#Tesla#EVs#AI#Autopilot#SelfDrivingCars: "Tesla Inc. must face a proposed class-action lawsuit alleging that it misled consumers about its cars’ self-driving capabilities, a fresh setback for the electric-car maker just as Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk has staked the company’s future on autonomy.
Tesla has been accused of overstating in 2016 that all its upcoming cars would have the “hardware needed for full self-driving capability” and would be able to drive themselves from Los Angeles to New York City by the end of 2017.
“If Tesla meant to convey that its hardware was sufficient to reach high or full automation,” the complaint “plainly alleges sufficient falsity,” US District Judge Rita Lin wrote in an order Wednesday."
Record scratch! Tesla in court said the lack of LIDAR should have made their FSD claims being BS self evident?!?! Have they added ditched the camera only plans because they sure as hell never dropped claims of having FSD “next year” as recently as last month. Granted they never applied for more than Level 2 while claiming they had Level 5 already (at the Semi event) or will have it “next year” for almost ten years now. They are way past needing a legal and liability comeuppance. #tesla arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…
Oooh. Entgegen anderslautender Behauptungen ist die Mehrheit der demokratisch gewählten Gemeindevertreter in #Grünheide für die Erweiterung der #Tesla Fabrik. Dann müssten die Blockaden jetzt beendet werden, oder?
Grünheide: Gemeindevertreter stimmen für Erweiterung des Tesla-Geländes
Tesla kann sein Werksgelände in Grünheide erweitern - dafür hat eine Mehrheit der Gemeindevertreter gestimmt. Sie entschieden über einen angepassten Bebauungsplan. Gegner der Pläne protestierten vor Ort.
Tesla was selling $700 sledgehammers that can't actually be used for its intended purposes to break stuff. You can display it or use it in the gym. 🙄 I say it was because it's currently sold out. I bought my sledgehammer from Ace Hardware for about $660 less than the Cyberhammer, and it can actually break concrete, be displayed, and used in the gym. 😉
The mass layoffs and downscaling of Tesla charging network team and plans is even more bizarre as more details come out. It was their one actual differentiator. They are in the position to be essentially the gas station company of EVs. These changes undermine all of that and contrary to Musk's tweets thy aren't reversing course on it at all. Again though, what will happen to their contractual obligations to the US government that just gave them yet another boat load of money to build out more stations? Are they going to take the money and run with it like they did to California way back in the day? #tesla#ElonMusk The inside story of Elon Musk’s mass firings of Tesla Supercharger staff
Tesla charging chief Rebecca Tinucci cut 15-20% of her team after Musk demanded it.
She felt that would justify a major Supercharger network expansion, but when she met with Musk he wanted more layoffs. When she pushed back, he fired the whole team.
Remember all the times Elon Musk said Tesla is so amazing for the environment? The company is being sued for violating the Clean Air Act hundreds of times in recent years by emitting harmful pollutants from its Fremont factory into nearby neighborhoods.
If you own a Tesla, your car is covered in cameras that take images reviewed by Tesla employees, who share them with each other, joke about them, and make them into memes.
