Yes, and I was applying your logic of imminent bans to the current leading cause of deaths.

I don't think we have seen almost any material of the back seats after the beta prototypes, and certainly not of the RCs. It seems like Tesla is quite intent on keeping that area out of view (with even Franz guiding someone away from filming into that space).

I think you're looking at it wrong. On the top, notice the darkened area of the glass. That's where the regular windscreen bit ends, so on the driver side the gigawiper wipes well past that. On the passenger side I believe the yellow lines contain the inside of the A-pilar, so is also not...

It's interesting that the Cybertruck has a window or windows open in so many of the shoots we've seen. Perhaps the air conditioning hasn't been installed yet in these ones? Though that would be a bit surprising if they are RCs.

You mean like how firearms are the leading cause of death for children in the US, and so everyone is working hard to get tighter controls for them? To be honest, FSD is still a long way from being able to work as a general-purpose, all-conditions, all-situations driver, despite Elon's annual...

They’ll have to adjust then for the Finnish market. No way folks here will accept a lame infrared thing. Proper wood burning stove or gtfo.

Agree with this sentiment. Unfortunately all the talk of things like steering by wire and braking by wire doesn’t sound inspiring in terms of simplicity and field repairability.

Better be careful not to start thinking about your last GTA session.

Unlike seemingly many here, I actually like driving. I’m not particularly keen on systems that take driving pleasure away.

I think you have your wipers on backwards here. They would usually wipe the other way so as to clear as much as possible from the driver side.

Precisely. So once again some just ‘happens’ to come by a Cybertruck and yet doesn’t take a picture of the one area Tesla doesn’t want people to see yet. But I’m sure it’s just a coincidence ;)

Yes, this is exactly what I’m worried about.

I’m guessing the dial is still physical? Big difference in having something you can grab and switch without looking at it rather than having to look at a screen and have no tactile feedback.

I don’t have an issue with there not being a mechanical connection between the drive selector and the drive (indeed having one wouldn’t make much sense). But I do have an issue with not having a physical control to control it (stalk, lever, or similar). Even operating wipers on a Model 3 is a...

I mentioned size just because I would imagine that in a vehicle much larger, it gets increasingly complex to have physical linkage, so the argument for not having it seems to have won for Airbus. This probably isn't the place to debate the AirFrance accident, or others, other than it was...

Size does matter in the sense that the bigger the vehicle, the more difficult it is to have mechanical connections. I'm happy to be corrected on steering feedback. I can understand for small aircraft (where I would definitely want a physical link and strong feedback), but imagined it's not...

You mean on an airline with planes that are dozens of times the size of a Cybertruck, with meticulous test and maintenance schedules, flown by professional pilots, where steering feedback is not a concern, which do actually have physical direction controls, and where, despite all that, the lack...

Why? Things like brake by wire, steer by wire are concerns that could end up being a deal breaker for me (ie complete reliance on computers doing their thing). No physical drive selector is another potential deal breaker.

It’s a fair point that it may be available in Canada and Mexico even if they don’t sell it in Europe or other countries. So-called full size trucks are extremely rare here, and grey imports at least in Finland (I did see one Lightning). Pickups in general aren’t common, even as work vehicles...

Yes, initially reservations were open globally, and I have one. Currently they are not. They closed them down internationally but it was quite some time after the launch (a year or so after), so it’s unclear how to read that. If they came out and said openly that international isn’t happening...
