Re: Tesla Cyberpuke
On the subject of Musk talking shit - ""Full"" "Self"" Driving killed someone. While still in FSD, as opposed to it's usual alleged trick of walking someone into an accident and handing back control and saying "ho ho, your problem now"

There's more in there, but that's the gist of it.Washington State Patrol investigators have found that the Tesla involved in the death of a motorcyclist on Friday, April 19, 2024 was operating in Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode.
According to state patrol communications director Chris Loftis, the case is still being actively investigated.
"But our criminal investigative division has confirmed that the Tesla was in Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) mode at the time of the collision," Loftis told The Register Wednesday.
"Eventually, it will be up to the Snohomish County Prosecutor to determine if any charges are filed in the case."
Jeff Nissen, 28, of Stanwood, Washington, was killed on April 19 when he was struck by a 2022 Tesla Model S. The crash occurred on eastbound State Route 522, east of Maltby.
According to court documents cited in a Fox 13 Seattle report, the 56-year-old driver of the Tesla told first responders he was looking at his phone while the car was driving itself.
The "vehicle lurched forward as it accelerated and collided with the motorcycle in front of him," the court filings reportedly stated.
Loftis said the driver was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide, based on his own admission that his attention was elsewhere and he was not in full control of his vehicle. The driver has posted bond and now awaits a charging decision.
Washington State does not permit self-driving vehicles to operate, with the exception of companies that have entered into certified testing arrangements with the Department of Licensing. Currently, Loftis said, Nvidia, Waymo, and Zoox are certified to test self-driving cars in the US West Coast state.
"Laws on the issue of autonomous vehicle capacity might vary by state to state or locale, but it is imperative that the traveling public remember the driver/operator is ALWAYS responsible for the safe and legal operation of their vehicle in any locale in the State of Washington," said Loftis.
"A car may have the capacity to be driven autonomously but that does not give the driver the legal right to do so. "
Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.
As of June 2023, Tesla's Autopilot (a subset of FSD capabilities) had reportedly been involved in 17 fatalities and 736 crashes.

Whistlin Diesel has started to drop his durability tests
bookmarked to watch later

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke
I saw that last night, the way the rear towbar is connected to the subframe is utterly unacceptable and I can see that writing off the car just through normal use and metal fatigue.
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Tesla Cyberpuke
They did a snatch with a chain, what did they expect. It would pull the rear crossmember away doing a snatch with a chain on a 3 ton truck aswell.

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke
There’s plenty of videos of Americans pulling a stump with a chain with an ancient truck. Usually the truck abruptly stops. The driver goes through the windscreen. But it doesn’t snap the ladder frame in two.

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke
Neither had that, it’s pulled the rear crossmember away, which is extruded ?
Maybe it was done to keep the weight so low

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke
Looks like the x member/hitch is mounted to the extruded chassis, then there’s a extruded crash structure mounted to the hitch.

Rear tow hitch/x member is solid steel. Steel is stronger than extruded steel. So it’s just ripped it off where it mounts to the extrusion. From the video the extrusion looks like the anti corrosion coated steel which is what the main chassis is rather than shiny aluminium crash structure.

I don’t know realistically how well that can be repaired.
