Scientastic posted:Wait wait wait, the FSD thing is a subscription service? Who in the world would pay for that on top of hugely overpaying for the car itself? It's both, you can pay the fantastically overpriced $15k once off for an imaginary thing that will never work and they might remove if you transfer ownership of the car, or you can pay $200 a month just to have it in the meantime.

It's even funnier than that: many people paid the $15,000 as far back as like 2016 and then learned their car doesn't have the hardware for FSD

He raises the price as 'value' is added to the product. I'm not sure what value is defined as though.

Yeah, I know a guy who got it for $2k in 2018 as Musk was even doing "sales" back then to drum up cash, and the guy thought 50% off for a free computer upgrade was worth it (as they *will* install the latest computer if you buy FSD and your car doesn't "support" it). He does believe FSD is coming though, and will apparently read his work e-mails on the morning commute, using autopilot to deal with the freeway gridlock. Edit: he's also a software engineer at a competing self driving company. Charles Ford fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Jan 6, 2023 |

Scientastic posted:Counterpoint: modern phones are ridiculously huge, and the fact they keep getting bigger is incredibly stupid for something is supposed to fit in your pocket They keep getting bigger because they want to sell products the customers will buy. Apple made an iPhone small recently and no one wanted it. “The iPhone 13 mini had the smallest share of sales of all the iPhone 13 models, and it made up just three percent of total iPhone sales during the quarter. Comparatively, the other iPhone 13 models were much more popular, and had the largest share of U.S. sales in several years.”

Charles Ford posted:Some of it is undoubtedly sensory-based too. I don't have FSD or "enhanced autopilot" but normal autopilot on mine definitely thinks the signals for the VTA train that run down the middle of the freeway in some places are just freeway traffic lights. if you got in a car with a stranger and they started doing hard brakechecks at random at 80mph on the freeway, would you let em drive again Offler posted:I think you would have to sit idling for a stupidly long time to drain a gas/diesel tank as well. When I was driving across Norway in the winter there was some kind of massive road work up in a mountain pass so they stopped all traffic for more than two hours. My gas tank was at just above 3/4 full when they told us it would take more than an hour, and it was still at 3/4 when I drove off almost 2.5 hours later. idling uses basically no fuel in modern cars (especially diesels) because there's no actual load on the engine, it's in free rotation under its own inertia and only detonates just enough fuel to counter out the friction loss, which is extremely low slightly higher if you're running the HVAC system but still nowhere near what it burns to move still don't leave gas cars idling (unless it's near/below freezing) if you don't have to for hvac/battery though, just turn it off if you're not using it in the next like, 30 seconds, unless you're delivering pizzas or something like that in a car without a stop-start battery/starter diesels are honestly w/e to leave running if you're gonna be using it in under an hour or so, just leave it on so it doesn't have to heat cycle again, bc that'll generate more emissions than it running at temp & wear out glowplugs - if you see construction equipment idling while people eat lunch or whatever, they're not assholes because of it on a similar note: the black sooty poo poo big diesels spew is mostly straight up pure carbon and falls to the ground as it cools and doesn't do anything. it's not great to breathe but it's not what's causing global warming (that's all the stuff mixed in with the soot that you don't see, lol!). gently caress those dumb rednecks who leave pickups idling in parking lots all day for no reason though also Rollin Coal shitheads who detune and ruin their engines to own the libs, that actually does generate higher emissions & waste fuel for no reason

spunkshui posted:Apple made an iPhone small recently and no one wanted it. No one wanted it because the specs compared to the flagships were weak and the pricing was bad. It's not that it's small. It was priced just so that if you were going to make the outlay, why not buy the bigger, but better phone?

Well I just got a community guidelines violation from TikTok because calling Andrew Tate garbage is "clearly hostile toward people because of their protected attributes." It was the last social media that I hadn't caught a punishment from after I caught a temporary ban from Twitter for implying Elon musk is not very bright(I have 25 followers on Twitter. Good thing they are watching what I say so closely.

Wait. $200 a month. Not $20 a month. Who the gently caress would pay $2400 a year on top of the costs of the overpriced car they already bought for beta (at best) software that is absolutely not ready for prime time and in a worst case scenario might actually kill them or an innocent civilian? God drat, we live in a brain-damaged world.

cynic posted:It's more getting enough juice to prime charging real estate. They can fix the connector issues easily (and in fact have for various trials in the EU) There are a dozen other charging networks that did that without using proprietary connectors or manufacturer lock-in.

Gadzuko posted:No "eventually" about it, the first death from someone using autopilot was back in 2016 and there have been plenty more since. I went to look it up and there's even a website entirely dedicated to tracking it: https://www.tesladeaths.com/ 19 on that list are directly autopilot related. If Ford released a car where the seat warmers killed 19 people, they'd recall it and probably have to pay off a bunch of people.

"No, you're using it wrong! The correct way to use it is not to turn it on*. Also I'm going to ignore all those other times your car tried to kill you because they don't support my narrative that it's all your fault." *Admittedly, the location wasn't supported and was a dumbass place to try the feature that you admit has tried repeatedly to hurt you elsewhere.

Some Japanese arcade ports have a "Tate mode" where you have to physically turn your entire TV sideways. So it's entered retro gaming jargon, but is often mispronounced because people think that it's just an abbreviation of "rotate" but it is not. That's it. The whole joke. My jokes are made for me and half a dozen other people that may exist, or may only exist in my mind. It's a wonder why I'm not an influencer or whatever.
