  • Elon Musk signals reaching limit of Tesla’s HW3 despite self-driving promise

    The CEO has publicly promised level 5 autonomy on all vehicles produced since 2016. Tesla has already been proven wrong with HW2, and now HW3 is seemingly reaching its limit. Sure sounds like the basis of securities fraud to me… https://electrek.co/2024/07/26/elon-musk-signals-reaching-limit-of-teslas-hw3-despite-self-driving-promise/

  • Edge Lord Musk Enters “Find Out” Phase

    Tesla posted its second-quarter earnings Thursday evening, revealing that its net income fell an astonishing 45 percent compared to a year ago, the second consecutive quarterly decline. That massive pay bump… sure looks liek a good investment. https://futurism.com/tesla-sales-tank-elon-musk-endorses-far-right

  • FINALLY: Tesla is being investigated for securities and wire fraud for self-driving claims

    Rocket Jesus is finally at the “find out” stage of his multi-decadal fuck about… According to Reuters, the probe is looking into statements made by Tesla CEO Elon Musk in particular. For years, Musk has been promising fully autonomous Tesla vehicles are just around the corner — while also admitting that he often sets overly optimistic timelines.…

  • Musk is Twittering Tesla

    He’s turning it into the same organizational trash fire that he created at Twitter… Firstly, Tesla states that it is “attempting” to connect with suppliers and that it may have sent multiple emails to some of them. This suggests that Tesla doesn’t have an established method of contact for all of its suppliers – either it…

  • Elon Musk is abandoning EVs

    This tracks. Tesla has behaved like a company (in the past 12 months) that knows it can’t compete… Elon Musk just fired the entire Tesla Supercharger team. Why? It’s not about cutting costs or streamlining operations. It’s a signal. A signal that Tesla is pivoting away from being an electric vehicle company. https://joanwestenberg.com/blog/elon-musk-is-abandoning-evs

  • TESLA’S AUTOPILOT AND FSD LINKED TO HUNDREDS OF CRASHES, MANY FATAL

    Get thee off the road, murderbots! The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that those making use of the EV maker’s misleadingly called “Full Self-Driving” software were lulled into a false sense of security and “were not sufficiently engaged in the driving task.” In short, the report found, the Elon Musk-led company’s tech “did not…

  • But, but Starlink!

    One of the gold plated myths that Muskrats love to trot out is: Starlink will print money. It’s the one fart the desperately huff. Not so much it seems: But according to a damning new report by Bloomberg, Musk may have once again rigged the numbers in his favor by greatly underplaying the costs involved in launching the satellites, when…

  • Tesla settles with Apple engineer’s family who said Autopilot caused his fatal crash

    I suspect Apple told them to fuck off when Tesla tried to rope them into this law suit. Although Huang’s family acknowledges he was distracted while the car was driving, they argued Tesla is at fault because it falsely marketed Autopilot as self-driving software. They alleged Tesla knew that Autopilot was not ready for prime…

  • From the “Not saying it’s not fraud” file… background watching for the Tesla 8/8 autonomy event

    Update: 16 Apr: Does Tesla actually have a plan to launch a “robotaxi” in less than four months — or is it yet another blatant attempt by Musk to raise morale among Tesla investors? https://futurism.com/tesla-robotaxi-announcement-regulator-permits Update: 19 Apr: (Reuters) – Tesla shares fell to their lowest in more than a year on Thursday after Deutsche…

  • NASA reportedly forced to push back moon landing after SpaceX fails to deliver Starship

    Over promising and under delivering again… SpaceX still has a lot to prove, including achieving a stable orbit, swapping fuel between spacecraft, and of course the ability to make a safe and soft approach to the lunar surface. https://futurism.com/the-byte/nasa-push-back-moon-landing-spacex-starship How long before Musk sues NASA for…reasons.
