Transporting a minor in a Tesla is child endangerment.

Any time I call an Uber and get a Tesla I automatically deduct a point. I hate being in those things.

I think the only rational thing to do, is ban AI from cars.

Also, ban Tesla from roads.

[-] northernlights@lemmy.today 4 points 5 months ago

Just ban fucking AI, it clearly does way more harm than good.

Every tesla is A death trap. Stop buying that shit.

[-] BouteilleBrune@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

the door handles stopped working, what a stupid feature and nightmare

makes me wonder, couldn't someone or something remotely hack a car to kill its passengers?

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca -5 points 5 months ago

you can open the doors without the power handles. Keep in mind this is version from a lawyer, the same people who fabricated "unintended acceleration" claims.

[-] Seleni@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

Sure you can—but you have to take the door panel off first. Because Tesla is shit.

Here, the fine manual: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-A7A60DC7-E476-4A86-9C9C-10F4A276AB8B.html

It would be nice if we could stick to the facts instead of making wild assertions.

For the Model 3, the front seats have a pull handle by the window control that will open the door even without power. This is in an obvious and intuitive location, and should be known to any owner who has spent a few minutes reading the manual and studying the capabilities of their vehicle. The rear seats do not have an exposed pull handle, but there is an emergency release under the door pocket liner.

Complete guides to all Tesla manual door release controls exist and are available.

The only model where the emergency release is hidden behind a door panel is the Model X, where the rear seats hide the emergency release cable behind a speaker grille.

There are perfectly fair and valid criticisms to level at Tesla, but when people repeat uninformed FUD instead of sticking to the facts it makes it easy to write off their opinions are worthless.

It would be very fair and reasonable to question or criticise:

  • Why the rear seats in the Model 3 do not have an immediately obvious emergency release.
  • Why it’s not always possible to open the car doors from the outside after a crash (IIRC they should auto-unlock after an accident but this depends on them still being powered)
  • Why all of the large windows are laminated, making it hard to break them in the event of an accident (citation needed for the Model 3, this may only be the Model Y. Also it’s for soundproofing.)
  • Why the CEO chucked out two Nazi salutes…

But saying “you have to take the door panel off first”? Incorrect and uninformed, sorry.

No. There is an emergency release handle that is mechanical. Passengers tend to find that instead of the normal button.

[-] Seleni@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

You mean the one inside the speaker? Or under the carpet? Or simply nonexistent in some models? Fuck the people especially in the back seat I guess

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world -2 points 5 months ago

All 4 doors on my car have a manual emergency release on the door handle.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

And my car has normal fucking door handles.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I'm just correcting your assertion that they have emergency release under the carpet or in the door panel. I am not making any judgement about the door handles.

[-] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 2 points 5 months ago

Are we talking about the inside or outside? How can the emergency services open the door of a crashed car if there is no handle?

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I'm specifically talking about the release so occupants can get themselves out.

[-] TwilitSky@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

To be fair, it did drive itself.

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

I've heard of "father-son bonding", but this is ridiculous!

[-] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

So do all teslas come with bullet resistant glass? Would a regular glass breaker work? What about the cattle killer from no country for old men? That seems like it would be the best tool for first responders.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

But how many trees would the median driver have soberly slammed into with their son on average!?! Huh?!? Huh?!?!

/s (In case you need it)

[-] Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Nice, we got a bull and a veal!

If people choose to put their lives into the hands of a ketamine junkie...

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
