Cojawfee posted:Elon smoked a doobie with Joe Rogan so he's legally not allowed to really run SpaceX because they do government contracts. So he can do things like this, but I don't think he has as much power to poo poo it up like he does with Tesla. Interesting factoid, never considered that before. Usually I'm on the Elon Hate Crew but Boeing has hosed up more than SpaceX which is truly impressive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Starliner

I don't remember if it's been mentioned here or not, but the rear doors on the Tesla Model 3 do not have a manual means to open if the car loses power. I hope to god nobody gets caught in the backseat during a battery fire. It's not like that's a new concern either, they had manual door handles for all the seats on the previous models and for the front seats of the Model 3. gently caress Tesla, and the best thing that ever happened to SpaceX was Musk becoming an FAA liability on stream ^^Also extremely gently caress Boeing in general^^ EvenWorseOpinions fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Dec 10, 2020 |

I was pretty sure they do, it's just unmarked and you just have to partially dismantle the door to get at it

No, the Model 3 has no way of opening the rear doors in a power loss situation. All Teslas have electronic switches to pop the door latch rather than a mechanical connection to the handle, so in general the doors cannot be opened without power. In the front seats of the car, you can yank the handle further than it normally goes, past a soft stop, and the door will be mechanically forced open. Tesla recommends that you do not do this except in case of emergency because it can break the windows. In the rear of the Model S, there is a cable hidden under the floor mats. You lift up the carpet and fold it back and pull on that and the rear doors will open. In the rear of the Model X, the cable is hidden inside the door. You pry off the speaker grille and reach inside and find the cable and pull that and it releases the latch, then you lift the door over your head to get out (it weighs roughly 80lb). In the rear of the Model 3 and Model Y, you're stuck. There are no secret cables. You break a window or crawl out through the front.

Out of curiosity: why? What advantages does it bring to not just use the same system every car in the past 30 years has done, with an extra little motor doodad to open it via electronics? We know it's neither bulky nor expensive to do it the traditional way.

Elon really wanted the car to have flush door handles that pop out automatically when you walk up.

Probably a good time to note that the goal of Starship is to literally replace airplanes. (As well as landing on and traveling to every solid body in the solar system.). Part of the reason for this is that this is the only way they can fly enough to reach their target price per flight, needing multiple launches per week to reach the revolutionary low prices and there still aren’t enough payloads to fly into space that would need such incredible frequency. Not even Starlink alone is enough to get there. Musk fans also like to assume that it will replace most other countries’ rockets as well due to cheapness, and add those in as well.

He comes from a family that used slave labor to get rich. He's an ideas man that sits on the shoulders of those that actually know wtf they're making and takes all the credit. He's another turbo rich piece of poo poo that gives nothing of value to society while his company runs even more unsafe factory operations. That's the short list. E: the sad thing is there are a majority of people that suck his rear end and think he's the second coming and can do no wrong

Musk’s dad was an apartheid era emerald mine magnate that fled to the usa with his family and wealth to avoid any type of reconciliation. Musk is nothing more than Donald Trump. He’s a huckster that grew up fabulously wealthy at the expense of some of the worst state sanctioned modern human rights abuses and has lucked his way into his positions now. His entire “persona” is careful made to present him as some supergenius, but he’s just another rich guy selling bullshit to get richer.

I mean, other than that there's a bit of a cultish hero-worship of him more broadly on the internet? I think a big part is that he's the ur-techbro, typifying everything wrong about techbros. Nominally progressive but actually busily "disrupting" workers' rights while vomiting out diatribes in Twitter about establishing his own personal authoritarian dystopia on Mars. Not actually particularly skilled, but Dunning-Kreugered enough to think that he can solve any problem. Also Tesla is something of a menace to society - they're the deadliest cars on the road, but keep fudging figures to give their customers a false sense of security. (See above about how they can become death traps for the passengers if the power ever fails.)

Phone posting but wanted to add that Tesla has stupid high workers comp cases bc musk wants to reinvent the wheel at every opportunity. Just one example is the Tesla factories just now installed pits on the assembly line to keep employees from having to bend over all day. Even the quick change lube places are aware of pit existence but bc musk is convinced he’s the smartest most wonderful guy ever he has to learn everything the hard way

Much like Trump he's one of the few people in the world who has no redeeming qualities. Nothing nice can be said about him, and he spends most of his time actively making the world a worse place for everyone. Plus all his sycophantic fans combined with the most lazy regulators (Traffic, space and financial regulators) on earth makes him insufferably full of himself.

Remember the time Grimes invited over Azalea Banks and instead of hanging out or doing anything together musk and grimes ghosted her. The best theory I’ve heard is musk heard azalea and thought grimes meant iggy.

OSHA relevant:quote:Among the more baffling details in the report are several sections about how Elon Musk’s personal tastes appear to have affected the factory’s safety for the worse, “his preferences … were well known and led to cutting back on those standard safety signals.” Musk, apparently, really hates the color yellow. So instead of using the aforementioned hue, lane lines on the factory floor are painted in shades of gray. (Tesla denies this and sent Reveal photos of “rails and posts” painted yellow in the factory.) He also is not into having “too many signs” or the beeping sound forklifts make in reverse. All things that would seem, uh, important to keeping staff safe. “It’s just a matter of time before somebody gets killed,” a former safety lead said of the conditions in the factory. One employee attempted to call attention to these problems before eventually resigning:

By modern standards, Victorians were pretty morbid and there was a phase where fear of premature burial was rampant. This isn't the only such invention to capitalize it, though I am not sure there were any actual installations of such devices.
