Fuck, now I need a donut

It was the fuck-aroundiest times, it was the find-outiest times

Thought crossed my mind.

I was going to joke “look, keys in the ignition!”

Of course they don’t have keys, A Tesla truck would be dumb like that.

They got a keycard, like a hotel. Trivially easy to duplicate, you can do it right through the center console, so god have mercy on your soul if your auto detailing guy wants to take your truck out for a joyride, because he totally can.

Chill, Double Muse - I’m just the messenger.

The initial reporting on this story was a mess. Nobody knew what happened, Elon was on Twitter saying the whole thing with vandalisms was funded by the Democratic party and ActBlue specifically (a line that Trump has since picked up on to launch an investigation into ActBlue).

I thought y’all might be interested to know what actually happened out there, because it was Cybertruck-related and loose ends bother me more than your average human. So, it’s unknown suspects, but arson suspected, no evidence of any motive whatsoever, but it wasn’t like, the batteries blowing up on their own.

IDK, I like to know this stuff. Am I totally off base here? My bad if it is not of interest.

It should come with a frequent flyer program… buy 10 rides, get 1 free, punch card sort of deal.

It’s Dr Jekyl’s truck.

Looks? Cheap. Price? Expensive. Build quality? Cheap. Depreciation rate? Expensive.

They really ought to have picked one, anybody can run this scam once, but consumer sentiment builds fast and rebuilds slow.

"that hits different. " - Elon Musk stumbling out of the Tesla adhesives research lab.

Mighty bold of you to assume Optimus can do anything of economic value XD

Look at the article, it shows the install process. They glue that shit on by hand. Direct plastic-to-glass bonding, quality stuff there.

They didn’t do fasteners because stainless steel is tough/expensive to machine… machinists are expensive and gluers are minimum wage.

Should have known their tank from the future would react poorly to being assembled using Bazooka Joe bubblegum. Tanks hate bazookas!

And to think… the dog already loved car rides, just imagine when they think Honda Civics are some sort of carniceria on wheels

That’s my exact reaction to Waymos (also San Francisco). Both surreal and probably the direction of all automotive transit.

Seriously! Amazing.

For me, my commute is easy, but I like road-tripping. I’ve got a flight ceiling of about 6 hours where it stops being fun. I’ve got a destination about 12 hours out that I love (Hot Springs AR, it rocks). I’d go to Hot Springs way more often if I didn’t need to drive it, or even if I could flip a switch and take a break safely.

So, they do have details in the source docs: they specifically reference both ADS and ADAS.

ADAS is currently a Tesla FSD-type experience. You need an attentive human in the driver’s seat (for now). It’s a driver’s aid.

ADS is the wild west. That’s what Waymo currently provides in their autonomous fleet. No occupants, no problem.

I am stoked to see how it does what Toyota trucks do best, which is hauling trailers and going either down rough roads or going entirely off-road. I wasn’t mentally ready for this news today, so I have no idea what this means for the fully off-road experience.

Goddamnit, that’s the worst laugh I’ve had today. By all qualitative and moralistic measuring, the worst

big if true

I thought it was a little sus when I saw this in the C-Span footage of JD Vance visiting the pope

Welcome to Texas, where speeding and open-carry are fine but cussing is strictly prohibited :D

I hear he fucked the Pontiff’s couch after poisoning him.

IDK, they fired all the fact checkers and the blue checks don’t mean anything anymore, so I guess it might be true?
