Sure, the fine print might have said having your foot on the gas would shut down autopilot

The car tells you it won't brake WHILE you do it.

This isn't a fine print thing, it's an active warning that you are overriding it. You must be able to override it, its a saftey feature. You have to be able to override it to avoid any potential mistake it makes. Human input > level 2 input.

It's there every time you do it. It might have looked a little different in 2019, but as an example

Just a further follow up - you actually can appeal that the jury was just outright wrong, but that would be an ~~really hard~~ impossible case to win here, i doubt thats what they would try. But just as an FYI

https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/judgment_notwithstanding_the_verdict_(jnov)

A judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) is a judgment by the trial judge after a jury has issued a verdict, setting aside the jury's verdict and entering a judgment in favor of the losing party without a new trial. A JNOV is very similar to a directed verdict except for the timing within a trial. A judge will issue a JNOV if he or she determines that no reasonable jury could have reached the jury’s verdict based on the evidence presented at trial, or if the jury incorrectly applied the law in reaching its verdict.

edit: Added emphasis there as well, which they could maybe try I guess given their error of law comment.

Well, their lawyers stated "We plan to appeal given the substantial errors of law and irregularities at trial"

They can also appeal the actual awards separately as being disproportionate. The amount is pretty ridiculous given the circumstances even if the guilty verdict stands.

There was some racial discrimination suit Tesla lost, and the guy was awarded 137 million. Tesla appealed the amount and got it reduced to 15 million. The guy rejected the 15 million and wanted a retrial on the award, and then got 3.2 million.

Why even stay there with 11 years experience. Unless you're a shitty server, or it's in some tiny town and this is the only option, I'm sure you could do a lot better at another better restaurant than waffle house with 5+ years on your resume.

And they deduct meals? Wtf.

This is correct. And when you do this, the car tells you it won't brake.

FSD wasn't even available (edit to use) in 2019. It was a future purchase add on that only went into very limited invite only beta in 2020.

In 2019 there was much less confusion on the topic.

This is gonna get overturned on appeal.

The guy dropped his phone and was fiddling for it AND had his foot pressing down the accelerator.

Pressing your foot on it overrides any braking, it even tells you it won't brake while doing it. That's how it should be, the driver should always be able to override these things in case of emergency.

Maybe if he hadn't done that (edit held the accelerator down) it'd stick.

Ya, that doesn't make a lot of sense... we need more numbers.

A battery might have 100mwh of storage, but only be capable of outputting at 1mw, that's 100 hours.

A different battery might have 1200mwh and can output at 400mw, that's 3 hours.

It's meaningless without the proper numbers.

Practically no one in the world who accepts payments for their online business directly integrates with visa or Mastercard. It's all 3rd party companies who integrate (because it's fucking hard and tedious) and then resell it in a nice easy package.

In almost all cases, any talk about payment processors, is them, not visa/Mastercard.

I wouldn't trust that Trump hasnt compromised whatever gets built to the core so it could be exploited in the future.

Tear it all the fuck down once he's out.

I think even if it was a money loser, I think CBS would likely have wanted to hold on to the #1 late night show for a long time, just for bragging rights. Being #1 in late night is also useful for cross-promotion. Colbert always interviews the stars of major CBS shows: Tracker, Ghosts, Matlock, NCIS, etc. And being the #1 show means it's the first place that Hollywood stars stop to promote their movies, etc.

Sounds like you don't have an MBA and don't like to ruin everything like they do because of it!

The numbers people can't even comprehend what you said sometimes.

Give it a few years and they'll be baffled by reductions everywhere else.

 

There was so much hate on Tesla for this saying it was all fraud, while Tesla was adamant it was just backlogged paper work.

Hopefully those who prejudged and were harsh to the company online about this incident, can come to see that not everything you read online is true, and that maybe, just maybe, you should actually wait for the final results before condemning a company for something like this, and stating it as fact.

I'm shocked... really, like, i 100% knew that was going to be in there article. So actually, I'm not shocked. Fuck you Alberta.

 

There's been a lot of talk about SMR's over the years, it's nice to see one finally being built.

Even if it comes in over budget, getting the first one done will be a great learning experience and could lead to figuring out how to do future ones cheaper.

Assuming it's on time, completion in 2029, connected to grid in 2030.

 

I hope everyone can now stop with all the it has no crumple zone so it's a death trap comments.

I guess that means doubling down on the pedestrian death machine now.

Full report is available from the website

Edit: Also the report is dated January 14th. This is before Trump.

 

So, the recall is more than the rear camera, there was a software/hardware combo problem that could cause the HW4 computer to short, which took out major functionality on the car without the computer.

The backup camera is part of what is lost, and is a mandatory safety feature, so the recall is technically because of that, even though it's much more than that.

What I find interesting is that this appears to be the 2nd recall where software has physically broken hardware which is a more uncommon type of recall. Lots of hardware problems that can be fixed with software, but not a lot of software problems breaking hardware.

The other one was on earlier Model 3's they were logging too much data, and they actually went through the lifespan of the memory in the vehicle. Once the memory was dead the vehicle had problems. The fix was to log less. They eventually had to address that, but it took a long time to properly acknowledge.

Tesla said a reverse current may occur while powering up the vehicle, which could cause a short circuit on the car's computer board and result in the rear-view camera becoming inoperative, the automaker said.

The automaker said the issue was the result of a sequence of specific software and hardware configurations, coupled with colder temperatures.

Tesla said it has already pushed a software update to vehicles that changes the vehicle power up sequence to prevent the shorting failure. Tesla will identify any vehicles with a circuit board issue and replace the car's computer if necessary.

The automaker launched an investigation after seeing an increase in car computer replacements relating to short circuit issues in November.

Tesla said it has 887 warranty claims and 68 field reports related to the recall but said it is not aware of any collisions, injuries or fatalities related to the condition

Tesla said Model 3, Model S and Model X vehicles in production also received a different car computer variant after Dec. 16 to address the issue.

The issue affects 2024-25 Model 3 and Model S vehicles and 2023-25 Model X and Model Y.

 

Having a discussion about turning radius of the EV trucks, and a person takes a radius for 2 vehicles, and then compares it to the turning circle of the 3rd.

I try to politely point out that the numbers he's comparing aren't the same, and then he replies that he "stands by the numbers I found"

The company’s letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated the door handles could allow water to enter the circuit board assembly, which may lead to the doors opening unexpectedly.

According to Volkswagen, the production halt could last until the beginning of next year as it works to resolve the issue.

 

This was a really good interview, worth the watch!

 

It doesn't say what was changed but that makes it a great price again.

It also really messes up the pricing between the 3 RWD which doesn't qualify and the AWD that does since it's only a 1k difference now. I wonder if we'll see them lower the RWD or potentially raise the AWD price?

 

So both Rivian and Tesla have or say they are going to have range extenders for their trucks, but in both cases even if they are removable and rentable they are huge as trucks are huge. In teslas case it seems to be a permanent change though.

What about commuter cars though?

One thing we really need is cheaper in city commuters and those don't need a long range. That brings costs down and gets more people into EVs, but those will get relegated to 2nd cars in many cases.

If those commuter cars could go to a shop and get an extender added in the trunk though that would make them much more capable of longer trips as well while keeping costs down.

If the battery rental is similar or less to renting a car for the same period then people would opt to use their own car for the longer trip and all the personal comforts that provides.

The batteries would be much smaller as well for a smaller vehicle.
