Seriously!!!

(My model, Toyota Tacoma 3rd gen, breaks the other way. $300ish from local place, $700ish from Safelite. Both WAY lower than $2,400)

My actual pickup truck (a Toyota Tacoma) costs $275 for an installed windshield.

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

what a thoroughly benighted concept

They currently charge a flat rate of $4.20 per ride :|

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)

Well, sort of!

The reason almost everyone starts in Phoenix AZ is partially the lack of rain. It’s also a friendly regulatory environment and a dead-simple street grid structure.

Austin TX gets as much rain as, say, Chicago IL, neither is particularly dry. And Atlanta GA is very, very rainy. On paper it actually gets more rain than Seattle WA.

FWIW, LiDAR based autonomous vehicles have figured this out, Waymo can handle all but the heaviest rain (which, TBF, humans also cannot reliably handle)

(No kidding - Bezos seems to ruin the other things he touches, like Blue Origin and The WaPo, but Zoox is actually making great progress! Probably because Beez isn’t a car guy, he’s a yacht guy I guess.)

Literally 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.

Oh GAWD now I can’t unsee it

Well it had a chance of finishing its education, before it got Musked while getting off the school bus

The kid mannequin doesn’t do much thinking anymore, RIP <3

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)

I’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.

It’s just bananas.

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.

Not mutually exclusive. Why not both?

Weirdly, no XD

Waymo is an Alphabet… bet?

Alphabet: -7% YoY Tesla: +74% YoY

The brownshirt fanboys are an underestimated financial market force. Throw official corruption into the mix. And why not untraceable crypto money from god-knows-who, because the 4d chess board was just too simple without it.

Probably the European sales report – which Fortune helpfully reported as a sign that the sales hemorrhage is “bottoming out,” despite there being absolutely zero evidence to that effect XD

It’s Twitter, because otherwise the language makes no damn sense.

What do you do on Twitter? You tweet your thoughts, as individual tweets.

Like, I don’t call it X, because the branding has no internal logic, I don’t know the words for how to refer to things on X.

Like, what would I do on X? I would X my thoughts as individual Xes? Axises? God, can’t say Axis on Twitter, you’ll get FAR too many neonazis liking your Axises. And if I want to close the window for X? I’ll click on the X in the top right hand corner of X – fuck, it’s so confusing!

What the fuck – they took the most recognizable short-form blogging language on earth, branding so ubiquitous that everyone intuitively understood it and used it reflexively, and rebranded it into a pile of internally inconsistent shit.

Tesla bros: “I heard that jaywalker was a TSLA shortseller.”

Aw jeez, did you copy/paste this message onto every board where this story got posted? XD

Also… wait, I recognize your name. You’re a Mod on the SpaceX board, aren’t you? I thought you said you weren’t a fan of Musk?
