  • You might not want whatever answer you get.

    At that price point and size you are getting a junk TV. Probably of the “buy again in 2 to 4 years” kind of variety. You’re going to have to pick price, size, or quality, and I hope you’re aware you’ve kinda eliminated quality from the start. If you already know that, kick butt go do your thing. If you’re trying to get a good TV at 70 inches for less than $1000, you’re on a fools errand.







  • Whatever you say Mr Dahmer joke instead of content. I see that was really all in good faith and maybe I unintentionally hurt your feelings by citing a source on base rate biases?

    What data would you like me to bring for discussion since you’ve been so open thus far? Do you want me to bring some data showing that teslas spend more time not having accidents than having accidents? I’m happy to go do some homework to enrich this interaction.

    It’s not as though you can just ask Tesla for every case of an FSD crash. The falsifiable claim is just me tossing a number, the point is that memorable bad press and bad stats are not the same.





  • It IS actually true. It does goofy stuff in some situations, but on the whole is a little better than your typical relatively inexperienced driver. It gets it wrong about when to be assertive and when to wait sometimes, it thinks there’s enough space for a courteous merge but there isn’t (it does some Chicago style merges sometimes), it follows the lines on the road like they are gospel, and doesn’t always properly estimate how to come to a smooth and comfortable stop. These are annoying things, but not outrageous provided you are paying attention like you’re obliged to do.

    I have it, I use it, and I make lots of reports to Tesla. It is way better than it used to be and still has plenty of room to improve, but a Tesla can’t reboot without having a disparaging article written about it.

    Also fuck elon, because I don’t think it gets said enough.





  • Why not? There’s a required manual latch, which exists. If it reduces cost somehow to have two switches I can’t see the downside. It seems like a money losing proposition, but if that were the case I don’t know how we got to this situation. Probably it’s a nicety to 1) preserve trim sure, but 2) allow more sophisticated automation like “hey you can’t open the door when the car is in motion”, or other niceties.

    The door connects to the computer but there’s an available, mandatory failsafe. Nobody is having problems who isn’t eating Jesus sandwiches or a box of crayons for lunch.


  • Lol what a load of shit. This chick is dumb at least 3 ways:

    1. The app and the car warn you that the thing will be unavailable when you select update. GET OUT of the car. Has she never seen the warnings of how fast a car heats up? Like why you can’t leave your dog or a kid in the car to run into a store “really quick”?

    2. Literally 2 in every 3 people who ride in your car pull the manual release. It is not a big deal if you don’t use it every time. It’s as though she’s never had a passenger in 6 years. I just don’t buy it.

    3. Most importantly, THIS IS WHAT THE MANUAL LATCH IS DESIGNED FOR.

    There are many, MANY design features of a Tesla that suck (as anyone who has one will tell you), but article is clickbait from user stupidity. She needs to wear her helmet at all times for not using the feature designed to let her get out at any moment. Even IF she bent the weather stripping, it would cost less than her chicken sandwiches to fix.
