Tesla is having some big network issues

[Gman]

If anyone couldn't get into their car during this outage they're a fucking moron. Not sure how else to put that gently so I won't.

That's precisely it. I know people who don't carry a wallet. They put EVERYTHING on their phone. They don't think about what happens when their phone dies, or breaks. Then you have nothing.

Trust, but verify.

I've had a career in technology for about 30 years now. I know that nothing is fool-proof. I also have a vehicle with all kinds of modern driver aids, so I'm totally aware of how the systems/sensors/software misinterpret the world.

One thing age can give you is wisdom. The understanding that when your context of the world and what's in it is limited, it's amazing what you don't understand. How many times have those of us that have lived better than half a century have heard something is "New!", "Never been done before!", etc., only to have lived at a time when that thing existed before. Just because you call it an SUV or CUV, that doesn't mean it's not a station wagon.

Those that accuse people of being naysayers because they're living in a bubble, need to get out of their own echo chamber. I've been following this story since before it was a story. There's a ton of information out there. Inform yourself.

Musk claims to be "expanding production to profitability". Where are his new assembly lines? China. You don't run a third of your production out of temporary structures as a plan. That's desperation. When the shine wears off of Tesla, there will be many unhappy people.....or maybe I'm wrong. Let's see what happens.

I'm still waiting on the flying cars from the '60s.
