Twitter Death CultSteering 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
I assume they found out about their (lack of) unemployment benefits tho
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."
I'm excited for the casting on what will be a theranos/the dropout season 2. someone suggested kathy bates could play lonny
"I didn't use government money! I used money from my dad's apartheid emerald mine!"
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
lol what is this
"groimes sombaddy drapped a loight saba in me truck, loike the stah wahs"
i feel like seatbelts are one of those things that have like, standards, and you can't just "make them weaker" because you think it's fine, but i'm not a carologist
Deckard in Blade Runner murders several four year olds, much like Tesla cars
Actually Musk is such a genius that he's found a way around the laws of thermodynamics
lmao it's mom from Futurama, complete with idiot sons
"shut up, kimbal! mom knows I'm the smart one!"
"Oh, you don't want me to talk about where the bodies are buried during this press conference? Do tell."

Still waiting for someone to dig into the Tesla/Hertz deal, when Hertz reported their deliveries none of it made sense, none of their pushing Teslas onto Uber drivers as long term rentals makes sense, a fuckton of Tesla 3s Hertz rentals are being used as rideshares rented by their drivers in my city, like, if you order a Comfort (The only thing worth getting as an Uber these days, a regular Uber is probably going to be dirty and barely street legal), it's most likely going to be a rented Tesla 3
Good way to make sure that Tesla sales in Iceland grind to a freezing halt
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!
White South African guys have decided to create their own towns in the past and lemme tell you, they aren't very accepting places
earnings miss. can't even hit their own fake numbers
Musk says Tesla will put sales growth ahead of profit
Tesla Inc <a href="https://www.reuters.com/companies/TSLA.O" target="_blank">(TSLA.O)</a> boss Elon Musk on Wednesday doubled down on the price war he started at the end of last year, saying the electric vehicle (EV) maker would prioritize sales growth ahead of profit in a weak economy.
$60k+ cybrtruks rusting at the factory like some 1960s american land barge
Sure love when my car shuts off on the highway
I’ve never looked real hard at the Tesla UI but it seems fucking weird for a car to have like a notification icon with an incredibly important information about stuff like traction control. Like I gotta tap a bell icon, while driving on the highway, to be told this?
pretty long letter but she makes a good point... unfortunately if anyone took board member independence and conflicts of interest seriously pretty much every company would be in trouble
I assume he's already posted something extremely sexist about this
Is your Tesla covered in blood, organs, and mangled stroller parts? Good news, now they all wipe right off!
This is extra funny because the Tesla board just settled a lawsuit in which they're giving 700 million in excess compensation back to Tesla
Just casually siphoning off 3/4 of a billion
he's doing the seo poisoning thing again. the feds opened up another investigation into fsd and autopilot today
Love when the accelerator on my 2 year old car snaps due to the shittiest cheapest most-profitable composite materials the manufacturer could afford.
Remember when they were going to cast whole frames?
This backfired hard in China because people had been waiting for a couple of years for their cars to be delivered and then prices were dropped for new orders and they wouldn't lower the cost of the cars that were already on order but hadn't been manufactured yet
what if we ran a wolf-of-wallstreet trading floor, but instead it was denying customer service?
this thing is hitting the news, so expect elon to come up with a massive diversion any moment

Stoney Takes@cspam @MaxPow3r11 No EV has the range promised. It’s a regulatory issue. Gas cars have to list Hwy and City avg MPG. EV’s should absolutely be required to do this. They are not. The EV shortcomings mostly come down to the regulatory agencies allowing them to run amok. Proprietary plugs to rosy range estimates. All failures of logical regulation
💐 🏖 🌺 𝕂𝕚𝕂𝕚@Stoneycase @cspam @MaxPow3r11 According to many reports (journalists), the Porsche Taycan consistently exceeds its (admittedly modest) advertised range.
I’ve read several articles on the topic, but this one will have to do for now.
@ZeKik @cspam @MaxPow3r11 Thank you, that is good to know! Clearly, I stand corrected. To be honest, I have never even glanced at that price range, lol. Will read the article.
@ZeKik @cspam @MaxPow3r11 A Rivian truck owner told me he can get all of his range if he sets his cruise control to 60 mph and does not exceed that. Iirc, Tesla has a similar technology
