A duo of Tesla shareholder-influencers tried to complete Elon Musk’s coast-to-coast self-driving ride that he claimed Tesla would be able to do in 2017 and they crashed before making it about 60 miles.
From the article. I don’t think the Bearded Tesla Guy youtube channel was trying to have their tesla fail so quickly and spectacularly. I think they just wanted to rely fully on self driving and got unlucky with something being in the middle of the road.
You’re probably right. That’s not enough to avoid downvotes because you potentially don’t count yourself among the Tesla haters. If your comment is ambiguous to the point where people aren’t sure where you stand, they will assume the worst.
I can handle downvotes ;-)
It’s funny how one needs to really tow the exact mindset of a sub on lemmy or get downvoted or even banned. In some ways it’s even worse than reddit.
For the record, I hate Tesla because of Elon. Some of the actual engineering is cool. I have a Tesla (bought before Elon went off the deep end) and quite like it. I wouldn’t buy another now.
I think they planned for it to fail; maybe not this fast. But there’s much more engagement bait potential with everyone loving to hate Tesla.

Maybe. Or they’re just trying to make a buck as the ship sinks.
I like my Tesla, but it really has trouble driving by itself in many situations.
The irony of people downvoting you is that they probably also love to hate Tesla, or at least what it’s become under Elon.
I know I do. We all know Elon didn’t make shit, but he still thinks of it as his baby, that’s why I love to see these types of fails.
