More lies from a fraud

Aka they save on delivery costs and your new car racks up miles on your own dime before you even get to drive it.

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 76 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Imagine it gets into an accident lol.

Who gets charged?

If you thought insurance was expensive before....

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago

"we planned for this edge case, and have programmed the vehicle to quickly leave the scene of any accident where a driver is not present. by accepting delivery (by purchasing a vehicle) you accept that all vehicles are sold as-is. tesla insurance customers get half-off repair claim deductibles for the first 7 days."

Surely it would be Tesla since you don't actually have possession of it, right? Right??

Yeah, no.

That would be true if any of this self driving shit actually existed, but it doesn't. Elmo lies. A lot. About everything. So this? He's just lying again .

And also, who doesn't want hundreds to thousand of miles put against your warranty.

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Assuming there is any reality to this (big assumption), I assume you are looking at the distance to the nearest distribution center (so Tesla "Not a dealership for legal reasons"). So a lot closer to hundred than not.

Mostly because Factory->House requires a lot of automated charging technology. Whereas Factory->Truck->Dealership->House still lets them take advantage of scale (a truck truck) and can go on a single battery charge.

Anytime Elon says anything about Tesla with a timeframe, you can guaran damn tee that it will not happen within that time frame.

Yet another lie.

The shareholders should sue.

[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

Tesla lost 6% of its value today so I'm sure Elmo felt compelled to find something to pull out of his ass.

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He's always lied about the self-driving capabilities of the cars and promised timelines that have never held. Print this statement out and use it as toilet paper

Tesla will begin its roll out of its self-driving Robotaxi fleet in multiple US cities in the months to come, already taking appropriate regulatory steps in both California and Texas.

Anyone want to take bets on how many deaths/injuries will there be before they're pulled?

Infinite is valid all things considered.

MY new Tesla? Doubt it. Considering I'm unemployed due to this clown administration and I don't tend to upgrade much of anything, let alone a vehicle, unless/until the old one no longer functions.

... Even assuming the self driving tech was actually capable of doing this, which is won't be...

How would this even make any sense?

Ok, if you live within about 200 to 300 miles of a Tesla factory, ... you have this option?

Fremont, California; Sparks, Nevada; Austin, Texas; Buffalo, New York; Lathrop, California.

Outside of 250 miles ish of one of those places? No self driving delivery for you.

... And I am pretty surr not all models are made at all those locations.

Despite long ago claiming his EVs and charger network would be capable of automatically recharging or battery swapping themselves... to make a long distance journey... that ... doesn't exist, he abandoned all of that.

Even funnier: Imagine a tesla self driving from the as of yet to be completed gigafactory in Monterrey Mexico... through the border checkpoint.

The auto charger network doesn't exist, the car would murder people, cause an accident or fucking explode in the border queue... and even if none of that happened... how in the fuck is a self driving car gonna get through a militarized border crossing?

If he just gives himself a waiver via DOGE for his cars... congrats Elon, you are now a drug trafficker / arms smuggler, whether you know it or not.

... fucking lunacy.

He forgot to give us the point values...

Ran Over... Reward Points...
Child 20
Cat 10
Dog 15
Adult 25

I wonder what they'll offer in the Tesla rewards shop

[–] axh@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)
Run over Reward
CEO - 100000 points

Edit: updated into a table to clarify that I meant MINUS 100000 points, Life of one CEO is much more important to (f)Elon than lifes of us peasants.

This is such obvious BS. Putting aside that Tesla are always making claims about self driving that they can't deliver on, let's just consider the basic logistics of doing this for any customer who lives more than about 300km from a Tesla factory (of which there are two IIRC, and one of those is in Austin and the other is in Fremont)...

How the fuck is the car going to recharge?

It's not like it's going to plug itself in, and there are no staff at Tesla supercharger stations as far as I'm aware. With the range on a typical Model S even getting to LA might be tough if it gets stuck in traffic. Fremont to LA is just under 600km if you're lucky.

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 week ago

LOL my Tesla? Nonono. The possibility of me ordering a Tesla would require so much leadership refactoring at Tesla, I'm confident this is no longer a possibility.

To put it more sussinctly:

Fuck off with this bullshit ad headline. I wouldn't touch these swasticars if they jerked me off nightly

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

No it won’t.

[–] MeaanBeaan@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Is that a threat?

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

It's irrelevant because I'm never buying anything that piece of shit touches.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago

lol right. tesla cars can't even tell the difference between a painting on a wall and the actual road.
