Steve Wozniak says Tesla 'is the worst in the world' at improving its technology
- barrell 2y agoThis story makes me laugh. The irony of an Apple co-founder chastising another company for updates that slowly and significantly make the experience worse everytime is too rich. I don’t have a Tesla and I’m fully bought into the Apple ecosystem and my god, the recent updates to the HomePod line and Siri have made it genuinely unusable. Not a single speaker can stay in sync for a whole song. And god forbid you want to find a photo you took on your phone now
- ptsd_dalmatian 2y agoPhotos app in iOS 18 is simply atrocious. Try sharing an album with friends. So many UX issues that it could be a case study.
- gloxkiqcza 2y agoI never understood why there’s such a huge disconnect between private albums and shared ones. My biggest gripe with shared ones is that they don’t provide full quality/res pics. I was going to ask why if a full quality backup is already in the cloud, but now I realize it might be because of the security architecture? Still, this should at least be an option, even if it means storing the data twice, especially since we’re paying for that storage anyway.
- blogabegonija 2y agoThat being said it's funny that Wozniak left Apple before Apple era.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoNerds are generally disconnected from consumer tech. The worst part is dweebs genuinely believing Woz was more important than Jobs…
- Brian_K_White 2y agoWoz is 100x the net positive to humanity of Jobs. Jobs collected a lot of money which just benefitted himself at the expense of everyone else. Everyone else just got handed shiny pacifiers that didn't actually enable, empower, or enrich them as well as other actual "bicycles for the mind". Dweebs do indeed believe Woz is more important than Jobs, in the same way they believe actual tools are more important than toys and pacifiers no matter how pretty they are, and don't confuse "succeeds at extracting money from everyone else" with "important".
- timeon 2y ago> the recent updates to the HomePod line and Siri have made it genuinely unusable. I probably missed something. I thought that he stopped being involved with Apple development in 1985 (40 years ago).

- Brian_K_White 2y agoThis comment makes me laugh. When was the last time Woz worked at Apple, and what was his rate of creation while there?
- blogabegonija 2y agoI bet fans will not react to this. They believe their genius is at work.
- decimalenough 2y agoI don't think I've met a single Tesla fan who thinks getting rid of the stalks on the Model 3 Highland was a good idea. Even Tesla had to backpedal on this, since the new Model Y Juniper brought back one for turn signals (but not gear selections).
- blogabegonija 2y agoWell,in general, this must be something to do with Right to Repair ideas which is forbidden theme both for Apple and Tesla campuses.
- lnsru 2y agoThese are radical changes that went too far for conservative buyers like me. Old model Y is the perfect balance between modern touch and classical usability with the stalks. I will definitely not buy another Tesla with yoke/buttons on the wheel/no stalls. It’s okay when one has private driver, but sadly I must drive the car by myself.
- decimalenough 2y agoMaybe try using the "myToyota Connect" app for a day, or most any legacy carmarker's touchscreen UI, and tell me who's the worst at improving their technology. Although I do agree with Woz that not having a physical latch for opening the glovebox on the Tesla is the stupidest thing ever.
- yardie 2y agoThe Model Y, 3 has no physical latch in the back seat to exit. As an owner who primarily sits in the front seat this was a significant oversight on my part. And I won’t be making it again.
- chinathrow 2y agoWhat? How does one exit the car then?
- _mitterpach 2y agoOne often doesn't. https://www.fastcompany.com/91227786/teslas-latest-tragic-fire-is-a-reminder-of-why-cars-need-old-school-door-handles https://www.fastcompany.com/91227786/teslas-latest-tragic-fi... Four friends died on October 24 in a Tesla Model Y that caught fire after crashing into a safety barrier on Lake Shore Boulevard in Toronto. After the crash, it appears the car’s electronic opening mechanism stopped working, preventing the occupants and others from opening the doors.
- decimalenough 2y agoThere are emergency release latches. The location of the front one is obvious-ish, the rear one is not obvious at all. https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-A7A60DC7-E476-4A86-9C9C-10F4A276AB8B.html https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-A7A60DC...
- reseasonable 2y agoI agree that the lack of a latch was dumb, but effectively having two gloveboxes in the center console, that are bigger and closer than the tiny glovebox has left me never actually needing to open it.

- pettersolberg 2y agojust some old man ranting, nothing to see here
- cantrecallmypwd 2y agoThat's not the most important criticism of Tesla. R2R would be above and near the top. Maybe the failure to achieve significant marketshare vs. ICE, high cost, and/or specification (range) truthfulness would compete for that place too.
- LightBug1 2y agoSo the words of one the foremost pioneers in the tech industry gets flagged on HN ... Pathetic.
