I can't wait for people to die and Tesla to blame them for relying on the machine they paid tens of thousands of dollars for to have been made with some degree of competence.

Like back when he had just become a media persona you didn't pay too much attention but just had this silly little hunch that, oh maybe it's pretty weird and creepy to idolize some random rich person who is purposely manipulating their public image and the surrounding cult mentality, and it was pretty defeating too see how many people lack the skepticism to spot the empty promises and PR. But then you had nothing more concrete to point at than that being a sheep is generally bad so you'd be screamed down for being a cynical rear end in a top hat who has probably never done anything to save the world, so you just kind of forgot about the whole thing until this pedo-libel stuff surfaced. Then you laugh and laugh.

This is even with institutional money forking over 15 billion dollars to Tesla.

Jobs didn’t pretend he designs and engineers anything, though. He was fine with selling himself as ”the visionary”. He was an honest rear end in a top hat (still an rear end in a top hat, tho). Elon’s a bullshitter.

It's kinda complicated; both Jobs and Wozniak agree they couldn't have made a go of Apple without each other, and Mike Markkula was instrumental in actually taking them from the garage to an actual company. I think the better tech comparison is Clive Sinclair

quote:Tesla service center recommended and uses a local car wash. The car wash asks that the key be left with them. I've never had a problem, but I'm reluctant to take the car elsewhere. I'd like to get clear instructions from Tesla. My model 3 manual says that it will go into park in 20 minutes after being put into tow mode. I'm concerned that, with a long waiting line, the 20 minutes might expire while in the wash.

Generally though people just don't seem to catch on you should be incredibly suspicious when someone seems to have only positive publicity and is actively cultivating it. It was always so transparent.

Why have a booby trapped tow mode that disengages automatically after a certain time, all but guaranteeing some idiot will try to use it when their car is towed, and cause an accident? Why are so many things in the model 3 fail-deadly? What kind of unbelievable goddamn loving idiots work at Tesla and why are they not in jail yet?
