#Tesla worker killed in fiery crash may be first ‘Full Self-Driving’ fatality
Evidence suggests the advanced driver-assistance system was engaged during a fatal crash that killed recruiter Hans von Ohain in 2022

"The lawyers who voided Elon #Musk's $56 billion compensation as excessive on Friday sought a record a $6 billion legal fee, payable in the electric car maker's stock.
"We recognize that the requested fee is unprecedented in terms of absolute size," the three law firms said in a filing with the Court of Chancery in Delaware.
The fee works out to an hourly rate of $288,888, they said." #Tesla
On our drive up to Canada, we spotted a #Tesla Cybertruck on the road. Whoa. It looked like what a 1950s sci-fi movie’s idea of a 1970s car would look like. What a laughable eyesore.

Tesla has settled a lawsuit over the fatal Model X crash, which killed Apple engineer Wei Lun Huang in 2019.
The company confirmed Autopilot was turned on, but had always insisted driver error was to blame. However, as @engadget reports, Tesla settled out of court on the day that the trial's jury selection was due to take place.

Total Recall
(Screenshot from ‘Total Recall’ below. It’s the dystopian Arnold Schwarzenegger film from 1990. Kinda funny since the cybertruck is facing a total recall right now 😂)

“#Tesla has cut prices in a number of its major markets - including in China and Germany - after price cuts in the United States - as it grapples with falling sales and an intensifying price war for electric vehicles (EVs), especially against cheaper Chinese EVs.”

U.S. auto safety regulators said Friday they have opened an investigation into whether #Tesla's recall of more than 2 million vehicles announced in December to install new Autopilot safeguards is adequate.

Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving has been linked to hundreds of crashes and dozens of deaths, according to a federal investigation published today.
“In total, NHTSA investigated 956 crashes, starting in January 2018 and extending all the way until August 2023,” reports @theverge. “Of those crashes, some of which involved other vehicles striking the Tesla vehicle, 29 people died. There were also 211 crashes in which ‘the frontal plane of the Tesla struck a vehicle or obstacle in its path.’ These crashes, which were often the most severe, resulted in 14 deaths and 49 injuries.”

#Tesla has backed away from an ambitious plan for innovations in gigacasting, its pioneering manufacturing process, according to two sources familiar with the matter, in another sign that the electric-vehicle maker is retrenching amid falling sales and rising competition.

Musk undercuts the Biden admin's EV charging initiative:
"Elon Musk has upended a deal the WH saluted early last year to open Tesla’s chargers to other automakers, dealing a blow to Pres Biden’s EV agenda.
Musk decided in the last week to eliminate almost the entire Supercharger team at Tesla. He hasn’t publicly confirmed the move or offered a rationale, but has said the co will slow the expansion of its charging network."
This is truly one of the more baffling decisions I’ve seen in a long time. Tesla is a leader in charging infrastructure, to the degree that virtually every other carmaker is even adopting its standard.
Then Elon Musk laid off the entire Supercharger team.

When people ask why I waste my time with this account, it is because of this. He is freaking dangerous.
I know I will not change anything by myself, but ... he is freaking dangerous.
I just wonder why in the world a publication that publishes this still has a link to Twitter, but not to their Threads account, or an account on Mastodon. Thoughts? @motherjonesmag
