I seem to remember elon saying the pads will never wear out because regenerative braking will handle most of the work

the whole "any user input is an error" sounds like Elon adopted some AI team's internal "vision zero" equivalent to high AI quality ("the AI is so smart it knows what you want") which is pretty much impossible to attain--even a cab driver or chauffeur requires your input from time to time--and just decided to turn it into a marketing and quality control talking point. Like the equivalent is him going "ah I guess the type checker needs to be smarter" every time a car crashes.

maybe elon just sucks at everything. like he’s trying to make a grilled cheese sandwich and burns the poo poo out of it, so almost every human input is an error.

mystes posted:Lemon laws may help in this situation lemon laws typically require that the manufacturer fail to correct a defect x number of times. so she'll have to turn her car over to tesla service and have them gently caress it up multiple times (exact number depends on the state) before she's eligible for a new car or a refund (also dependent on the state).

Yeah I guess they don't cover the car not being fixed in a timely way at all, huh. If she's somewhere that allows it like California she probably should have returned it immediately but she didn't know what the problem was or that it would take forever to fix it I uess. mystes fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Jan 17, 2022 |

back in april, i had tesla service replace the left side upper control arm due to squeaking. the loaner tesla they gave me was in chill mode because apparently drivers were crashing model s p90ds while in ludicrous mode. any way, now the right side's squeaking. i used the app to schedule service, and the earliest is on the 7th next month. apparently tesla's been giving out uber vouchers instead of loaners. i'll just wfh if they make me use uber, gently caress that.

i suppose that one way to make good on the claim that owners would be able to use their car as a taxi using uber vouchers is clever for a short-term fix, seems like it'd get expensive or have weird caveats to avoid them being gouged with surge pricing

the vouchers are at a dollar amount. a coworker of mine just had his model s hauled off from his house due to a battery heater issue, and they gave him a $1,200 uber voucher. i wonder if he gets to keep the extra if his car's returned before it runs out.

ah, that's not too bad, then. well, not to bad because it's clear and a sizable amount i could see that being inadequate with a decent commute if service takes a while compared to a loaner

the voucher's nice for him since he can drive his pickup to work, and save the credit for date nights with his wife. i have just the car and a motorcycle in the winter so i just hope it's a beater loaner model s. edit: in my experience, tesla's been quicker than estimated when it comes to service. they'd ask me to pick my car up, and i'd be glad to since i don't want to drive around in a clapped out model s any way Nfcknblvbl fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Jan 18, 2022 |

Uber credits are not a replacement for a personal vehicle. If Tesla doesn't have enough cars to give you a loaner while they are repairing their busted vehicle under warranty, they should be paying for you to rent a gas car from Enterprise or whatever

i don't get the appeal of the model s. it's bigger than the 3 but that space isnt really usable. the visibility out of the s is so lovely, and the ride quality is very similar to a 90's lincoln town car. people buy the s just because it costs more i bet

Now, any government/state attorneys who are going after Tesla know that they have a 0% chance of ever landing a cushy corporate gig with them, so there is no need to play nice with a potential future employer. The firm clearly wants to keep this reputation, which is why they're willing to lose the Tesla business.

Sponsored project closeouts? Hired someone who worked opposite us at a federal agency. Federal Acquisitions Regulations? There's tons of contract officers out there! Handling intellectual law issues in Delaware? Georgia? Texas? Tons of expert government lawyers / clerks are looking for work. For a man who once bragged about how useful it is to have a Republican Senator on speed dial, it's amazing how little Elon understands about navigating American business. Christ Almighty until recently I could have Chuck Grassley be made aware of a sufficiently messy issue if I could get the empathetic ear of any one of several people I've worked for, and I'm just some policy/IT drone. loving Elon, man speak crudely and carry a large grift, I guess
