

They make pool antifreeze 

Exactly...yeah, I hate all the huge plastic covers over the engine in new cars...I understand what they are for but they are stupid

The Taycan completely shifted my perspective on electric cars. With my initial EV experience coming from the Nissan Leaf and early Tesla Models Ss, I felt that EVs would be numb, heavy, and lifeless with only acceleration as the key distinction.

Just about the only EV I am 100 percent interested in besides Honda’s new prelude. It confuses me though, because I heard 1 idling one time and down shifting and I was bamboozled.

“Hey boss, you’ll never believe why I was late to work this morning..”

oh, it will have been much, much more than that. A “normal” Chiron Super Sport already costs $4 million on its own, and choosing the Vagues de Lumière paint on its own likely runs upwards of $500K. 

One of the big issues is calling a fancy adaptive cruise control “autopilot” and “full self drive” that not only confusing consumers on it’s own, but also the fact that Tesla unofficially markets them more in line with their fake marketing names than their true functionality, and leave the small print to save them…

Travis Shumake is moving up to Top Fuel in 2024 as a team owner and driver. He says he’s getting lots of support from other racers. He’s the son of the late Tripp Shumake, a nitro funny car racer.

Good for these boys, I hope they have success monetizing it.  YouTube should help, depending whether they can get viewers.

Insane to think people hate on this car. ‘bUt ItS nOt a FerRari or LaMbo”
