Tesla has just officially confirmed that the driver of the Model 3 that crashed into a home in Texas manually overrode the vehicle's self-driving system by pressing the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle struck the home at 73 mph. A lot of mainstream media wrongly mislead people into thinking that it was the vehicles fault.
Case closed.
This blatantly irresponsible reporting does more harm to people than they realize.
Using Tesla self-driving is far safer than manual driving, and this was measured over 10B miles.
Planting such FUD in the minds of general public, who might not know the all the facts, might prevent them from using this technology that makes them safer.
@quantumfiber I got an advertisement for $45 for Gigabyte internet. Excited I chatted with an agent who quickly said I cannot take advantage of it unless I cancel my existing quantum service and reapply for this new offer!!!!!! Is this the only option?
@JonFreier@TMobile Just back from a funeral and gives a huge appreciation for every blessing we have for granted. Family who looks out for you, friends who share a light moment, colleagues who empower each other and tiny humans whom we call kids making every single moment with them precious.
@elonmusk I think you dropped the ball for Q3. There were no cars in any showrooms. Countless first time shoppers stopped by and had no cars even to test drive!! You could have easily sold > 500k last Quarter.
@itskyleconner can you please help Colorado folks to get some good deals KiaFortCollins or any other EVs before the Federal EV incentive ends in 20 days!!
@SawyerMerritt So I can get a ModelY for $35000(with state and federal incentive) or I get no incentives and spend over 100k on a slightly larger car!!
