How different is this from any other similar sized companies behaviour? This site doesn't seem that impartial/unbiased. From a linked article on Tesla: > It’s also worth noting that the above email was sent after 2 a.m. Pacific, which isn’t specifically relevant to the faked video. But it does make it look like Musk is a loser with no friends or anything else to do other than work. Loser.
Is what you raise relevant? Is it fine if everybody does it? Is the leak not real because you found a link to it on an unimpartial site?
No other company/CEO can make as grandiose announcements. Their future product pipeline is worth trillions and every year there's something else they will deliver very soon that will revolutionize the world. If you've read about it in a scifi book, Tesla will announce they are working on it first.

woosh, as the kids say. Fairly sure parent is sarcastic.
You shouldn't tail any car in general. There's a lot more 'real' braking out there than 'phantom' braking.
Real braking happens for a reason, to avert accidents. Sane drivers don't do it just randomly in perfectly safe situations. Random braking is major risk for everyone around and if you are source of it, you are in fact danger foe others.
> Sane drivers don't do it just randomly in perfectly safe situations
You can't always assume that you will be able to tell when a situation has turned from safe to unsafe. You just can't exactly see what the driver in front of you (or the driver in front of _them_) is seeing.
And you can't assume that the driver in front of you is sane!

Yikes, yeah- on second thought it does seem sarcastic.
It's just so difficult to tell with Tesla because it certainly does have a certain portion of the population that would have posted the original comment entirely unironically.
Gatekeep, gaslight, girlboss The official policy to deprive customers and victims of information as much as possible is shocking from the standpoint of being flagrantly, cynically customer-hostile to the point of probable illegality, but it's right out of both Musk's normal playbook and that of his erstwhile colleagues at e.g. Paypal For me, cars cross a very key danger threshold, which I express like this: "I am tru…
When a manufacturer is selling millions of cars, I think it's better to judge their safety using statistics rather than some qualitative reasoning. Are Teslas measurably less safe than other cars? I.e. is the accident probability per km driven on a Tesla higher than on another car? I haven't seen any data suggesting that, but I'm happy to be corrected.
The number of accident might be lower (no idea) but still, If I'm responsible of killing/injuring someone with my car, I'll pay the consequences. If Tesla is responsible of killing/injuring someone with their car (when they drive through the autopilot), they must also pay the price (probably damages or jail depending of the situation).
Part hype, part perceived future value. Tesla's market cap is not as a car company but as a robot manufacturing company. Investors believe Tesla has a lot of room to grow beyond just selling EVs.

Tela insurance is way more expensive than other cars.
Unfortunate thing for Tesla is we have the Affective Fallacy where if we like Tesla we overweight its benefits and underweight its errors.
What's the name for that fallacy where we do not know what went right, and we pessimize to assume the worst? I.E. How many times did Tesla prevent a crash? Assume none?
I avoid driving anywhere near Tesla’s, especially tailing them. Phantom braking is not okay.
phantom breaking isnt a thing in 2023. it used to be a problem, it's not anymore if you have HW3
Yeah, you're right. I haven't had a phantom brake in quite a while, and even the ones I used to have were not so aggressive as to be unsafe. Unfortunately, I suspect downvoters are conflating 'observing phantom braking has been fixed' with 'complete endorsement of everything Musk does'. Black and white thinking and whatnot.
