At first I had questions like "well is the wear on the tire standard curb rash" and "what kind of dent on the bumper are we talking about," then I remembered it's a Tesla and of course those have nothing to do with the actual issue. At this point I don't think I can feel any sympathy when someone buys a Tesla and this happens. For most people purchasing a new car is a big deal financially, and you'd hope they'd do at least the bare minimum of due diligence. Once you start talking about $80k spent on one of the ugliest SUVs in the world, I kind of hope the car just burns down and they didn't have comprehensive.

I still cannot wrap my head around the fact that they removed tactile operation for 99% of functions I assume the true reason is because with hardware it's a fuckload harder to obsfucate fail conditions that occur due to design negligence than in software, and you don't have to worry about pesky things like "build quality" or "safety factors"

fewer moving parts means less to break, and given tesla's build quality, this seems like a good thing for them, considering they already have the industry's highest rate of warranty issues just don't ask what happens when the touchscreen inevitably breaks (they blame it on you and say it's out of warranty and have fun spending thousands of dollars replacing it after you wait months for the parts to come)

they dont care about fewer UI elements breaking. they care about pushing monkeycheese gimmicks to the dash. thats it. its incredibly hard to charge people $299 and update a physical a/c switch to play fart noises when you put it on recirculate

german courts seem to love smacking down american tech companies seeking to "disrupt" the market - see also banning uber, berlin making airbnb illegal, forcing twitter and facebook to hide hate speech from german users, preventing some of google's mapping projects in germany. and honestly they've been right every time

BobHoward posted:you're thinking too hard and confusing cause and effect This makes a lot of sense. When I designing a UI for equipment I'm designing, the question I ask is "what will allow this to operate safely, intuitively, and with as little chance of breaking as possible over its intended useful life". Looks like the question Telsa is asking is "how can I make this feel like driving in DA FYOOCHORE"

evil_bunnY posted:it's this. it's far fewer tools to make and maintain, and far fewer byzantine failure modes to investigate as tools age. On an assembly line it's fewer pieces to put together. Reliable, 200-pound-gorilla rate switchgear isn't easy/cheap. remember his cars don't even have a speedo, let alone other instruments, in front of the driver, something you could trivially implement with another screen, because musk hates "clutter" and so everything has to be on one big screen. i bet if you could actually look into his brain (shudder) he probably thinks that soon his cars won't even need the wheel and pedals, so why bother with any other controls? (actually i'm legit surprised that he hasn't tried to revive the various joystick control schemes that people tried through the years, i assume he definitely would have if there weren't laws requiring mechanical steering to be possible in the event of power failure)

I mean, I guess I get it. The pyramids were built to exacting tolerances and Tesla can't even line up two door panels. Therefore aliens must have built it.

one of my favorite things about classical architecture is the greeks and romans used to just try building poo poo different ways without any kind of plan [actually this went on well into the middle ages in europe] and a lot of it just straight up fell down so we're left with winner's bias for classical building design and dumb racists think they were master builders because all they can see is the stuff that lasted [they also think the greeks and romans were white, which, lol]

"But you don't understand, those granite slabs are perfectly smooth. They simply didn't have the tools to do that. It's impossible given their technology" from an actual argument with my father. Not just the Egyptians though, he told me he also thought aliens helped build Noah's ark. I couldn't bring myself to go anywhere near that one.  He raised me smarter than that, and while he's always been one for conspiracy theories it's gone insane in his later years. I'm honestly afraid it's a sign of oncoming dementia. I also wonder if I didn't have higher education if I'd be just as much going down the rabbit hole.

It's like there is a critical flaw in being able to vet sources. Man with PhD is equally valid in theories as man who talks on TV. I mean they wouldn't let the man on TV if he was full of poo poo. Replace TV with Twitter and you have our current state of society.

the idea that they just had thousands of dudes whose whole lives were spent making perfectly square blocks of stone and they got beaten or starved if they messed up and a giant block with a missing corner got carved down probably doesn't naturally occur to modern people because it's kind of a ridiculous image
