Yeah, but they also hate every horse that's not the same color as the one they want to gently caress most. Y'know the other half of the Republican fantasy.

No, that's the marketing line. The fantasy is "but I will and most of you won't".

I don't really see much of a functional difference between it being controlled by a touch screen or a separate electronic button, but yeah, it's still not uncommon. My Mach-E you had to hit the Vehicle icon then Controls then Access then press the liftgate icon.

And In either case (electric button vs touch screen) there's no direct physical connection between the two like there is with a purely mechanical release.

You can see in the video that the touch screen has sent the signal to open so it's either being interrupted (i.e. broken wire) or the latch is mechanically stuck (probably most likely) both of which can happen with most cars.

Ok the deal is that a regular physical switch that engages the electric mechanism can be pressed over and over and will attempt to unlock every time you press it (some vehicles have safety systems that will prevent it if the car is in drive/in motion).

Tesla has locked the function behind software, where a faulty sensor (or logic!) means you can't open it (because it thinks it is already open) and there's no physical switch on the frunk itself.

but if it thinks the trunk is open, can't you touch the screen to "close" it, thus resetting the software state and try again to open it?

This.. this is my issue is with the touchscreen. Everything has to move through the OS. And since cosmic loving rays can kill that poo poo at random, it's pathetic to not have any manual control.

Based on CES, looks like more cars are planning to do the Giant Tablet for Center Console thing. Not sure how I feel about it. On the downside, none of them seem to be replacing turn signal stems with capacitive touch controls, using the tablet to open the glovebox, or replacing wheels with yokes, so I think Tesla is still going to be industry leading thankfully.

The end state of corporate feudalism is fascism because the natural behaviour of a corporation is to eliminate competition.

Yes, I picked the most outlandish thing. The point is more electronics beholden to software issues is bad for a speeding vehicle. Or apparently even just opening the frunk.

I'm a lovable meme.

Giant tablet cars suck rear end. They're tacky, look cheap, and function poorly. One of the reasons I went with the car I have now is because their screen is purely for display, and all functions can be accessed through controls that you can feel. That's safer and gives a satisfying feeling.

this just raises a question for me: are there geofenced areas teslas aren't allowed to autodrive in? Like military bases? Just sort of internally comparing it to hobby drones.

I doubt it, there's no restrictions on letting your Tesla drive itself on any military base I've been on, the real secure stuff you can't drive your own car around on anyways.

It's inserting though, pretty soon the government's going to have to start ordering cars specifically without driver assist cameras or cell connectivity to drive around that sort of place.

This may have been a very mundane hallucination but I remember there being a service in Austin that would drive your car home for you after hitting the bars. They brought a little fold up bike or something like that and would use it to get back to their spaceship after dropping you off.
