Don’t trust him.

...

teslas are utter shit tho. theres a million reasons why you are a retard for buying one and only one single reason for buying it in the first place. you want to be part of some cool crowd.

these utter shit looking hybrids (camry aside, that is one sexy ass car) at least make sense.

Never trust Musk!!! He’s as bad and Gates.

awildbanannaphone

I don't think you understand, we need to use (((new tactics))). I agree musk is probably a tool, but he is pushing the herd of humanity in the right direction. When the direction he is pushing stops being productive the meme army will take him out. As long as what he says is close to the truth its helping our cause.

i_scream_trucks

i dont think i want to go where musk is pushing us either.

hes got some cool toys which are backed designed researched and built by a fuckton of smart people that arent him but his cars... kek....

What I don't like about Tesla is their anti-consumer repair rules. They're like Apple with requiring their mechanics to do the work. You have to agree to their terms of service to use a car that YOU OWN. Also I'm not a fan of replacing perfectly fine mechanical devices with technology. They have almost no buttons, only a big touchscreen, which you have to use to even open the glove box. I like real switches and stuff, but maybe that's just me. The cars overall seem pretty cool, and I see great promise in electric cars, but I just hate those specific things.

POTUS curbed Computer companies and even John Deere from this sort of policies in an EO about 2 years ago.

I never heard about that. I'll look into it.

I completely agree. I cant stand these new cars with buttons for everything, even the drive selectors. Mechanical (most times) is more reliable and easiest to use. I don't even want an automatic car, much less a fuckn car where I have to use a touch screen to do everything. Idk maybe we are old. I agree though, once you buy something it is yours to modify and work on as you please. I can't stand their proprietary bullshit. There is no need for it. Everyone worships this dude. Idgi. He's a fuckn weirdo nerd, and I haven't seen any evidence that he is as smart as people claim. Dude is terrible at constructing a complete sentence or conveying thoughts through speech. He's a fuckn sped.

So it makes sense that mechanics would hate Teslas, as most can't work on them. Plus, with all of their cameras, Teslas are surveillance hoovers.

And the human-factors design of the Autopilot system is downright frightening. The indicators of "what is it going to do next" are poor (it shows a blue line, but sometimes doesn't follow it), the control system responds to things it shouldn't (look up "phantom braking" - it will brake for shadows of overpasses), and the new "stop sign and stop light" detection feature slows before intersections, and you can signal it to override by pressing the accelerator (tapping the gear stalk also works, but yeah, let's also include a signal that if it is misinterpreted it can easily go wrong).

Tesla drivers are human guinea pigs for autonomous driving AI to practice to replace them on. And you pay through the nose for the privilege!

Guilty of posting reddit link... OP is a faggot.

Stop sending reddit traffic, and allowing them to track people who click.

starrychloe

Cannot track images. No JavaScript is loaded. You don’t know how the web works.

CarInTheLake

That's false, cookies can be passed through any kind of request.

Butterbread

II'm not talking about JS. Learn about HTTP.

elcob32

I do, I am a programmer. Server-side tracking is definitely a thing and you are definitely a faggot.

ThisIsMyRealName

Tracking of what? IP? What else can they nab from an HTTP GET request?

elcob32

There is a lot more data stored in the header than your IP address such as where you are linking in from. Those two factors give Reddit the ability to track Voat users by IP address.

ThisIsMyRealName

That's still anonymous data.

elcob32

Not when there are companies that purchase this kind of tracking data from thousands of companies and pool it all together. Go ahead and keep diluting yourself though.

Butterbread

Deluding

ThisIsMyRealName

I'll dilute myself with any chemical I please, thank you very much.

elcob32

I'm not a fan of such things but your free to do as you like (for a little while longer anyway).

turtlesareNotevil

But those cars are pretty terrible.

Adam_Jensen_

Their cars will be used to control the population. With self driving, they will lock down cars and prevent you from being mobile.

sep11insidejob

They're the best. By far

fuck off elon.

Ha. I misread that as:
