Mr. Musk (peace be upon you, SIR) it is with a heavy heart I must report the airbags failed and killed my wife, SIR, but rest assured my love for you and TESLA will never die unlike my nagging wife.

This makes we want to become a 60 year old Boeing engineer that calls it die-by-wire

[–] [email protected] 44 points 8 months ago

die-by-wire

Coincidentally also a technique employed by Boeing's whistleblower department.

Wait so the braking force applied by the regen decreases if the vehicle gets hot?

Isn't that extremely dangerous? Imagine while driving normally, you know that the car will slow down at a certain rate if you lift the throttle. Now that rate of deacceleration while off throttle changes depending on the temperature of the vehicle. That kind of inconsistency leads to accidents, as shown here.

You've heard of rng.

Now it's time for randomized breaking distance.

Just throw the battery into the ocean to keep it cool

Do you want it to over charge an already hot battery and start a fire too?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago (1 children)

susie-laugh God, Teslas are truly the gift that keeps on giving, the pinnacle of car technology. Yes please, I would like my car to catch fire when I brake.

Lmao, Tesla made his rear left brake for the Australian GP. New sponsorship!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I think we just expect things to work properly. Maybe a mechanical element that helps normalise these fluctuations.

But yeah, the car bursting into flames and killing the occupant would be fucking hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

Consistent braking or no battery fire; can't have both.

Truly a pinnacle of engineering.

The ~~bus~~ cybertruck can't slow down under 50mph or else it will explode

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

The car's computer should phase in the mechanical disc brakes as the regen braking force decreases to maintain a consistent deacceleration rate while off throttle or braking.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Tesla explicitly doesn’t mix brakes and regen because the transition between the two is always awful. Instead they use confusers to measure how much regen is needed at any given moment and adjusts the resistance based on that.

Between hot/full battery, computers being stupid, and their owners even dumber that’s probably how this dumbass hit a pole.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

I've driven a non-Tesla electric car and the regenerative and mechanical braking both worked great and didn't have a startling transition between them. It just worked like I thought the brake pedal should.

Interestingly enough, hydraulic brakes will also stop working the same way when the temperature of the fluid reaches the boiling point, which reduces the braking pressure significantly. Not a problem in most consumer vehicles in most situations, though. I'm assuming that the regenerative braking is either on or off, and might change quickly. It would be ideal if the mechanical brakes phased in as the regenerative braking phased out - I wonder if that's what they intended to do here, but didn't get it working?

Why do I know the name REbr0 ?

Intense feeling I've come across it before.

EDIT: Oh shit is this the CTH mod that was whacky as fuck?

Yep they were not very popular at the end lol https://hexbear.net/u/rebr0

Critical support for Tesla still trying to kill people with too much cash, even if this attempt failed.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

They got that billionaire CEO, truly more praxis that anyone here.

Lmfao is that betos campaign manager and hexbear lurker Rebr0?

I saw a couple of these while I was driving down a precarious mountain road yesterday, good to know that the driver could have lost control at literally any point and plowed into me.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

I saw one on the road for the first time the other day

Very wtf moment

Didn’t rebr0 get banned from here for defending the troops on veterans day

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago (2 children)

That was 7deadlyfetishes, rebr0 didn't actually come here at all IIRC.

This is no longer bootlicking, the boot is now firmly implanted itself within their frontal lobe

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

Full drive by wire sure is a bold choice. These things just keep failing in new and exciting ways.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

Still love the boot though bootlicker

Holy shit I brought back a rental once because it applied the brakes when I didn't want it to I can't imagine a car thinking it's smarter than the driver and overriding his input to brake.

I hate this new "smart" world. I only want dumb devices.

Trillions of dollars spent on auto devleopment globally. Companies still can't build anything better than a '95 corolla with a 5-speed.

Cars and trucks suck but aren't there better EVs out there than Teslas?

Like didn't Ford make an F-150 Lightning electric truck? Don't Hyundai and Nissan make better electric cars?

Why ride in a known death trap?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

yeah but its a status symbol, for some reason shrug-outta-hecks

My truck shot my wife in the neck and launched a dozen photon torpedoes at the hospital I was staying in for the broken neck it gave me when the brakes failed. Still love the truck tho
