Come for the video of a Tesla Robotaxi driving double the speed limit and hitting speed bumps like they are Mario Kart ramps…
… But stay for the conversation about social media silos and corporate disinformation campaigns!
I just read on the article about how all the “tesla influencers” are refusing to comment on news media and instead insisting they only talk about it on Twitter.
Couldn’t be more manufactured consent if they tried.
That part really pissed me off.
I think folks see it for what it is. Sales are cratering, public spaces that are not twitter are increasingly intolerant of the Tesla fanboys glazing the supposed tech advantage ( that we can see with our own eyes is not real )
Or they’re completely manufactured accounts.
Not mutually exclusive. Why not both?
Looking forward to the headlines: “Tesla Robotaxi passengers need medical attention after Robotaxi hits speed bump at 70mph”
Guy in a Dogecoin t-shirt and a neckbrace: “i-i-it was r-r-really great.”
I read that in RFK Jr.'s voice
Is he the one that sounds like he smokes 30 packs a day?
Yeah but he has a disease that makes him sound like that. If he weren’t such a terrible human being I would feel bad about making fun of him.
I don’t think he and Alex Jones sound exactly the same.
I don’t think Alex Jones has a disease that affects his voice, I think he just yells about psychic vampires so often that’s just what his voice has turned into.
We live in the dumbest timeline.
The sad thing is these things will probably not be taken of the road until a few dozen people have been run over.
They won’t be taken off the road. After the first passengers are hit, they will blame “jaywalkers” and suggest some kind of tracking tech we have to wear.
Tesla bros: “I heard that jaywalker was a TSLA shortseller.”
Oh, the US government is already proposing that.
And these greedy, unscrupulous, technofascist enabling influencers promoted it. This is our current normal apparently.I hate mainstream internet culture with a passion.
it was going at full speed while applying the brakes.
On the plus side these cars aren’t going to last long driving like this. They’re heavy too so speed plumps affect them even more harshly.
The true believers should volunteer to show off the Tesla’s obstacle detection by standing in front of them.
In reality it will be some mom with a van full of kids in front of them.
These things are gonna kill so many people…
Delamain this ain’t
is tesla == arasaka? But maybe not, because arasaka is actually competent
