You’re fucking unhinged if you think that’s even remotely a reasonable take. I get this community is about decreasing our reliance on cars but that doesn’t give you a pass to be an insufferable piss baby when you get upset about something.
That driver isn’t single-handedly responsible for our car dependent society, so stop acting like they are and direct your frustrations somewhere more healthy.
Not really. A session token has a lot more entropy and is far harder to crack than a user's password. Session tokens shouldn't last forever but that's why rolling tokens are a thing. You should use a valid token to periodically refresh the token for a new one, and expire the previous one.
It's less secure to repeatedly sign users out and force them to request new session tokens by re-transmitting their password to the server. You want to reduce the amount of times you have passwords going over the wire (even if encrypted) and being stored in the server's memory.
We’ve known for years that the owner is a lying, creepy, out of touch dipshit and that it’s a very flawed car and the company will cut costs to save money on safety items, every time....
Absolutely nowhere does it say that the bumpers are held on with tape. Bumpers falling off was a real issue at one point, and it has been fixed by now. You can't just make up random extra bullshit and try to pass it off as "facts".
Exactly this. I expect to keep my Model Y around for a long time, but I'm excited about how much more developed the EV industry will be when it's time for me to buy my next car. More competition is always a good thing, and I'm hoping the new players in the EV space will either produce a better product than Tesla, or force Tesla to iron out more kinks in their products to stay competitive.
Yes, as someone who also purchased one. Premium connectivity is $10/mo or $100/yr and it does a lot more than give you access to live traffic. You can also use it to watch Netflix and Youtube, stream music, and straight up browse the web from the car's screen. If you don't want to pay for it you can hotspot the car to your phone.
I ordered when the wall charger was still included so I still got one.
I have no complaints about the interior, and anyone who was conscious during the test drive certainly knows what the interior looks like before buying one.
I own a Model Y, don't give a fuck what Elon does or says. I own a Ford too and couldn't tell you who the hell the CEO of Ford is. Their personal opinions have fuck-all to do with the product, in my opinion. I test drove one, loved everything about the car, the charging network is objectively better, and I'm a big fan of self driving so that's a bonus. I'm a little over a year into ownership and there's absolutely no complaints I have about the car, it's been a great experience.
Now the question is, why do you have such strong opinions about what cars other people buy? I've had a great experience with my Tesla and don't know of any better way I could've spent my money on a vehicle.
I'm not sure where you got this from? The rear bumper on the Model Y is held on with a couple bolts and industry-standard body clips. You can watch a disassembly video here:
That article you keep posting says nothing about the bumpers being taped on. It's also almost 3 years old and the problem was fixed long ago, so you should probably find a new "favorite Tesla fact".
The fact that you resorted to personally attacking @ANuStart instead of defending your "facts" with actual evidence says a lot.
I'm sorry you feel that way, but I truly believe you have a fundamental misunderstanding about what the Tesla premium connectivity subscription is for. Most vehicles don't come with a SIM card and LTE connection that you can use like a phone. It would be ridiculous to pay for premium connectivity in a vehicle that doesn't have those features, but Teslas literally have a cellular data connection. That poses a recurring cost to the carrier (in this case it's AT&T but paid thru Tesla), so it makes perfect sense for that to be a recurring cost to the end user.
Your car doesn't come with free oil changes or tires for life, so why would Tesla pay a similar amount indefinitely on all it's vehicles?
The thing gets me about the "$XX,000" battery replacement figure is that people are talking about the dealer quote for a battery replacement. If your vehicle is in warranty (and Tesla has an 8 year battery warranty), then the dealer replaces the battery for free. If it's not under warranty anymore, there's no reason to get your battery replaced at the dealer. Third party shops will do it for a fraction of the cost.

I started watching his channel back when he did the turn signal video a few years ago. I was skeptical at first because I had seen his videos pop up in my recommended a few times and wasn't interested in them, but after giving it a chance I love his content and watch most of his videos all the way through.
The only videos I haven't watched in their entirety are the ones on subjects I'm already pretty familiar with. It's hard to sit through 40 minutes of information you already know, but they're excellent for learning about new topics.

Yeah, James Cameron has been to the Titanic and back 33 times. And to the Mariana Trench, and who knows where else. It's not impossible to do it safely, but that requires spending money on the correct materials, listening to your engineers, cross checking with third party engineers, and not rushing things. Carbon fiber is a stupid material for a sub hull, using different materials with different expansion and contraction rates for your pressure vessel is a stupid decision, not having a way for the passengers to self-rescue is stupid, using a wireless controller without (multiple) hardwired backups is stupid.
The entire thing reeks of a CEO who doesn't want to take the time to do things properly in fear of investors losing interest. And I get that fear, I work for a small company as well (not building submarines) and you do have to move quickly with a lot of things. But you DON'T rush things when human safety is a factor.
That sub should have been remotely operated dozens of times and gone through multiple iterations before they ever let a living creature inside it. It should have been x-rayed between every dive to find microfractures in the brittle carbon fiber hull. Multiple prototypes should have been built and extensively tested to find flaws in the design or assembly process.
If anyone deserved to die down there, it's the CEO of the company who was on the sub. There have been multiple accounts of him blatantly disregarding safety regulations, recommendations by engineers, testing data, and they did not have the sub certified by any governing body before the trip. It's possible the passengers had no idea how badly planned the mission was, as it seems like all this information is only coming out just now.
Not entirely sure how possible this is, but it's a pretty large pitfall I just discovered.

This doesn't pertain to your comment in particular, but it's the first time I've realized a pretty significant issue with lemmy. I'm browsing from kbin, but when I click your link, it loads the page on your instance rather than loading the content in my instance.
This is something we need to figure out, it shouldn't be too complicated for instances to rewrite links and open the content "locally". If I want to interact with the post you linked, I have to copy it, paste it into my instance's search bar, find the same post, and then open it.
That's a pretty far cry from the convenience of just clicking a link.
