I mean fine, but these people have no convictions whatsoever. What a bunch of spineless shills.
Imagine counter-protesting the poor citizenry by donating a ton of money to the richest man in the world
Wait, are conservatives supposed to love electric cars or hate them? Their audience must be getting whiplash from that about-face, no? Or does this prove that they are easily led without questioning anything?
option two
If not for doublethink, they wouldn't think at all.
Yeah, I wonder if they're really going to switch from loud trucks to quiet electric cars. In a way it would be good, although I really don't want Musk to get even more money.
It drives me nuts when people say those things are self-driving. Too many people believe that already.
Privately sold my Tesla M3 about 3 years ago, and it had the FSD package.
Guy was buying for his mom (he was driving a MB G Wagon) - and said he wanted the FSD because his mom couldn’t drive.
“Buddy, I got news for you, neither can FSD”
At this point, the ones still believing that they're self driving, I'm not gonna shed a tear when they get maimed while finding out they were wrong.
I'm gonna shed a tear, though, when other people get maimed while these dipshits find out they were wrong.
I want to see musk utterly fail and end up in prison. That said, it'd be pretty ironic if good old boys start driving electric cars forcing infrastructure investments for more charging stations.
There’s the yee yee conservatives that pledge allegiance to people who pretend to care about bigoted “traditional” values and the ones they’re loyal to have pledged their souls to pieces of green paper. Some a combination of both.
People worry about giving robots with ai guns. Where are such outspoken people with statistics when we equip a four-wheeled sedan that weighs the same as a building that can accelerate faster than you can think the ability to control itself? Maybe you can have self driving guns too, does it make it ethically better to just skip the robot?
Also: who the hell am I supposed to take to court after getting maimed by one of these? Technically the operator isnt at fault if the autonomous system chooses to hit me instead of something else. Im certain the insurance companies have already found a weaselly loophole to avoid contingency in this case. I feel like we are gonna have to get back into the legislative idea of making manufacturers responsible for their product failures.
Why is a vehicle with 1000HP and 0-60 in 2 seconds street legal.
That sounds like it would be fun to go to a race track and race in a controlled environment, but when is that ever needed in a city?
Even worse, I assume these cars are mainly bought by people without fast car experience. It's a disaster waiting to happen.
And why the hell would you give this amount of horsepower to a barely functioning self driving car? It just doesn't make sense to me.
That's not really the issue, the slap dash construction and safety issues are the issue.
They also likely aren't paying for or actuallygetting these vanity products because plaids are notoriously behind in production and it's not terribly unlikely that you receive it and it immediately has to go back because of some critical production flaw/error.
As a pedestrian I am very concerned about how fast and heavy these vehicles are. People drive recklessly with them, blasting through intersections with people crossing. There is zero reason for a vehicle designed for a city to ever need to be this powerful.
And I also agree with you on the quality of build and lack of safety testing, especially on the cyber truck. Drivers can’t see anything and those are unsafe for everyone in them and around them.
