At a monstrous environmental cost. Just TRANSACTING--not mining--one Bitcoin consumes as much energy as mining the equivalent value in gold. And at least gold has real uses, a BTC is just burnt energy and a hotter planet.

Yeah, and as several of my friends pointed out, there's no escape from a mob, a person with a weapon, etc. You are trapped. I *assume* but don't fully know, that I couldn't jump in the driver's seat and take over. I don't go into the Phoenix ghetto unarmed, so another question is who is...

These cars have a ridiculously huge array of sensors which Teslas don't have. And they run in a VERY VERY limited space that has been hypermapped in 3D down to centimeters of detail. These cars cannot function outside of their areas. Just North of downtown, and in part of Tempe. And yeah, I...

Someone said I sounded stressed out in this video, but I assure you, I was laughing more than anything. And excited to get to report a car bug. I was very disappointed that the customer service person is only there for safety, and didn't care one bit about the car problem. I'm in tech, and...

I suppose I should make a thread about when my Waymo flipped out because of a crazy homeless dude trying to get in the car? I assume most people here are interested in all self driving and EVs?

I have a good friend in the car AI division of a well know GPU maker. A couple weeks ago he spent five hours screaming at a car that got stuck on a stick in a diagonal parking space. Not like a log, but a little stick smaller than a pinky finger and a foot long. Couldn't get around it, hadn't...

That's a false assumption. We don't know if it can or not, we could also surmise that Tesla doesn't want the potential liability for such a useless feature. Do you have children? Have you ever noticed how many things they won't try, but then do just fine when they do?

"Doesn't even try" is very different from "can't." Does it try or not?

Two totally different things.

I think we're all aware that lots of people do lots of illegal things. I used to tow a 10' wide boat all over the country without permits. I even went so far as to ask cops about it. None of them knew the law on non-commercial towing and permits, not a single one. So I stopped bothering with...

The Mach-E has a button that fully pops the door, and a small pull area (handle I'd say). I was hoping the 3's new feature would fully pop the door. Our objection is getting into the car with stuff in our hands, it's a real annoyance. It's also a great first world problem that when people ask...

In the US, you do have to "de-commercialize" these trucks, at least in some states. Possibly federally. I don't know the exact law, but two friends have gone through it. There are outfitters to remove some things to make them fall under 26K GVWR. I think they remove one axle, along with...

It's unclear whether that's actually a functional pull-only handle. I do wonder if it would help.

They suck so much, worst part of the car. There's no getting used to them. I tried the new opening feature, and it only opens to the safety stop. Useless.

I suppose one of the few things more boring than CT news is sportsball stuff.

The chances of you being able to buy a Tesla semi in the next three years is probably zero. Five years...I have my doubts still.

Zero chance of my door handles freezing, but I would like to use it so I don't have to deal with the stupid design of the door handles. Number one thing the wife and I would change on the car. I haven't checked to see whether the Watch app has it so I can just speak the command.

Just bored, and don't really care. The more time moves on, the less I feel like I need it.

He doesn't have a Tesla, that's the problem.

It's amusing how many people seem to simply be offended at the idea of Tesla holding their $100 and failing on their promises. If $100 changes anything for you, then you weren't a CT customer to start with.
