  • The high end Tesla's have the stupid doorhandles. The low end (Y and 3) have manual door handles, they're just recessed so you have to press the thick part in to present the handle. In practice it's a non issue unless things that are slightly different stun lock you into inaction.

    The subscription thing is overblown in my opinion.

    Autopilot is the big one where it matters. You get TACC and Auto steer on freeways for free.

    Navigation on autopilot, auto Lane change, auto park, summoning the car and moving the car through the app are all locked behind an Enhanced Autopilot option you can buy.

    FSD unlocks austosteer on city streets and auto stoping/going at stop signs and traffic lights. You can buy it outright or rent it on a month to month basis, and switch between the three modes at will.

    Most non-autopilot features are free but require internet, so you can either pay Tesla ~$9 a month for unlimited car data, or connect your car to wifi (hotspot while driving).

    I think only careoke, live traffic / satellite view on maps, and remotely interfacing with the car (viewing the car cameras through the app, etc) actually require a subscription to premium connectivity, but I'm not 100% sure those don't work over WiFi.

    oh, there's also a one-time performance package you can buy if you want to destroy your tires even faster than normal.

    And I won't defend the goofy Cybertruck (I would drive one of it had launched for at the promised price and range), but how does that existing count as a mark against owning an EV, or even a Tesla?

  • I am very confused by your comment. Are you saying Putin never said that, or are you saying he was lying?

    From Putin's actual mouth:

    ON DECISION TO LAUNCH 'SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION'

    "We saw military infrastructure being ramped up, hundreds of military advisers working and regular deliveries of modern weapons from NATO. (The level of) danger was increasing every day. Russia preventively rebuffed the aggressor. It was necessary, timely and ... right. The decision of a sovereign, strong, independent country."

    Just to be clear, he definitely said that, but he was definitely lying.

  • The opposite. In the face of humiliation, the world worries about Putin launching nukes. A no-name lackey that lucks into the spot after Putin gets defenestrated would double down, not pull back. They would redouble their efforts to appear strong because they feel vulnerable.
