Most likely stock that was set aside for warranty/repairs but has now been deemed available for new car production.  Given the current supply chain shortages, this seems perfectly valid to me.  Tesla is up front about it and if your cool with this and want your car today, click buy.  Otherwise, get in line like…

This is what was actually filmed. You can tell CNN edited it with an agenda.

“What is kind of alarming, and what supports my main issues with all Level 2 semi-automated systems, were some tweets from people suggesting that their own driving abilities are being eroded from their long-time reliance on the FSD system”

...That nobody test-driving its driver-assistance tech has crashed into a school bus...

Yeah. That would be the first time anyone has ever crashed into a bus...

I’m surprised - and pleased - to see Jalopnik cover this. They seemed to report the original incident with glee. Wouldn’t it be nice if the media - all media - didn’t jump to conclusions before all facts of situations are known?

3rd gear: She sits on the board of a Lidar company. Kind of relevant.

And people like you amaze me. This is 100% the fault of this single driver yet people like you would ban/restrict/limit cars from everyone else while knowing it will do NOTHING to prevent the issue from happening again. There are hundreds of thousands of safe drivers with high power cars that you have no right to take…

“Hello, straw man. The real issue is how quickly the car accelerates to reach triple digits. Unless you’re experienced it’s super easy to lose control.”

I’m not sure.  I decided not to risk it so when I drove manually, I drove 100% manually without cruise just to make sure I didn’t drive the miles and not get credit for them.

As someone with a Tesla who played the game, here’s my take. First, the safety score is not perfect but on the whole, will encourage you to drive safer. It should really be looked at as an environmental safety score since it will be affected by things outside your control such as other drivers cutting you off or…

“While “a moose walks into the road” may seem like a niche test case for many American drivers, it’s an important circumstance to consider in colder climates.”

It really has nothing to do with cold climates. Substitute a moose with a kid chasing a ball or on a skateboard etc. and this is relevant to everyone.

“That said, in my immediate experience, if a gas powered car were to lose power on the highway, it would not automatically jam itself into park ...”

I had an 1988 Eagle Premiere (remember those?) that did just that. Brand new, 3 weeks old, transmission locked up in the middle of the freeway with zero warning. It was a…

How is it sneaky to release a fix to a serious problem (even if its only a partial fix)? That is what is supposed to happen. Feds investigate. They’ve told Tesla to address it. Tesla immediately releases patch (presumably first of many that will address other use cases). Once again, Jalopnik = Tesla hate.

They are trying to launch an IPO. Of course they will say it was the drivers fault and the truck worked perfectly. That said, I think it was probably peddle misapplication but even if it wasn’t, there is no way the truck will ever be at fault.

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.
