USA: Slate's New Electric Truck Will Cost Slightly More Than $24,950

Well, Rivian and Lucid did okay. Tesla is an outlier.
BUT they didn't lead with a selling price. That's where my bullshit alarm goes off.
I'd be happy to be wrong on this one, but... The signs are there.

Weird and F'd Up
It's not even slightly weird. It's how every industry has worked outside of the humanities.

Nah. I'm refusing to engage such a stupid premise.

Here's a few. But there's more of these dating back at least to the 70s.

How do you avoid AI music?
By not letting an AI choose what you hear.
Seems pretty obvious, really.

Yep. Seen this schtick a hundred times.
Now that the seal is broken on price hikes, it'll climb more and more. About the time it reaches double, the project will be canceled. Investors will be screwed, and some slimeball will run off with the cash just like he always planned to.
Just like all the other ones.

Did they not think to develop a practical skill in case this fad died off?

Can things exist without anyone being aware of their existence?
Yes. You aren't the main character of reality.

Yes. Correct. They shouldn't be allowed to do it.

There's no way the car was completely uncontrollable outside of something like a mechanical failure of the suspension or steering system. It is the easiest thing in the world to take over from those systems. You can yank the wheel. You can hit the brake. You can bump the switch. All of those are intuitive and take no time. It's exactly as easy as turning off cruise control. Completely, 100% on the driver. Period.
Again, shit on reality instead of fantasy. There's plenty of actual real things that Tesla does that suck. Turning off autosteer isn't one of them. We're making up lies and trying to criticize based on those when there's a cornucopia of horrible truths right there ripe for the picking. All this insistence on lying is doing is weakening the argument.
