Very cool and congrats to Lucid. However, test after test of other EVs on road tests shows charging networks other than Tesla still suck. The Lucid better go far on a charge because finding a working fast charger is still a crap shoot. Having had both a non Tesla and a Tesla EV and experiencing both networks, the

Controlled stop in lane > uncontrolled crash. I agree that it will be great when the car safely pulls over to the side of the road and calls emergency services for you - or better yet, just drives you to the nearest hospital via FSD (thats a joke in case you missed it) but I’d rather have a stroke in a Tesla vs some

This guy is the scum of the earth. He should serve jail time as an example to others. We have enough legit problems in the world without people falsely making things up to ruin peoples lives with lawsuits, PTSD, financial burdens from increased insurance fees, and wasted time of emergency responders. I bet he (and

Please stop with the whole “my family never agreed to be beta testers” argument. Did you agree to let douche bags drive Mustangs leaving cars and coffee? Did you agree for every student driver on the road? Did you agree each time someone buys a phone who might text? Did you agree to ever instance of road work or

Lol.  We’re done.  You’ve never used it and you think spelling matters here.

Spelling error. You got me. There will probably be more of them.

Your right. Driver complacency is a problem. It has nothing to do with Tesla or Elons tweets or his lies or whatever. No one is tricked by AP. That is the point I’m making. The media is full of people up in arms about tweets and the names of the features which distracts from the issue. @GasMan is correct in that the

You ignored my entire post.  What you describe is an entirely different problem.

1st Gear -

While this could be a start, there is a long ways to go. Define hot weather. Define cold weather. For hot/cold weather, do the cars sit outside all day first? Any preconditioning? Define how long the acceleration for “pinks” is?  How much traffic on the highway routes? Any drafting behind trucks? Think like an

Making cars is hard? Oops, sorry, wrong manufacturer.

You failed to understand my point. The post above yours literally has 4 videos of people doing just that and your right, we don’t read all about it BECAUSE no one gives a crap since its not Tesla.  Jalopnik and others don’t splatter it across their page and people don’t comment about it.  

Its not exoneration of Tesla.  It’s confirmation that peoples blinding hate for Tesla causes them to overlook the same issues elsewhere.

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
