That one’s a deal breaker. Never getting in an Tesla again. And yes, that means a lot of taxi cabs 🤷‍♂️🙄

See? This. This is why I don’t trust my safety to electronic systems. The fancy computer controlled locks and latches are great when they work. When they don’t, shit like this happens.

At least most cars still have a physical connection between the door handle and the locking mechanism. Not Tesla, for no good goddamned reason.

Female AI voice: Please stay in your seats with your seat belts on until Elon has been notified of this incident.

In the US there are nine investigations involving the Tesla Model Y, ranging from “unexpected brake activation” to “sudden unintended acceleration,” according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Nice

Those investigations will all end with “nothing to see here” in about 3 months from now.

Expect those investigations to quietly go away or turn up nothing in about two months from now.

If there’s anything the incoming administration is unconcerned about, it’s the optics of any decisions they make.
