The confusing part is the complaint reads that the driver tried to take control but the car seemly overpowered or overruled his inputs. That’s not really how it works.

Yeah, user not paying attention. If you turn the wheel, you can take over easily. He wasn’t paying attention. 

Don’t disagree with increased testing, but the harping on about ‘public testing without our consent’ is garbage.

Seeing as neither parent gave birth, they’re should be minimal recovery time for either parent. No sitz baths or nursing or pumping to do. One parent doesn’t need to stay home to take care of the babies because the other parent is physically unable to do so. I’m sure they want to bond with the newborns, welcome to…

1st Gear: I would say it was more than just good. I’d say Tesla had a kick-ass quarter.

Thats my understanding of the issue. She makes money from a company that sells products that helps AI driving. All it takes is a few policy changes about how lidar is required and her wealth would skyrocket. 

A 200hp car can do 116 as well. This isn’t about the horsepower, but more about the idiot doing 116 in a 30. More bureaucratic red tape because somebody didn’t follow the current laws isn’t going to change with new laws. 

You guys covered this when it came out. It was also determined at that time that the margin of error on it was so large as to be completely useless.

The statement is that they’ll lose jobs if they transition too slowly to EVs. Presumably the argument is based on the expectation that they’d lose revenue as other automakers overtook them. Doesn’t seem unreasonable even if the 30k figure is complete BS.

I do not think it is any stretch of the imagination that today’s hulking pickups would immediately all-but disappear off the road if we hiked up the gas tax.

Um, this is the fourth Tesla article today. I know you guys enjoy trolling the Tesla Stans, but it’s getting a bit transparent. 

Yes. Because the point is not to select good drivers. The point is to select low risk environments, where FSD will be less likely to be called on to handle a situation it can’t yet.

Great. Let’s criticize their panel gaps next!

Just the new guy jumping on the anti-Tesla Jalopwagon I guess

Not that hard to understand, really. We’ve driven 23,581 miles in 15 months in our Model 3 LR, covering much of the eastern US. We’ve never had to wait for a Supercharger. Twice we had an inoperable connector, which we solved by moving to the adjacent connector (I assume you’re familiar with A and B connectors,…

I forgot to mention another thing. There are a lot of CCS chargers with 2 CCS ports, but you can’t use them at the same time. They only have one on each side to enable more flexibility on reaching your car, but two cars can’t use them simultaneously. Some care needs to be used to account for this (not sure if the stat…

“Where Tesla only has 1266 charging ports in the US”. That’s incorrect. They have that many stations in the US, they have far more charging ports than that as each station averages around 10 stalls per station.

I work with a lot of tech companies - a LOT of them are making similar moves and have been for the past year or so. These are big operational moves, usually out of California. There’s a lot more to this than I think you’re willing to explore here, and I also find it pretty absurd to wave-away the discussion about cost…

Well, you see, the owners held their thumbs over the license plates while taking pictures, so they are 100% untraceable.

That’s when we’ll know Tesla has really made it.
