Well, that and the cybertruck is a piece of garbage

I didn’t know at the time, years ago. I was just like “OMG Delorean truck!”

Bullet dodged.

The delorean was notoriously a lemon as well

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago

But at least is was a lemon with style.. unlike the Cybertruck ;P

Most of its issues were fixed by vin 3000 or so (out of about 9000 total). It was 90% brilliant, but the last few details and forced design changes just killed it.

John Delorean was also a coked up fascist dick weasel

Not even a bullet, just a small steel ball.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

So ye olde bullet. Musket ball as it were.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

You know, I think that Musk wanted Cybertrucks to be bulletproof for the same reason I don't worry about mine being bulletproof:

If you're not a huge piece of shit, people won't be taking potshots at you.

Dodged a rusty car panel slicing your hands.

I thought all drive-by-wire was illegal because of the lag. 1/8s does seem very possible to make a difference between life and death.

The article listed another car with 0.28s lag as responding faster. Do you know if that's a typo or is my brain not working?

Thank you for sharing this. I don't want a car with that much lag on the controls. It sounds like it isn't just Tesla, it is something you need to check on any model EV.

No idea if it's a typo, sorry. But that lag is scary as hell.
