Here is a guy explaining the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WldSl3HGr8
It appears multiple panels on the truck are just glued on which is crazy. Will Tesla just slather on bunch more glue and call it good? That seems like a bandaid over a pretty major problem. I’ll be sure there is a large distance between my car and one of these shitty trucks on the road in case they decide to shed some large panels.
That area is not very windy but 32-34F which is pretty cold. Not good.
This is terrible tragedy. It’s been few hours since the accident and no words on survivors so it’s looking grim. NTSB has lot of work to do to figure out what happened so it won’t happen again.
Edit: Just watching the press conference at 1am and they won’t talk about survivors or fatalities. It’s a bad sign.

EDIT: Removed Apple Maps since they’ve made their change.
I think a mini game could be had here. Create an account and post something that’s not overly ban worthy offense like mentioning Tiananmen Square or posting a picture of Winnie-the-Pooh but something subtle and see where the boundaries are. I bet there are lots of invisible lines where ban can be tripped. It could be it’s own community.
This is just awful. Pardons for what? What crimes? Pardon implies wrong doing and there were no laws broken here. Suddenly pardon becomes immunity from future prosecutions from an unknown crimes? It’s just ridiculous. I was already disappointed with President Joe Biden’s pardoning of his son but this one is even worse in a different way. This so called preemptive pardons is basically implying the justice system is so broken and untrustworthy to protect the innocent from a tyrant.
The whole TikTok thing is a complete shitshow from start to finish. The whole effort to ban TikTok started because bunch of kids organized and trolled Trump by mass signups to his rally creating whole lot of empty seats. Democrats went along with TikTok ban because they thought they can use the guise of protecting American citizens’ privacy and national security as means to score cheap political points. Neither political parties actually care about citizen’s privacy because if they did they would have passed a comprehensive data privacy law that covers every social media platforms long time ago.
Apparently some Trump aid has advised him that he can look like a hero by rescuing TikTok and win the hearts and minds of the youth. Do I think Trump cares about free speech or welfare of people who make a living off of the platform? Hell no. It’s all political theater.
From looking at how TikTok is behaving as the deadline loom ever closer, it’s very suspect. If they are actually motivated by profit then one would think they’d be scrambling to find a buyer but they seem completely disinterested in that. It does appear their motives aren’t about money but elsewhere. And then all of a sudden there is an exodus to a Xiaohongshu (RedNote or Little Red Book) app which is heavily censored Chinese lifestyle propaganda platform. Maybe I’m being cynical but this feels a bit “influenced”.
When all is said and done I think TikTok is just fishy as hell. Also what I can take away from all this is at least some of the users of TikTok are absolute morons that are easily swayed by misinformation and propaganda.
I don’t think you understand the definition of the word racist.

I think he will scam this tariff money through this so called “external revenue service” run by his cronies that will also get a cut. Billions will get funneled to his offshore bank account. Sadly press is all in his pockets so we’ll never know. The whole thing sounds like a giant scam.
I can imagine a headline “Republicans swiftly call for gun control measures after a senseless shooting of UnitedHealthCare CEO.”
If those robo taxes are working off of similar system to their half baked self driving tech, it would be a disaster. I keep seeing videos of Waymo taxis clogging up the streets of San Francisco and those things have much better suite of sensors than Tesla. It’s insane that our public road has become a alpha/beta testing platform for bunch of tech bros.
It boggles my mind why anyone would still be holding onto Tesla stock right now. The board and the Musk are actively trying to screw them over right now and one judge barely managed to prevent shareholders from getting shafted. How does it make any sense to hold onto Tesla shares at this point?
With the current state of streaming services mess, I think I would have signed up for disc rental by mail. Access to nearly 100% of media at highest quality for around 10 to 15 bucks a month seems like pretty good deal right about now. Sadly Netflix killed that part of their business so I can’t even go back to that.
Five to ten seconds wait for a voice command kills any chance for this being a viable product. If they can’t bring down the response turnaround time to two or three seconds, this product is dead on arrival. It’s not worth discussing anything else until they can do that.
US military is definitely aware of this obvious problem and they’re probably in a planning stage of building out their own low earth orbit constellation of satellites that they fully control for military use. If I had to guess they’ll contract with Blue Origin to build out this architecture. Elon is shown to be a security liability at this point with alleged drug use and conflict of interest with countries deemed adversarial to US.
What they could go after next:
This headline sounds like it’s straight out of The Onion.
Secondary live stream of the eruption.
Which tech company would buy Chrome from Google? I just can’t think of a single tech company that could be an improvement over Google owning Chrome.
Amazon
Apple
Meta
Microsoft
Oracle
What about media companies? I don’t see consumers benefiting from this.
Comcast
Disney
Netflix
Viacom
What about telecom? I still don’t see consumers benefiting from this.
AT&T
T-Mobile
Verizon
What about foreign companies? Will they be even allowed to buy Chrome? I’m not sure.
LG
Philips
Samsung
Sony
The more I think about it, this won’t end well.
