you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Absolutly, the driver carries a bunch of responsibility for not being in control of his vehicle. BUT ......This is exactly why calling the crap FSD / Autopilot is so goddamn bad, it gives the majority of drivers who not understand how bad autonomous cars really are a false sense of what it can do and also to check out mentally from controlling the car.

So there's a lot of blame to go around and it's not just one thing or another in this case. It's the driver for not paying attention, it's Tesla for making it seem like the driver doesnt need to pay attention. It's Musk for throwing out LIDAR and insisting on vision only. It's the people who wrote this lovely software. It's the Govt regulatory bodies for still allowing this poo poo

I think the biggest tragedy of Tesla is they could've been great if they had just focused on the basics, but no, had to waste years and billions on lovely self-driving and crappy all digital controls. All they had to do was make a decent electric car, and there is one hidden under the atrocious bodywork quality and lovely digital add on, but its not worth the rest of the car.

wikipedia posted:

Tesla was incorporated in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning as Tesla Motors. The company's name is a tribute to inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla. In February 2004, Elon Musk joined as the company's largest shareholder and in 2008 he was named CEO.

[...]

In February 2004, the company raised US$7.5 million (equivalent to $12 million in 2023) in series A funding, including $6.5 million (equivalent to $10 million in 2023) from Elon Musk, who had received $100 million from the sale of his interest in PayPal two years earlier. Musk became the chairman of the board of directors and the largest shareholder of Tesla.

As always, Musk's role is effectively that of a large wallet.

If you're driving around in a brand new $120,000 vanity pickup truck, you aren't a cyberpunk. The cyberpunks are riding hacked chinese e-bicycles. You're one of the corpos who gets his head cut off with molecular wire.

He literally got them to write "Elon Musk gets to call himself a founder of the company" into the series A funding contract.

Also, Elon stole the founder's personal Roadster (VIN 0001) and that's the one he launched into space.

Not only is it not disabled, they’re giving it away to all (most?) teslas as a free trial for a few days / weeks so everyone gets to experience first hand enlightenment.

idk which thread it was in, but some guy who had been a tank driver in the army said that in wargames the biggest threat to him was ATGM infantry, and the more mobile they were, the more terrifying they became.

so ATGMs able to move around at 10 times the speed of dismounted infantry, silently and with no heat signature...

Ok, ok, ok, I know Tesla is an easy punching bag, but this is a weird one. As of today, Tesla cars can no longer play Steam games on their built in computer. Seems like an odd announcement and I'm just now learning that they had a PC at all, but apparently its original release allowed the driver to use their car as a gaming PC with the center screen as their monitor while the car was actually driving

How have they gotten away with their poo poo for so long?
