I’m so sure that this will happen…

    Right… My favorite “promise” so far was the Tesla SpaceX edition (with rocket boosters or microjets or some shit, IDK doesn’t make sense) and die-hard fans defending this PR stunt as “the car that might fly”.

      The shortest distance between Tesla and your house is a full circle around the country.

        Also at the odometer rate of Tesla Miles, where the warranty runs out faster.

      Assuming there is any reality to this (big assumption), I assume you are looking at the distance to the nearest distribution center (so Tesla “Not a dealership for legal reasons”). So a lot closer to hundred than not.

      Mostly because Factory->House requires a lot of automated charging technology. Whereas Factory->Truck->Dealership->House still lets them take advantage of scale (a truck truck) and can go on a single battery charge.

        Yeah, I live like 10 miles from a Tesla dealership, about 1k from a Tesla factory. If having the car drive to me is cheaper than loading it on a truck and taking it to my local dealership, I’m fine with it having 1k miles.

        This is all hypothetical though. There’s no way this timeframe is happening.

    He forgot to give us the point values…

    • Child - 20 points
    • Cat - 10 points
    • Dog - 15 points
    • Adult - 25 points

    I wonder what they’ll offer in the Tesla rewards shop

          Yup, initially the first comment was not in a table but was a list in format “[run over]-[revard]”… Stupid me, assumed these were penalty points.

          Then you changed it to the table format, I realised my mistake… And then had to learn how to put tablets to Lemmy comments (I didn’t know we could do that!)

            lol, glad I clarified it. I was going to leave it vague and then remembered tables.

            Also, yes. Markdown is the shit and I’m glad Lemmy didn’t try to reinvent the wheel!

    Tesla will begin its roll out of its self-driving Robotaxi fleet in multiple US cities in the months to come, already taking appropriate regulatory steps in both California and Texas.

    Anyone want to take bets on how many deaths/injuries will there be before they’re pulled?

    Infinite is valid all things considered.

      Not really. I mean that would require a timeline where humanity is both stupid enough to keep Tesla around and survives indefinitely which is highly unlikely.

          Okay, in that case I guess it is possible that we are stupid enough to keep them around and stupid enough to wipe ourselves out so soon that they will be around until the end of humanity.

        They won’t. Musk has a hard-on for doing everything with visible cameras for some stupid reason.

          Because he’s cheap and didn’t wanna spend the money. It’s why the interior is so plain for the amount of money you spend.

        Don’t be so sure about that. I mean you could be tricked into buying one, blackmailed into buying one,… but for them to be actually self driving would require Elon Musk to be correct about something and that is obviously fundamentally against the laws of nature.

          LoL, whoopsie doodles I accidentally bought a swasticar. I mean it’s not like I haven’t accidentally bought cars on at least 3 specific occasions in the past. Oh wait, it IS exactly like I’ve never accidentally bought a car in my life. Hmm, what are the statistics, tho? How many people have accidentally bought a car in the past? I suppose I could also win one in a raffle that someone entered me in, without my consent. A friend could just buy one for me. Anything can happen, it’s just that some things are far more likely.

    Everyone: Hey, I’ve seen this claim before! Elmo: What do you mean you’ve seen it? It’s brand new!
