WOMAN SUES TESLA FOR DANGEROUS EMF EFFECTS!!!!!!!

[boston745]

Until Tesla moves FSD to level 3 and doesnt require human supervision, unless prompted, FSD is nowhere near ready for truly autonomous functions. Its a humongous leap from SAE Level 2 to level 3 from a computing standpoint. If Tesla will not take liability for its software you know its not ready. Even if Tesla receives clearance in a couple years to test a few robotaxis in a few cities, its going to take years to decades before the core software is ready for even true geofenced level 4 capability. It does not mean FSD will be anything but level 2 for the general population. Regulations will not allow FSD to be used outside this limited scope for good reason as we see with Cruise and Waymo. Meaning even if a Robotaxi can be tested in San Fran, the local Teslas with FSD would likely still be level 2.

One possible reason for Tesla abandoning the model 2 is due to battery supply. Morgan Stanley analyst, i think it was, indicated that for Tesla to mass produce the Model 2 it'd need China to supply it batteries. Geopolitical tensions are eroding US and China relationship and thus Teslas access to China's market; there is pressure for Chinese consumers to stop buying US company products like Teslas. I fully anticipate China bringing Taiwan under its wing someday.

Huge leap from blue to green

The decision represents an abandonment of a longstanding goal that Tesla(TSLA.O), opens new tab chief Elon Musk has often characterized as its primary mission: affordable electric cars for the masses. His first “master plan”, opens new tab for the company in 2006 called for manufacturing luxury models first, then using the profits to finance a “low cost family car.”

This could be what Musk is actually accusing Reuters of "lying" about. Claiming that this decision is a deviation from Musks master plan in 2006 when Tesla did in fact manufacture luxury models first and then used those profits to develop a "low cost family car". You could say the 3 or Y are low cost family cars when they are sold, before credits, for less than 40k. Wasnt the model 2 supposed to be more of a commuter car than "family car"?

Anyways, that seems to be what Musk is actually calling out Reuters for lying about and Tesla is scrapping its Model 2.

Tesla can use the base platform for robotaxis but robotaxis requires level 4/5 FSD and FSD is only level 2 and is still causing accidents. So all Tesla can do is do trials of its robotaxi in cities (limited Level 4) autonomous.

Elon Musk Denies Report Tesla Is Scrapping Less-Expensive Car

The stock fell as much as 6.2% on Friday after Reuters said Tesla had canceled the project, citing anonymous sources and company messages it had reviewed. Shares were down 1.3% as of 1 p.m. Friday in New York.

“Reuters is lying,” Musk wrote on X, without offering specifics. In another post, he responded with an eyes emoji to a Tesla investor who speculated that Tesla was shifting more resources toward trying to bring a robotaxi to market.

Just to interpret what has happened here, Musk says Reuters is lying in its article indicating Tesla has cancelled its less expensive vehicle. However Musk statement is too ambiguous. He doesnt specify what Reuters is lying about. Sort of like articles that indicate that FSD caused an accident and Musk says it was not FSD, turn out to be caused by autopilot. Musk need to specifically identify what Reuters is "lying" about in their article for us to know what they might be incorrect on.

Also, a "Tesla investor" speculated that Tesla was shifting resources to Robotaxis for which Musk replies with eyes emoji. That is not confirmation of anything and looks like Tesla is trying to distract from the fact its cancelling its plans on the less expensive vehicle, at least partially. Damage control, control the narrative.

Hutchison Effect & Teslas Whompy Wheel issue

Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts, according to a Reuters review of thousands of Tesla documents. The chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-musk-steering-suspension/

The exact cause of the Hutchison Effect is unknown in public spheres as it is classified under national security. However the most likely culprit seems to be a combination of electromagnetic sources coming together in a way to change the makeup of metals leading to their rusting, softening, fracturing, complete breaking, even dustification. Keep in mind the degree of metal materials that are within our buildings and infrastructure...even in concrete. Maybe this is why we are seeing an increase in building and bridge collapses?

Like the crane in Florida that landed partially on a Tesla, i wonder if this plan suffered Hutchison Effect which led to a component of the engine to break off and get ingested by the engine.

A Southwest flight departing from Lubbock, Texas, returned to the gate shortly after abandoning its takeoff roll when the flight crew reported a possible engine fire, according to a statement from Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport.

Lubbock Fire Rescue responded to reports of an engine failure and fire on Thursday and said crews were working on "extinguishment operations."

"We had gotten to the acceleration part of take-off, about to lift off, and you could hear a 'thump' and the plane swerved and we came to a stop."

"It didn't seem scary. We thought a tire had blown out … but the pilot came on and said, 'The engine had ingested something, and a flame had come out,'" Powell told KABC.

Do Teslas have bad luck in addition to suffering spontaneous fracturing of components, going out of control, and spontaneously combusting?

A Tesla Model Y was involved in what could only be described as a freak accident in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The incident resulted in the death of a person and injuries to another two. The driver of the all-electric crossover was able to walk away from the accident without any injuries.

At around 4:30 p.m. local time on Thursday, Fort Lauderdale Police and Fire Rescue units responded to the Southeast Third Avenue Bridge. Authorities saw a shocking scene. A Tesla Model Y and a minivan were damaged by a part of a crane that collapsed onto the bridge. The bridge itself had an apparent hole, seemingly from the falling crane.

Looks like Hutchison Effect (spontaneous fracturing of metal components) in action causing the crane to break and land partially on the Tesla and van. A southwest airline plane experienced a fire after the engine ingested something. Im curious if something broke off the engine to cause the ingestion and fire?

Big sell instead of buy eod.

It seems very odd that only a month ago Tesla had to delay the deployment of FSD V12 due to a crash and odd braking anomalies and now it has opened the software to the greater public. This seems very risky, desperate, and could have major consequences for Tesla if/when this goes wrong.

Tesla Delays FSD V12 Deployment Until Further Notice After a Car Crashed During Testing

Tesla's FSD Beta program suffered an important setback after one of the vehicles testing the latest build was involved in a crash. Following the accident, Tesla halted FSD Beta V12.2.1 deployment until the collision conditions were fully investigated.

This means that something bad must have happened when there's no apparent progress after two weeks from a software update going to the Wave1 group. This was the case with the V12.2.1 build, which was paused last week due to issues reported with the auto-speed modulation. This caused uncomfortable maneuvers with the potential of causing minor incidents such as being rear-ended. The update was pulled, with the team set to start testing the next iteration of the software.

However, toward the end of February, a car involved in the V12.2.1 testing was involved in a crash, requiring a full internal investigation. Fortunately, nobody was injured, and the Tesla experienced only minor damages. However, this caused further delays, with Tesla halting development until the circumstances of the accident were investigated. Instead of the planned wide rollout this week, there's no timeline for the next FSD Beta iteration.

Sounds like sudden braking that people have complained about. Teslas push of FSD trials is a gamble that could blow up in its face if suddenly theres more accidents.

Before i reported seeing a ascending wedge pattern that i had thought was part of a bearish flag, it broke downward but not consistent of a bearish flag. Instead it seems to be part of a descending wedge pattern which could be why they are pumping the stock right now with BS on FSD/robotaxi to breakout upward.
Why would any company want to license FSD right now, its still very risky? I could see a trial announcement but i highly doubt any major automaker would license this yet.

Tesla gave no warning, didn't break before near crash

Although most of the one-mile FSD drive in Vero Beach was smooth — and really cool to see the technology in action — I had to immediately intervene and take control when my Model 3 nearly rear-ended a pickup.

After the turn signal was automatically activated, my Tesla was correctly merging into a left turn lane. However, there wasn’t enough room between the median curb and the stopped pickup in the inside lane to proceed without a collision.

There was no warning, braking or sign of an automatic interception. I manually slammed on the brake, which disengaged FSD, to avoid a low-speed fender-bender with the pickup.

Once there was enough room, I manually drove into the turn lane and reengaged FSD.

The lesson to Tesla drivers everywhere is to try out FSD, but understand the importance of supervising the drive, just like you would do with cruise control or any other similar feature.

For non-Tesla drivers, be aware many Tesla drivers will experiment with FSD in April, which could look like atypical driving behavior.

Teslas desperate push of FSD via trial prompted this journalist to test it, almost crash, and warn Tesla drivers as well as other drivers that Teslas may behave oddly as they trial FSD software.

All part of the fake it until you make it scam

606-10-25-16 [24] A contract with a customer generally explicitly states the goods or services that an entity promises to transfer to a customer.However, the performance obligations identified in a contract with a customer may not be limited to the goods or services that are explicitly stated in that contract. This is because a contract with a customer also may include promises that are implied by an entity's customary business practices, published policies, or specific statements if, at the time of entering into the contract, those promises create a valid expectation of the customer that the entity will transfer a good or service to the customer.

I do remember the bold statements Musk made on stage in 2019. And also the statements he made since 2015.

He NEVER downplayed the fantasies his cult base were spreading. Instead, he amplified and encouraged them.

How did those statements not made a valid expectation in the heads of buyers that they soon would drive a L4/L5 autonomous car?

The company is poised for a turnaround, as in a few years, electric cars and trucks will comprise 80% of all vehicle sales, Wood said.

Unless BYD floods the market, how could this be true? All the major players are moving to hybrids? Or is Woods referring to like Norway but not specifying that?

She pegged her bull case to Tesla’s plans to roll out a robotaxi, which could drive up to $10 trillion in revenue by 2030, she said, adding that the robotaxi could “save lives.”

Yes robotaxi could save lives if it and FSD worked properly. However FSD does not work safely enough for there to be a robotaxi network.

=======================================

In a previous post i claimed that "Tesla = fake it until you make it scam". In other posts ive claimed that Tesla is a bigger scam than what Theranos was. People will say it sells cars, its cant be a scam. Very true, the car part and the energy part of the company are not "fake it until you make it scams". What makes Tesla a fake it until you make it scam is the fact that Tesla would not have sold nearly as many of its cars and possibly even megapacks without the lies that have been perpetuated about Tesla to help pump it. Its valuation would be nowhere near what it is or peaked at. Elon Musk would not be worth the over hundred billions hes worth, without the misleading claims, mostly by Mr Musk, about Teslas FSD software and what could be achieved by it in a rather short period of time. Reality is that true full self driving is decades away if ever achieved; i lean toward never because of natural phenomena that should make it impossible to safely achieve.
Its therotically possible that Tesla produces a few robotaxis and tests them in cities like Cruise and Waymo. That said, I expect Tesla to experience the same setbacks those companies have in the cities they operate in, struggle with expanding to other cities, or even continue to operate in the cities they are allowed to be in . In otherwords, it will not achieve true self driving robotaxi network.

What constitutes a fake it until you make it scam?

it was arguably a referendum on “fake it till you make it” practices, such as intentionally overstating, and thereby misrepresenting, a fledgling company’s current capabilities, success, or profitability, while banking on the notion that its aspirations will eventually follow the desired trajectory and become a reality.

Is that not exactly what Elon Musk did when he made a series of promises 8 years ago that helped Tesla drive its valuation, sell more vehicles, and net him billions in gains via his enormous share count? This scheme was so successful that sales grew in part because a lot of people invested in TSLA, used their gains to buy 1 or more of Teslas vehicles; some of which then sold them for profit on the secondary market because of all the hype around Tesla coupled with shortage in supply. Without said fake it until you make it scam, Tesla and the greater EV market would likely be on its last breath; at least in the US and Europe.

Elon Musk’s Big Lie About Tesla Is Finally Exposed

Not long before the pandemic reared its ugly head, the brilliant, serial entrepreneur Elon Musk promised to roll out an Uber-like service enabled by self-driving Tesla vehicles. According to Musk, Tesla owners could expect to earn up to $30,000 per year in extra cash by lending their Teslas out to anyone in need of a ride. Owners and customers would transact on the “Tesla network.”

This self-driving technology already exists. At this point, the network can go live very soon, opening the world to an exciting new way to make money while you sleep.

Back in 2016, Elon Musk claimed that Tesla cars could “drive autonomously with greater safety than a person. Right now.” It was a lie, one that sent Tesla’s stock price soaring — and made Musk among the wealthiest people on the planet. That lie is now falling apart in the face of a new recall of 2 million Teslas. It’s also revealing to the broader public what close observers of Tesla have always known (and the company itself admits in the fine print of its legal agreements): Tesla’s so-called “self driving” technology works fine — as long as there’s a human behind the wheel, alert at all times.

Article fails to include that sales of Tesla vehicles would be nowhere near what Tesla has sold to date without these lies.

By this time Musk had MCed numerous stock price-spiking hype events around the technology, and had been collecting deposits from customers since late 2016 for a “Full Self-Driving” version of the technology. Despite the reported deaths and clear evidence that the only video of a driverless Tesla was heavily staged, even Musk admits that his hype around self-driving technology has been the central factor in the recent growth of his wealth to titanic proportions.

BYD thoughts of Self driving technology

“We think self-driving tech that’s fully separated from humans is very, very far away, and basically impossible,” Li Yunfei, a spokesperson for BYD, said in Mandarin, translated by CNBC.
“When we think about [self-driving tech] from all aspects, from human psychological safety needs, from ethics, from regulation, from technology — including application in this industry — we haven’t figured out [the logic] and we think it is probably a false proposition,” Li told reporters on the sidelines of the Shanghai auto show on Tuesday.
“There may be many industries and businesses that invest a lot of money on this [tech], and after investing for many years it will prove it leads nowhere,” he said.

quantamscape (QS) batteries heading for production quantities by end of they year. They are tied to Volkswagen and may supply others. They are only new tech battery I know anywhere near production for real world use

Meh.... lots of trash talk about miracle batteries. None have actually show up in any meaningful numbers. I will believe it when I see it.

Tesla is making a profit, the others don't or are lagging far behind in margins, most negative. FSD is not fully appriciated. My Tesla takes me everywhere with no interventions. I assume most have not even tried FSD but when they do.......I also expect others will license FSD as there's nothing competing with it. Let's see. Think second half could go 200%

Brand new Cybertruck owner left fuming when his $82,000 EV breaks down with critical fault just SECONDS after pulling out of the lot: 'Elon, what are you doing bro?'

Remo, who runs GearDown on YouTube, took viewers on the journey with him to pick up his new Tesla Cyberbeast.

He hit the accelerator leaving the dealership parking lot, revving the Dual Motor that generates 600 horsepower and all seemed well until a few seconds later the center dashboard turned into a blaring alarm.

Remo jokingly said 'I literally broke it right out the gate. Elon, what are you doing bro? How is it already broken?'

The flashing lights indicated there was an issuer with the vehicle's steer-by-wire system, which forced the Cybertruck into a limp mode and stopped it from exceeding four miles per hour.

Steer-by-wire is an advanced system that aims to replace traditional steering.

The new technology eliminates the physical connection between the steering wheel and the wheels of a car by using electrically controlled motors to change the direction of the wheels and to provide feedback to the driver.

The downsides of a steer-by-wire system are maintenance and cost - and if the connection is not perfect, drivers will experience what happened to Remo.
While Remo was able to pull off to the side of the road and head back to the dealer, Arizona-based Matthew Chirello was not as lucky when he was hit by the issue this month.

Chirello shared his experience on X but has since deleted the posts.

The post included a picture of his Cybertruck being towed and Chirello wrote: 'Love Tesla and my Cybertruck but 'catastrophe failure' with steering and brakes while on a road trip with wife and toddler.'

What if there is interference with the system? Will it cause the driver to lose control of steering?The problem that Remo experienced is certain better than that alternative. However glitching control systems are a reason not to buy EVs.

Tesla goes out of control hitting a hydrant and tree, burns its occupants alive as their friends try desperately to get them out.

It was learned that a speeding Tesla crashed into a fire hydrant at Macarthur Boulevard and Grant Lane Road in Tracy at 9.45pm on Friday night, then crashed into a tree and burst into flames.

Behind their car, their other friends were coming in another car, who tried hard to save their friends, but the car got locked and they could not do anything because of the flames.

I'm begging all of you to NEVER get in a Tesla as long as you live. It started accelerating on its own in a parking garage and my dad lost all control of the car and we ran into a wall at 40 mph. Most horrifying experience of my life.

Hutchison Effect & Teslas Whompy Wheel issue

Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts, according to a Reuters review of thousands of Tesla documents. The chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-musk-steering-suspension/

The exact cause of the Hutchison Effect is unknown in public spheres as it is classified under national security. However the most likely culprit seems to be a combination of electromagnetic sources coming together in a way to change the makeup of metals leading to their rusting, softening, fracturing, complete breaking, even dustification. Keep in mind the degree of metal materials that are within our buildings and infrastructure...even in concrete. Maybe this is why we are seeing an increase in building and bridge collapses?

They need to solve the lithium battery fires too. Look what happened to Boeing and their new 787 with all the lithium battery fires too. As one of their employees pointed out, this is not a car. You can't pull over to the curb and get out.

Most of this article is exaggerations but the part about Teslas business model being dependent on growth is true. Without continued growth, Teslas fixed costs will eat away at its margins. The downside of having everything in house.

He finds fault in Tesla's business model, which he says is dependent on robust revenue growth, integrating vertically to capture profits from car sales, and directly selling cars to consumers.

"That is a brilliant model when [there's] growth … because you actually get paid for growing and you capture all the margin. The problem is, when you go into reverse and sales go down, it also goes in reverse," Lekander said, noting that Tesla was now faced with paying its fixed costs and negative working capital, a situation where liabilities exceed a business's income and assets.

I tried Tesla's full self-driving mode. It nearly crashed my car.

Tesla gave no warning, didn't break before near crash

Although most of the one-mile FSD drive in Vero Beach was smooth — and really cool to see the technology in action — I had to immediately intervene and take control when my Model 3 nearly rear-ended a pickup.

After the turn signal was automatically activated, my Tesla was correctly merging into a left turn lane. However, there wasn’t enough room between the median curb and the stopped pickup in the inside lane to proceed without a collision.

There was no warning, braking or sign of an automatic interception. I manually slammed on the brake, which disengaged FSD, to avoid a low-speed fender-bender with the pickup.

Once there was enough room, I manually drove into the turn lane and reengaged FSD.

The lesson to Tesla drivers everywhere is to try out FSD, but understand the importance of supervising the drive, just like you would do with cruise control or any other similar feature.

For non-Tesla drivers, be aware many Tesla drivers will experiment with FSD in April, which could look like atypical driving behavior.

Teslas desperate push of FSD via trial prompted this journalist to test it, almost crash, and warn Tesla drivers as well as other drivers that Teslas may behave oddly as they trial FSD software.

Problem for TESLA, Musk cut prices to sell more cars and now Wall Street don't like the decreasing margins. Demand for EVs slowed and now Tesla has too much inventory. Tough situation.

[trainer2]

Elon Musk just said Nelson Peltz should be on Disney's board for several reasons. I agree, and he should be on Tesla's board for the same reasons. How about it Elon?

[Moonlazer]

This aged well. Further downside ahead.
