「 It's a baffling development, considering the current state the carmaker finds itself in. Sales continue to tank across the world, largely the result of Musk's own actions and his infamous embrace of far-right ideologies that have alienated vast swathes of former customers and fans 」

⚖️ Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash • Electrek

「 Within about three minutes of the crash, the Model S uploaded a “collision snapshot”—video, CAN‑bus streams, EDR data, etc.—to Tesla’s servers, the “Mothership”, and received an acknowledgement. The vehicle then deleted its local copy, resulting in Tesla being the only entity having access 」

The most boring and generic car you could possibly own around where I live is a white Tesla. I've noticed lately just how many of them there are. I sometimes see several of them in a row.

I just went to the paint store, a 13 km round trip, and I counted 10 of them. Including 3 in the parking lot by the store which had 20-25 cars in it. 😁

I love Jason Fenske’s videos, and I respect him as an engineer and reviewer. But his turning against #Elon and selling his #Tesla Model 3 only after DOGE fired his wife smacks of “it’s not a bad thing until it’s a bad thing that happens to ME.” Elon has been doing really awful things for a long time, just not to the people he cared about.

Having said that, better late than never! Welcome to the resistance, Jason. It’s nice here. We have cookies.
