@hyphy_republic I'm glad you're safe! It's scary out there -- last year, I was riding home from work, in the bike lane on Oak under the highway there, and a car passed me *on my right*. I barely ride anymore, because the fear hasn't worn off yet.
If the driver fleeing an Alameda police instigated chase on 12th had decided to use the bike lane instead of oncoming lane to pass us, I would be dead now. Another death piled on to weekend's misery, this one caused by pols falling over one another to push the stupidest policies
@shannonrwatts Not just another country, he said another state as well. How can people elect this kind of tribal asshole that can only spur "us vs them" venom
"Trump and many leaders on the right are vowing to use this tragedy to do what they’ve always wanted to do anyway: to make this a more authoritarian society..."
Blunt and absolutely true from @mtomasky:

my entire life i voted democrat
donated the max to obama, got a photo and had him talk about my toe-shoes on the stump
pulled my kid out of preschool in 2016 after trump won because their teacher was maga
voted kamala last year
today i registered republican.
Today it was confirmed that the president told the world's most infamous pedophile and child sex trafficker: "We have certain things in common."
For any other president, it would be the biggest scandal of their lives, possibly career-ending.
For Trump, it's just Monday.
@Tslachan OMG, no way anything can compete against Elon's commitment to $3 rides for life. This is going to be the costco hot dogs of transportation! He's a genius. How much will going to mars cost? $1000? Vision was right and soon we'll have robots for $100? He's just so efficient!
$TSLA
I got on a Tesla robotaxi 9 times today in Austin, Texas.
In this process, I tried to compare the rates of Tesla and Uber on the route.
In my experience, Tesla was all cheaper than Uber on all routes. Tesla was up to 67% cheaper on some routes.
There are numerous variables in this information, such as time, traffic conditions, and so on. So, this information is for your reference only, and eat it only with salt.
I will let you know the driving data on the route as an image in the comments.
@elonmusk I know 10s of people that probably would have bought Teslas, but since someone had to go DOGE and Nazi... They all bought different cars instead.
Please reply to this post with any difficulties you may have had in trying to buy a Tesla.
Our goal is for the purchase and delivery experience to be fast and simple, with accurate answers to your questions.
The key test is that you would recommend it to a friend.
This windshield wiper move might seem like a small thing, but to me it really highlights the power of Tesla’s vertical integration.
Other autonomy providers bolt on their own sensors, with their owning cleaning.
Tesla integrates it all together. The same wipers that clean the windshield also clean the front cameras.
If you’re Waymo, how do you even go about reprogramming the windshield wiper routine for all the different car brands and models you run on? You don’t, you create a separate cleaning system for your own sensors.
Tesla makes the car. They make the software that runs on the car. They control all the parts. They run the ride share service. They own the charging network. They own the service network.
And they are making all of it fit together to deliver the best, the simplest, and the most elegant autonomy solution.
This wiper routine is just one example of that.
Imagine making the trek, as tourists, to Sunset Dunes “Park”, seeing a barely-maintained road covered in patches of sand, asking locals for directions to the “park” and be told “you’re standing on it”? The surprise and feeling you’ve been lied to. The 3rd most visited park??
Mark Rober posted a video ripping @Tesla’s FSD/AutoPilot technology.
The problem?
FSD was never engaged, and nothing was on when he crashed into the wall.
The whole video was designed to bash Tesla and promote Luminar, a LiDAR company.
blaming 3 youtubers for the entire fall of $TSLA is wild.
The stock was down 50% before my video even went live. 😂 you sure its not the roman salute? the 10 years of failed FSD promises? where's the Roadster? why are the cybertruck's panels glued on?
The ship is sinking, the captain has fled, the crew has sold, and im just watchin.
(I woulda retweeted the dude but he has me blocked.)
I barely made it across the street from Loquat Bakery on Gough when this deranged lunatic snuck up and grabbed my box of expensive pastries and slammed it on the ground. Called 911, but didn't have time to wait around 2 hrs to file a police report.
