I've been in so many meetings where a dipshit leader will speak themselves into corners and commit to things that are literally impossible and those looks on the engineers are so damned familiar. Good lord I don't know how anyone genuinely believes anything Elon says, he's just making poo poo up on the spot.

My favorite example of this behavior was my old boss explaining to some safety reps from Transport Canada that his brilliant idea to help a passenger drone plummeting from the sky would be to put rockets that would fire to slow the vehicle down vertically when in a freefall situation.

The Transport Canada guys were... Less than impressed with the notion of having rockets on what was up-until-then being discussed as a consumer product.

someone linked me to that story and told me it was funny. i listened to it and it wasn't that funny (or at least not funny enough for the amount of time it took to tell). i can save you some time if you want a summary:

teslas don't have a physical key, just a key fob. his key fob broke. not just ran out of batteries, but actually electronically malfunctioned somehow. he had his phone as a backup to unlock the car, but that requires both the phone and the car to have internet access because it authenticates with tesla instead of just doing it locally over bluetooth and exchanging a cryptographic key like a sane implementation would do.

he then parked in a parking garage with no cell signal and was completely unable to start his car because the car and phone could not reach the server. he could unlock it through a passive RFC or NFC thing in the key fob, but that wasn't enough to start the car and he couldn't even put it in tow mode. he had to track down a special tow truck that could put his car on a bed and also fit under the garage clearance, which was less than 7 feet. prior to that, he spent all day on the phone with tesla support and they couldn't do jack poo poo to fix it and basically told him he was out of luck.

if i remember right, he said he had a model S, so apparently the people who wrote that article with the caption that it's unclear which model he owns didn't listen to the thing either.

e: oh, realized i worded something wrong above, to clarify: the phone isn't just for unlocking, but also starting the car. you either need the fob or your phone + internet to start it. (you can unlock it with a non-working fob through the RFC thing, but can't start it that way apparently because??)

why doesn't he just grab the physical key and start the car with the key



they don't come with physical keys!?

Pastel Candy Snake posted:

A genuine question- would Tesla actually even perform better if Musk were stripped of his status as CEO, or is the company poisoned throughout? With Space X, at least I see some actual work and people in parts of the management chain that aren't complete loving idiots, so having him step down there feels like it matters. No idea if the same can even be said for Tesla, though.

If the real goal was to actually create automobiles that the public would want to use and adopt long term - they should've partnered up with Toyota around circa 2012 or so - given them the battery tech, allowed Toyota to design, manufacture, and support an EV class of car using Tesla's battery/motor tech and throw the rest away. Maybe allow Tesla as some small offshoot brand of enthusiast "super car" EV bullshittery on the side.

But no. Now we have cars that fart on command, explode, and need constant over the air software updates to ensure children aren't endlessly mowed down at every crosswalk.

Tesla's "safety" record being "so good" is from "avoiding accidents" - those people are still a live in spite of Tesla's safety stuff.

The apple mouse was designed to be unusable while charging because Steve jobs thought a wireless mouse that could be used while charging would inevitably to the user end up as a wired mouse (because people would find it easier to never unplug it) which he specifically did not want because of aesthetics and branding.

doesn't it also give you 3 weeks of use with 1 minute of charging?

there's a LOT to not like about apple and their walled garden bullshit - a charging port on a mouse is pretty loving low on the complaint list
