Shocking, that a stupid big ass wiper would lead to the wiper motor burning out.  Apparently you aren't supposed to put RainX (or similar) on the windshield due to the camera(s).

So, not only was it designed by Homer Simpson, but was built by him too? Figures... ;)

But, in all seriousness... How about a sensible review from someone who actually knows what they're talking about when it comes to EV's and trucks?

TLDR, it's a bit sh*t... ;)

 

A mere eighteen seconds into the video.......

"Elon will not let you sleep with him, actually sorry I take that back let's fact check that he will if you work for one of his companies so I was wrong."

Cybertruck is headed to Europe and China. They've already made the tour of  regulators, CT in tow, this spring.

Foundation Series ends, next quarter regular production begins with lower prices. Production ramp continues

It has zero chance of passing EU safety regulations as it is, so any rework is going to make it largely unrecognizable.  For a start, it's FAR too big for most European roads, and there's zero chance those sharp edges are going to pass inspection either... Car's in Europe have to be designed for not just the safety of the people inside, but those outside as well.

First thing I do when I get a car is put RainX on the windshield... lol

Arizona toddler rescued after getting trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery

"A 20-month-old child was rescued after being trapped in a Tesla Model Y in Scottsdale, Arizona — where temperatures have exceeded 100 degrees this week — after its 12-volt battery died, according to a report from Arizona’s Family."

Talk about being trapped in a slow-cooker…

I'm willing to bet there's at least ONE Musk simp who'll believe that and give it a shot...

 

DocM's next post will explain why it's absolutely right that his Tesla is sat on the bottom of the ocean, how other manufacturers are also trialling it, and you just don't understand.

Probably also produce a poll from Rose DeWitt Bukater about how many people can fit on a floating wooden door...

I am sure @DocM will find a toddler being trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery just collateral damage.

The first thing I would do is ask why they didn't read their manual. The door locks are powered by a regular 12 volt battery, not the drive system battery. 12 volt batteries can and do fail, in any car. The specifics vary by model but,

There is a way to manually open the frunk (front trunk). In there is a panel which can be removed to give access to the 12 volt battery.

Apply jumper cabless, or you can get one of those battery powered jump starters and connect it. Now open your door using the card or app. Let the jumper stay on to recharge the 12v battery, then have the battery checked.

Predictable response.

🤣 Needing to jump the battery to open them.

Guess you missed the part where many cars are moving to keyless entry and push button starting.

What other vehicles do not have a physical key to gain entry?  Sure...my vehicle is keyless entry and push button start...but there is a physical key in the FOB. 

...also didn't need to read the instruction manual on how to open my damn door.  If the battery was dead in the Tesla...why did it lock the doors on exit with such little 12v juice remaining.  Odd.

...also, also...probably just be quicker to bust the window than jumping the car while the child is roasting in Arizona heat.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
