“Street racing is bad, don’t do it! By the way, here’s this cool dude that did 197 on public, unclosed roads.  He’s awesome!”

Only 19 percent of people said they would be comfortable putting their kids into a self-driving car. If it’s ever going to happen, it’s going to take billions-more miles of development testing and massive, years-long campaigns by the companies involved in development to curate demand for cars that drive themselves.

It’s kind of laughable that Takatsu can talk about not meeting “quality” standards on a car they have sold for >10 years with glass pistons.

I’m sure the accountants and lawyers at Tesla know how to do their job correctly. This incompetence is coming from senior leadership.

It’s incredibly amateurish. Even I would know to check the lease agreements before downsizing. This company has actual lawyers and accountants working for it (I presume).

Tesla’s “Disruptor” attitude of “fuck you, we’ll do as we please” continues to run into problems with actual reality.

Like these bananos?

I think my floors are made of glass, because I can see through them.
