I'm sorry the what

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS

Heard about the accelerator pedal cover, hadn't hear about whatever that highlighted abomination is.

my dad keeps saying he admires muskrat's innovation and willingness to put products out that are still in the test phase so he can learn what the bugs are as they're being used

i'm like maybe, and hear me out here. but maybe we shouldn't test phase things where actual lives are at risk and they should be fully tested and bug free when produced

or like

if that's gonna be his business model

fuck you, pay people to drive your shitty cars

also he should maybe ease back off the ketamine until "mount backup gear shift on transparent surface ALIGNED WITH THE SUN" starts to sound like the terrible idea that it is

because this would still be a terrible idea if he didn't also install the sun visors through it

THE FUCK

and people want to let this fucknut build rockets

and many of them want to ride those rockets

this is that Seagate all over and honestly? I'm willing to let the rocket happen

I noticed that gear change in the tiktok about the touchscreen that went dead after a car wash

the lack of any info on the dashboard was also giving me anxiety

Ayasugi_san: and that's still an ongoing problem, but the good news is that if you ever do take your stupidly overpriced electric shitbox through a car wash, it voids the warranty

I thought the good news was that the mandatory complete recall means they'll have to fix the touchscreen even though the car wash voided the warranty

well not unless their legal team fucked up

can't have anything that'd help the customer for free, I mean

who would do that

remember the Musk episode of The Simpsons. and how it was a major plot point that he didn't care about making money

Yeeeeah that isn't a portrayal that's aged well

.... chalk another one up on Tesla's WHY THE FUCK ARE THESE THINGS NEEDLESSLY COMPLICATED!!!1! Why the hell would you not -want- some sort of physical, analogue gear shift!? Again, like the freaking door handles... did someone not like the _aesthetic_?! Do people not think you need something a little more stable/stronger in an emergency or something?!

Why PUSHBUTTONS?!

When it comes to shifting the gears in my car, from things like park, reverse, drive... I want something I can physically MOVE... to make sure I've set it to the correct gear! Not a button to push and -hope- the push actually registered, or that it hasn't glitched out.

[insert "old lady yells at cloud" image here]

"it's not overcomplicated, it's streamlined! now you can control everything through the touchscreen! there's no downside!"

At least the people at SpaceX know he's an idiot. He's a useful idiot that gets them attention and funding. Useful as a face. But they keep him FAR away from the actual building and designing of rockets.

Tesla need to learn that same lesson,.

yes they do

I think they hoped that him being involved with Twitter would help

If the asshole slept, maybe it would.

fair
