It's so frustrating that something anybody even only peripherally aware of attempts to automate driving knew for years is only slowly coming out while the Apartheid Edgelord gets richer and richer from his lethal lies.

As a coda: Tesla Drivers Upset That Government Wants Their Cars to Be Safer

“Got to love government always making things less enjoyable,” tweeted a disappointed customer on Wednesday.

Apparently driving on misplaced faith that kills people is enjoyable. Tesla is a cult, not a car company.

This was funny tho

Particularly peeved was a man who tweeted: “So now it will become more of a nag. Between it and my wife I almost can’t use it. I will be stepping up my nagging defeat efforts. Been using [Autopilot] since 2015. I don’t need more nagging!”

I do not feel sorry for him.

Damn. Dudes choosing Musk over his wife.

[-] sugartits@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

To be fair, his wife made him pay for WinRAR...

[-] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

I paid for WinRAR. It's useful and does exactly what it purports to. Tesla's autopilot on the other hand...

[-] shasta@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

But you could get 7zip for free

[-] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

You can get WinRar for free also. You're missing the point

[-] shasta@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago

I think you're missing the point. Why would you pay for something (even when it's optional with a donation) when there is a better product that is free and open source and doesn't beg you to donate?

All the chucklefucks that think musk isn't just a dull normal are cultists.

I believe this is big money after asking my friend if they were affected by this recall in Canada. She says no, as she didn't pay the extra $10,000cdn for the autopilot option on her Model 3.

So is the math $10,000 x 2 million units that have the option? If so no wonder why he was able to buy Twitter...

IIRC, and they may have changed this practice (feel free to correct me Tesla fanboys), all cars ship with the autopilot hardware, wouldn't be shocked if they're all considered affected.

[-] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago

Why is the stock up though on recall news?

[-] Elshender@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago

Teslas stock has always been a bit fucky. Their market cap (total value of all their shares) is greater than Toyota, Volkswagen, Daimler, Ford, and GM combined. It's crazy inflated imo.

[-] brlemworld@lemmy.world -4 points 11 months ago

Autopilot/FSD is such a tiny part of the business. The "recall" costs basically nothing to rectify.

[-] yesman@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Fixing a flaw that's killed people isn't trivial just bc it's a software update. One day soon, Tesla's stock is going to get an OTA correction.
