The fact that Tesla couldn't screen out open circuit defects/battery capacity QC escapes is sort of telling.

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
the dates align pretty well with the production push that led to a whopping 17% 14% FPY on produced vehicles.

the fact that even 17% 14% was apparently optimistic is frankly hilarious.

I hope the control circuit still tried to juice it to the same total coulomb charge and so the batteries that were left connected correctly are now ruined

Tesla is basically the Soviet approach which was focused on did you meet your unrealistic production goals not if

Do EVs/hybrids generally light up the tail lights when regen braking without the brake pedal getting touched?

Everyone knows the real brake check is downshifting hard and letting the gas go, which won't light the tail lights either.

(lol at them failing to engineer it)

This is speculation, so a pinch of salt here, but I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is no. It's analogous to engine/jake braking, which I believe (again, don't hold me to this) does not require the brake lights to be activated.

It's still early days for Tesla

What I wonder is if Tesla has been loving with their 'data' on crashes to make it look like Autopilot was always off. Like who is your Insurance agency going to trust, you or Tesla, who said they have computer logs.

The gun battery thing was suspect as gently caress, and at this point I wouldn't put it past Tesla to try and cut some of their insurance rates and decrease warranty repair by sticking some of their owners with repair bills.

The newer Volt/Bolt turn on their brake lights over a certain deceleration threshold. The 1st gen volt did not because it didn’t decelerate hard enough to trigger the lights.

Yes. The threshold is usually 0.12G deceleration.

Nope, every EV I’ve been in will light the brake lights if you’re slowing down by regen. I make a point of asking the engineers that question at each launch and the answer is always yes.

The Hulu doc paid Billy McFraudster to appear in it, even though he comes off looking like a criminal. the Netflix documentary was made by the scumbag social marketing team that helped promote the festival. you kinda have to watch both.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

ill watch neither. all i remember about the coverage was a shitload of rich people being briefly exposed to the tamest version of mild, developed-world poverty and it becoming an international news event and high-profile class action lawsuit, and how it made me really glad i didn’t own a gun or have access to explosives. it’s probably not a state of mind that’s healthy for me to revisit.

There were no private jets, the organizers hired some charter planes. a whole bunch of people got scammed but the ones that really got fucker were all the locals who were working for the festival who got stiffed.
