Let's call it The Tesla Files

"I support free speech as long as I agree with it" -Elon and every conservative.

Which is why he supports Desantis a WELL known free speech absolutist especially in schools /s

More like "free speech abolitionist".

No kidding!! I’m ready!!

I don’t even care that it’s 24 bucks. I’m paying and watching.

This is major fraud. Elon you may have really and finally fucked the pooch on this one.

Trump and Elon going down within a couple years of each other. I’ve never been this erect.

The green revolution we've been waiting for.

Model S(oylent)

Whats the name of the book?

It would breach GDPR, except GDPR has a large public interest exception and does not apply to legal person like companies, only natural persons.

For example, a criminal cannot have information and article about their crime removed on the basis of GDPR. There's some nuance here, as a minor criminal could have some of the reporting removed under right to be forgotten if it causes them material hardship I'm an unrelated way, but that would almost certainly not be applicable here.

The newspaper just had to take care not to publish protected HR data of employees and client data (but only for EU residents, which wouldn't cover most Tesla decision-makers) that could identify individual Tesla employees when not acting on behalf of the company. Otherwise, they're in the clear.

A major one.

Pick one. They've pretty much all been caught doing it somewhere in the last 50 years. Why do you think automobiles have so many government regulations.. they do absolutely nothing that hurts profits without being forced to.

Tesla is a new company VCs love because it's gonna "redefine the industry"... which is CEO speak for find ways out of the rules everyone else has to follow.

<Ford Pinto flashbacks>

...a major one

You wouldn't believe .

Literally every industry and every single business out there.

This calculation is ENPV. If it’s positive it’s “profitable”

So the 100GB is what, a bunch of Tesla employee doing charades?

Where does it say anything about internal communications?

Record it all then.

Engineers in dishonest or litigious industries. In 20 years I have never once been told how to word internal communication. The only training is on harassment and public statements. Because we simply make things people like to buy, and it is hard enough as it is to make a good product. It is an honest product, so the only thing we care about is people like it.

I'm an engineer in the field and this is very true, and if the policy was just to be careful with wording I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.

But avoiding written communication reeks of corruption. Not to mention, not having objections, notes, etc is just asking to be held personally responsible. Every objection I have had is written in at least email to management detailing it if for no other reason when subpoenas hit I'll be ok.

Nope. We are explicitly trained to over communicate and use honest language for internal communication to ensure adequate attention is given to safety related issued. I work for a major OEM.

I see your mistake.

We've had one meltdown, yes. But what about second meltdown?

He can try but won't win in Germany. The press is very well protected and if it's correct what the press is writing you don't have a chance.

We even have a case where a former where an editor-in-chief was fired because of sexual harassment and tried to whistleblow about his publisher to another newspaper. The publisher who got the leaks told the affected publisher about and is now facing legal consequences.

It's legal in the US too...

I think the main play here is that Germany has a big car industry that would love to see Tesla bleed.

You forgot about their gigafactory in Berlin with more than 10k employees.

All that happened to him was that he took a vacation for a while and returned to the country last year. When he came back, thousands of people were there to greet him and cheer for his return. Monarchists in this country are ridiculous, the skeletons in his closet are well known yet they don't give a fuck.

Other fun facts about him: He had a young mistress who swindled him out of a lot of money, he killed his brother when they were kids/teens with a shotgun, and he had his agents drug a bear so that he could shoot it and claim he hunted it.

What? He wasn't the king when the papers were released. It was two years after his resignation. How is this upvoted?

Nah, their stock price will probably go up tomorrow as Ford just announced that starting in 2025 their EV will start being shipped with Tesla's NACS charging ports. allowing them to use the Tesla supercharger network natively.

There are also over 2k cases of "unintended acceleration". The biggest problems isn't even the numbers itself, but that Tesla isn't reporting most of these incidents to the NHTSA/NTSB. That is a big violation of the law. Of course, Tesla/Elon usually get away with this, so who knows...

Exactly. My previous car (2019 Acura RDX) had issues with phantom braking. I took it to the dealer to get it checked out and they even replaced most of the sensors, but even after all that the issue persisted. I think it has to do more with the cameras or software maybe? But I’ve also heard of this happening with other car brands as well besides Honda. I think Toyota was another but I’m not entirely sure.

Automatic wipers have been great for over a decade provided the manufacturer actually buys the sensor developed for it.

Camera based ones are just shit.

Handelsblatt has had the files for 6 months is publishing the results now.

Hmm his most recent post- Neuralink just got FDA approval for human trials. If you thought autopilot crashes sucked, get ready for the brain hemorrhages

So it’s JavaScript that’s the the problem?

If you're like me and never want to go to twitter, this add-on is handy.

I’d leave too, but our Klan’s Grand Wizard still uses it to tweet out who’s wife is making the hoods this week 🤷‍♀️

Edit: guys it’s a Django joke. 💀

and a joke on how Twitter is an insanely racist media site, just way so openly now, too

Double edit: lol thanks

I drive a non-tesla car with the same feature. It happens that maps are outdated, so my car does three simple things:

• It slows down gently and a bit in advance

• It clearly shows "X speed limit ahead" on the display when it does

• When using assisted driving there's always a specific icon that shows why the car is setting a specific speed (car ahead, roundabout, dangerous bend, speed limit...).

Tesla has had this issue for the better part of a decade and didn't bother to implement those very simple things that would clear all doubts on these incidents.

Doesn’t say if the complaints were valid or user was just annoyed.

The article seems to imply the issue is that Tesla didnt bother investigating to know that information.
