It's going to be hilarious when Tesla turns out to be a major financial fraud and everyone is going to be like, this transparently absolute clown pulled off the greatest financial scam in history, and by hilarious I mean cause significant damage to our entire economy because everything is so dumb Tesla is part of the S&P 500.

I feel like it is going to be very important to remember that Elon has not purchased Twitter, Elon has made an offer to purchase Twitter and the board of Twitter has agreed to accept his offer. This is not a "Buy it now" price on eBay where he charged it to a credit card, I have a signed agreement to pay $57k for a car that doesn't literally does not exist in my backpack right now, for which I have not arranged financing for because no one know when/if it is going to be delivered. Elon does not have $44B dollars, this still, like everything Elon, has the potential to become spectacularly more stupid than any of us have the capacity to imagine at this point.

I got the lovely at&t mobile hotspot now and am getting 5 for $50 a month

also he shipped a bunch of starlink things to ukraine to help them against putin so that is cool

Starlink can't scale, the capacity numbers are completely laughable, but they are magically going to be solved by laser interconnects around the time that FSD is delivered (that won't actually fix the bandwidth issues), but they sucked up a shitload of public money that could have been used for a ground based fixed wireless system to keep SpaceX alive after they ran out of launches and they never made their reusable rocket technology financially viable.

Also, he didn't ship a bunch of Starlink terminals, the US vastly overpaid for them and handled all of the logistics of getting them to Ukraine instead of shipping a shitload of Iridium and Globalstar terminals that would have been vastly more useful for large scale deployment at a faction of the cost, logistics.

It's all a scam and I can't believe people keep falling for it.

And with all that manipulation, the numbers they gave the NHTSA still came out to FSD being ten times as dangerous as unassisted driving? Holy poo poo, how dangerous is it in actuality? Musk is literally a menace to society.

There is another important way that Tesla juice it's numbers...

They always compare their safety numbers to all drivers, but the thing is, Teslas are both expensive to buy and expensive to insure, so the numbers screw to wealthier, older drivers who are already much better drivers than your "average" driver. Also, pretty much all cars at the Tesla price level have advanced driver assistance systems that in many cases are actually more advanced than Tesla's, Tesla's are missing basic things like rear cross traffic detection, forward looking radar, side looking radar, etc.

Nope, it would require side looking rear radar and Elon refuses to admit his camera only solution is substandard without radar. Also, no top down camera, I don't know what that is about, image skewing and blending isn't like advanced car technology these days, the technology has been around for 15 years now, maybe Tesla doesn't have enough cameras in the right places.

If your neighbour was blaring music at midnight the cops can come shut that down, I would hope that light and noise pollution are treated similarly.

They can, years ago they were filming a TV show outside of my home and used a crane, I forget what they called it but it was a light specifically designed to simulate daylight at night outdoors over a large area with the right camera adjustments right outside my window. I called the police and they made them shut it off. I assume they were very pissed off, well, I know they were, they got into a huge fight with the city claiming they had filming permits which gave them the right to film and it was costing the production a ton of money and they city was just like, you can film, you can't put that light up right in front of a residential building.

In Texas it is called a private nuisance, basically anything that a "reasonable" person would cause discomfort or annoyance during the use of their private property. Basically, you can't put a light in front of a bunch of private homes windows designed to simulate sunlight at night because they will be annoyed and, like, it's a light designed to simulate daylight at night, this is a reasonable thing to not want a light designed to simulate daylight at night outside your window at midnight.

Daylight would more likely refer to the color temperature of the lights in question, the poster may have misunderstood. And we tend to use those big lights for anything from creating a fake moon backlight to raising the overal ambient levels of the darkness, daylight color(5600 kelvin and higer) creates a blue tinted light.

I just know what i was told and that the light was bright as gently caress right outside my window, enough that it completely illuminated my home with all the lights off.

That movie was trying to raise money for sickness reaserch. After they couldn't film that scene the production went bankrupt, and sickness research hasn't had any more money ever. They were so close too, if only they sickness research could of had that few hundred thousand from box office receipts from that movie they easily could of cured sickness, but alas no, all the sickness researchers quite after they couldn't see that movie they were really excited to see, so now humanity is ever doomed to be cursed by illness and plague.

Queen of the South is an adaptation of the telenovela La Reina del Sur, which is itself an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Spanish author Arturo Pérez-Reverte.[8] The series centers around Teresa Mendoza, a poor Mexican woman who becomes wealthy by building a vast drug empire.

Teresa lives in the barrio of Culiacán in Sinaloa, Mexico. She falls in love with a member of a drug cartel, and tries to rise above her life's impoverished condition. After she is told her boyfriend has been murdered, she is forced to flee. She crosses the border to the United States, where she ends up in the criminal organization of the wife of the cartel boss who is after her. Teresa has a different vision of the drug distribution business and due to her charisma attracts associates and starts her own drug distributing organization. Teresa becomes very successful, which presents her with more problems, makes her endure sacrifices and attracts the attention of covert government forces.

WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - U.S. auto safety regulators said Thursday they are opening a special crash investigation into a fatal accident in Virginia involving a Tesla Model Y suspected of relying on advanced driver assistance systems and striking a heavy truck.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is probing a July 19 fatal crash in which the driver of a Tesla died after striking a tractor-trailer truck in Warrenton, Virginia.

The Fauquier County Sheriff's Office said the 57-year Tesla driver was killed after the tractor trailer was attempting to turn onto a highway from a truck stop. The Tesla struck the side and went underneath the tractor trailer and the driver was pronounced deceased on the scene. The driver of the tractor trailer was issued a summons for reckless driving.

Elon murdered another person. And this is not the first time this exact accident has happened...
