But they don’t typically do stuff like add random unrelated hyperlinks to text, but rather they put them in some footer in the article or they add a paragraph where they can tangentially add a link. It’s quite shameless to just sprinkle in random links completely unrelated to the text.

Jalopnik have been doing that for a while now (putting hyperlinks that don’t lead to what it implies it is leading to).

That seems like a good idea, most of the solutions out there are missing gaskets, which is what separates them from trunks in terms of weatherproofing.

My understanding is tonneau covers are “mostly waterproof” meaning they keep most of the rain out, but some may still leak in (especially when pressure washing), especially at the ends and corners. At least that is the experience with my relatives with Tacomas or GM trucks.

I don’t think any system out doesn’t have an independent drive computer (which makes it possible to reboot the infotainment screen without affecting driving functions). Even Tesla models with its single screen can drive perfectly fine while the screen is rebooting. Not sure if it’s required by federal safety…

Yeah, from comments by former writers in that article about YouTubers leaving major channels, I can totally believe this may be forced on them. Basically instead of writing interesting articles, the management is forcing them to write only "news," which generally gets less clicks. I guess the clickbait titles are…

They’ve been doing this for a while, where if you point it out, they would justify it by explaining how the title is technically correct or how to interpret it to be correct, even though it is obviously misleading to anyone reading it.

His contribution to the “world” is irrelevant, as the compensation wasn’t provided by the “world”. Rather it’s the shareholders that decide on it and are providing it based on his contribution to Tesla. The logic is that he was able to generate $590 billion in shareholder value over that time period, and $56 billion…

Well, the article attempts to give an illusion of depth by including vehicle taxes, and all the small like item fees in it and coming up with a fairly exact number of vehicles. If you are going to bother, then factors that change the amount massively should be pointed out.

Yep, that is what most billionaires do (including Musk). I’m just entertaining the idea however of the premise of the article (which is cashing out on all the shares).

The logic behind it is because the market cap at time of award was $59B, and the award was based on him achieving a max $650B market cap (which seemed impossible at the time), giving him a roughly 10% cut of the shareholder value he delivered. He ended up achieving the impossible.

I think there are a few fairly significant flaws in this analysis:

Yeah, I’ve seen way too many “journalists” make the same claim when that very much isn’t the case. There are legit criticisms out there for Boeing, but in this case people are getting it dead wrong.

Your auto creep setting just happened to have enough power to keep it from rolling for the hill you were on. Try the same thing on a 30 degree hill, while switching back and forth between forward and reverse (as I was doing to maneuver into a spot). I doubt your system is actually adjusting the power specifically to…

My Tesla very much does roll back if I let off the accelerator on a hill and release the brake hold.

As mentioned, Teslas have that too (Tesla calls it “Vehicle Hold”).

The owners never say they applied the throttle in unintended acceleration cases, and they typically aren’t lying because in their minds they were pressing the brake.

I never said it was a new feature, just explaining why it exists and how it is used.

Yes it does have hill hold, which I also use all the time, but that is not sufficient in some cases on super steep hills because when your release the hold, there is still a possibility of jerk. I’m talking about cases of parking in very steep hills (~20-30% grade as is common in San Francisco) where you have very…

I use this feature on steep hills all the time. When you are on a steep hill and need precise accelerator control, in a Tesla you can left foot brake and ease up on the brake while easing in the accelerator. The screen will show a warning that says you are using both pedals at the same time.
