  • Not really? It was his first time DMing. He was doing a homebrew story. Actually Foundry, not DnD. It was my first time playing and I was really struggling with it. I wasn’t a fan of where the party was taking it and each session was basically wandering aimlessly through a cave and repeating my only attack (sling a rock) at whatever monsters we found. I let him know that I wasn’t enjoying it and there wasn’t a lot for my character to do and he just linked me to the rules website.

    I asked for advice on Lemmy, and they suggested I ask for like a 15 minute out of character period at the start of next session to express what our goals were in the game. That was scheduled for the session that I ultimately bailed on.

    I got a long string of texts the next morning about how I don’t respect him and never respected him and a lot of other shit. I dunno.



  • So my point is that the story is only newsworthy because it’s Tesla. I think you’re arguing that it doesn’t happen in other cars because you can’t find news about it. I think we’re arguing the same point. It could be happening in other cars, but it isn’t newsworthy.

    30,000 people die in America every year because of cars, but we don’t see 30,000 news articles about it.

    What would make a Tesla more dangerous than say a 2008 Corvette that has the manual release conveniently placed on the floor?

    Here’s a photo from a forum where someone suggests a way to cover the label because they don’t like the look.



  • Because this keeps coming up:

    Electronic door latches are not a Tesla invention. They are featured in many vehicles. They’re considered a luxury item and presumably some people like them over a mechanical latch.

    All Teslas have a mechanical override. In the 3 and Y it’s very obvious in the front seat (so obvious that some of my passengers instinctively use it over the electronic latch. Doing so repeatedly can damage the weather stripping). The back seat has no override (that I know of).

    It’s less obvious (but still present) in the S and X.

    Take from that what you will, but this is only a story because it’s Tesla.













  • Ah. My only suggestion then would be to reduce the likelihood of errors by just combining each pair of black wires with its yellow wire, so it’s one continuous wire. It could still follow the same route and keep your main section less crowded, but there’d be fewer connections to worry about. And you could hold them there with little jumpers like you did in the top right section.
