Lambert does love the FUD-for-clicks trade. Every once in a while he posts something really stupid like this - I can't read his blog anymore for just that reason. "Now we learn that GM is also dipping its toes in the space, and it is directly affecting Tesla by doing so." Well, really...

Elon won't do it. Every time he's asked, he recounts the same sad story about a personal motorcycle wreck when he was young. Not going to happen at Tesla. Given that, the Cyberquad is actually quite a nice surprise! I've stared down this market so many times... nobody seems to want to build...

Yes, precisely that, and it makes me think we are at a point of needing investigations into the investigations. This has gone on long enough now, and it would not be the first time that disruption of an industry attracted corrupt minds to defend the status quo. The coal industry leaps to mind...

Judging by the posts above, I'm not the only one who felt grumpy when reading this article. Sensationalizing things in order to sell clicks is starting to get on my nerves. The author wrote the headline and then shaped the narrative in a sad attempt to support it. Happens all the time. I am...

I thought Electrek did a nice job with this: https://electrek.co/2021/06/28/tesla-massive-recall-china-adding-a-chime-when-activating-cruise-control/ So, yeah, adding a chime via an OTA update. I don't know how the TSLAQ crowd gets the press to do its bidding, but at least this time it has...

Yes, and consider that there is no particular reason for a "camera" to simply produce a human-viewable image. It isn't that expensive to go somewhat beyond the spectra visible to humans, and also supply a neural net with rich contextual data points like time of day, date, lat/long, simple...

They're made to Tesla's specs by a Chinese manufacturer (which is probably what Bose does too). I suppose the same could be said of the head unit and amps, in a way - they don't manufacture them in Fremont, just have someone who can do it cheaper build to a Tesla design. Tesla does write all...

Not sure about the air bags, though that sorta goes along with making their own seats and other interior stuff. The sound system is a hybrid - Tesla gets their radio tuners from a European company (though they're mostly manufactured in Mexico) and does not make their own speakers, either, but...

To be completely open about it, I do not like advertising. I don't like that it has crept, for example, very rudely into the "screen saver" produced by my Directv box. I don't like seeing it on the poles that hold up chairlifts at the ski slope. I don't like being yelled at by web sites about...
