Ah.. If I remember correctly; not being in a carwash mode caused the screen to freeze and because of a bug the hard reset took hours instead of minutes. The car was back up and running the next day and I believe the bug has been patched as well

Personally I would enjoy spending $100k+ to get to be the beta tester for a half-baked product

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 4 months ago

Don't worry, the guy who came up with the Idea was fully baked

[–] MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Thank you for the fact check

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 0 points 4 months ago

Its embarrassing that people are downvoting a post providing context. They're acting like you are here defending the cyber truck.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Unacceptable behavior for a vehicle.

[–] demonsword@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

complaining about downvotes usually gets you more downvotes more often than not

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's not the downvotes that's the issue. It's the insanity of being blinded by hatred to the point of not being able to think straight anymore.

[–] demonsword@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

you might disagree with me here, but IMO hating Musk (or any billionaire) is morally right though

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Hate is a toxic emotion. It poisons your own mind but leaves the target of it unaffected.

Also as I don't believe in free will, hate is an uncompatible concept with my world view anyway. It assumes the person I'm directing my anger towards is personally responsible for who they are. In my view they could not be otherwise. I wouldn't hate a bear for being violent so I also don't hate Musk for being an asshole.

How does one not believe in free will? Asking seriously.

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just a heads up that this topic makes some people feel really uncomfortable to think about.

It's because I don't think the "self" exists either. Without a self there's nothing that even could make decisions to begin with. I don't believe in some "entity" or a "sould" somewhere inside our heads, behind our faces, looking out into the world and making independent decisions. We're not authoring our thoughts and actions. They're just appearing. You don't know what you're going to think next, and you can't think of a thought before you think it. You can even observe this happening in real time by just paying close enought attention.

We're biological beings that consist of matter, and matter obeys the laws of physics. "Free will" as in "I could've done otherwise" doesn't make any logical sense to me. If we could go back in time we'd all do the same things all over again. That's how deterministic universe works. The key factor here is consciousness. It feels like something to be. The sense of free will is probably useful belief for survival, but for the very least I'd argue that it's not like most people think it is.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's an interesting take. Strikes me as a bit nihilistic, but I'm sure this is the most surface of explanations lacking the depth of concept to really get the idea across. I can't say it jives with me, but I have heard less reasonable notions.

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago

Yeah I find it interesting how many see the idea as negative. I find it freeing in many ways and it helps me make much better sense of the world and people, I think.

Sam Harris can explain it better than I ever could in case you're interested.

That’s not something that should happen to a car that is on the road.

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago

It did not. The vehicle was in the owner's carage. I believe it was water in the charging port that caused the front screen to freeze up. Everything else was working normally.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Technically a car wash is not the road. Checkmate, atheists.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Waiting for the day we see the advisement to put the Tesla into carwash mode during heavy rainfalls.

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

But the Cybertruck is advertised as an off-road vehicle. Elonvangelists in shambles.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

My “car wash mode” is rolling up the windows, haven’t ever had the car I own brick itself on me.

[–] experbia@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

wow. does the factory that made it have absolutely no quality control processes in place? I would be embarrassed to own a vehicle that did that, and more than a little worried about its safety.
