xealous: as a heads up, someone's stuck all your posts on twitter and they're getting attention. hope you're serious about that NDA expiry.

atomicthumbs: idk why you cropped out the username, this forum is open to the internet and the moment google indexes the last few pages an exact-text-search will get you here. not that it really matters cause there's enough content in the posts to ID xealous to tesla anyway

man twitter is so dumb this isn't even news. big shock - a large company has some issues with development and some of the issues were lol bad but I guarantee you the technical issues i posted are long gone now

bringing up hardware is always messy and with tight deadlines, poo poo happens, so to be real for a moment: in my opinion tesla is shipping good (model s/x) products, they are road safe and tested, there are growing pains, quality pains and such but nothing they can't fix. model 3 is another story, I hope they fix it

honestly i started out really liking working there and I feel like my 8 years there had an impact and tesla to this day is still full of good folks doing the right thing. i know for a fact all the crap i worked on is probably gone by now as it should be - they are evolving. you'll notice they haven't had further incidents like the thing I posed earlier with the reboot loop, so at the very least rca's are paid attention.

most of tesla's problems are self-imposed management style issues, they'll be forced to fix them at some point, one way or another, but that's up to the board

So, I found this thread thanks to twitter, and I know this is an older post of yours, but as an EE, this scares the ever living gently caress out of me.

Please tell me they had some sort of protection that kept the superchargers from activating accidentally, like say if some kid touched the prongs.

i want u all to imagine that if this thread somehow becomes part of anything legal then someone somewhere is going to very seriously ask the question "What is YOSPOS and what does it stand for?"

Yeah... holy poo poo they were using openvpn unencrypted to send data back forth from the cars... just wow. And the whole thing about a bad update almost causing the entire fleet to go into a reboot loop. Where TF is QA on that one... But that being said, posting this kind of stuff on the internet is a really bad idea. Anyone can complain about poorly designed systems. A good employee will take on the work to fix it.

tesla had less fatalities than usual until autopilot - I'm a firm believer they oversold the thing, in marketing speak, in what it could do, in how you should treat it. excluding autopilot there were stories of people smashing into brick walls at 80mph and walking away, but any car you abuse could kill you or someone else

Sagebrush posted:

this is kind of a specious statement

he survived a horrific accident in his tesla, maybe he would have been just as well off in a gas car, maybe not. too many variables.

again, reddit didn't read. the warning was for charging them _all the time_ on the supercharger which tesla has already publicly disparaged anyway. I don't even know if that old policy applies to paid-for supercharger subs - it may not

but as long as we're being naughty, i can tell you all that elon isn't his real name. it actually stands for "everybody loves open networks", a nod to his love of terrible security
