It’s always been a low-status profession, the pay is just better now

Exactly. Every bad situation I’ve been in with FSD was when I misread the situation and disengaged it during a maneuver that it was handling safely

Does no one remember when Obama did this for the exact same reason in Lybia? He wasn’t as dumb about it, but the outcome will be the same.

I own a 2023 model Y and have never had charging issues, and use FSD successfully every day.

Nobody is even close on software. I’m honestly shocked more software people here don’t appreciate Tesla more for their software efforts. If you’d prefer the traditional automaker route of contracting out software to cheap labor in third world countries then ok, but you’re working against yourself

Because traditional car companies aren’t interested in buying software that they can’t get built by cheap contractors. Tesla actually hires high end engineers to build software, and that’s not cheap.

IBM is just an Indian labor arbitrage company at this point, why anyone believes they’re capable of this type Id advancement is beyond me

Seriously? The entire article was just calling out obvious problems while tapdancing around the heinous possibility of (gasp!) blaming liberals for any of it

Pretty weak to go through all of this and not mention immigration and outsourcing as the control mechanisms

They’re being cheap. None of it is vertically integrated and it’s all outsourced to the cheapest third world contractor they can find.
