  1. Some auto-driving expert pointed out that's a huge red flag. Are workers in some command center supposed to be driving or instructor-driving robotaxis? Very dangerous and not how things are done. Also someone from Waymo announced the score today. Number of paid, self-driving rides: Waymo 10,000,000 - Tesla 0.0
  2. Dave was confused. He was in the back seat. So he died.
  3. Amazing new tesla accessory just dropped.
  4. Yep. Meant as a comment on the idiocy of Andy Staples.
  5. Is a conference prepared to assert its right to establish its own rules, or will it allow states and members to haphazardly establish their own rules, state by state? Tune into the news, at 11.
  6. The Edmunds test vehicle got rear-ended by a slow-moving, small sedan. Turns out the cyberpanzer isn't exactly bullet proof - it was totaled.
  7. Someone who lived in London used to be a regular on the board. It seems like he disappeared. I lived there for 2 years although it was roughly 20 years ago. The constant low cloud ceiling bothered me so probably the advice that first comes to mind is if you see the sun shining, go outside because chances are it'll be gone in an hour.
  8. I thought La Barbecue was top but it could be recency bias as it was our last stop. InterStellar and LaB were 1 and 2 and really either one could be 1. It was my first visit to InterStellar and I hadn't been to LaB since it was a trailer. They both live up to the hype. The staff at InterStellar is much friendlier and service-oriented, just like Franklin. It didn't affect anything but the staff at LaB seemed jaded and like they dgaf if we were there that day or not. I only noticed because InterStellar was extremely hospitable, as was Franklin, of course. As for L&L, I would definitely make a return visit but they didn't seem on the same tier as LaB, InterStellar or Franklin. One note about the peach pork belly at InterStellar - adding their mustard bbq sauce makes it a 10.
  9. I imagine the cartel is a big holder of bitcoin. I imagine their pockets wallets are a little lighter this week.
  10. I was in Austin for a few days this week to meet up with some friends, and did as much due diligence as possible. It was the week following UT's graduation so perhaps that's why we got lucky with much shorter lines than usual. Pulled up to Interstellar about 40 minutes before opening and were ~12th in line. The brisket was amazing, as were the short ribs with chimichurri, and jalapeno popper sausage. Leroy & Lewis - we were there for dinner. Arrived about 5:30 and the line was short. The sausage and beef cheek were amazing. The brisket and flat iron, very good. The banana pudding tiramisu was phenomenal. The cfs was disappointing, as were a couple of the sides. La Barbecue was the last stop of the week on Friday and it was absolutely incredible. Perfection all the way around. Arrived about 10:15 and we were 4th in line. We also hit Loro for dinner, which was not great but the talent level and vibe were incredible. Franklin (took it to the vrbo so no pics.) Stopped in at 1 and the wait was 45 minutes. Oh...we went to Black's too. It was disappointing.
  11. The excitement builds They're getting amped! They convince themselves tsla stock is gonna go to mars OH no they lost their boner. That's a competitor's car. Electrek’s Take I think part of Tesla’s problems right now are due to its shareholder base not recognizing its problems and blindly believing what Elon Musk says, despite a long history of misleading and plain wrong. This is a prime example. Tesla has now confirmed what we have been reporting for a year: the new vehicles are just going to be stripped-down versions of Model 3 and Model Y. No new models are coming to market other than supposedly the Cybercab, but as long as this is only planned without a steering wheel, it is useless until it can solve unsupervised self-driving, which it has yet to do. This is a problem that shareholders are either ignoring or don’t believe. Tesla launched a single new model in the last five years, the Cybertruck, which was a commercial flop. At some point, shareholders must wake up and realize that Musk is destroying Tesla’s EV business and that self-driving vehicles are not coming to save the day. https://electrek.co/2025/05/09/tesla-tsla-shareholders-excited-for-tesla-prototype-turn-competitors/
  12. Say what you want about muSSk but it's incredibly thoughtful he shut down tesla's factory lines to allow employees unpaid time off to celebrate mother's day.
  13. I can't even imagine behaving like such an immature twat.
  14. I don't have an opinion one way or the other about the facts of this civil matter. It's entirely he said/she said and until there's evidence in court, pretending like any of it is significant seems like a giant waste of anyone's time. I've taken a very slight interest in it due to the intersection of media and law. Also I recoil at the misogyny on display and there's been been quite a lot of it in this thread - which quite honestly I've read/seen far more about the case in this thread than I have anywhere else. I find a little joy in yanking some chains when I come across a conspicuous article. You came across as defensive to me because while 80 percent of the posts on xitter are inorganic you were talking about bluesky as though it's even comparable, and the post you quoted from is from a relatively large pop culture account for bluesky, but as you could plainly see it has only ~49 likes. It seemed a bit incongruous to me. Trolls don't get the same traction on bluesky - they can't artifically boost their reach there as they so easily can on xitter. Perhaps you're unaware. Respectfully though, from what I've seen here siding with Baldoni takes no courage.
  15. If you're wishing to yourself in the privacy of your own brain, it's perfectly okay. Perhaps focus your private loathing on
  16. How about you go have a look? There's zero traction for pop culture on bluesky. The vapid people are on xitter, yt and tiktok. And the bots are on yt and xitter, as well. What has you feeling so defensive anyway?
  17. "Everyone online hates Blake Lively. My boy Justin is so much more beloved than that nasty bitch!" Researcher: The support for Baldoni is almost entirely slop from right-wing controlled bots. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/may/06/misogyny-slop-it-ends-with-us-america-rightwing-blake-lively-justin-baldoni
  18. I'm sure a little PR spin will help xitter as it circles the drain. I don't know about the math here - I count closer to a 67% decline in total visits. In just 3 months.
