Those studies usually fail to account for the ease of service with Tesla. You can schedule service from the app and most of the time they will send a mobile technician to you at home or at work or wherever you want to service the vehicle, so people are more likely to schedule appointments for minor issues.

It means a moisture sensor has triggered.

Moisture sensors don’t typically cost $21k. They said the batteries were full of water.

Okay so for starters this article is clearly just a dig at Elon. If it wasn’t they would never have mentioned him but Elon makes headlines.

Second, I don’t buy it. We’re getting one side of the story here. They’ve been selling these cars by the millions for years at this point. If the cars were failing “while driving in the rain”, it would be a much bigger deal.

The " Elon Musk could buy everyone in the world a Tesla if he wanted to." line makes it clear that this is just more Elon/Tesla clickbait.

Isn’t this what the liberals want? For government to be in charge of what we’re allowed to say?

No he’s very smart in that he’s using Xitter to increase his influence, and thereby his wealth in the long term. Gonna cost him but he’ll probably come out net-positive, even if Xitter doesn’t.

Xitter is a corporation that doesn’t live in the EU

EU can only penalize him on revenue (not profit) in the EU. So likely small fries compared to the billions of dollars of devaluation and advertiser revenue he’s already squandered on his crusade.

There are Twitter–>Fedi bots you can follow for most “notable” figures. Obviously you can’t interact with them and you’ll only see replies from other “notable” figures, but I see that as a bonus.

Musk has already left millions of dollars in advertiser funds on the table in the name of “free speech”. He’s not going to comply.

Thank you for the intelligent reply. I just can’t imagine why people are afraid anymore 🖕

Honest question: why shouldn’t we be afraid?

but fear that we’d do another Chernobyl has scared us away from it.

Chernobyl turned an entire city into a radioactive wasteland for the next 10k years. Same goes for 3-mile island and Fukushima. The last of which was just over 10 years ago.

Are we so arrogant to think that that could never happen again? What’s changed?

seems like we’re finally getting to the point where we stop blaming the common people for climate change.

I mean the “common people” are to blame. The 1% doesn’t live in a vacuum.

Do billionaires carry a significantly larger portion of that blame? Yes. But we’re all on this gaseous rock together. Them being at fault doesn’t mean you can’t do your part. They couldn’t do what they do if the people weren’t buying the shit they’re selling.

Your comment is racist and makes no fucking sense. Take a moment to construct an actual argument instead of just throwing around some bullshit terminology you read on the Internet. Or don’t reply to me again.

Right. Us stupid white people didn’t realize bad words existed!

People just need things to be angry about I guess.

I’ve been enjoying Calckey but yes, stability is a problem, as is federation.

Calckey is functionally 39584882x better than Mastodon but I’ve tried several servers now that are all pretty weak.

I very much prefer Android but I can’t fault you for that.

That’s nothing to do with security or networking. It’s entirely around consumer tech.

Who cares?
