Come for the video of a Tesla Robotaxi driving double the speed limit and hitting speed bumps like they are Mario Kart ramps…
… But stay for the conversation about social media silos and corporate disinformation campaigns!

The source is a fake website with the only articles being about criticizing Tesla. I am not a fan of Tesla or Musk, to say the least, but this is no better than X’s propaganda…
I know you don’t live here so you can just be relaxed and ummm acckktually from behind your keyboard. But please understand that real humans live on the streets that this dangerous machine is careening through, and it’s only a matter of time before it kills someone. Intentional acts of violence must be stopped immediately, and they don’t need a devil’s advocate. Please watch any of the footage from the last 3 days of operation, it’s very straightforward and clear to any observer just how fucked up and dangerous these machines are.
Edit: Aren’t you a mod on the SpaceX board? I’m not sure I trust you when you say you’re “not a fan of Tesla or Musk” considering you run a fan club for one of Musk’s companies XD
I’m the automotive equivalent of a muckraker, so yeah, Tesla does enough weird stuff that I talk about them a lot. They’re hardly the ONLY news I cover.
Take this article, for instance, it was on the front page of Hacker News for a couple days, got decent circulation in European automotive magazines, too: https://fuelarc.com/tech/pop-up-ads-in-your-jeep-the-latest-stellantis-innovation/
Believe what you like, but the videos in that article are just videos, it’s not like those aren’t first-hand driving footage just because you dislike where you found them.
Pretty bold claim. Who can we trust in this scenario? How do we trust you?
We don’t.

Oh shit 😆👍 Thanks for the clarity. I knew my gut feeling was tingling in the right frequency in this case.
Well you can check the site yourself, that ain’t too hard to do
I did, and now I did again. I don’t see/understand any clues to it being a “fake website” after browsing around and looking at various pages and articles. 🤷♂️ Can somebody help me understand? (Besides the condescending “just look at it”, thanks!)
