look if the brakes were good then you would be less likely to experience tesla's industry-leading crash safety and that would be doing a disservice to customers

still :psypop: about OTA brake updates. delivering software over the internet is a security nightmare and really it mostly works because no ones cares enough to ratfuck you. apple can't avoid dealing with it cause they have an app store and also its a fuckin fondleslab who cares if the brakes dont work. cars are not the same

tesla is being investigated by both agencies. all car manufacturers go back and forth with the nhtsa, but when the ntsb gets involved, some real serious poo poo is going down:

reminder: blowing off the NTSB is a really dangerous play

i've noticed that many people writing articles about tesla seem to conflate the NHTSA and the NTSB and their roles. the NHTSA (national highway traffic safety administration) is the organization that usually handles car safety regs -- things like "your lights need to be this bright and this high off the ground," "cars made after this date need seat belts," "turn signals need to make an audible noise." normally they would be the point of contact for a car safety problem e.g. the takata airbag recall. car manufacturers have lots of back-and-forth with the NHTSA.

the NTSB (national transportation safety board), however, is the other half of the FAA -- they were both split off from the same organization in the 60s. they are the people who gather up all the pieces of a crashed airplane and reconstruct the chain of events down to the second from the scratches on a turbine blade. they are charged with maintaining safety of the nation's entire transportation infrastructure, but usual defer roadway stuff to the NHTSA, focusing more on air transit, heavy shipping, and railways.

if the NTSB is calling up your car company and asking questions, you are in Deep poo poo or very near to it

if you remember back to the alleged insider who posted here (and subsequently got murked by a tesla death squad), they said that certificate verification was disabled on the backend network because it broke poo poo. vehicles get updates ota across an openVPN connection that doesn't verify certs...

yes, i'm well aware, just saying that ntsb doesn't write regulations on vehicle testing. that's nhtsa's thing.

if you look at the second article i posted the tl;dr: is that like literally everything on the model 3, tesla calibrated the abs on their perfectly clean, smooth, test track and never tested them anywhere else. unsurprisingly, they didn't work for poo poo in real-world road conditions

elon musk, yelling at firmware devs: i need you to push out an update ASAP to make every tesla effectively brake. and whatever you do, don't let a single car break after the update!!

He'll probably come to some misguided revaluation while high, and a bunch of confused devs will implement his weed thoughts and kill a bunch of people

no panel gap problems on this one, or any other issues so far aside from the tablet ui sucking rear end. guy renting it out said there was some tailight condensation that went away, he owns a fleet and compared the build quality to a 3 series. the interior isnt audi level but is about par for the course at the price point. this thing is pretty fucken quick, i already miss having an engine and a stickshift but i could prolly get used to it
