The fact that Teslas have been permitted on US roads at all since Autopilot rolled out is clear proof the regulatory body isn't functioning as it should.

Teslas should be illegal on US roads until Autopilot is removed, renamed, and retooled, and significant oversight is put into place in Tesla's production and software release processes.

Ten years after I bought it Toyota warned me about the possibility some third party service people might've installed an improper part which could cause a problem. Tesla sometimes ships their cars from the factory with pieces of wood in them they got at Home Depot.

"Move fast and break things" is an absolutely intolerable attitude for a car manufacturer.



It's funny how much Elon trashes US regulatory agencies for interfering, when in fact that they let him do whatever he wants.


He just doesn't like the idea of there being people who can tell him what to do, or make him obey laws like the rest of us.
