    I didn’t know at the time, years ago. I was just like OMG Delorean truck!

    Bullet dodged.

        Most of its issues were fixed by vin 3000 or so (out of about 9000 total). It was 90% brilliant, but the last few details and forced design changes just killed it.

      You know, I think that Musk wanted Cybertrucks to be bulletproof for the same reason I don’t worry about mine being bulletproof:

      If you’re not a huge piece of shit, people won’t be taking potshots at you.

          I thought all drive-by-wire was illegal because of the lag. 1/8s does seem very possible to make a difference between life and death.

          The article listed another car with 0.28s lag as responding faster. Do you know if that’s a typo or is my brain not working?

          Thank you for sharing this. I don’t want a car with that much lag on the controls. It sounds like it isn’t just Tesla, it is something you need to check on any model EV.

            No idea if it’s a typo, sorry. But that lag is scary as hell.
