45% Failure rate!

A 4 year old model Y revision just reached the age of mandatory safety check here in Denmark.

Article in Danish:
https://fdm.dk/nyheder/nyt-om-trafik-og-biler/tesla-skandalen-fortsaetter-naesten-hver-anden-tesla-model-y-dumper-til-syn

Translation of the headline:
The TESLA Scandal continues, almost every 2nd Tesla model Y flunk safety check.

The previous record was held Buy Tesla model 3 with about a third of the cars failing!
The average for all brands is about 7%.
And a similar priced VW ID.4 is less than 2%. LESS THAN!
Without question the VW is way better quality, and even the cheapest Chinese cars we can get here have way lower failure rate than Tesla!

So very obviously Tesla and safety are not things that go together.

Sweden has just allowed the fascist car to begin testing it's ~~self driving~~ murder mode on Swedish roads.

WTF?!
I know Sweden is way more liberal with what is considered street legal than Denmark,

systemet kräver i sin nuvarande form ständig förarövervakning

Translation: The system in its current form requires constant driver supervision

So it's more like "assisted self driving" which of course is an oxymoron.

I åratal har Tesla sålt funktionen ”total självkörningsförmåga”

Translation: For years Tesla has sold the function "fully autonomous (self) driving."

I wonder why they are allowed to advertise that?
But it seems it is following EU regulation, so I guess we can't blame Sweden for it. But those shitty Tesla cars shouldn't be street legal in EU even without FSD.

I'm confused whether to like or not this post.

... and since yesterday, this is the only thing in the future of Tesla.

fElon just threw Tesla over a cliff

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago

Tesla’s KPIs aren’t selling good cars or making customers happy. There’s only one, and it’s making money for investors. It’s never been worth anything close to its valuation. It’s just a tool (run by a tool) for tools to get rich on.

I try to ignore news about Tesla for the most part, what happened?

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (3 children)

They are no longer going to produce models S or 3 and declared themselves a "transportation as a service" company (so a taxi company instead of a car maker)

[–] Humanius@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think that is incorrect. They discontinued the model X and model S, meaning they are only going to focus on the model 3 and model Y (which are their better selling models)

…and the cyberdumpster,keebingthat because, reasons

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

lol, lets see how that works out for them...

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Well, millions of morons are still buying their shit (including power products and services), and investors are super pleased, and Elon and other execs are making out like bandits. And there's no sign of that changing dramatically.

So pretty well, as far as they're concerned.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Model S and X. The least selling luxury models is what they are stopping,

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

and keeping the cyberdumpster because?

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Naa, he just will lie his way out of it by claiming new future markets worth trillions like AI and robotics he will "dominate"

Stock up 4%

Totally legit stock market we have here

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

The stock also went up after being handed a 230 million verdict against and Europe numbers coming out showing a sharp decline of sales in a growing market
