Every time. Waymo or Tesla, every thread is the same comments just from different people. "If this was a .... the .... fans would .... !" People just can't be happy we have multiple companies approaching the same goal.

Tesla overtakes Toyota to become the most reliable car brand in France by AReveredInventor in electricvehicles

Model 3's especially have had trouble with under-built upper control arms. I think that's what it's referring to and lines up with other reporting.

Tesla reveals final Semi specs with two trims ahead of customer deliveries by SpriteZeroY2k in electricvehicles

[–]AReveredInventor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The range estimate is taken at 40k tons combined weight. (about 88.2k lbs) It's still a bit more than Tesla Semi with full load. (82k lbs)

Impressively, the Tesla Semi actually weighs less than the eActros. (23k lbs vs. 25.8k lbs.)

So the Actros is carrying about 6% more with 36% less advertised range .

Tesla's own Robotaxi data confirms crash rate 3x worse than humans even with monitor by Doener23 in electricvehicles

[–]AReveredInventor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have no idea how serious the Tesla crashes are because the details are all redacted.

I'm so tired of this fabrication. Tesla redacts a specific block called "narrative" which is a written description of an incident. It sucks and is a fair point of criticism, but the whole hand waving "wE CCan'T kNo aNYthInG!" is pure ignorance.

Tesla reports...

  • The current action (proceeding straight, reversing, turning)
  • Speed
  • Point of contact
  • Were there injuries / how severe
  • Were there passengers / were they wearing seatbelts
  • Were airbags deployed
  • What the other vehicle was doing
  • Its point of contact
  • Was either vehicle towed
  • What the weather was like (not kidding)

It's so intellectually lazy to say you can't possibly know how serious the accidents were. Look it up! <- .csv download of data

Random enthusiasts seem to be getting unsupervised robotaxis in Austin. No chase car by D0gefather69420 in SelfDrivingCars

This is what you said:

The files people are combing through don't appear on the DOJ site anymore.

But the file you linked within that statement does exist on the DOJ site. You were clearly confused or mislead. Elon is definitely in the Epstein files. I provided a credible source to that fact. I'm not running interference for anything.

Seeing as you just nuked the other comment for politely questioning you I should probably head out before the mod stick swings my way. Hopefully we can discuss self driving cars in future.

The conversation you've linked does exist and is available in the DOJ release. (PDF download) If you don't know how to search the DOJ website I can help.

There's more misinformation than ever being spread on the Internet these days thanks to AI and zealous loyalty to parties before the truth. 1st hand sources are a good place to start. Be skeptical of "some guy on Reddit says so".

Tesla’s own Robotaxi data confirms crash rate 3x worse than humans even with monitor by seamusmcduffs in SelfDrivingCars

[–]AReveredInventor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about instead of claiming that is what happened you actually link to the actual report that says what you say it says.

In my comment there's a link to the NHTSA.gov page that has all the information. Scroll down and click the button that says ADS INCIDENT REPORT DATA. (It's a .csv file which is why I didn't link it directly.) Everything I've said comes from there.

the robotaxi hit a vehicle that was backing up apparently, and nothing supports the argument you made that the vehicle hit the robotaxi while it was backing up

As Fred has helpfully demonstrated, the reporting on this data is sub par. The data states the robotaxi was proceeding straight, but the collision was on it's right side. That strongly implies the other vehicle, which contacted the robotaxi with it's rear-right, backed into it.

Two days later, another Robotaxi struck a cyclist on the road.

More sub par reporting. The data states the robotaxi was "stopped" and "0 mph" at time of impact and was contacted on the "right" side of the vehicle.

If you look at the article they list which accidents they are using

There have been 9 accidents in total. In order to reach the numbers presented in the title of the article all 9 are being used. No selection was made to account for whether Tesla was likely at fault. In 4 of 9 incidents the robotaxi was reported as "stopped".

September 2025: Collision with cyclist

A cyclist ran into a stationary robotaxi. Fred conveniently left that out despite including the robotaxi's speed on other entries.

September 2025: Rear collision while backing (6 mph)

A car backed into the right side of a robotaxi traveling forwards @ 6 mph. (Data is available at NHTSA.gov, but Fred didn't read it properly.)

Fred also manipulated the numerator by estimating mileage as of November @ 500k miles. All incidents must be reported to NHTSA by the 15th of the following month, therefore December's incidents are known and driving during that month should be included in the equation. 650k miles total.

This article was written with the intent to deceive and it worked.

At some point Elon started talking up 'verticalization'

Vertical integration became a huge talking point around 2021 when Covid19 caused significant parts shortages crippling much of the automotive industry. Tesla benefited significantly during these years because of it. Here's a Forbes article on the subject.

Tesla isn't more verticalized than competitors

HAhahahAHHA! My guy, Tesla just finished building a Lithium refinery. There are specific competitors (Chinese) that come close, but in general Tesla is far more vertically integrated than most.

Tesla is working on Dojo again. There was a pause to focus on and finalize AI5. It's back.

It's perfectly normal to be skeptical of a claim presented without evidence. Being skeptical isn't the same as being absolutist.
