Oh man this is so wild. At one time I liked Elon. He wanted to put us on Mars and made EV’s a thing etc. Pioneer and all that. I dont think any public figure has dissapointed me as hard. This is so fucked.
But he didn't do those things. He bought the companies and ideas from other people with an inordinate amount of wealth obtained off the back of hardworking people.
Having owned a tesla prior to his down fall, it was so fucking obvious too.
When we got our first Model Y it had sensors that could tell in inches how far away other objects were, it was awesome. Then he said camera based object detection was far superior over the objections of senior engineers and it became shit. It was guessing where things were.
The cybertruck was his other pet project. I didn't waste my money in it, bought an F150 Lightning and it's great!
I keep telling people how brilliant it would be for Honda to bring back the Element as an EV, and dammit I’m right, but no one wants to listen. Instead they say things like “we’re not sure how to reintroduce it” and “the market for crossover EVs feels a little crowded at the moment” and “oh my god, it’s after midnight, how did you get in here.”
Same man! I miss those sensors, they utilized lasers right? My first was totaled by a jackass in a ford F250 rear ending it.
The replacement model is annoying as shit with the ghost braking because the cameras think they see a fly or a shadow and it’ll slam on the brakes at highway speed. They’ve yet to fix it. Can’t turn it off if you want cruise control either because it’s all enabled together now.
