THE TELSA AUTO SELF DRIVING EXPERIMENT

“I never really thought not having to fully pay attention while driving was a good idea, but that’s me. I suppose that the “self-driving” concept would work well on a closed loop roadway where all of the autos were all controlled using the same system. And the road environment was totally managed, no or less real-world surprises. ”

Those of you who attempt to insult and detract from the Tesla must be worshippers of Edison! Tesla invented nearly everything we today use and call modern technology. He invented it directly, or it was based on his pioneering work.
So stop with the insults!

So you don’t think it is a serious limitation that unless the battery is kept above a threshold it is destroyed? So let’s say you go on vacation for a month. You conscientiously plug in the Tesla. A circuit breaker fails and the circuit goes dead, or a mouse chews a wire, or someone borrows the extension cord, or any one of a number of possibilities. You came back and your Tesla is dead with a $40k repair bill. You don’t think that’s a problem? Amazing…

Musk as well as other government tied corporations of rocketry , are only funneling tax dollars at projects that Will Never fly. these monies are directed to the development of something beyond the understanding of the supporting tax money suppliers and may in fact appear as Alien Tech when compared to the burning of your thumb with a friction implied ignition of a burning match.

Gas delivered to a somewhat measured volume of air and then compressed and introduced to a source of ignition and …..Waaa Laaaa.!!!!!! although there has been Many advancements in engine-head development as well as more concise control of burnable fuel mixtures, we have yet to develop any aspect of viable fuel source that is readily available while being somewhat safe in the hands of the masses.

Coolant loss in any vehicle in any kind of repair is very minimal, and oil changes might have to be done a couple of times a year. Even if you don’t change the oil or check the coolant, you can drive a fossil-fuel vehicle a good long time before serious problems develop, and if you have to replace the engine, it’ll be about 1/10th of the Tesla battery replacement cost. Internal combustion engines don’t require the constant attention that batteries do.

I recently re-activated a car that had been sitting in storage for four years. A $20 dollar junkyard battery, some gas for the tank and a little for the carb, and 30 seconds of cranking while the fuel pump moved gas out of the tank, and I had a car that would at least get to a garage under it’s own power. Technology is supposed to make life easier.

The article is hyperventilating over nothing. It’s like having a headline that Ford is selling a car that will need a new engine if you never change the oil or fail to keep the coolant filled. If someone is going to let their car sit unused for months at a time, making a fairly trivial maintenance effort to keep the battery from depleting completely hardly seems a huge burden.
