KayLeadfoot@fedia.ioOPto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Tesla Will Now Let You Finance Your EV Repairs… With Interest Rates as High as 36% APR2·6 days agoSeriously!!!
(My model, Toyota Tacoma 3rd gen, breaks the other way. $300ish from local place, $700ish from Safelite. Both WAY lower than $2,400)

The Cybertruck windshield costs nearly 10 times as much for… reasons? Honestly don’t even fucking know why. Because Elon knows an easy mark when he sees one, I guess

Not joking. Is real. Will be replaced by a real number, they’ll probably ease their way up to Uber pricing to reinforce that they are the “cheap” option, and then jack up the price (just like Uber did)

Probably because Beez isn’t a car guy, he’s a yacht guy I guess.)
KayLeadfoot@fedia.ioOPto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Tesla’s Robotaxi Can’t Drive in the Rain, and Dumps Passengers If the Weather Looks Risky.2·11 days agoLiterally every single Robotaxi ride has some asshole babbling throughout, glazing Elon Musk as the taxi is bouncing off curbs or dumping them when it starts raining.
The PR play from Tesla here is really, really obnoxious.
The worst part? It’s working. Mainstream media is reporting that early rider reactions are enthusiastic, without mentioning that early riders are exclusively Tesla fandom podcasters.

Half Life 1 and 2 both feel like quantum leaps into the future in this context.
But I am glad that Mirror’s Edge got the feature, just on style alone :) Portal too (and Portal 2)
KayLeadfoot@fedia.ioOPto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Robotaxis VS Reddit: Users Collect 11+ Videos of Tesla Robotaxi Incidents in First 36 Hours3·13 days agoI’m sort of baffled by the range. “Ten or so” is the commonly reported number I saw, so I ran with that, but I have also seen higher estimates.
Like, surely, Tesla needs to report the exact number to the state, right? How is it possible that we don’t know, it’s just such a bootleg setup.
There are 1,500 Waymos on the road presently (not 1,500 to 3,000), which Waymo themselves announce because Waymo isn’t a circus act: https://waymo.com/blog/2025/05/scaling-our-fleet-through-us-manufacturing

As if to say: “Go on. Go out and get what you paid for.”
KayLeadfoot@fedia.ioOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Robotaxi Drives Double the Speed Limit, Hits Speed Bumps at Full Speed… Tesla Influencers Describe It as “Excellent.”3·13 days agoI’ve noticed that, too.
The speed signage is nice when the car picks it up, but I’d call mine 80% accurate. Imperfect, but fine for a driver assist, I know not to rely on it.
Crazy move to put it in a 99.9999%-accuracy-required design.

Hard to put a finger on it, but there’s persistent questions about stock price fixing. A constant joke across Tesla-watching forums. I wouldn’t touch that stock with a ten foot pole, it’s got a fuse and I’d bet dollars to donuts it is already lit.
