Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

Now that’s a sweet ass collection of cars @Superveloce ! I’m now officially jealous.

Frak I wish I had that gene for hustling and building businesses! Working like a sap for others.

Good job!

At least the Mach-E doesn't burst into flames when you crash it. This poor thing took a real tumble.

Was Tesla Model S in Texas Crash on 'Autopilot'? Musk Denies

CEO Elon Musk insists the self-driving feature couldn't have been deployed where the car crashed and that the owner had not purchased Full Self-Driving for it.

I thought they were sending live data back to Tesla no? In any case Musk making comments without bothering to look at the data available is unsurprising and meaningless. Pull the data, state facts. Don't just blow smoke.

Facts? Musk? I'm surprised he didn't accuse them of being pedophiles in the tweet.

Consumer Reports Shows How Easy It Is To Use Tesla Autopilot With No One In The Driver's Seat

A fatal Tesla crash this weekend that involved an apparently driverless Model S has renewed safety questions about Tesla Autopilot, including whether there are enough safeguards to ensure drivers are paying attention while it’s engaged. Consumer Reports found this week that the answer is, uh, no.

Autopilot buddy has been available for a long time. Tesla is criminally negligent in this whole "autopilot" mess. They very carefully walk the line of selling "full self-driving" and "autopilot" while having enough legalise buried in the agreements to blame the drivers for using what they bought.

How many judges/lawyers/regulators have a substantial investment in TSLA and setting off that bomb would result in a large personal loss (on paper as it was all phantom money anyway)?

Surely these cars have a seat occupancy sensor? The fact that the seat occupancy sensor can suddenly flip to "unoccupied" and it doesn't set off bells and whistles and either start looking for driver engagement in some concrete fashion beyond "rest your hands on the steering wheel" and/or start pulling over the car and stopping.
 
They do have a seat occupancy sensor. What they do with that sensor, is quite another matter.

Requires a wee bit of caution ... sometimes people will brace themselves with their arms on the center armrest and the door armrest and lift themselves up to reposition their butt, thus momentarily unloading the weight sensor ... but personally, I wouldn't really have a problem with alarms going off (and autopilot disengaging) if that happens.

My van complains that the airbag system is malfunctioning if I leave my laptop on the passenger seat once in a while. Remove laptop from seat and toss it on the floor ... fixed.

samsies.

In the X5 occasionally my laptop, lunch bag and a jacket is enough for the passenger airbag sensor to think there's someone there without a seatbelt on mid ride.

I disabled the seatbelt warning lamp in my car. Too annoying having the light flickering on and off if there was something on the seat.

light wouldnt bother me, but the warning tone over rides my music. :mad:
 
Fair, my Volt does the same thing with the passenger seat....but, there's solutions for the drivers seat issues of shifting weight or whatnot - if occupancy=0 for more than, say, 5 seconds, then start dinging an alarm and start prompting for some driver interaction that would signal the driver is actually in the seat - say, step on the gas pedal and flip on the high beams or something. If no response, then Autopilot=disable.

There's lots of very easy "are you still there?" crosschecks that could be done on any modern car that's smart enough to have an autopilot system to begin with, simple seat occupancy sensor aside.
