There is nothing at all to substantiate these claims. It is literally just rumors from unknown 'sources' that can make up whatever bullshit they want. Notice how everything is written with a qualifier so they don't get fucked over when it turns out to be some shit made up on 4chan.

Agreed. If there's anything in any written form to substantiate this and something happens with a Tesla on-the-road that can be, in anyway, tied to this decision, it would be disastrous.

Just screams FUD to me.

Well, Tesla rolled out brake updates over a couple of days after a consumer paper found strange brake behavoiur.

There is no chance they could have tested that thoroughly. And the brakes are maybe the cars most important function besides power steering in a programming safety perspective.

The press these days will do hit pieces on their targets du jour. I sympathize with Elon when he satirically called for "Pravda" to rate news orgs on truthfulness.

We need something to stop this. This is way beyond Mockingbird stuff. This has pervaded everyday living. It's awful.

Flagged. This is the second time this "article" has been posted. What a crappy piece of "journalism".
