Yes, electronics are very cheap... But remember the part where they also have a mechanical mechanism? They have two systems, where most cars have this very simple lock that connects to a tiny motor assembly. It's literally a piece of plastic and a few wires

The tablet thing is true, they've changed cars to computerize everything, and once you've done that you can connect everything over a network. Every button needs to do back to a chip to become a digital signal, so before you had these complex one-off wiring harnesses for everything

But Elon is a unique case. Elon likes to actually make decisions, because he thinks he's Tony Stark.

This absolute idiot has spent the last month trying to get grok to be a literal Nazi. First, he added a bunch of white genocide to the prompt, making it change the topic to that from any question for a few days.

Now it's responding all confused, and saying things like "I never gave Jeffrey Epstein tours of spaceX or Tesla" when asked it Elon did it. Seems to me they fed Elon's tweets in the RAG system in a amateur way
