  • I drive a Tesla, and I can definitely say they’re very overpriced for what they are. I also hate the association with Musk. But… I’ve driven a few other EVs over the last few months and ffs… the mindnumbingly stupid decisions in their control software is frankly unforgivable. It feels those cars are still designed by and for people who didn’t have internet in their 40s. For example: all of them don’t remember some or all of the driving characteristics I set them to (regen breaking strength for example). It’s idiotic. And they all use some processor that’s out of date even for phones generations back. And that car is supposed to last 10 years??? Why? On the face of it, I don’t particularly like Tesla, but damn the competition is doing everything they can to stay behind, it feels…


  • A while back he (Musk) posted that individual blocklists are relatively expensive (cpu wise) to run, which is true. This has been getting much worse with the whole blue check debacle. People are blocking those idiots en masse. I’m fairly sure this is just a cost saving measure.


  • Yeah, I’d be a bit more careful about making statements on physics education. The setup in itself is breaking physics itself. Arguing about what would happen is like saying “if we ignore the rules, what would happen according to the rules?”. It’s theoretical either way and there’s no correct answer.
