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.

iirc theres some sort of challenge/auth with the car before itll start dumping that sweet sweet electricity

also musk thought robots were magic and could assemble 100% of the car and move so fast you can't even see them clearly and the only reason people weren't already using robots like this was other companies were too silly and old fashioned and needed ~disrupting~

i don't want that point to ever be lost, musk genuinely believed he could hit all those absurd goals he set because he took the idea "robots are magic god-creatures that are only ever artificially held back by humans" as clear, obvious fact without question

well duh, hes a firm believer in roko's basilisk
to him, all computers are magic

they are hover cars that float at ten feet so people can walk under them and when they crash they fall to the ground under the flow of traffic

Also there are "no repairs" and no oil changes, which is apparently some huge deal to so many people.

Even around here an oil change cost like 35 bucks and takes 20 minutes, but I guess that's a big deal if you have to do 11 of them a year

it is pretty nice to not have to worry about pretty much all maintenance
