And also, who doesn't want hundreds to thousand of miles put against your warranty.

Assuming there is any reality to this (big assumption), I assume you are looking at the distance to the nearest distribution center (so Tesla "Not a dealership for legal reasons"). So a lot closer to hundred than not.

Mostly because Factory->House requires a lot of automated charging technology. Whereas Factory->Truck->Dealership->House still lets them take advantage of scale (a truck truck) and can go on a single battery charge.

The shortest distance between Tesla and your house is a full circle around the country.

[–] 50MYT@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Also at the odometer rate of Tesla Miles, where the warranty runs out faster.

Is that a threat?

Tesla will begin its roll out of its self-driving Robotaxi fleet in multiple US cities in the months to come, already taking appropriate regulatory steps in both California and Texas.

Anyone want to take bets on how many deaths/injuries will there be before they're pulled?

Infinite is valid all things considered.

DOGE will make sure it won't be pulled. They'll shut down any administration that tries.

This LiDAR tech vs Tesla video makes me wish Tesla will use LiDAR in their self-driving Robotaxi fleet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQJL3htsDyQ&t=556s

This is such obvious BS. Putting aside that Tesla are always making claims about self driving that they can't deliver on, let's just consider the basic logistics of doing this for any customer who lives more than about 300km from a Tesla factory (of which there are two IIRC, and one of those is in Austin and the other is in Fremont)...

How the fuck is the car going to recharge?

It's not like it's going to plug itself in, and there are no staff at Tesla supercharger stations as far as I'm aware. With the range on a typical Model S even getting to LA might be tough if it gets stuck in traffic. Fremont to LA is just under 600km if you're lucky.

He forgot to give us the point values...

Ran Over... Reward Points...
Child 20
Cat 10
Dog 15
Adult 25

I wonder what they'll offer in the Tesla rewards shop

[–] axh@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)
Run over Reward
CEO - 100000 points

Edit: updated into a table to clarify that I meant MINUS 100000 points, Life of one CEO is much more important to (f)Elon than lifes of us peasants.

[–] madame_gaymes@programming.dev 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Nah, Teslas will set themselves on fire with a family inside before it allows something like that to happen.

Jokes on him I’m never getting one

[–] tanpopopper@sh.itjust.works 4 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Soon the only ones buying Teslas will be factory workers that are forced to in order to keep their jobs. The basically live on the factory floor, so it's a pretty easy promise to fulfill.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 6 points 22 hours ago

If they even try that it will look like that car chase scene from The Blues Brothers.
