At 26 grand, you're approaching the 38 grand that a Dolphin costs. And that'll get you a brand new vehicle, bigger battery, CCS2 and a manufacturer's warranty.
That's due to battery prices. You can't pay $25,000 for a battery, put it in a shitbox and sell it for $30,000 because nobody's going to buy a $30,000 car with the features and quality of a $5,000 car. Batteries can only be maybe a third of the cost of a car, so everyone's been targeting the top of the market with expensive EVs.
The good news is, battery prices are continuing to plummet each year. When you have $2,000 batteries, $12,000 cars are doable.
I'm not sure I want a system which rolled their own date handling holding my credit card details. Wanna bet they rolled their own crypto too?
It repeats things that sort of sound intelligent to try and convince everyone that actual intelligent thought is taking place? It really is just like humans!
Yeah it is. The training data skews white, so they added a "make some people non-white" kludge. It wouldn't be needed if there was actually racial diversity in the training data.
It'd make the world a better place, but a big company would make slightly less money, therefore it's unthinkable to even attempt it.

Plot twist: the dude is colourblind and thinks that's brown.
I'm not sure Lemmy has many users old enough to get that reference.
Depends whether Elon made the decision or Captain Sensible snuck in and did it while Elon was playing with Twitter.
It's not like Tesla doesn't have smart people, they just don't get to make the decisions some of the time.
Every other country already has similar standards, though. So they don't need to design anything new, they can just actually start selling those cars in Australia instead of their obsolete junk that can't be sold anywhere else.
