Sounds like he's more loyal to Tesla than to the consumers it hurt

Well if the law firm pay 20 cents check after making millions, what's the point.

I'd be a lot of money that the excuse is just a lie he thinks make him sound like the good person he knows he is not.

Possibly comes from experience with the shitty ones. I was involved in one for a now-defunct tech school I went to and all I got out of it was like $100. I didn't have to put any time into it but that certainly didn't make me whole.

It's supposed to be in the US also.

I would hope so. I would not be surprised that this is a US special…

Seriously. This dude is delusional.

The law firm going after Tesla for this offered to represent him via a class action, and this idiot has the gall to ask the law firm for payment?

The world would be better off if his Tesla self-drove itself into a wall. Ideally with him inside.

Can't argue with that XD

His main deal is that he does Tesla stuff. His website is "Tesla Pittsburgh," so yeah, he's a Tesla guy.

Yeah I used to think that all these Tesla fan channels on YouTube and Instagram were because the brand was seen as somehow special and exciting, like Apple used to be under Steve Jobs. But now I've come to the conclusion that most of them are being paid under the table and not declaring it, because their collective reactions to the past year or more of insanity just don't pass the sniff test.

The article mentions that Tesla is kind of justifying the behavior by saying it is based on energy consumption and some other bullshit. The expectation according to SAE, which I find very interesting, is to be in a range of +/- 4% and for GPS enabled odometers+/- 2.5%, Tesla is missing the mark for at least 36%.

The video shows it going like 14999 to 15001 skipping 15000.

Their insurance is (was?) kind of like that as well if you get the saftey score one. While some things are more general and concrete like following distance, time of day driving, they have one for forward collision warnings.

I'm not sure how much time you've spent in a Tesla, but that system is notorious for going off incorrectly. It's specifically really bad with parked cars on the side of the road on turns. So you're driving along a city street with cars parked on the side and it goes off and now your insurance premiums are more expensive.

I don't think you could find a single Tesla owner who hasn't had multiple false warnings, and consistently in certain circumstances.

So someone of course starts a lawsuit and Tesla initially defends itself, but just last week or something like that, it's no longer part of the safety score

It predict when the Tesla is going to fauk and void the guarantee ?

It predicts that Tesla could save money by padding the numbers, and does a little fraud automagically

You think the dev team made the decision about this?
