How about instead of blaming others, we blame the people actually responsible for their actions?? They stole the car, they drove recklessly, they threatened others with a gun. All of this is illegal and 100% their fault. Period.

This could have been your slam dunk article on Tesla. Fly out there, get a Tesla from Turo, and go video yourself driving the road and catch AP trying to kill you. Otherwise, all you’ve done is say there are possibly 5 people with Tesla’s with horrible reaction time.
Sure it does. Consider the other possible situations. For example, you now have a car that can come to a controlled stop if a driver has a stroke or becomes incapacitated instead of continuing out of control.
No, its not if it removes a different risk at the same time.
“And I would be OK with this if I wasn’t in one of those *other* vehicles on the road that your beta software might decide to run into. *I* didn’t agree to be a beta tester.”
Tesla said all cars have the FSD hardware. They were wrong and they admit that. For anyone who bought FSD back then, they will upgrade your hw for free so they make good on their word. If you didn’t buy FSD, there is no reason to upgrade your HW because you can’t use it. This is the rub right here. People are arguing…
Mini convertible rear window. Requires a whole new top as the glass is glued into the canvas and can’t be replaced separately. $5500 repair!
This would suck BUT, its not unheard of. First, he should have had the right insurance but he didn’t. That is his fault and he acknowledged it so there is normally a “safety net” for things like this. The back window of my wife’s mini convertible got broken and the only fix is to replace the entire top at $5500. I…
Um, it doesn’t (if implemented correctly. I’m sure legacy car manufactures would screw it up though). If you want a Plaid Tesla for example, you get in line and you pay the same price for the same car as everyone else.
Great reply! There are a couple more bullet points to add to the list:
From what I understand, it operates the same way except it doesn’t make a chime when cruise is engaged with the first click of the stalk. It did chime after the second click of the stalk to engage AP. The big “safety recall” that the media is flipping out about is to push a software version that adds the chime. That’s…
Does anyone ACTUALLY buy a pure base car without a single option? Some statistics about that would have been useful in the article. I doubt very many people do which is why manufacturers don’t put much focus on them except to have them “technically” available so they can advertise lower prices.
So, the people that actually have the car are kind of neutral but I should listen to how you feel about it because why??
I think (and really really hope) the number of people that consider the name of a car trim as a deal breaker is really small.
I think the issue here is charging network. Norway is small and has infrastructure that makes EVs with typically less range than Tesla more viable. The US doesn’t. Tesla’s Supercharger network is a massive differentiator and can easily sway a buyer even if the cars are comparable.
Just watched the video. Guy is having a bad day for sure. How do we know this has anything to do with Amazon or his job?
Great. Does this mean your satisfied they have done enough to prevent abuse and when someone finds away to work around it (and someone will) or purposely blocks the update so they can still be tools, we can blame them and not Tesla?
From what I have heard on various videos from Tesla’s autonomy day and from Andrej Karpathy, the problem with multiple types of sensors is that frequently, they don’t always agree. What do you do if the camera says the road is clear but radar says there is something there? If you ignore the radar, you may hit a parked…
First, I’m a Tesla fan (owner & investor) but this guy is a tool and people like him give us all a bad name and put autonomous driving at risk by their stupid actions. Cut it out!! Your doing harm to the company you claim to love. For the kid riding in the back seat (and anyone else caught purposely circumventing the…
