    If I were a driver, I'd simply keep my automobile on land.

    Curious. I backed my car up earlier and it was super easy. Didn't drown, didn't need to break a window to save myself. Maybe I'm just infinitely smarter.

        Because I'm too busy thinking of ways to not drown in a pond.

      Making a three point turn in a newer model x requires tapping on a touchscreen to shift between drive and reverse.

      There's also an optional "smart" feature that's supposed to automatically switch into either drive or reverse but because it uses cameras and not ultrasonic sensors shadows often confuse it.

          If you got the time to watch a video on it, it's from a stan but despite his praise (well mostly) it's a pretty good demonstration of how absolutely ridiculous it is now.
          Either swiping on the side of the screen, relying on a beta feature that doesn't work well, or touching essentially hidden capacitive "buttons" that by default aren't lit.

          Edit: this is for the 2021 model S but the 2021+ model X works the same way.

          Yeah I'm not gonna mourn her passing and from context clues she was probably a little drunk. But Tesla still "innovated" out the physical shifter making this sort of thing an inevitability.

    one fire department crew arrived on the scene 24 minutes after getting a call.

    So she was already long dead

    Efforts to resuscitate Chao began immediately with paramedics attempting to revive her for 43 minutes.

    Only billionaires get this treatment

      The Virgin Angela Chow: "Help, I, a billionaire, am drowning in my Redditmobile, gurgle gurgle" wastes hours of firefighter and paramedic time and resources. Waterlogged corpse gets dunked on.

      The Chad Aaron Bushnell: "I will no longer be complicit in genocide, free Palestine" wastes hours of Israeli embassy security and US police time and resources. Immortalised in flames, gets vigils from China to Lebanon.

      Isn't the cybertruck nominally kind of waterproof or something? I mean even your average car takes a while to sink and fill up with water, I could imagine the cybertruck holding out shittily but survivably for a good, I dunno, 20 minutes or so?

      His joker laughing reminds me of my own maniacal breakdown. Back in 2020 when it was looking increasingly clear that Bernie was going to get ratfucked, I was getting drunk in a discord call with some friends. I randomly saw that fucking picture of Brandon's exploding eye. And I just fucking lost it. Laughing hysterically, unable to breathe or move or think. All I could choke out was "we're all gonna fucking die". I guess we're all allotted one of those moments in our lifetime.
