I’m not insane, my ability to remember instances of my car trying to kill me is quite well developed. Are you assuming good faith?

I dunno what to tell you. It did it. A disengagement every 40 miles is not what I’m seeing on my car. (By the way, this is part of the reason Tesla owners get called Elon-worshiper…

Breaking my own rule only once: My car, that I own as a consumer, drove me through town, on the freeway, through another town, and into a parking lot four hundred miles away. Twent…

Usually HN engineers are able to compartmentalize and correctly answer questions like this, but it’s a lost cause with Tesla for some reason. They’re unable to separate “it did a d…

Except able to go to different places, with the much lower cost of road infra vs. rail infra.

It’s highly disincentivized by basic game theory. Any individual sacrifice has highly negative effects on the individual player, and undetectable positive effects on the problem we…

Nah, that brings the 200-400mi range to my mind, far outside of the 750-1250km range that I intuit is implied by single-significant-digit “1000km” in this context.

“1,000km (about 600-700 miles)” would feel better.

Not a Trump fan, but I think it’s fair to say that Iran felt much less free to be jerks during 2017-2021 than recently. Very early in 2017, Trump sent a bunch of missiles into Syri…

Sounds like effort is best spent on improving those processes, then, rather than worrying about personal consumption that doesn’t move the needle.

Let’s do some math to see if this qualifies as something to worry about. They say they’ve sold 4 million Picos. The packaging can get recycled, but let’s just assume every single P…

How this will go: 1. Everyone will yell that FSD did this, ignoring that FSD doesn’t exist on these trucks yet. 2. Everyone will yell that it was a stuck accelerator pedal, or some…

So if Musk isn’t special, he just happened to start successful business in the two hardest categories possible? Regardless of what you think about him, he’s good at something. It’s…

> it's starting to set on the American empire. [citation-needed] The US is the only first world country with demographic numbers that look not-apocalyptic.

Remember, this isn’t really a moral judgement. It’s a “we get way too many chargebacks on these categories to make it worth it” judgement. Maybe we could see a thing where to purch…

Is there any reason I would deliberately purchase one of these over a standard 32GB drive? Trying to think of if there’s a case where I would want to trick some hardware into think…

Okay, I have to ask: why on earth would someone downvote this?

Usually cruise control refuses to activate below a certain speed, feels like it’s about 28mph in cars I’ve driven. If “many of the incidents occurred when drivers were parking”, th…
