Tesla engineering management is immoral and arguably criminal, promising customers the best safety in the world while delivering the worst.
Safety Comes Last at Tesla
Here is a perfect example, especially during a deadly heat wave, where a malfunctioning feature will kill. Tesla calls unpredictable failure in their software a “known characteristic“.
Tesla is aware of the bug causing Dog Mode to not work properly, and is calling it a “known characteristic of current firmware.”
“Not work properly” means it does not work. And the “known characteristic”… is sudden horrible torture and death of a loved one.
The “Drive Tesla” website has this chilling assessment of the brand:
…we recommend not relying on [Tesla in 2024] and instead leaving your pets at home, or if you have to bring them in the [Tesla], taking them with you and not leaving them behind.
Time to change their name to Don’t Drive Tesla?
The most logical option, of course is to not have anything to do with a Tesla. Any other car would be better.
