I actually looked into that…!

The Google Maps interface lets you see when the street was imaged. It’s been that way since 2024, at least. A helpful Redditor shared the link to it.

I’m bad as an automotive journalist. What I lack in skill, I make up for with effort and comedic timing

I’m honestly surprised that a Tesla Model Y fit in this gap. Maybe it ran over the first bollard a bit?

Edit: And, IDK, “managed to get out appropriately” in this case would unfortunately mean throwing it in reverse and doubling back through the cross-walk, I think. It’s never a good idea to run stuff over to get where you’re going.

As a Toyota truck owner, can confirm.

Kei Kei’s delivery service.

I sometimes feel shortchanged as an American (no healthcare, FUUUUCK), but I only get real mad about it when I think about how we don’t get Hiluxes and Kei trucks.

MFW I say how much on the Fediaverse.

It’s Bill Burr’s 21st century and we’re all just living in it.

He’s crushing it on Star Wars stuff, his comedy is on fucking fire, and weirdly he’s one of a small axis of Americans (bad word choice lol) who has the backbone to resist our descent into fascism. I agree with him and I fuckin hate it, bring back buttons, I don’t’ want to drive an iPad.

That’s how I pay server costs :)

Feel free to use ad block, doesn’t hurt my feelings one bit. AdBlock Plus is still good. I’m shocked to meet a programmer who doesn’t already block ads TBH!

The odds of a Ram 1500 driver drunk-dialling the number on the popup ad blocking their backup cam is low… but never zero!

The Ram 1500 is the official car of “more than one, but not so many they take your license away” – both DUIs and beers before going to work.

That’s the other “Remind me later” button

I’ve been thinking about exactly this… you could probably get an apples to apples comparison, by comparing only a specific model year.

IE, how did every 2023 car perform in the year 2024? Then, parse that by the vehicle’s price, or maybe by its propulsion type, maybe both. THAT would be how an honest study of the question would go.

Of course, Tesla knows that, they can afford really great data scientists. Makes you wonder why they run their obviously flawed safety study instead.

I’ve noticed that, too.

The speed signage is nice when the car picks it up, but I’d call mine 80% accurate. Imperfect, but fine for a driver assist, I know not to rely on it.

Crazy move to put it in a 99.9999%-accuracy-required design.

Not mutually exclusive. Why not both?

Tesla bros: “I heard that jaywalker was a TSLA shortseller.”

Aw jeez, did you copy/paste this message onto every board where this story got posted? XD

Also… wait, I recognize your name. You’re a Mod on the SpaceX board, aren’t you? I thought you said you weren’t a fan of Musk?

Edit: Aren’t you a mod on the SpaceX board? I’m not sure I trust you when you say you’re “not a fan of Tesla or Musk” considering you run a fan club for one of Musk’s companies XD

I’m the automotive equivalent of a muckraker, so yeah, Tesla does enough weird stuff that I talk about them a lot. They’re hardly the ONLY news I cover.

Take this article, for instance, it was on the front page of Hacker News for a couple days, got decent circulation in European automotive magazines, too: https://fuelarc.com/tech/pop-up-ads-in-your-jeep-the-latest-stellantis-innovation/

Believe what you like, but the videos in that article are just videos, it’s not like those aren’t first-hand driving footage just because you dislike where you found them.

I was a Waymo stan before Tesla made it cool!

Seriously, though. I am an avowed enemy of the grim reaper, I’m a fan of Volvos for the same reason. And I like how transparent Waymo is with their data. The independent study linked is really illuminating if you like automotive safety stats.

That part really pissed me off.

I think folks see it for what it is. Sales are cratering, public spaces that are not twitter are increasingly intolerant of the Tesla fanboys glazing the supposed tech advantage ( that we can see with our own eyes is not real )

Leave it to GM to find a way to thread the needle and seize defeat from the jaws of victory.
