if you were wondering how things are going over at tesla, hoo boy they're going swimmingly
I don't know whether it is sad or funny that the guy who posted Tesla self driving fucking up and made the news still owns a Tesla, but Tesla has blackballed him from receiving repairs to his Tesla.
Imagine posting "my shitbox civic broke down again" on Instagram and having the CEO of Honda turn up and have a meltdown on your doorstep.
I hope this will not impact Tesla's ability to sell carbon credits
Steering wheel fell off, just normal car things. But we’ll buy back your car (which has nothing wrong with it anyways
they are gonna pay him aren’t they

I am sure the NLRB will take it very seriously and may even tut-tut musk, maybe even strongly
just another software update "recall"
apparently it just disables the rolling-stop feature
now they just need to disable the "hits curbs in the snow", "hits stationary objects at highway speeds", and "runs over children" features
Eberhard, who Musk ousted as CEO of Tesla in 2007, said creating software for the electric cars to drive themselves was the least of his concerns when he was at Tesla.
"So, keep in mind that all this FSD autonomous, autopilot crap — none of that existed when I was there," he said. "We were still busy trying to make the car work and we never thought about that at all. That came later. That requires a much, much bigger budget than we had."
this shit has a long way to drop, but if his song and dance press event is no longer wowing rubes, it might even happen
and all it took was him pissing off the business and tech press by running twitter into the ground

"groimes sombaddy drapped a loight saba in me truck, loike the stah wahs"

"shut up, kimbal! mom knows I'm the smart one!"

Nothing a simple over-the-air update can't fix, I'm sure
Dude is trying to start a cult or slave colony or both
JONES-TOWN! JONES-TOWN! JONES-TOWN!
Well, we're living here in ElonTown
And he's closing all the factories down
Out in Boca, they're killing birds
Ignoring norms, launching real turds
Well, our fathers fought the First Forum Wars
Spent their weekends watching Jersey Shore
Met our mothers on the ICQ
Asked her to chat, she had nothing to do
And we're living here in ElonTown
But some random shit gets handed down
And it's getting very hard to stay
Well, we're waiting here in ElonTown
For the Nueralink we never found
For the promises our leader gave
If we loved car, if we prepaid
So the reservations hang on the wall
But they never really helped us at all
No, the Cybertruck was never real
Cars missing parts, no steering wheels
And we're waiting here in ElonTown
But he's taken with the new tweet he found
And the union people got led away
Every child had a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as their old man got
But something happened on the way to that place
Car AI, fire a truck through our face
Whoa-oh-oh
Well, I'm living here in ElonTown
And it's hard to keep a good man down
But I won't be getting up today
And it's getting very hard to stay
And we're living here in ElonTown

This is just a clever way to extend the semi's range
it reports all your driving info to your insurance company
wonder what the venn diagram of 'people who are defending this' vs. 'people who think 15 minute cities are a WEF plot to micromanage your life' looks like
