Come for the video of a Tesla Robotaxi driving double the speed limit and hitting speed bumps like they are Mario Kart ramps...

... But stay for the conversation about social media silos and corporate disinformation campaigns!

Edit: Aren't you a mod on the SpaceX board? I'm not sure I trust you when you say you're "not a fan of Tesla or Musk" considering you run a fan club for one of Musk's companies XD

I'm the automotive equivalent of a muckraker, so yeah, Tesla does enough weird stuff that I talk about them a lot. They're hardly the ONLY news I cover.

Take this article, for instance, it was on the front page of Hacker News for a couple days, got decent circulation in European automotive magazines, too: https://fuelarc.com/tech/pop-up-ads-in-your-jeep-the-latest-stellantis-innovation/

Believe what you like, but the videos in that article are just videos, it's not like those aren't first-hand driving footage just because you dislike where you found them.
