“Extended Service”?

There are 46,000 Cybertrucks on the road, all of which are subject to recall because of bad glue…. And yet some are undergoing “extended service”? 

I’ve owned new cars and used cars, and the last time I had one in for “extended service,” the car in question was over a decade old.  I do remember when Detroit cars were basically shit because Detroit had no competition, and Americans bought whatever was available. Then Japanese cars came in that were reliable, and it took Detroit about a decade to catch up (those pre-Japanese car days are what Trump jingoistically longs to return to). But why are Elmo’s cars built like 1970’s era Detroit shit?

Maybe because his big rocket is a 1950’s era bottle rocket that explodes right after launch?

Tesla sales in the U.S. have dropped 13% in Q1 to the lowest levels since 2022.

I love this for Elon Musk.

I know the Nazi thing is getting all the attention, but Tesla’s are basically computers on wheels. And as I understand it, they haven’t changed their battery technology, and the “self-driving” car that doesn’t (still) exist is based on cameras when everyone else as gone to LiDAR (my Volvo has a lane keeping feature meant to keep you from drifting. It works from a camera that sees the lane dividers. I bough it during Covid.).

Not cutting edge, IOW. In fact, it seems like Tesla is IBM when everyone else is buying the new MacIntosh.

If you’re old enough to remember IBM, and what Steve Jobs did to them…
