"On March 4, 2026, Elon Musk posted on X that '#Tesla will be one of the companies to make AGI and probably the first to make it in humanoid/atom-shaping form.' Less than eight weeks later, under oath in an Oakland federal courtroom, he was asked whether Tesla has any concrete plans to pursue AGI. His answer: 'No.'"

#ElonMusk only tells the truth under penalty of perjury. https://electrek.co/2026/05/06/musk-obsession-controlling-ai-tesla-agi-openai-trial/?utm_source=electrek.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=the-electrek-daily-report-for-05-06-2026

First step on getting out of a Model 3 with no 12V power if you are in the rear seat, ie, if you are in an accident and the car is on fire and the door latches aren't working.

Per Tesla:

"...Remove the bolt that attaches the access panel to the underside of the armrest...."

Cars as Cameras

A short overview of #Tesla #surveillance features and lessons for attack.

„Most expect to be captured on video when walking through downtown streets, which are often littered with traditional types of security cameras, such as the dome cameras, bullet cameras, or the newer remote controlled PTZ (Point, Tilt, Zoom) cameras. Previously, this was less expected in residential neighborhoods, which now have an increasing amount of home surveillance systems like Amazon’s Ring or Google Nest cameras.

Police departments have seized on the increasing popularity of these devices and struck deals with their parent companies to directly incorporate them into existing surveillance networks and access data without the knowledge or permission of the camera owner. Some doorbell style cameras offer forms of audio surveillance as well…
(...)
Even without being bugged, almost every modern car contains technology that logs your trips (and much more) and can be easily accessed by law enforcement."

If You’ve Got a New Car, It’s a Data Privacy Nightmare

"Bad news: your car is a spy. If your vehicle was made in the last few years, you’re probably driving around in a data-harvesting machine that may collect personal information as sensitive as your race, weight, and sexual activity. Volkswagen’s cars reportedly know if you’re fastening your seatbelt and how hard you hit the brakes.

That’s according to new findings from Mozilla’s *Privacy Not Included project. The #nonprofit found that every major car brand fails to adhere to the most basic privacy and security standards in new internet-connected models, and all 25 of the brands Mozilla examined flunked the organization’s test.

#Mozilla found brands including #BMW, #Ford, #Toyota, #Tesla, and #Subaru collect #data about drivers including race, facial expressions, weight, health information, and where you drive. Some of the cars tested collected data you wouldn’t expect your car to know about, including details about sexual activity, race, and immigration status, according to Mozilla."

China is to ban hidden door handles on cars. Instead, vehicle doors must have a mechanical release function, inside and outside. The purpose is to make cars safer after electric vehicle accidents where electronic doors reportedly failed to operate and trapped passengers inside. Here's more from @AssociatedPress.

Your sexting with your car being swapped within Elon's companies. Curious if they just have a general "audio snooping" mode they turn on for people they want to follow/monitor.

"...team members were suddenly exposed to a stream of sexually charged audio, including lewd conversations that Tesla occupants had with the car’s #chatbot..."

It wasn't a good year for the EV market in the U.S. in general, but one brand suffered particularly badly: Tesla. Of the nine models with the steepest year-over-year declines, Tesla manufactured four, with the Cybertruck's sales being roughly half what they were in 2024 — just 20,200. Here's more from Inside EVs.

Remote software updates, feature enabling/disabling, and the most extreme remote bricking raise several "consumer rights" issues that have not been adequately addressed. #tesla #solar #rightToRepair

Tesla is no longer the world's biggest electric vehicle maker, with fourth-quarter sales falling short of even the reduced target analysts set. Chinese rival BYD is now No. 1, selling 2.26M vehicles last year vs. Tesla's 1.64M. Here's more from @AssociatedPress.

Overturned cybertruck on a dirt trail

Alt...

Had an issue stopping my Cybertruck from a low speed the other day and had to make a choice to crash it or risk going tumbling down a mountain to probable death. Sucks to see, but it held up well and only a few minor scrapes and bruises. Still going over every choice made and trying to understand why it would not stop and was gaining speed from 5 mph to 12+ while on the brakes. ABS was probably hurting more than helping on this 26° downhill angle. Hoping to be able to talk to someone at Tesla as I have the crash recorder data already.

A firm called TÜV SÜD collects the data from millions of vehicle inspections in Germany. The worst car to buy? Tesla Model Y, which has a defect rate of 17.3%. Here are all the details, via @Jalopnik.

@kkarhan which is why I wonder why you made that post. or did you mean why someone would because my screen reader intprporated as woulnd't.
nevertheless, smart shoes are an extremely bad idea. keep in mind, those batteries can actually explode. note: by mainly federal regulatory standards, we do have a good battery management system in place for batteries, in fact, modern batteries come with BMS's.
but water does not mix well with lithium ion batteries, mainly due to its components.
and you better pray to fucking God that they even have BMS's in the first place, or didn't do some bowlshit with the battery cover component and/or pull a Samsung with their s7 smartphone. because if that's the case, those will explode almost instantaneously. we saw this with hurricane #helene with #tesla where the cars exploding due to water merging with the LI ION.
this is why gas cars don't use LI ION either, they use liquid acid batteries/lead acid batteries, which are maintenance free in most situations and do not combust when merged with water.
and, also, phones have water tight seals nowadays, along with good BMS systems that control voltage.
I can almost certain-fucking-ly assure you that those shoes might not have those, and those would be heavierthan my hard tow boots

Musk won't ever realize the shareholder-approved #Tesla payout, and Tesla's stockholders are delusional for thinking that he can.

"The current state of American capitalism isn’t sustainable. It doesn’t deserve to be sustained. And the best way to avoid an American version of 'eat the rich' is to fix the current 'let them eat cake' distortion of capitalism into which we’ve fallen."

"Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is rewarded by his own company, Tesla, with a TRILLION DOLLAR pay package only months after he personally oversaw the destruction of U.S. aid programs. The result? As of now, at least 600,000 people, mostly children, in Africa have died from those cuts."

The Guardian: Tesla sued by family of California teenager killed in fiery Cybertruck crash

"...When power to the truck’s electric doors was shut down by the fire, the four passengers were locked inside with no way out.

The lawsuit alleges the design of the Cybertruck’s door handles is at fault for Tsukahara’s death. From the inside of the truck, when electricity is cut off, the only way to exit a rear door is by pulling a cable that’s underneath a pocket liner under the door’s storage compartment, according to a report by Bloomberg. From outside the vehicle, the doors also remain locked and the flush handles make it difficult for rescue workers to jimmy their way inside....She was alive after the crash. She called out for help. And she couldn’t get out.”

"NHTSA Action Number: PE25010

Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

Opened From: September 15, 2025 – Present
Summary

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received nine Vehicle Owners Questionnaires (VOQs) reporting an inability to open doors on Model Year (MY) 2021 Tesla Model Y vehicles. The most commonly reported scenarios involved parents exiting the vehicle after a drive cycle in order to remove a child from the back seat or placing a child in the back seat before starting a drive cycle. In those events, the parents were unable to reopen a door to regain access to the vehicle. Four of these VOQs reported resorting to breaking a window to regain entry into the vehicle. Although Tesla vehicles have manual door releases inside of the cabin, in these situations, a child may not be able to access or operate the releases even if the vehicle’s driver is aware of them. As a result, in these instances, an occupant who remains inside a vehicle in this condition may be unable to be rapidly retrieved by persons outside of the vehicle. Entrapment in a vehicle is particularly concerning in emergency situations, such as when children are entrapped in a hot vehicle."

#tesla #safety

"...The Tesla Owner’s Manual “Jump Starting” and “Opening the Hood with No Power” sections describe a multi-step process for restoring power to the electronic door locks in order to enable their operation from outside of the vehicle. This process requires applying 12 volts DC from a separate power source to two different points accessible from the vehicle’s exterior. The subject incidents suggest that this process may not be readily available to owners or well known. For instances where an occupant is able to access and operate interior door handles, the Tesla Owner’s Manual “Opening Doors with No Power” section identifies the manual door releases inside of the vehicle’s cabin...."

Let's not forget that this Hyundai battery factory that ICE raided is a competitor of Tesla.

The time has passed when we thought it was an accident that the first foreign factory ICE raided was a competitor of Musk.

Trump is asking foreigners to invest in factories in America, and then this is happening with one of the largest foreign investments.

I am sure that these foreign companies feel welcomed. /s

Short video: https://octade.net/urls/6000_patents.html

In 1998, Stanley Meyer claimed to invent a car that ran on water. Days later, he was dead—and his invention disappeared. But Meyer wasn't the only one. There’s a federal law, still active today, that allows the U.S. government to classify and bury private inventions deemed a “threat.” It's called the Invention Secrecy Act—and it's already been used over 6,000 times.

From Nikola Tesla’s wireless energy to Townsend Brown’s anti-gravity tech to Joseph Papp’s engine that ran on noble gases, history is littered with breakthrough inventors who vanished into obscurity... and whose technologies never made it to the public.

This episode uncovers the case studies, the hidden power of secrecy orders, and the chilling question: What else have they buried?
