Mr. Musk (peace be upon you, SIR) it is with a heavy heart I must report the airbags failed and killed my wife, SIR, but rest assured my love for you and TESLA will never die unlike my nagging wife.

This makes we want to become a 60 year old Boeing engineer that calls it die-by-wire

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 46 points 7 months ago

die-by-wire

Coincidentally also a technique employed by Boeing's whistleblower department.

Wait so the braking force applied by the regen decreases if the vehicle gets hot?

Isn't that extremely dangerous? Imagine while driving normally, you know that the car will slow down at a certain rate if you lift the throttle. Now that rate of deacceleration while off throttle changes depending on the temperature of the vehicle. That kind of inconsistency leads to accidents, as shown here.

[-] Posadas@hexbear.net 37 points 7 months ago

You've heard of rng.

Now it's time for randomized breaking distance.

[-] ProfessorAdonisCnut@hexbear.net 19 points 7 months ago

Just throw the battery into the ocean to keep it cool

[-] InternetLefty@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago

Interestingly enough, hydraulic brakes will also stop working the same way when the temperature of the fluid reaches the boiling point, which reduces the braking pressure significantly. Not a problem in most consumer vehicles in most situations, though. I'm assuming that the regenerative braking is either on or off, and might change quickly. It would be ideal if the mechanical brakes phased in as the regenerative braking phased out - I wonder if that's what they intended to do here, but didn't get it working?

Wait so the braking force applied by the regen decreases if the vehicle gets hot?

Do you want it to over charge an already hot battery and start a fire too?

[-] CascadeOfLight@hexbear.net 28 points 7 months ago

susie-laugh God, Teslas are truly the gift that keeps on giving, the pinnacle of car technology. Yes please, I would like my car to catch fire when I brake.

[-] djphdk@hexbear.net 21 points 7 months ago

Consistent braking or no battery fire; can't have both.

Truly a pinnacle of engineering.

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 20 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I think we just expect things to work properly. Maybe a mechanical element that helps normalise these fluctuations.

But yeah, the car bursting into flames and killing the occupant would be fucking hilarious.

[-] Beaver@hexbear.net 19 points 7 months ago

The ~~bus~~ cybertruck can't slow down under 50mph or else it will explode

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The car's computer should phase in the mechanical disc brakes as the regen braking force decreases to maintain a consistent deacceleration rate while off throttle or braking.

Critical support for Tesla still trying to kill people with too much cash, even if this attempt failed.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 18 points 7 months ago

They got that billionaire CEO, truly more praxis that anyone here.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 49 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Why do I know the name REbr0 ?

Intense feeling I've come across it before.

EDIT: Oh shit is this the CTH mod that was whacky as fuck?

[-] abc@hexbear.net 44 points 7 months ago

EDIT: Oh shit is this the CTH mod that was whacky as fuck?

yes lol

[-] Kestrel@hexbear.net 37 points 7 months ago

Yep they were not very popular at the end lol https://hexbear.net/u/rebr0

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 29 points 7 months ago

Inspirational level of permanently held anger

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 17 points 7 months ago

The top comment on one Rebr0s threads was from BasedBall

God, those were such interesting times

Lmfao is that betos campaign manager and hexbear lurker Rebr0?

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 21 points 7 months ago

But of course! I remember the stench

[-] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 21 points 7 months ago

Holy shit it can't be the same guy

[-] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 34 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I saw a couple of these while I was driving down a precarious mountain road yesterday, good to know that the driver could have lost control at literally any point and plowed into me.

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 17 points 7 months ago

I saw one on the road for the first time the other day

Very wtf moment

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 31 points 7 months ago

Elon is such a gamer he added a frame delay to the brakes

control-by-wire with Tesla testing and quality control characteristics

[-] buh@hexbear.net 31 points 7 months ago

Didn’t rebr0 get banned from here for defending the troops on veterans day

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 22 points 7 months ago

That was 7deadlyfetishes, rebr0 didn't actually come here at all IIRC.

Even the greats are not immune to a purge

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 27 points 7 months ago

Full drive by wire sure is a bold choice. These things just keep failing in new and exciting ways.

[-] Melonius@hexbear.net 27 points 7 months ago

Still love the boot though bootlicker

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 25 points 7 months ago

This is no longer bootlicking, the boot is now firmly implanted itself within their frontal lobe

[-] chungusamonugs@hexbear.net 22 points 7 months ago

Trillions of dollars spent on auto devleopment globally. Companies still can't build anything better than a '95 corolla with a 5-speed.

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 21 points 7 months ago

Holy shit I brought back a rental once because it applied the brakes when I didn't want it to I can't imagine a car thinking it's smarter than the driver and overriding his input to brake.

kelly Musk-ochist

(in case it's unclear, going for a pun on masochist here)

[-] LemonGrease@hexbear.net 12 points 7 months ago

My truck shot my wife in the neck and launched a dozen photon torpedoes at the hospital I was staying in for the broken neck it gave me when the brakes failed. Still love the truck tho
