It looks like the same thing except without the screw in the first picture. I assume the dumbfuck unscrewed it off because nobody is gonna tell me how I use my CYBERTRUCK.

Except in this one, the rivet missed the pedal cover because it already has slipped free of the glue.

how do we know the bolt is a actually bolted in? or how long it is? like my current cheap POS office chair has this one loose screw thats the short as hell and barely threads into where it keeps getting loose from.

If that DuckDuckGo person is still looking at this thread: I was just searching some information about a specific type of cactus. The beta LLM summary thing popped up, I clicked it, and it proceeded to give me inaccurate information pulled from the general cactus Wikipedia article. Also while this isn't really DDG's fault, most of the first page of results was also LLM slop (here's a hint, if I'm searching for information about a cactus species whose entire habitat is on protected land, that only thrives in extremely specific conditions, you probably shouldn't make up an article about how I should care for it in my home). It did not prove helpful in any way and just irritated me even more than the average search experience.

This is the thing that blows my mind. You could get so many better options for a $100k "look at my money" car. You can get a loving Porsche Taycan for less if you still want an EV for slightly less than a top of the line Tesla S Plaid (finding an actual price is annoying because they won't really commit to a real price by handwaving "gas savings" and tax credits, which is almost certainly against sticker price laws, but they're around 100k). The Macan is $78k if you need an EV SUV.

BMW's EV offerings start at $50k, same with Mercedes. I just don't get it. The reality distortion field around Tesla is too strong. Thankfully that seems to be breaking.

Apparently you can't wash the Cybertruck without putting it into a special car wash mode, which makes no sense because "rain" is a thing that exists. The most nightmare thing is that it takes five hours to reboot the car. Yes you read right: five. It takes five hours to reboot the car lol and lmao.

A call with Tesla confirmed that the truck had needed a complete reboot which took over five hours of sitting to complete. From the moment he’d initiated the reboot method of holding down two steering wheel buttons, the truck was apparently working on a reboot until some time in the middle of the night.

I bet the 'reboot' was actually the car calling home and some henchman of Elon going through error reports and disabling the warnings one by one.

To go actually off-roading on an EV would be a very good idea. Just one dent from a rock or stump to the battery and your $100k car now only has scrap or heat value.

Still here :) Would you mind telling me what your query was? We're trying to keep track of these sorts of issues.

The issue with LLM-generated SEO poo poo is bothering me too. I don't think we have any specific recourse beyond reporting it to Microsoft. I have to imagine all of the search engines are dealing with this - I haven't tried any others to confirm, but it seems existential to get it under control.

I think it depends on what, explicitly, is in the warranty. That said, I would argue that "Can be driven in weather" would fall under the implied warranty of usability, but IANAL.

I was trying to learn more about this cactus native to the Galápagos islands, specifically the symbiosis with fungi around their root systems. I don't remember the exact query I used, but the summary would only talk about how cacti generally photosynthesize through their stems, which is neat but not what I was actually trying to find information about.

anime is not good

i've handled hairier roads in my nissan versa doing power pole pre-construction surveys

as a land manager for years now, the number of times i've absolutely needed a 4 wheel drive high clearance vehicle for access somewhere i can still count on 1 hand, and during those conditions members of the public would be banned anyway. but i guess my parks get a bunch of revenue from car companies filming commercials on our trails, all selling the myth that the public needs monster trucks to experience the outdoors, so i don't have much room to complain

If Tesla cared about laws the company probably wouldn't exist at this point. The Cyberfuck sure as hell wouldn't.

Yeah the thing with all the fuckery involving Tesla cars and trucks is that somebody has to take them to court over it, they aren't the kind of laws that have people enforcing them, and Elon stans are obviously not going to take Tesla motors to court over their warranty being invalidated, they're going to smile and buy a new cybertruck. Also Tesla can afford much better lawyers than you so you'd have to go class action, and again, Elon stans.
