Blew the whole budget on the Tesla, didn't have any money left over for sand XD

You're also starting fights over on another thread of mine so... I guess this scratches some itch for you!

Boss, you do you. Call me if you need a tow.

That's part of the story (though, why did Tesla ship a luxury truck with such trash tires?). Weight is a actually good thing in light snow. If you have low traction, you can actually add weight to the truck bed to get better traction. Folks in my neck the woods put sandbags and stuff in their beds to do exactly that.

Keep your eyes on what the tires are doing in the video. See how they're rolling at all the wrong times, and then locking up at all the wrong times? That's an electronic system failing, that's probably the Automatic Traction Control, and evidently it doesn't know what the fuck to do with snow.

We strive for accuracy here at FuelArc News XD If the story is simple enough, we sometimes even achieve it!

Gentrified forest is the most cursed phrase I heard in a minute.

Just announcing a follow-up self-driving system on their first really pretty bad system has them on an escape trajectory with their stock price.

I'm starting to think Tesla set all the wrong examples for the auto industry.

Can't deny any of that.

Have I mentioned, I'm broadly surprised by how reasonable the conversations are here versus Reddit? Thanks for that, I think I misunderstood your initial comment

They show a still photo in the video, where the engineer comments on that. He highlights the wrinkles in the wall image, imperfections and shadows that a human can see. The way he told it, it was hard to miss to a human

Haha, well, that shows my reading comprehension level!

I know him!!! He featured heavily in that one Walter Isaacson biography, The Codebreaker. About Dr. Doudna of course.

Did he get his PHD? Well, good on him. I see China has a better anti-recidivism program than the USA has. Last I heard, he was doing hard time in Chinese prison for mad scientist stuff.
