Why don't you start with a chimp, buddy, and work your way up from there? e: I'm not even sure what point they are trying to make. That Tesla will detect that it's a fake kid and therefore try to intentionally run it down? GABA ghoul fucked around with this message at 15:07 on Aug 11, 2022 |

maybe the Tesla collision detection system works like those homeopathic bomb detectors and you have to rub a child against the sensors for a while to train it

Several companies who started much later than they did are already ahead of them in terms of delivered & in the wild ALKS and ADAS, they just don't call it "autopilot" or "full self driving". Will someone please think of Tesla's feelings??

Durzel posted:The thread is indeed wild. The guy keeps talking as if Tesla is the only company in the world who can deliver this kind of tech, so their integrity must be defended at all costs. Musk cut RADAR/LIDAR out of Teslas to save costs and called it a revolutionary feature because he has super coders that will solve everything with regular video cameras. They haven't. Tesla's self-driving and safety now sucks rear end compared to their rivals and they are basically stagnant with no progress until they develop this super image software AI that doesn't exist.

Looking for a small child to do experiments with in Bay area. Child will be unharmed and an adult will be present during the experiments at all time. No fat or tall children (this is important!). Parents will be compensated for any damages caused. Serious replies only!

StrangersInTheNight posted:It won't, it's already synonymous with luxury as a brand, which is all you really need for rich people to keep buying it. I actually have a Tesla Model 3, and paid extra for the FSD option, I bought in to the hype and promises when I bought it in 2020. Practically none of it has been realised, and as is de rigueur things that were promised as "coming later this year" never did. The build quality and paint is suspect, by far the worst of any car I've owned. I've been told by the detailer guy that I use for everything that it is "one of the better ones", which is damning with faint praise. Practically all of the driver convenience stuff you expect in modern cars at this price point, or even substantially less, is either completely missing or doesn't work. Auto headlights is not fit for purpose, the car can't "see" distant rear lights, is glacial at turning off for oncoming cars - if it turns off at all, doesn't turn off in higher ambient light areas, and turns off at reflections from street signs. Auto wipers are a lottery, thanks to Musk's ~vision~ of getting rid of the $5 Bosch rain sensor used on older Teslas and reinventing the wheel with cameras and AI. This wouldn't be so bad if it even reached parity with the aforementioned sensor, but it doesn't. As a camera based system it naturally fails in low light situations, and often completely fails to tune the wiper speed to the prevailing conditions. It has dry wiped the screen on more than one occasion. All of that is to say that there are plenty of choices now in the EV space, and it's really only battery & motor efficiency where Tesla have a lead, together with the historical aspirational value of the brand (which, since Elon is extremely online, is not much to write about). Customers like myself who have bought one and realised afterwards that the whole experience has a strong Emperor's New Clothes smell about it are going to be drawn to those competitors that actually build the cars a lot better and have ALKS and ADAS tech that - whilst not being called Autopilot or Full Self Driving - is just as capable if not more so. (I'm in Europe where autonomous development has stood still for years, but at least my car isn't driving itself into kerbs on "FSD beta").

StrangersInTheNight posted:It won't, it's already synonymous with luxury as a brand, which is all you really need for rich people to keep buying it. This was very true for almost a decade but only because they were "cool tech". Porsche and Mercedes electric cars will be much bigger status symbols than Tesla at not too different price points. Tesla is already losing ground on both technology and cool factor fronts. How is a Tesla more advanced tech-wise than a Rivian or a Lucid for tech bros? How is it more luxurious than an electric Mercedes EQS? I mean look at the interior of the EQS compared to a Model S and laugh. I actually agree with Tesla going all in on something like a Model 3 and trying to get even more cheap models in. Their best chance to stay relevant is to become an electric Toyota, and not try to compete with actual luxury brands. Especially because Toyota flinched and spent the last decade trying to push their dead-end hydrogen tech instead of developing electric models.

Is Tesla synonymous with luxury for anyone not drinking the musk-aid? The first few years I remember people viewing them as a status symbol but now I only ever see and hear Tesla owners being mocked for it.

loose children are also a threat for that matter, they can behave unpredictably, especially when startled, and their small but powerful fingers can easily slip through an adult’s ear canal and puncture the brain
