Nothing bad happened here and they caught an issue without any incident or injury. I wonder if there will ever be a day where Hackernews isn't actively rooting

Tesla is no longer a leader in innovation, their vehicles couldn’t even do V2L/V2G until the CyberTruck.

  48v is a pretty big leap forward that I bet other automakers will replicate. So is assembling the interior (seats, console, etc.) onto the battery and lifting it into the vehicle. Also, the rigid wire harness that can be snapped in by robotic arms. The list goes on. I recommend watching some of the teardown videos.

    Munro is transparently biased at this point.

      So don't listen to them, listen to Caresoft, their competitor in teardown and benchmarking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRRDEVpCHPI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRRDEVpCHPI

  Don't even know how to respond to this lol. Their EV's are head and shoulders above the competition

  In some ways, Tesla gets too much credit for innovation. Their cars aren't the cheapest, their charging curves aren't the fastest, and their range isn't the highest. But the balance of all three attributes often makes them the best choice within their segment. CT is an exception at the moment. It'd be really hard to pick it over the Silverado EV.

    The charging network being open to everyone will mitigate a massive advantage they had in terms of selling cars.

  Yes, they are.

It's schadenfreude. I think the Edison Truck guy is also a little bit of a jerk but I prefer how they're planning to do things - just make a hybrid version of a regular truck. You don't have to re invent every little bit of metal and computerize everything and make it into a privacy nightmare just to stick a battery into a vehicle In fact the Toyota hybrids are quite similar to regular cars. Ground-up rewrites are great resume filler but there are other ways to innovate

Tesla isn't innovative or tech.
