You don’t get it do you. It isn’t about can or can’t. Franchised dealerships are 3rd parties with different agendas they look at things as $ earned / time spent. Historically speaking it takes more time to explain an electric car to a consumer than a gasoline car. So if you go into a dealership, they will try to

That is complete nonsense. First of all, there is nothing wrong with having a monopoly on selling your own product. It is called a vericle monopoly and is a-ok. The Monopolies that are a problem are horizontal monopolies and government granted monopolies (what dealerships are in the US).

Based on NHTSA delegations, autopilot is not considered a driver but an assist feature. So responsibility is on the driver. The feature is disabled by default, the user enables it and agrees to the terms.

Both Tesla and the driver are a 1st party. Tesla is a first party because the sensor data is theirs. Which means they have access to the data and context of said data.

Because you are talking about 2 completely different investigation procedures. When government investigates, they are a 3rd party, so the investigation has to look at all side and find inconsistencies and piece things together. When you have your own data, there is no need to do that, you just go off based on what

They have multiple sensors, it is impossible for the sensors to be wrong. It is possible for the sensors to give incorrect data, sure. But that would be more of a glitch and you would quickly see inconsistencies.

People are not very good at driving their cars either. We are just at the early stage where people don’t realize blackboxes come in 98% of new cars. And insurance companies are going to be soon requiring access to the blackboxes to process insurance requests.

Let me recap for you the conversation:

Again with nonsense.

Yes, you are required to give right of way before driving over another lane (especially when going AGAINST traffic) as seen in this police diagram. The driver of the Truck is pending criminal charges.

There are many factors that influence range, like all cars, direction of wind, cold temperature and in case of Russia, poor roads.

Superchargers are meant for long distance charging, not charging locally. In the US the amount of people who live in apartment buildings is only 13%. If you live in a luxury condo, chances are you have a dedicated spot which you can install charging into. Some condos in Florida already have chargers.

lol, you are speaking nonsense. Fact of the matter is, majority of cars that get into car accidents have wheels. Ban wheels. Without wheels you won’t have car accidents.

No, automatic drive isn’t a yes/no proposition. A responsible human driving the car is a proposition for driving as a whole, not just for automatic drive.

Musk exact statement was that if autopilot was on it would have prevented the crash. It says in the article the guy had 40 seconds to respond. Which he did at 15 seconds and caused the crash due to oversteering.

It just has to be reliable enough relatively, which it is.

Trusting something is not the same thing as being reckless and watching a DVD (which is illegal). The first few times I was put in a car, I felt anxious just like on an airplane. Then after many hours flying on both airplanes and driving/being driven in a car I felt confidence and trust.

So what do you suggest we change the name of autopilot on airplanes to then?

So you are saying every car in the world is defective? Cause they would all do that unless the driver actually decides to stop or move the car.

Tesla did not miss any sales targets, they missed delivery targets due to delays. Not the same thing as lack of sales.
