  • Assuming this is real, I don’t see how this is legal? There’s no way Tesla would win in court under any sane judge. If they bought the car outright and fully own it (i.e. didn’t lease it from Tesla), then that is the car owner’s property.

    I’m fairly certain that it won’t go before a judge. If Tesla doesn’t have a forced arbitration clause https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitration_clause in their contracts I would be truly surprised.

    The manufacturer can’t, effectively, sabotage your property without consequence.

    I don’t own a Tesla and dont have access to a US contract, but it wouldnt be far fetched that there’s something in there about Tesla reserving the right to use a kill switch at their discretion.

    I truly hope this is not real,

    You and me both. But we live in a stupid timeline, and I can no longer tell what’s outrageously real and what’s rage bait.



  • It’s a small thing, and irrelevant to your comment, and I’m sorry for any embarrassment I may cause you. You’re using the wrong word. When a car actively decelerates it is braking https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/brake-or-break-difference

    Other than that, I do agree with you, I put about 50k km (30k miles) on the odometer each year, and the amount of shitty drivers out there is astounding. The other day I saw an elderly couple trying to enter a roundabout. It was a busy section of road during rush hour. Driver was looking both right and left, instead of just looking left like you’re supposed to. They had a clear left, but oh no car is entering the two lane roundabout to our right, we better yield … Generally roundabouts, it’s like people didn’t hear about them when training for their license.
