@mateosfo This is a good start, hopefully they'll do better on the sideshow people going forward.

Imagine a world where CHP and SFPD work together to address drivers driving recklessly on the bridge (and everywhere else in the Bay Area) and block them from driving/arrest them/confiscate their cars so they don't keep slaughtering people.

@zachklein Would love to see more of this attitude. It seems like firm medicine is needed to force reforms and not have BART endlessly vacuum taxpayer dollars

I’m strongly in favor of public transit and want BART to succeed. That’s why I’m uncomfortable with the framing that the only option is new funding without drastic change. We're being asked to pay more at a time when concerns about cleanliness, safety, and cost discipline are still unresolved. It’s reasonable to ask how new funding will translate into measurable improvements on those fronts. I would support additional investment only if it's paired with clear accountability: specific performance targets and consequences if those targets aren’t met.

@kerpen CA roads are noticeably better than NY, NJ at the very least, no way they are second worst

How does California manage to have the second worst roads in the country with the highest gas tax?

@pbeisel @Uber Maybe he didn’t feel comfortable making the u-turn? Seems you made the situation more difficult for everyone

Uber @Uber Today I witnessed quite a scene involving an Uber driver in downtown San Francisco near UCSF. Two women were waiting for their ride. The driver pulled up on the opposite side of the street. They were signaling for him to make a U-turn and pick them up where they were. It was clear one of the women had Parkinson’s or some kind of neurological condition—she was shaking noticeably and appeared to be the one trying to manage the ride on her phone (they were outside the Neurology building at UCSF). It wouldn't be proper for her to cross the street given her condition. I stepped in. I motioned for the driver to roll down his window and asked why he wouldn’t come around to pick them up. He claimed the woman was being disrespectful because she was gesturing at him. I pushed back: if you won’t even roll down your window, how exactly is she supposed to communicate? From there, it escalated into a shouting match. He was clearly offended by what he saw as “entitled” behavior (ironic since he was the one acting like a King), and didn’t appreciate me stepping in on behalf of his customers. I walked over to the women and suggested they cancel and call another Uber. But he wouldn’t release the ride—he just sat there. I told them not to get in the car with him, but they were already thinking the same thing. Honestly, someone like that shouldn’t be interacting with customers at all. And situations like this are exactly why services like Uber are vulnerable to autonomous rideshare like Tesla Robotaxi. Who need to interact with an asshole like this (correct word)? The whole thing was pretty disgusting. I hope they reported him, though I wouldn’t be surprised if nothing comes of it. I walked away pretty angry.

@JbD1618 @randomrecruiter I think the main point he was making is the more important one

@randomrecruiter I think this has more to do with inflation. Inflation is crushing company margins so finance is limiting wage increases tied to labor. If people complain guess what there's 100s of H1Bs or offshore workers ready to step in for a fraction of the cost.

A lot of people are learning the hard way: You weren't underpaid at your last job. You were overpaid during ZIRP. During the ZIRP era of 2020-2022, you could spell the word "javascript" and land yourself a 50% raise. The ZIRP job market was an anomaly, and a lot of people are finding out their comp was probably inflated.

@itskyleconner @farzyness I have the opposite experience - it makes so many wrong turns, esp in v14, that it’s stressful in a new city. At least in the SF Bay Area, I can take over in time to prevent a wasted 30m in traffic

Using FSD in a new city to navigate traffic / interchanges is magic Total relaxation as the car figures out how to get me from A to B 🙌

@TechLayoffLover Sounds like you heard one side of a story - is it so hard to imagine there might be more to this?

Senior L7 architect just messaged me from his car in the parking garage Been there 6 years. Built their entire microservices platform. Makes $340k. Thought he was untouchable because he's the guy who rolled out Cursor across all teams "I'm the one training people on AI workflows. I'm the one optimizing the prompts. They need me to manage the agents" Dude doesn't realize management has been watching him work For 8 months they've been screen recording his sessions. Logging every prompt. Documenting every decision tree. Building a knowledge base of exactly how he architects solutions. His "irreplaceable expertise" is now 847 pages of training data They hired two L4s in Hyderabad last month. Paying them $31k each. Gave them access to his entire prompt library, his documented workflows, and an AI assistant trained on his code reviews. The offshore team is already shipping features 40% faster than his old team of 7 did He's training his own replacement and calling it "leveraging AI for competitive advantage" His manager told him yesterday they're "restructuring around AI-native workflows" and his role is being "evolved to focus on strategic oversight" Translation: 30-day transition period, then PIP, then gone The knowledge extraction is complete

@TSLAshareholder Just use auto headlights

Kinda crazy that Tesla hasn’t added a feature where you could tap the headlights to turn them off. I’m parked at my kids practice and the headlights are just on. Currently, you press the headlight button to bring up the menu, which flashes the lights or you go on a scavenger hunt in the menu. Let me tap my freaking lights off, @tesla

@MrPitbull07 Engagement bait, probably generated by ChatGPT - how can 1.2k of you not see that haha

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic. ~Lea Robertson

@YIMBYLAND Autonomous driving and the resulting cheap robot taxis are likely a big part of the solution now. Past generations mostly just rolled the dice

We need a hard age limit on driver licenses in this country. Otherwise, the next decade is going to be a bloodbath of pedestrian deaths. We should be prioritizing the health and safety of our young families over the convenience of octogenarians. Especially as AVs come online.

@99_Colorado @DFWsCars I just passed through CO and it was no problem driving at 75

@DFWsCars That wouldn’t work here in Colorado, but other places, I’m guessing would. You wouldn’t want to limit like that in the West.

As a parent, I can’t stress enough DO NOT LIMIT YOUR TEENS SPEED. Where it sounds like a good idea, imagine something happens to your kid because they couldn’t accelerate away from an out of control car. There are many scenarios where they might need to accelerate, think wisely.

@99_Colorado @atnomos He can drive in the slow lane and it will be fine

@atnomos Our speed limit is 75 and flow of traffic is 85 most times.. dangerous AF

@coc0L0ko @RepKiley Who will pay for the roads you drive on?

@RepKiley How about… no gas tax? One penny is excessive tax.

After overturning California's gas-car ban, we're now going to cut its excessive gas tax. My bill sets a national cap that will save CA drivers 21 cents/gallon immediately. California has a higher gas tax than every state yet has worse roads than just about every state.

@RepKiley You must be kidding - CA roads way better than the whole northeast

@OutofSpecDetail Smelly food, keep groceries cold in winter, but mostly to keep less often used items in the car. My main trunk is usually totally empty

How many folks actually use frunks. Genuinely curious.

@Project_RCC Crying wolf, most normal people have tuned out all talk of Tesla autonomy

Everyone is saying FSD is perfect but the take rate is 12%... So I'm genuinely curious? If it's perfect what is holding the other 88% back? Price? Comfort? Weird, unnatural behaviors? Tesla removing features a person 100% responsible for the vehicle would like (max speed, follow distance, etc)? It's gotta be something... It can't be nothing.

@DirtyTesLa Bad navigation, not following navigation, not decisively making unprotected left turns, slow lane changes on freeways, poor lane choices with exits coming up

What is FSD still doing that is annoying you? Or is every drive perfect while you relax in the driver seat "supervising"?

@aStatesman Dumb argument, ID fees are low and every few years

Voter ID would be less problematic if states eliminated the cost of obtaining IDs. Requiring an ID effectively constitutes a poll tax, as it adds a financial burden on voters. Voting is not a privilege like driving; it is a RIGHT, and there should be no individual cost associated with exercising it.

@teslaownersSV Yes, both nav issues and FSD not following the nav

Anyone else notice the navigation on your Tesla has been bad lately? I’m disengaging a lot because of it.

@DirtyTesLa The benefit comes only if you cancel both j think, it must be one shared line?

Wow finally, image polls :D Which one should Tesla NOT cancel
