@aral I hear new Teslas will only go 600m per day. Although they’ll go 6000m if you pay Musk an extra $8 per month.

@craiggrannell @aral Is that metres or miles? ;-)

craiggrannell, 10 months ago

@PaulNickson @aral Metres. And no-one will need to go further than 6km, right? That way lies madness.

PaulNickson, 10 months ago

@craiggrannell @aral And beyond that, the intended destination. Definitely madness.

@aral we were looking at a tesla home battery. It came off the list when he bought twitter.

pentney, 10 months ago

@aral you mean, imagine him deciding to limit all Teslas to X miles per day via software update for some very bad reason? I could, in fact, easily imagine him doing such a thing

@aral Imagine getting into a spaceship by Elon! It's terrifying.

@aral the series of accidents with those "auto-pilot" software should have given a hint.

The incompetence is deliberate.

Saudi despots and the oil industry does not want an America that has a functioning democracy and a successful transition to renewable energy.

So they helped Musk buy Twitter. They are bringing Tesla along the way as they dismantle it piece by piece too.

The Russians and Chinese don't want a American space program so they're bringing down SpaceX too.

With Musk's willing participation.

@aral I think both Tesla and SpaceX have built effective firewalls around Musk. Twitter is an exercise in OpenMusk.

@aral Imagine if this Tesla owner had been locked inside his vehicle in the heat instead of locked out.

@aral I have this image of a Tesla, on autopilot, on fire, driving around in circles.

abcxyz, 10 months ago

@aral well there is definitely a difference between the engineers at Twitter and Engineers at Tesla or SpaceX.

But you are right. Twitter is currently in incompetent hands. Even the new CEO will take a while before sorting the mess the company faced in 2020

thecyberjudas, 10 months ago

@aral >Can you imagine getting into a car made by a company run by someone this incompetent?

Yes, but with a few small, barely noticable changes.

@aral in a few years:

New Tesla owners can only drive 30 kmph. Non-Twitter Blue drivers can go to 50 kmph. Twitter Blue drivers can drive up to 120 kmph. But only for 25 km. Yes, a Twitter account is mandatory. Even for passengers.

And Space X? If you miss a payment to Twitter Blue on your way to Mars, you will be thrown out and will have to take the Tesla launched into space years ago.

Spacelink would also require a Twitter Blue account, which you cannot create without Spacelink.

@aral My 2017 purchase of a Chevy Bokt #EV over a Tesla is looking better all the time!

@aral or, better yet, letting them put implants in your brain?😱😱😱

toallpointswest, 10 months ago

@aral I really had my eye on a Tesla ... until his unraveling at Twitter

Life_is, 10 months ago

@aral

Actually they made car owners have the car software replaced with a software that is not better. But now owners can no longer prove that the old software was illegal.

Warbird, 10 months ago

@aral To be fair he's no longer the CEO, just the owner. It's run by Linda Yaccarino these days.

Life_is, 10 months ago

@aral

You mean TruthGPT scrapped the data from Elon, Twitter, Tesla, spacex and the boring company?

jonoabroad, 10 months ago

@aral remember he doesn't write the code at any of these places.

At least X and T have regulars who will hopefukeep the idiot in check.

hotsaucefire, 10 months ago

@jonoabroad @aral hate musk but love the cars myself.

jonoabroad, 10 months ago

@hotsaucefire @aral

I don't mind the car, very much dislike Musk and am not in a position to get rid of the car.
