kb@atomicpoet I want dumb electric vehicles, well, really I want walkable cities and less things requiring transportation to begin with
WndlB@atomicpoet @donkeyblam Had two now, they ALL are complete snitches, because sale of data. But remember during that hurricane evacuation when the Teslas got like 10% more range—while en route? He could and would.
HollieK@atomicpoet @donkeyblam And me. Walkable cities, good public transport, proper cycle paths that are separate from the pavement and road, etc.
Narvuntien@donkeyblam @atomicpoet
My opinion is that electric cars are the fast solution and redesigning cities is the long term approach.
Right now the cost of the batteries mean that people want to feel like they bought a $60 000 car when they buy an electric car and adding more tech to a car is cheap.
kingcoherent@donkeyblam @atomicpoet walkable and cyclable cities ftw. The cycle highways in London help, but there aren’t enough of them (and others are stupid, with car parking spaces in the middle of them).
IHeartHockey29That is my issue with EVs. I want to control my own car. I want door handles that open from the outside in case I need rescuing. Right to repair. Maybe cruise control & parking assist.
XM424987 (Yrba Eboovaf) 𓃬𓅳@iHeartHockey29 That's what most EVs are like. Just don't get a Tesla.
Lazy Circles Esq@leonrobbins @iHeartHockey29 Think you’re talking Teslas.
I have a MachE GT and I don’t have those issues. Plus my car doesn’t smell like dirty gym socks.

@LazyCirclesEsq @iHeartHockey29 I meant that with most non-Tesla EVs you have appropriate control of your car. I have a Nissan Leaf, and it's just like a normal car, but electric. I won't find one morning that my car has been immobilised because I criticised Ian Nissan on Nisser the night before.
Gary on Religion@donkeyblam @atomicpoet I hear you. I want to see more tight knit communities, where the community is designed so people know each other, walkable communities.
Judy Anderson@donkeyblam @atomicpoet
So buy a Nissan Leaf or make a conversion yourself. We had the dumbest possible #electricvehicle in 1995, a home conversion of a VW rabbit. There's nothing inherent in an #EV that requires it to behave like a smartphone. That's just a choice some manufacturers have made.
(Disclosure: We currently own a Nissan Leaf and a Tesla. We bought the Tesla before the birdsite fiasco.)
@nosrednayduj @atomicpoet Absolutely want to see more people make custom EV conversions!
@donkeyblam @atomicpoet We're on our 4th and 5th EVs. I really got tired of driving a hobby and was pretty happy to have a commercial product from a real company when we got the #Leaf (which has been a GREAT car for us). (#2 and #3 were #Solectria Forces, which is a commercial company but only 400 were made.) Though #tesla service organization really leaves a lot to be desired.

Christine Munro 🧀@lancetay @atomicpoet Musk is like an older version of Bryce (thinking of the UK original, I don't recall the US series that well). Though I don't think he was as gifted as Bryce, technically *or* socially...
enmodo ⚛️ 🧬 🇺🇦 🍉@lancetay @atomicpoet that show always such in my mind but few Americans seem to have any knowledge of the Max Headroom origin story.
Be prepared for your FSD car to start playing you blipverts while you "drive".
Atoz 🍁@atomicpoet Don't give him any ideas!
@msatoz Even Elon is migrating to Mastodon? Wow!
@atomicpoet I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he's lurking around here somewhere...

@msatoz @atomicpoet
He has marked Mastodon and Instagram accounts as dangerous (flagged if you post a link on twitter)
He'll be trawling here (or having staff/bots do it for him).
Can imagine he will suspend your twitter accou t if you link to the publicly available flight information.

@FireyRoxy @msatoz Instagram as well? Do you have an example of this?
Silkester
@FireyRoxy @msatoz @atomicpoet you mean if you post the registration number of his Gulfstream jet with the tail number N628TS that I just looked up on Google? That jet? Joke’s on him. I ditched his dumb site days ago. 😂
@FireyRoxy @msatoz @atomicpoet at this rate he won’t have any members left in his echo chamber to ban.
@enmodo Nah, sometimes your enemy's enemy is just a cunt to everyone.

Ted Spence@atomicpoet I'm so glad that I didn't end up buying a Tesla. We got an electric Mini Cooper instead; it's an absolutely adorable car and perfect for driving around Seattle. The fact that no money went to Lone Skum is a bonus.
Jaakko Nissi@Tedspence @atomicpoet yep. We've got a 2011 Nissan Leaf and a 2021 VW ID.3. Not even looking at a Tesla and at this rate of crazy, never will.
Vehement Sack@atomicpoet There’s a Musk on the wing! I saw it!!!
Cyber Yuki@atomicpoet This is #cyberpunk as fuck - and unfortunately, it's the reality we live in.

@atomicpoet alternatively, it could be the absent CEO came back and gutted the rest of the developers that maintain the software to save 2.3 more billion so he could more thoroughly run his social media site another month without advertisers.
Asllop@atomicpoet sure there will be a way to hack it.
ProtectiveHen@atomicpoet 😂 SO on-target!
Rosieh@atomicpoet sounds like a storyline from #blackmirror
Paul H 🏴🇪🇺You read my mind - Neurolink?
@Henrysbridge @atomicpoet It was the nosedive episode https://screenrant.com/black-mirror-episodes-ranked-letterboxd/
MichaelH@atomicpoet Musky would do that out of spite, especially if you pointed out he'd broken his own platforms rules
Pezzle@atomicpoet Same with smart meters.
@atomicpoet Actually in China this is more or less already a reality and not just for yourself but for your family, too. It has been for a while.

What Life Under China's Social Credit System Could Be Like
Bornach@silkester @atomicpoet
Musk probably plans to include China's social credit feature in Twitter 2.0
He already envisages it becoming an "Everything App" along the lines of WeChat

chukk_beslowair@atomicpoet The car would be a managable problem. The real problem would be a stopping pacemaker.
Prof West Wing Chicken Shack@atomicpoet Given that they resell features already and originally sold with a car when it's sold as a used car, this is an entirely believable scenario for Tesla.

@atomicpoet I mean a lot of Chinese EVs have facial recognition technology, ostensibly for safety and getting your driving settings right.
@atomicpoet I’d rather not lol
David Vienna@atomicpoet This is a libertarian take… about a libertarian.
Viola@atomicpoet ich habe kein Auto 🤷🏼♀️
Dr. Christian DeFeo@atomicpoet This does push one in the Renault Zoe direction.
Sir Dr Rusty o the Isle 🖤💛❤️@atomicpoet there are many other brands of #EVs by more trusted auto makers
