Software was probably one of the last areas where Tesla still had a small edge over the competition.
The competition has caught up when it comes to range and Teslas were never really competitive when it comes to quality or price.
Agreed. I’ve used the infotainment on EVs from Kia, Toyota, Cadillac, and Hyundai so far and Tesla is so much smoother and seamless and intuitive.
And don’t get me started on the mobile app and API access. Toyota’s mobile app might be the worst in the industry, dear god it’s bad. It crashes during setup and the salesperson just said, “Yeah that’s normal it’s why it only has 2 stars”.
Tesla still had a small edge over the competition.
Too bad they wasted it all on things like “fart mode” and games instead of useful features like improved speech recognition and integrating it with things like the radio, Bluetooth, etc.
Imagine reporting to Elon Musk
Nobody with a shred of a conscience wants to work for a boss who does Nazi salutes in public.
That’s why Musk loves H1B visas, because you can treat them like slaves and it’s very hard for them to take an ethical stand.
If it pays 7 figures, it’s probably worth it for a little while.
Tesla is Wile E. Coyote after having chased the Road Runner around a sharp curve and is now standing 300 ft in the air
This the guy that made the car trap you to death when the car needed and “update” lmao
Nah that sounds like a hardware issue. Software should never dictate whether a door opens. Hell we have laws that require a manual emergency release from inside of trunks (many require it be lighted I believe as well). I don’t see how a hardware could be allowed to rely on software to open a door and be legal.
My understanding is that there is a hardware release, but it’s not intuitive. https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-A7A60DC7-E476-4A86-9C9C-10F4A276AB8B.html
Wait you don’t just pull the lever you have to pull a rip cord under the lever? Or am I viewing that wrong. Who would think that’s a good idea, just attach the wire to the lever so it unlocks like a normal door handle. That’s some seriously bad engineering.
Yup, and trying to remember that in an already intense situation. That’s why people drown and burn to death in their Tesla. Oh, bonus point, you can’t use it to test it, because it’s one time use and breaks the automatic locking system.
And here I thought mother nature was pissed off because we were fucking over the environment. It’s probably because we are fucking over the environment for absolutely shit products.
I blame that one on the physical design. Probably mandated by Musk. No one who knows about software would make the decision to require the use of software to be able to exit the car. :P
There are mechanical door releases that I figured Tesla owners knew about. They kinda blend in and now I see how someone might not be aware of their existence.
I heard Felon can’t code or do engineering. He’s just an owner.
I always figured that Felon was completely full of shit, but when he started talking about Twitter’s tech stack, I had proof. He spoke with such authority and what he was saying was complete nonsense.
