lol at the musk truck saying it can stop in 107ft

thatd put it right outside of the top 100 best-braking road cars ever built, including race prototype homologation models

like they're saying you can have a cybertruck and a bmw m4 side by side, both hitting the brakes at 60mph and the cybertruck will take like 11% more space to completely stop, when it has over two times the mass, set far higher up

lol

when the cybertruck's brakes initiate they push down against the earth harder than the bmw, making it stop quicker. this isn't difficult to understand.

It's because when you brake, it tricks the computer into thinking there's a child in the truck itself. It's not breaking. It's trying to steer inward towards the kid, like a black hole behind the driver's seat.

Mulla on aina kolkyt donaa taskussa
Finnish transport workers' union has joined other neighbours of Sweden in blocking the delivery of Teslas destined to Sweden, as Tesla has been trying to circumvent the union dispute via other countries. This blockade starts on 20th December along with Norway and Denmark, so Elon has still a week left to smuggle his self-driving dumpster fires to Sweden! Wish him good luck, Tesla is getting stellar reviews in Sweden right now...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq00fB41NuU

quote:

One of Sweden's best-known electric car YouTubers, journalist Peter Esse, explains in a recent video why he will never buy a Tesla again. The reasons given by Esse include saving money on various sensors and Tesla's approach to customer relations.

One of the things that annoy him is the windscreen wipers, which he even describes as completely brainless.

Because the Tesla Model Y lacks a rain sensor, the wipers rely on the car's camera system to operate, which means that the wipers also rub the windscreen when it is dry and do not always work properly, even when it is raining.

Moreover, the poorly functioning automatic wiper system cannot be switched off without also disabling cruise control and many other automatic functions.

When Esse reported the fault in his car to the Tesla importer, he was informed in writing that Tesla's windscreen wipers are in beta and may therefore behave unexpectedly. Tesla also says that this is not a fault that needs fixing - but a feature that the owner will have to live with for the time being.

Another problem is the car's turning radius, which is by far the highest of any car Essen has ever tested. It makes the Tesla Model Y difficult to park and manoeuvre around the garage.

He considers some of his Tesla's features to be downright fraudulent.

Tesla has been promising for two years to bring back the Model Y's automatic parking function "soon", but still nothing has changed in customers' cars.

The 'full self-driving' system, which the company is selling for thousands of euros extra, is also, according to Essen, a complete nonsense, as the car lacks, among other things, the Lidar radar required by the system. Nor is the automatic driving function permitted in Europe, at least not in a form that could be described as autonomous driving.

- I would like to say that this is almost a betrayal. That's why this will be the last Tesla I ever buy," Esse concludes.
