Tesla already has this now. The car bricks itself, the controls fail, lights on fire, people cant open the door and they burn so hot on top of the battery that it even turns their bones into powder.
So the feds are wasting their time with this.
Hm... I think that could be improved, though. Maybe by rethinking the 'can't open the door' and the fire? I feel like those parts, specifically, could use some workshopping. Maybe send it to a focus group for analysis?
I have a 2018 model 3 so I have mixed feelings on the matter. I do regret supporting musk in any way but in 2018 he seemed merely lame and nerdy. He hadnt even insulted the thai cave diver rescuer guy yet, or attacked the pandemic response, or turned twitter nazi.
Simpler times.
