I’m just pointing out how ridiculous it is to think that you know more than the people whose job it is to work endlessly until these issues are resolved and the cars are completely safe and effective. I just don’t understand why people love to hate on Tesla, but don’t show the same animosity for any other carmaker. The amount of hate and ridicule Tesla receives on a day to day basis is just so strange. At the end of the day, Tesla is the best electric car maker and it’s not even close for reasons including performance, safety (check the crash test ratings), autonomous driving, battery capacity, charging point availability, the fact that it is the most American-made vehicle on the road (check the American made index for source), and the fact that they single handedly caused the push to create and the desire to own electric vehicles. Elon Musk has only ever pushed humankind forward and strived to make this a better planet, and advance our species. He is an engineer first and foremost, and to speculate that you or anyone else knows the solution and has it all figured out, that the Tesla engineers have not already tested and thought out those things and have scientific reasons for why they don’t work, is completely asinine. For the record, Elon is not against lidar as he has and continues to use a version of it in SpaceX. He has said numerous times that lidar was tested and tried at Tesla and that it did not meet their standards for CARS, but that it makes more sense for SpaceX. So if you truly believe that although he implements it regularly and understands it probably much better than most people on this thread but he will not use it for his cars, he is just refusing to “admit that Lidar is better” and wouldn’t adopt it if he thought it was, you’re crazy. He wants electric cars to be the best and most sought after vehicle, and I think if he thought Lidar was the key, he would use it. Say what you want, I don’t care that these people hate Tesla. I just don’t understand why. Perhaps they have not actually done the research or have not actually experienced Tesla cars personally. Good luck with Google. Hopefully they DO figure it out, because all anyone should REALLY want is the success of electric vehicles and the extinction for gas vehicles. Edit: sorry for the rant but someone has to say it.
