That’s what fucks me up here! XD
Tesla is probably the most closely watched auto manufacturer on earth. And it’s mostly fans! So like, friendly faces doing hypermileage content or commenting to other friendly fans about their fuel savings…
The video I linked is literally a Tesla fan being like "oh wait, it skipped a mile, what the fuck, did it always do that?"
Very accurate. Most anti-tamp protections watch for lowering. Because who in their right mind would increase the mileage, right? :)
No reasonable manufacturer would do that. A manufacturer would be caught if they did that and – oh wait shit that’s exactly what happened
It’s trivially easy to discover odometer tampering in the USA, and the law is actually enforced.
Carfax, for instance, will automatically flag if any data point has the odometer lower its mileage. Each time a car is brought in for service or sold, the mileage is recorded. If any of the datapoints do not advance logically, the car is flagged and all sorts of liability questions arise.
If Carfax can purchase the data, I’m certain that insurers do, too. Insurance is legally mandatory, and the corporations don’t want to cover the cost of insuring a car with a cooked odometer (and unknown true mileage).
I mean this utterly unironically: I’m glad :)
Can’t argue with that XD
His main deal is that he does Tesla stuff. His website is “Tesla Pittsburgh,” so yeah, he’s a Tesla guy.
T.I.L. :) Thanks!
That’s brand new to me! Both the symbology and the magazine, and I love them both. Thanks!
That was not the loudest laugh I’ve had today, but definitely the morally worst laugh I had today, so cheers XD
I should mention, my Spanish is good enough that I can say “Real Hasta La Muerte” does not mean just “Till Death.”
It means “Royal until death.”
And Royal (Real in Spanish) is the name of the largest football club out of Madrid, so there is a very high likelihood that it just means “I like this football club until I die.” Their symbol is a crown, which is separately claimed as a Tren de Agua symbol, and so Real fans might be gettin swept up in ICE raids in the USA.
It would be funny if the victims weren’t getting indefinite stays in a foreign gulag, but that is where it stands today.
Disbanded!
… for effieciency!
Savage, love it.
You’re thinking the EB-5 visa program, I think. That was the fifth “employment based” visa.
You’re sort of right, but your numbers are off. It’s $1.8 million in cash, but the real kicker is that you need to sustain those 10+ permanent US employees through your investments. Been a popular program since 1990, about 12,000 folks use it a year lately. It’s still a thing, you can apply for one today.
“Manipulated 2 sentences,” as in, they played a recording of him saying what he said.
No shit on that yikes. That blew my fucking mind.
Half the time when your AEB activates, you are unconscious or dazed and you’re just flailing around your cabin like a rag doll, because you’ve crashed. If your foot happens to flail into the accelerator, get ready for a very exciting (if short-lived) application of that impressive 0 to 60 time.
They call it the Model 3 because the Tesla Organ-Harvester didn’t translate well to Chinese
Yeah, I think smart/honest engineers do it exactly like that.
The GPS validates the physical rotation data, corrects for errors. That’s why the standard of accuracy has improved in the last 10 years.
