Some of these Musk fanbros are such fucking losers, they'd demand do-overs after losing a game of Monopoly with their own kids.

Tesla's Self-Driving Mode Causes It to Get Hit by Train

I suppose if one is dunderheaded enough to buy one of those infernal contraptions, one is dumb enough to use the self-driving mode despite acres of bad press for it.

Very misleading. Most Teslas only total themselves once.

Sigh. As of today anyway, evernote does not recognize my free login and wants a c/c number to establish it.

I'm sure this move will help save the brand and get sales ticking up again.

We can presumably expect reports of the vehicles crashing because they've made sudden and random hard right turns.

This appears to be more an issue of the tariff wars right now, but I guess we can in small part blame Musk for that, as well.

Tesla Makes a Desperate Move in Canada as Sales Collapse

Caught between a collapse in sales and punishing tariffs, the automaker is making a dramatic pivot, creating a bizarre pricing situation and leaving recent buyers with a serious case of regret.

We Are Having a Very Hard Time Believing the "Shape" of Tesla's New Robotaxi Geofence Is a Coincidence

Tesla has expanded the area where its Robotaxis can operate in Austin, and it appears to be shaped like something provocative.

Needless to say, the geofence layout resembles a penis. Of COURSE IT DOES.

Needless to say, the geofence layout resembles a penis. Of COURSE IT DOES.

Even more alarming is that the -- um --- service area shape -- seems to cover the downtown Austin area.

A large part of that area is permanently drunk. I think it might be a zoning ordinance or something. Not just any drunk, either; Texas drunk.

Surprise, surprise. Not really.

In Court for Fatal Crash, Tesla Admits It Wasn't Even Tracking Autopilot Crashes for the First Three Years of the Program

A Tesla engineer has admitted that the company did not keep records on Autopilot crashes for its first three years deployed.

futurism.com

As Law360 reports, an engineer at Elon Musk's car company revealed during a wrongful death trial this week that until 2018, the company didn't even keep records of Autopilot crashes — even though the assisted driving feature had been rolled out three years prior.

In a taped deposition shown to jurors in the federal case against Tesla, which stems from a wrongful death lawsuit involving a young woman who was killed by a distracted driver who'd been using Autopilot, software engineer Akshay Phatak admitted that keeping such records was not part of the company's early compliance practices.
