Nothing is stopping you from looking at the Q3 2022 Autopilot vs Q3 2021 numbers, the others are nice for reference

LA Times reporter Russ Mitchell's entire career is mostly clickbait Tesla articles

maybe they followed the car from the airport?

They are obvious winner among EV cars based on sales.

doesnt patagonia have some repair/lifetime warranty? might be possible to save the old one

I think he constantly undersells compared to the CEOs and marketing dept of other companies talking about their products.

What happened to the poison pill strategy to keep him from buying it?

dealership network eats their margin, plus vw has to discount all of their own legacy sales they cannibalize

what about the people profiting off the complexity? and turbotax lobbying the government for more complexity?

Deeply cynical interpretation?

Musk never said you can't put trains in his tunnels. He happens to have a car company to help, but I bet if he had a train company sitting around they would develop something for the tunnels.

Boring company tunnels are wider than London subway tunnels.

UAW is corrupt, encouraging them is a bad idea. Unions are symptom of corporations where employees don't have enough equity. Also a symptom of incompetent governments. If you fix the government or give employees equity you don't need unions. Tesla aspires to give employees equity. There are many who became millionaires after joining tesla early and working the line.

"fuck it let's go" 5.6mph

So 12 for tesla and how many for other companies? Where is your data?

Sounds like BMW and Audi are disabling 3G too, and they have NO upgrade path for many cars.

Was it TACC or Autopilot or FSD or driver trying to blame someone else?

plenty of low paying silly and mind-numbing work out there too tho

Tesla has their own battery factories too, one is already live at Kato in California: https://spectrum.ieee.org/tesla-4680-battery

Tesla is also working with Panasonic and CATL to implement their own factories for 4680 cells and scale production.

they also inspire employees with an appealing vision of the future

probably trying to lure over some boston dynamics devs with dojo perf and toolchain speed

As this reddit post pointed out, this appears to be a common problem with radar TACC. https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/p5ekci/us_agen...

""" These events occur typically when a vehicle is partially in a lane and radar has to ignore a stationary object. This is pretty standard and inherent with TACC + radar.

The faster Tesla pushes the vision only stack to all cars after they’ve validated the data, the faster this topic becomes moot. Andrej Karpathy talks and shows examples of what that would do here. Minutes 23:00-28:00 https://youtu.be/a510m7s_SVI

Older examples from manuals of other TACC systems which use radar:

Volvo’s Pilot Assist regarding AEB/TACC.

According to Wired, Volvo’s Pilot Assist system is much the same. The vehicles’ manual explains that not only will the car fail to brake for a sudden stationary object, it may actually race toward it to regain its set speed:

“Pilot Assist will ignore the stationary vehicle and instead accelerate to the stored speed. The driver must then intervene and apply the brakes.”

Cadillac Super Cruise - Page 252

Stationary or Very Slow-Moving Objects

ACC may not detect and react to stopped or slow-moving vehicles ahead of you. For example, the system may not brake for a vehicle it has never detected moving. This can occur in stop-and-go traffic or when a vehicle suddenly appears due to a vehicle ahead changing lanes. Your vehicle may not stop and could cause a crash. Use caution when using ACC. Your complete attention is always required while driving and you should be ready to take action and apply the brakes.

BMW Driving Assistant Plus - Page 124

A warning may not be issued when approaching a stationary or very slow-moving obstacle. You must react yourself; otherwise, there is the danger of an accident occurring.

If a vehicle ahead of you unexpectedly moves into another lane from behind a stopped vehicle, you yourself must react, as the system does not react to stopped vehicles. """
