I see you took drivers ed in the south.

Rural Mississippi, so it was Hank Jr.

I was taught how to take a turn with one hand doing the whole Karate Kid wax on/wax off maneuver while making sure not to spill the beer in the other or drop the ash on your cig. And that was in Driver’s Ed!

None. They can kiss my ass.

I’m agreeing with all of y’all, but I wouldn’t mind seeing driverless cargo carriers in some kind of lane that isn’t jacking up the interstate. Also, would be good for rapid bus transit or something like that.

Oh for sure, Elon is full of shit, Tesla’s ‘FSD’ promises are lies, we won’t have a production self-driving car for ten years or more, and these intermediate steps are only breeding dangerous complacency.

I’m appreciative for a truck for even small stuff, like bags of dirt, dirty coolers, kayaks, wheelbarrows, bicycles, and so on. that stuff just gets dirty and is a PITA to put into an SUV that I’m trying to keep from destroying the carpet in

Slow progress, but there needs to be a mindset change that commuting is synonymous with driving.

Totally reasonable point of view, and I think it’s ridiculous for tesla to remove input devices because all it does is reduce the market willing to buy their vehicles. That said... I’m just not going to buy a tesla, because there are other EVs that are better values for me for the cost and have the features I want.…

Kinda defeats the purpose of having over 1000hp and absurd 0-60 times though doesn’t it?

“All input is error.”

I’m guessing he regrets the kid?

Suggesting that input is error suggests a lack of respect or even an outright contempt for the human beings that choose to drive the car you’re trying to sell.

Autopilot never has and never will crash.  Just ask Elon.

Agreed, on both.  When I typed “eventually,” I was envisioning 15-20 years.

This would actually be interesting to know because Tesla would be pricing it. It’s a “put your money where your mouth is” sort of challenge. Regardless of what the public thinks, if Tesla thinks that their autopilot is better than the driver, then the insurance would be less. It’s not evidence that it’s safer, but…

Also cooling, don’t ever forget these massive banks of batteries get really hot when discharging and fast charging. If you have fiddly blocks all over the structure it’s going to create a plumbing nightmare. A big advantage in the skateboard is the (relatively) simple cooling layout.

I miss my Ranchero.
