  • Weirdly, no XD

    Waymo is an Alphabet... bet?

    Alphabet: -7% YoY Tesla: +74% YoY

    The brownshirt fanboys are an underestimated financial market force. Throw official corruption into the mix. And why not untraceable crypto money from god-knows-who, because the 4d chess board was just too simple without it.

  • It's Twitter, because otherwise the language makes no damn sense.

    What do you do on Twitter? You tweet your thoughts, as individual tweets.

    Like, I don't call it X, because the branding has no internal logic, I don't know the words for how to refer to things on X.

    Like, what would I do on X? I would X my thoughts as individual Xes? Axises? God, can't say Axis on Twitter, you'll get FAR too many neonazis liking your Axises. And if I want to close the window for X? I'll click on the X in the top right hand corner of X -- fuck, it's so confusing!

    What the fuck -- they took the most recognizable short-form blogging language on earth, branding so ubiquitous that everyone intuitively understood it and used it reflexively, and rebranded it into a pile of internally inconsistent shit.

  • Aw jeez, did you copy/paste this message onto every board where this story got posted? XD

    Also... wait, I recognize your name. You're a Mod on the SpaceX board, aren't you? I thought you said you weren't a fan of Musk?

  • Edit: Aren't you a mod on the SpaceX board? I'm not sure I trust you when you say you're "not a fan of Tesla or Musk" considering you run a fan club for one of Musk's companies XD

    I'm the automotive equivalent of a muckraker, so yeah, Tesla does enough weird stuff that I talk about them a lot. They're hardly the ONLY news I cover.

    Take this article, for instance, it was on the front page of Hacker News for a couple days, got decent circulation in European automotive magazines, too: https://fuelarc.com/tech/pop-up-ads-in-your-jeep-the-latest-stellantis-innovation/

    Believe what you like, but the videos in that article are just videos, it's not like those aren't first-hand driving footage just because you dislike where you found them.

  • That part really pissed me off.

    I think folks see it for what it is. Sales are cratering, public spaces that are not twitter are increasingly intolerant of the Tesla fanboys glazing the supposed tech advantage ( that we can see with our own eyes is not real )

  • I covered that crash.

    FSD is never enabled at the moment of impact, because FSD shuts off less than a second before impact, so that Tesla's lawyers and most loyal fans can make exactly the arguments you are making. Torque would be applied to the steering wheel when any vehicle departs the roadway, as the driver is thrown around like a ragdoll as they clutch the wheel. Depending on the car, torque can also be applied externally to the tires by rough terrain to shift the steering wheel.

    No evidence to suggest the driver was distracted. Prove me wrong if you have that evidence.

  • NYC Mayoral candidate Mamdani is talking about making busses free, and that makes a radical shitload of sense.

    Free autotaxis would be a boon for productivity and personal freedom, like AI promises to be but democratized for everybody rather than just the richest fraction of a percent.

    So naturally they started with 5 employees in the smallest office of one of the smallest divisions of the NHTSA. Nooooo ulterior motive, nosiree
