Fake it till you make it.

Or in this case, fake it you'll become it.

I think this needs further clarification

They have a problem with their wives being able to divorce them on their own.

That's nice to hear. Was worried they'd somehow stop that one too.

There's a lot of Tesla hate on build quaility on Lemmy/Reddit, but they actually have some of the most reliable power trains and exceptional software. There was some problems back in the very early days of the Model S with the 85kw/h packs, but they've moved beyond that now.

Given this is part of the power train, and software, it's right in line with their expertise.

Can we throw a slice of pizza in there?

What does that have to do with how a vehicle feels when driving it?

You don't require a credit card to develop, you require a credit card for publish.

AI can create faces and bodies that have never existed. From there it might just take a lot of prompt engineering, but to say you have to train it on CP is false.

Edit: Also that's only considering life like CP. There's the whole cartoon/manga side of things which IS purely fictional at all times but will get you sent to prison if transmitted over an open carrier.

It's really mind boggling how big that airbag recall is.

Now that it's available for sale, and ignoring the looks/stainless steel aspects, I think the biggest thing to be excited about is the steer by wire.

Reviews seem to be saying it drives exceptionally well because of it, and that'd really differentiate it from the other options.

Edit: the steer by wire with the 4 wheel steering.

A lot of people are declining a 20k markup for a foundation series.

A lot of people will also be declining since the prices don't match the initial specs, but we really don't have a clear picture on that yet.

Not only are you likely to get the most problems, you're usually paying more for them as well.

 

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.

Really cool look inside the factory!

 

I've been following the strike and sympathy strike happening against Tesla and the similarities to what happened with Toys R Us, and I'm left wondering why the financial sector in Sweden hasn't stepped in by now?

This has spread to multiple countries now, so it's not like this is day 1 of the strike.

Do they consider themselves some sort of thermonuclear option and would rather not get involved unless necessary for some reason?

If my understanding is right, they're what forced Toys R Us to sign an agreement since they couldn't effectively do anything like payroll anymore?

It seems like the logical next step to me at this point unless I don't understand something about how the sympathy strikes work there?
