Do we have a tally somewhere of people killed by Teslas? I bet they racked up quite the high score up until now.
Who cares, FSD is so safe that doors opening in emergencies isn’t really necessary.
I’m joking of course, fuck.
"You're crashing it wrong"
Wcgw when there's no physical override?
I don’t know why anyone would ever buy a Tesla
I know two uber-like drivers, but they're on a better contract. One owns an EV and uses it for work: 100% tax credit that forces him to live a spartan existence and put his tax refund toward a better life. His peer, though, makes 100k+ doing fucking uberlyft work.
Combine those two and you're sleeping in a fantastic car.
Just make sure you get a used one with the lidar rig.
Nothing about what you just said explains why anyone would want a Tesla; more the benefit of having an EV period. There are better EVs out there than a Tesla.
Hang on I don't understand what the tax has to do with anything but whatever.
Electric vehicles aren't unsafe it's just Tesla's stop equating the two things
Engineers stopped doing things simply because analysts determined that businesses can make more money by selling products with complicated and unnecessary garbage.
Of course, no sympathy for people who get screwed over for buying a car that costs more than my house.
Another person who saw wealth as something to be used for status, not to help those who have less. Rest in piss.
Where can you can buy a house for $70k?
There are some real dumps in the world. The house can be fine but if the neighbourhood is bad it's going to affect the price no matter what else is going on.
You can buy a lot and park a trailer on it for less than that in the midwest. They never said it was a nice house in a nice location.
I played Cyberpunk 2077 and Hitman: World of Assassinations. In Cyberpunk 2077 one hack in the game is to literally make the car explode (you need to be a high level Netrunner for that) and other hacks involve making the car accelerate unstoppably or engage emergency brakes (rendering it immobile). I've seen Teslas not only burn like hell with the doors somehow having an autolock feature always engaging at that time. It just makes me wonder how long it will be before one such Tesla fire is found to be a deliberate action by another to commit murder?
I am surprised that it hasn't happened yet.
it hasn't happened because the cars can do it on their own just fine
Remember Musk has access to all the car switches, pedals, steering, etc. if it happens often enough, it won't be odd when it's convenient for him that someone is burned alive in one of his mobile ovens.
one of his mobile ovens.
The real dream of all true Nazis.
A smart murderer who wants to get away with their crime will make it look like an accident. If their victim drives a Tesla and they know how to exploit a software glitch then that is a golden opportunity.
You can hack cars and it has happened in the past but usually it requires physical access to the car. Even today they don't really have network access which would open the entire car OS up to the internet (For what should be fairly obvious reasons). So you can't just install a virus.
Of course if you do have physical access to the car you could just do something much less sophisticated like planting a bomb, it seems unnecessarily complicated to develop a system that would wait until the car is in a vulnerable position and then take control and crash it.
I'm pretty sure that Teslas do have network access as they're updated remotely. Unless I'm misremembering.
You can pop trunks and doors on a Tesla wirelessly using a flipper zero, which anyone can buy for ~100 bucks.
Yes but there's no way to do sci-fi Hollywood stuff like taking over the car and driving it off at cliff. You've been able to open car doors by emulating the remote control for years but there's nothing you can do that would compromise the operation of the vehicle in transit.
Everything in a Tesla is remote controllable, down to the odometer. It's through Tesla's own system but I am 100% sure that system has an Internet connection.
Heck I patched in my non-smart-car into my smarthome using an Onstar integration, I can lock and start it using Siri. Tesla's system is just a way beefier version of Onstar. I wouldn't be shocked if there was an app just for Elon to play with it all.
go back to playing video games, kid
Or stupid tech bros/MBAs with a lot of money in their pockets and not much in their brains for common decency. At least this explains the rare cyber truck I've spotted here in Mexico.
Most modern cars automatically lock doors when you reach certain speed (like 20km/h). I checked and automatically unlocking door on impact is a separate feature that may or may not be present in a car. So I think you won't be able to open most modern cars from the outside after a crash. The only difference is that you will open other cars from the inside without issues while in Tesla you have to use other door handle in front seats and it's really complicated to open them from the back seats. Is that right?
which is so stupid, who would break in your car at 20kmh?
I always thought the opposite would make much more sense, locking doors when you're below 10kmh and unlocking once driving
Firefighters always struggle more to open locked doors (duh) as much as I hate those, I don't think it's something specific to it.
It's to prevent you from accidentally opening the door.
It’s more to keep you from being carjacked than for accidental door openings.
yes protect me from being carjacked at speed
The doors still stay locked when you stop. At least for mine the doors don't unlock again until you put it park. They just lock when you start moving because the vehicle moving is a good indication that you don't need the doors unlocked anymore.
That sounds like a design problem that could be solved. At least for the whole doing wholly accidentally, me pulling the door handle because I'm stimming not withstanding.
What I learned about design decisions, especially in IT, is that there's a reason why things are designed the way they are. Before proposing an entirely new solution to problems that can be seen due to the current design, I've learned to try to understand first. Only tech bros will reinvent trains or build Cybertrucks.
I guess they don't lock/unlock constantly because that would be annoying in stop and go traffic.
Also probably really bad for solenoids and locking mechanisms.
Also they don't want people to know the lock parts are probably cheap nylon and zinc pot metal designed to crack after 7,000 uses. :o lol
That's pretty normal in a car crash, no? The frame crumples and the doors often get stuck.
Except in these, there are no fucking handles. So, even if you tried. Nope. No power no open. And with the hardened glass that would normally allow a rescuer to just shatter a window... Nope.
Enjoy dying in a fire.
Yeah, facts would be useful here, rather than speculation
Maybe the lack of mechanical latch is to blame but we don’t know that yet
Cars unlock the doors during a crash and this has been the standard for quite some time.
It's called a fail safe the clue is in the name. The failure mode of a mechanism is it's safe mode.
In cars with mechanical locks they require power to be in the locked position in the unlocked position a solenoid loses power and a mechanical spring pulls it into the unlocked position. So when it fails and loses power the default is to unlock. Sure the mechanism could become damaged and bent out of shape but we're talking about a sliding bolt here, something that can be manipulated with a mechanical lever like a key.
fuck, another one. It's almost like Musk and his companies should be sued out of existence
Imagine trying to fix a non-existent problem by removing mechanical fucking door handles and then making the glass bulletproof so first responders can't even smash the window to save someone when they inevitably can't open the shitty electric door button because the electrical stuff is broken or on fire. It's like it's designed to be an inescapable bulletproof rolling coffin.
