if nasa is paying a dime for it then it counts as gov business and is easier to justify as "essential" even if it's not.

If you're one of the sinners who caused this please unfriend me now.

quote:

But this worker said he’s not angry at Musk.

“Me sitting around being mad at Kimbal Musk doesn’t really do me any good,” he said. He added that Musk must be scared about the restaurants not making money.

“I know I don’t make very good decisions when I’m afraid,” he said. “Hopefully one day he’ll see he didn’t handle this the best way.”

I mean, it's a perfectly fine goofy tweet. I saw it the first time around among comedian-twitter and it seemed to get a good response. Really, this is more a sign that the idiot account managers at FuckJerry who are running Musk's twitter are getting lazy in finding material to steal.

my car performed brilliantly other than frequently trying to murder me and my family

quote:

Hello everyone,
Well, we just returned home from a 3200 mile road trip from Ottawa Ontario to Fort Lauderdale. Our model S performed brilliantly except for numerous phantom braking which put is in serious danger of being rear ended on the interstate highways. At least 5-6 times per day, the car would brake from 75 mph to 50 for no reason at all. This happened while on Auto Pilot and on regular cruise control. I would have thought that Interstate 95 and others would have been thoroughly mapped by now. It is my opinions that road elevation while driving by on/off ramps and bridges triggered the issue most of the time but sometimes it would brake while no trafic or obstructions were present.

I haven’t heard if this problem is being fixed but my 3 previous ICE cars with adaptive cruise control all performed much safer. Does anyone know if Tesla will be able to fix this?
