The only thing right now that I need my Android phone for is Duo Mobile authentication to log into my work computer.

I unfortunately have to upvote this.

Or public transit on a track.

Personally I don't find it hard to put stickers on things because I am worried about being silly, but I find defacing an otherwise clean object difficult. Like getting a brand new car or phone and trying very hard not to get a scratch. Once the first scratch is there you stop worrying about it.

Once you put down the first sticker I imagine that worry goes away. I think getting a tattoo is still an insurmountable problem for me personally, but I get it.

Google search and Youtube search used to almost always get you what you were looking for. Now you have to fight with it to maybe get what you are looking for because of all the sponsored ads.

Search used to be a nearly solved problem.

I don't know, but I can see why some people might think so.

The state should be auditing them prior to using them to see that they work as expected.

But besides self driving I don't agree with the softwareization of cars. Maybe if Tesla made cars in a more traditional way, but they were EVs I would consider them a real option. The single giant screen without any tactile buttons feels cheap and I'm sure is just about cost saving. The whole cybertruck teardown makes it look like the vehicle wasn't well thought out.

Basically everything about Tesla as a company from its actual cars to its CEO which is supposedly leading it does not inspire confidence. When there are so many other well established car companies that take it far more seriously I don't even take Tesla seriously enough as an option to care about their crash test results.

So I don't think there was actually malicious intent and asking people to stop will probably work.

But really this is just pointless semantics. It doesn't matter what it is called it is still a problem.

Personally I would even prefer anything that allows for a Youtube alternative to do better.

If not for the uncertainty around the extremely inflated Tesla stock price due to the lies he has told he would have been ousted years ago. He has no tangible vision of the future and no expertise in anything.

Elon is not just a PR department away from being seen as an acceptable person. He did a Nazi salute for the world to see and most of the world finds him contemptible.

Also the only way manual driving diminishes is if the world invests more into public transportation.

The only thing they have left is the car and they are falling farther and farther behind.
