Tesla fans using the “4-second disengagement” as a gotcha are missing the forest for the trees. Yes, the driver was technically in control of the vehicle at the moment of impact. But she was in control because FSD was already failing by driving too fast ahead of this sharp turn — it was heading straight into a concrete barrier at highway speed with no sign of correcting. Everyone who has frequently used FSD or Autopilot and paints this 4-second disengagement as a “gotcha” moment is being disengenous, and that includes Elon Musk. I have tens of thousands of miles on FSD, and I’ve experienced the system coming too fast into a turn at least half a dozen times. We’ve said this before and we’ll keep saying it: the problem with FSD isn’t what happens when the driver is paying attention and the system works. The problem is what happens when the system gives you every reason to trust it, and then suddenly doesn’t work. The driver has to recognize the failure, assess the situation, decide on a correction, and physically execute it, all in less time than the system needs to create the danger. Musk and Tesla’s propagandists can point to the logs all they want. The video shows what actually matters: FSD approaching a standard highway curve at full speed with zero indication it was going to navigate it. That’s the failure. Everything that happened after, including the panicked disengagement, is a consequence of that failure. The framing that this was “manual driving, not FSD” is technically true for the final 4 seconds and deeply dishonest about the full sequence of events. It’s exactly the kind of liability shell game that courts are increasingly rejecting, as that $243 million verdict makes clear. Tesla created the system, sold it as “Full Self-Driving,” and profits from the ambiguity. At some point, it has to own the consequences.

@mellodysmiles @TRUMP_ARMY_ To be prosecuted there first must be a crime, not a conspiracy theory.

@TRUMP_ARMY_ Are the leaders behind this going to be prosecuted?

🚨 BOMBSHELL EXPOSÉ: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. drops the ultimate truth bomb on the COVID era: "They had to destroy ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine… because if they had acknowledged that it was effective in anybody, the whole $200 billion vaccine enterprise would have collapsed."

@TRUMP_ARMY_ The problem with the "ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine" theory is that if they had been effective, "big pharma" would have made a fortune off of them. The COVID drugs that were developed were not any more profitable.

@IokSotto @IanCopeland5 The smallpox vaccine was derived from cowpox. There was no way possible "that vaccine gave a bunch of healthy people smallpox" (oopsie).

@IanCopeland5 That's how the smallpox vaccine worked (after the vaccine gave a bunch of healthy people smallpox - oopsie). The reason people keep going on about smallpox is that it's the only disease vaccines have eradicated. So it's not really indicative of how vaccines work.

This is what Smallpox looked like in a world without vaccines. You've never seen such a thing. Know why? Because vaccines work...

@Gambs74076 @IanCopeland5 The last known case of smallpox was in Somalia. Explain how "better nutrition, better hygiene and better sanitation" achieved that. I'll wait.

@IanCopeland5 Small pox vaccine had nothing to do with eradicating the disease we know as smallpox, better nutrition, better hygiene and better sanitation did!!

@Overlordmainst1 @IanCopeland5 Not so! The smallpox vaccine was derived from cowpox, a disease generally harmless to humans, after it was observed that milkmaids in Britain were immune to smallpox.

@IanCopeland5 Nothing to do with vaccines. Cowpox is harmless in it's tranmitted form. When it mutates in the human population it becomes dangerous Smallpox. Automating the dairy industry fixed it.

@JesseGenX @IanCopeland5 Your history is skewed. The smallpox vaccine was derived from cowpox, a disease generally harmless to humans, after it was observed that milkmaids were immune to smallpox.

@IanCopeland5 Smallpox was primarily fought using inoculation, not vaccines. Inoculation was the practice of taking a sick person and use their infection to intentionally affect others. Many survived, many died, but this was literally forced herd immunity.

@SamaHoole And yet those pesky vegetarian 7th Day Adventists have the highest longevity of any American population group. Very strange...

The RDAs don't apply on carnivore. Because it's a different fuel state with different needs. The fewer carbs you eat, the less Vitamin C you need. The less seed oil you eat, the less Vitamin E you need. The less Omega 6 you eat, the less Omega 3 you need. The less sugar you eat, the less magnesium you need. The fewer vegetables you eat, the less sodium you need. The fewer phytates and oxalates you eat, the less calcium you need. The RDAs are written for the person following a high-carb inflammatory diet. Those rules don't apply to carnivore. So don't fret if you're not maxxing Cronometer.

@TechTonik808 @scottthomasm @GregTomaselli @JoshKale This is the same delusional person who confidently compared Tesla to Theranos.

Nobody understands how much of a disaster this Rivian <> Uber deal is Rivian lost $3.6 billion last year on 42k deliveries. That's $86,000 of value destruction PER VEHICLE that left their factory. Their solution? Partner with Uber to turn a $58K camping SUV into a robotaxi... to compete with Tesla's Cybercab... YIKES Every 12-18 months, this company finds a new partner to write a check: - Amazon: $1.3B equity + 100K van order - VW: $5.8B joint venture - US DOE: $6.6B loan - Uber: $1.25B robotaxi deal (today) The moment they announced the Uber deal, they admitted they're pushing back profitability AGAIN to fund an autonomy program that can't even handle stoplights. Tesla's Cybercab is purpose built at $25,000 with no steering wheel. The cost per mile math isn't even close. The Uber deal is to deploy 50,000 robotaxis by 2031. Slight problem: The car doesn't exist yet. The factory doesn't exist yet. The autonomy software doesn't exist. Manufacturing is HARD. good luck have fun

@YTJustGetATesla @leeburridge Was FSD going too fast or the human operator? x.com/i/status/20345…

@leeburridge We know what happened - it misread the speed based on the freeway below. As locals who have had the exact same thing have posted. As we've all seen FSD / EAP / AP do. It went too fast. But they can't admit that because it might makes the share price go down. So lie lie lie!

So, to summarise the Texas Cybertruck crash: FSD is flawless and never makes mistakes and The woman should have taken over it’s her fault But if it was flawless and not to blame there would be no need for her to take over and slam the brakes on…

@YTJustGetATesla @Twizz7871 @rafal0077 You failed to ask why the vehicle was going sixty miles per hour.😏 x.com/i/status/20345…

@Twizz7871 @rafal0077 Ok. So the car driving up to a 15mph bend and 60mph definitely had no impact. Thanks for confirming 🙄

@dead_baseball Conveniently not shown is that the vehicle was human operated for the entire length of the video until the crash. x.com/i/status/20345…

Conveniently cut off the part where FSD was going 60 in a 15 mph zone...

@DrNeilStone My father had smallpox. He knew what it was to be quarantined, along with his entire family, and the quarantine could not be lifted until the last pusticle fell off and all the bedding in the house had been burned. For my parents communicable diseases were not a theory, but fact.

This is smallpox You've never had it You've never seen it You don't know anyone who has had it Because vaccines work

Kilopower, the little Martian reactor that could: A miracle of simplicity & sodium. NASA was given the brief to design a super-simple micro-reactor for future Martian settlement, and it did so brilliantly by doing it unconventionally. A normal Earthbound nuclear reactor is complex, with banks of pumps, water & steam injection pressurizers, control rod actuation, frequent movement of fuel during refuelling cycles, complex systems of valves, back-up emergency coolant and deluge systems, boron injection… it goes on & on & on. A terrestrial nuclear plant is a triumph of safety-conscious system engineering, but it’s a busy one, and Kilopower dispensed with all of this. The intention for the system is that you could set it up, get it started and just… forget about it, pretty much. It has a small, solid core with no moving pieces except for the control rod which is designed to be moved on startup and then kept in place, unmonitored, for a decade at a time. The small size & low power means that reactivity effects are dominated by thermal expansion and are extremely stable. Low power designs (less than 100 kiloWatts thermal energy) make thermal management and irradiation damage a non-issue that does not complicate system design. Very low power level designs (less than 10kW thermal) feature such low burnup reactivity that movement of the control rod becomes a ten-year interval. A literal ‘tin’ wedding anniversary, marked out by tweaks to the control rod. There’s a quirky Martian anniversary gift for you! Even at much higher power levels, the stability is such, and burnup so low, that control rod movement would be something you’d only have to do occasionally, every few months or annually. In essence this is a nuclear battery. In all cases, the reactor is designed to handle worst-case transients such as coolant loss passively without any need for control inputs, further simplifying the system. Truly, this is a zen ideal: Feng Shui engineering, where less is more and the system simplicity brings reliability and safety, all in one. Perfect for missions to space.

@YTJustGetATesla What's unbelievable is the cult that wants to blame full self driving for human error... x.com/i/status/20345…

"She disengaged FSD 4 seconds before the crash". Video starts 4 seconds before. So at best FSD is going dangerously fast when she disengages. Was safe FSD driving slamming the brakes on immediately before the sharp 90 curve? Unbelievable that the cult want to defend this.

@BjornLomborg Residential electricity in Nevada, USA, is 11 cents per kilowatt hour, yet our grid is 50% renewables, half of which is solar. We must have a different type of sunshine over here.

The cheap green lie You are told that solar and wind are cheap But you need near-100% backup when no sun or wind, paying for two systems Data for 2024 shows that cramming in more solar and wind makes electricity overall more and more costly iea.org/data-and-stati… Threads&refs: x.com/BjornLomborg/s…

@MissJilianne Four seconds is the entire length of the video you just reposted, prior to the crash. That means the FSD was disengaged at the beginning of the clip. Don't take my word for it. Clock it.

They’ll tell you Autopilot is perfect until there’s a crash. Then they’ll blame the human for not taking over soon enough because Autopilot was going to crash the vehicle.

@shanaka86 My grandfather owned and ran a dairy farm. He grew corn as cattle feed, for home consumption, and for sale, and he never purchased nitrogen in his life. Limestone and the waste products from the cattle were used as fertilizer. We kids called it the honey wagon.

JUST IN: The most irreversible consequence of this war is not happening in Tehran. It is happening in a barn in Iowa. A farmer is standing over a kitchen table looking at two seed catalogues. One is corn. One is soybeans. Corn needs 180 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Nitrogen costs $610 per ton on the CBOT March futures settlement as of yesterday, up 35 percent in a month. Soybeans fix their own nitrogen from the atmosphere through root bacteria called rhizobia. They need nothing from the Strait of Hormuz. The farmer is choosing soybeans. Millions of acres are choosing soybeans. And once the planter rolls into the field, the choice cannot be reversed until next year. USDA projected corn at roughly 94 million acres for 2026, down from 98.8 million. Soybeans at 85 million, up from 81.2 million. Those projections were published February 19, before urea surged past $683 at New Orleans. The actual shift will be larger. USDA Prospective Plantings reports March 31. By then the seeds will be in the ground. This is the transmission channel the world is not watching. A 21-mile strait enforced by provincial commanders with sealed radio orders just rewrote the planting economics of 90 million acres of the most productive farmland on Earth. Not through sanctions. Not through diplomacy. Through the price of a single molecule that corn cannot grow without and soybeans do not need. Now follow the cascade. The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol annually. That consumes roughly 43 percent of the entire US corn crop. The mandate is set by the EPA. It does not flex when corn acres shrink. It is inelastic demand consuming a fixed share of a declining supply. When supply tightens against a fixed mandate, the remaining corn reprices upward. Corn above $5 per bushel compresses every margin downstream. The US cattle herd stands at 86.2 million head, a 75-year low per USDA NASS. Poultry and pork operations face compression from higher corn prices. Feed is the single largest cost in livestock production. When feed reprices, protein reprices. When protein reprices, every grocery shelf in America absorbs the increase. This is the protein cascade. Corn to feed to meat to eggs to dairy to the checkout counter. Each link tightens because the link before it tightened. The originating cause is a urea molecule that cannot transit a strait because a provincial commander’s sealed orders say it cannot. The farmer did not start this war. The farmer cannot end it. The farmer responds to the price on the screen and the biology of the two crops in front of him. Corn needs the molecule. Soybeans do not. At $610 the arithmetic is settled. The planter rolls. The season is locked. Israel just authorised the assassination of every Iranian official on sight. The US has spent $16.5 billion. South Pars is burning. The Fed is holding rates because oil inflation will not break. Gold touched $5,000. Bitcoin is bleeding. China is running exercises near Taiwan. Sri Lanka shut down on Wednesdays. And underneath all of it, a man in a barn is making the decision that determines whether four billion people pay more for food this year. He has never heard of the Mosaic Doctrine. He does not know what a sealed contingency packet is. He knows what nitrogen costs. And he is planting soybeans.

@harryfisherEMTP Do you think there were measles cases? Before there was a measles vaccine? Asking for a friend...😏

You know what can and has caused measles and sudden infant death? The measles vaccine. Truth hurts. God bless

@ChadMoran They backing that video up and timing how long four seconds is. It is essentially the entire length of that video you're sharing

I normally don't bother armchair quarterbacking these situations. But watching the Tesla Stans come into the comments is funny. Elon said Autopilot (FSD?) was disengaged 4s before the impact which if you watch the video looks like it was going way too fast at that point. Am I missing something?
