He...he can't help you. He's the nepo baby of people who owned blood mines. He doesn't actually know anything useful. Or care about you.

Lmao, imagine a car not working because of a software bug. That's just pathetic.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago

That's... Basically every car made in the last 15 years?

[-] faercol 24 points 2 months ago

The worst bug I had on my car had the onboard computer not starting, and the screen remaining black. It meant I had: no GPS, no music, no backup camera, and no parking sensor.

But apart from that, the car was driving perfectly normal, and all the other features were working as expected.

My 2017 mini hasn't had anything, even resembling that?

21 miles and screen absolutely covered in dust. These things must be sitting for ages and not selling. Not even a wipe down from the Tesla store.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 51 points 2 months ago

That screen is awfully dusty for a car you bought 10 minutes ago

[-] Peter_Arbeitsloser@feddit.org 32 points 2 months ago

Well, it still does have a protective foil on it and very few finger traces in the dust.

[-] kyle@lemm.ee 32 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Still, the bottom corner of the film is peeling. Could have been sitting on a lot for a long time, but peeling like that after only a few test drives at most?

Edit: I ended up digging into his Twitter page and everything is legit. And I'm baffled.

SMS conversation with Tesla support (LOL): tech support convo

Dropping it off: dropping off at service

"Your concern is closed."

Ahaha the garbage customer service they sell these days.

Ahahaha, oh wow, that tech support exchange.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 32 points 2 months ago

I'd expect the dealership to give it a quick detail before letting the customer drive away, even used car dealerships do that. But I guess when we're talking about Tesla all bets are off.

Swastidumpster doesn't really flow. We need alternatives for the cyberclunk. Anyone got suggestions?

[-] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 50 points 2 months ago

Some people use WankPanzer.

[-] Tramort@programming.dev 14 points 2 months ago

Based on Grimes' tweet maybe the pegwagon?

I love that people think @elonmusk is a valid technical support approach

Oh well, it sucks to be you, a Muskrat dick-sucker.

[-] FrChazzz@lemm.ee 26 points 2 months ago

I know it’s fun to hate on the CyberTruck (absolutely has deserved it), but I’d bet money on this being a 12v battery issue, maybe from improper storage? Only reason I say this is that I have a Kia Soul EV and it gave me pretty much the exact same warning the other day and refused to start. Turned out the 12v battery was dead and that causes all kinds of weird stuff to happen to the electrical systems in the car. Especially considering that the entire electrical system of the CT is consolidated into one wiring harness.

Also, knowing Tesla, attempting to jump the 12v would probably void a warranty.

Cyberbeast... Lmao. Anything to try and make your worst purchasing mistake sound cool.

[-] LennartMeri@lemm.ee 16 points 2 months ago

It is just the actual name for the most powerful version of the Cybertruck

[-] ragingdachshund@lemm.ee 24 points 2 months ago

You just need to seig heil harder, bro

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

It does that right before it locks you in and catches on fire

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 2 months ago

Yeah no this is sus. How is that screen so dusty when its a new car. I mean fuck tesla, their cars suck ass, but this doesnt make sense.

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 47 points 2 months ago

If you look closely at the second image, it looks like it still has the peelies on it. Those things are dust magnets.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

They aren't being cleaned? You think basic maintenance is happening on those trashcans?

[-] kyle@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

Honestly I was with you, it was weird.

I did some digging and found the tweet, he's a kool aid drinking tech bro and backed up his claim with a selfie and screenshots from speaking with their support center.

Can chalk this one up to actually terrible products.

As with most electronics, the most likely times for failure are shortly after manufacture and years later after use. Failures in the middle are generally rare, hence the warranty.

There are components where quality testing can only give a pass/fail so there's no way to know that it barely passed until it fails shortly after.

This isn't unique to Tesla, or even EVs. This happens with nearly all electronics. Many things can be tested more thoroughly and have lower quality limits set above what's actually required, but some stuff just can't be tested like that ahead of time.

And there's always just real life. They could have driven it home and parked near to a packrat who decided that a wiring harness looked like a good snack overnight. The car can't tell that a rat ate the wiring, it will just give generic errors for whatever isn't working right. Is that likely? No, but it is possible, and not something we would be able to tell from screenshots of the generic error screen telling the driver to schedule service.

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

This happens with nearly all electronics.

This happens to nearly all complex systems. It's called the Bathtub Curve: infant mortality at the beginning of an item's life, and after a relatively problem-free interval, a steady increase in problems that accelerates once it's past its planned-obsolescence point.

Oops, did they accidentally do the remote self-destruction on a vehicle that was already sold?

Cabin climate control system requires service.

Am I reading that right? Do you need a connection to an external service to turn on the air conditioning?

[-] j0hax@feddit.org 44 points 2 months ago

I would definitely interpret that as in "needs to be serviced at a garage/dealer."

It is definitely a computer. Things just stop working for no obvious reason sometimes.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 12 points 2 months ago

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[-] genuineparts@infosec.pub 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Literally says on the screen "Exiting and Reentering vehicle might restore operation." I hate the future.
