OldPueblo posted:Ugh I still can't decide on a color for the M3, and my invite will probably be hitting in a month'ish since my slot has been bumped twice. I was pretty set on white but then I saw a white one in person here in AZ and for some reason it just didn't grab me. Does anyone know of any good color picture comparisons, hopefully that have different angles and lighting? Other than this one which doesn't seem to help me choose. Everything but red & blue there are boring rental car colors.

Potato Salad posted:Hot takes, pick one Sometimes when I roast coffee I lose track of time and accidentally miss the part when I want to dump the seeds out of the roaster and get 'em a little darker than what I prefer. The only reason that doesn't happen when I drive is because my car can't even shift its own gears, let alone steer itself. That Tesla has built, marketed, and sold a system that requires constant attention while you do a similarly boring safety-critical task is irresponsible to say the least. Yeah the victim knew that part of his commute was problematic in that way but he's only human.

But apparently making an appointment with the dealer was all we needed to do to fix the problem because the following morning the flasher was working just fine. Similarly, the tire-pressure-monitoring system went awry, signaling a fault when all the tires were actually doing just fine, for once. Then the fault light went out, all on its own.

spandexcajun posted:I know some people argue that it should have never been an issue in the first place, but this does not seem to me to be a good faith argument. All vehicle manufacures are going to encounter problems, OTA updates are a much better way to fix them IMO. Which other vehicle manufacturers have sold a four-door that degrades to shittier braking than an F-150 after you do a panic stop once? OTA updates are cool but using them to get away with shipping a vehicle with dangerous problems is really bad.

ilkhan posted:So dangerous that nobody noticed in almost a year and only appears after multiple panic stops? It's entirely possible that OTA updates or some other process reset the brake failure, and that nobody's both had a bad enough couple drives where they had to panic stop twice, had it gently caress up the second time, and made the connection that it's defective software being shipped on their new $40k electric car made by daddy Elon himself. TooMuchAbstraction posted:Tyrgle isn't wrong. It'd be possible to build in separate, airgapped computer systems, but it'd be more expensive. On the other hand, ABS systems mostly need tuning per chassis, and not ground-up reëngineering, so sane automakers buy the computer from Bosch, Continental, Denso, etc. instead of building their own that both can and needs over-the-air updates to fix massive failures that endanger occupants and bystanders.

at certifying software. Certified software is incredibly expensive to write; as I understand it you pretty much have to prove that it has well-defined and acceptable behavior under every possible execution path, and proving poo poo about software is a nightmare.
