They send your car to the streets to make that payment through a ride sharing program. :mjlol:

that’s about to be a real thing.

Cathie Wood, the fund manager who was an early adopter of Bitcoin and saw Tesla’s value before most, predicts that autonomous cars will be able to make their owners money by ridesharing when you aren’t using it. They’re saying this will be a trillion dollar industry

This is the purpose of these 'newer cars' and why they want to get these clunkers off the road. It gives these corporations and the government an unprecedented amount of control. Imagine the cars locking their doors and driving someone the police want right to the police station. You are a government dissident? Watch your car mysteriously malfunction and your brakes stop working and you crash into a wall. How about the subscription model on everything in the car? I wouldn't be surprised in the future if you don't even own cars but just pay different subscription fees for everything, with all the features broken into different tiers. "Basic subscription" just lets you drive the car. "Premium" subscription lets you have heated seats, and other things already built into the car but locked behind a paywall. It's coming.
Infrastructure Bill: "Driving Prevention" Technology Coming To New Cars
Deep within the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that was signed into law by President Joe Biden is a passage that will require automakers to begin including what can be best summarized as a “vehicle kill switch” within the operating software of new cars, which is described in the bill as “advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology”. The measure has been positioned as a safety tool to help prevent drunk driving, and by 2026 (three years after the enactment of the Act, per the text) the kill switch could be mandated on every new car sold in the United States. Then there’s the broader reaching RIDE Act, which we’ll touch on in a moment.

Per the bill, the proposed safety device will “passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired.”

The language of the RIDE Act bill states the following:

"To require the Secretary of Transportation, acting through the
Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, to
prescribe a Federal motor vehicle safety standard for advanced drunk
and impaired driving prevention technology, and for other purposes."


“For other purposes” is the squishy, catch-all language that’s likely to raise the eyebrows of anybody who enjoys the liberty of operating an automobile, while the framework of how NHTSA would implement such surveillance technology into new vehicles is a giant question in and of itself. But the bill states the following:

"Technical capability.–Any advanced drunk and impaired
driving prevention technology required for new passenger motor
vehicles under subsection (a) that measures blood alcohol
concentration shall use the adult legal limit for blood alcohol
concentration of the jurisdiction in which the passenger motor
vehicle is located."


In software terms, “passively” suggests the “impaired driving prevention” kill switch technology will always be running in the background and constantly monitoring the vehicle for deviation from normal driving habits, which will also mean the vehicle will need to learn your specific idiosyncrasies behind the wheel in order to better profile your behavior.

Why are we calling it a “kill switch?” Because “driving prevention surveillance technology for drunk/impaired/other purposes” just doesn’t roll off the tongue. For the sake of simplicity, we’re using a colloquial term here.

The system will receive data inputs from critical operational controls, it will also be capable of overriding those controls so as to disable the vehicle either before or during driving once impairment is detected. However, the worst part of the legislation is the open nature of the system which will feature at least one backdoor for third-party access to the system’s data at any time.


CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) will do about the same for our money as this automobile kill switch tech. They're being developed by over 100 countries right now. Don't take my word for it. Below is the IMF talking about the development of CBDCs.

I don't understand how black people justify owning this particular vehicle in the first place, all things considered.
Well it’s easy Tesla had a 10 year head start to the market… Now there are numerous alternatives currently on the market where a lot of black folk is gravitating towards now

I don't get what race has to do with this. Why does being a particular race matter when considering a car manufacturer
Elon Musk's entire existence is hostile and contradictory to the lives of black people

:mjlol: That person clearly financed the car through Tesla financial… They own the car… If the driver was smart they would financed or leased through another bank who don’t have that type of access and no Tesla won’t help another financial institution repo a car because they don’t have ownership of the vehicle… But if you making payment to Tesla themselves they got you by the balls until you satisfy your lease or finance

You know these folks don’t have the credit to get an unsecured loan. :skip:

Canadian Tesla owner says automaker locked him out of his car until he pays $26,000 for new battery​

A Tesla owner in Canada said the battery on his $140,000 vehicle died and that the electric automaker told him a replacement would cost him $26,000 and has locked him out of the vehicle until he gets a new one.
Mario Zelaya posted a video on TikTok saying his "piece of trash" car died and that the car is locked, preventing him from being able to get in. The caption on the video reads: "$26K for a new battery. Locked out of car. Recalls are needed."
He said he purchased the car in 2013 but said models from that year and 2014 has issues with fluid from the air conditioning system leaking onto the battery.
"I got Transport Canada involved, and they actually did an investigation on the car. Not only did they do an investigation on this car, they're gonna be doing one that Tesla doesn't realize is coming up."
Fox Business has reached out to Zelaya and Tesla.
He said he reached out to another Tesla owner who also said they had the same issues with the car battery. Zelaya said Tesla canceled that owner's Uber credits while the vehicle was being serviced.
"Tesla's trying to sweep it under the rug," he said. "They won't give them any explanation of why their battery died."


Wedbush Securities managing director Dan Ives reacts to Mercedes-Benz teaming up with Rivian to deliver electric commercial vans to Europe on 'The Claman Countdown.'Dan Ives: Tesla still owns the EV world, everyone else is paying rent

He also claimed that when Tesla owners get their vehicles serviced, the battery is not checked, saying they have no incentive to do so. Zelaya said he is a year outside his warranty period and wants to sell the car but that he can't because his ownership papers are in the car, which he cannot get into because it is locked.
He instead spent $30 on new papers, he claimed.
"I'll never buy another Tesla again," he said. "That's the long way of me saying stay the (expletive) away from Teslas. They're brutal cars, brutal manufacturing, and even worse, they're a 10-year-old company."
In another video posted this week, Zelaya said he sold the car and that someone was going to pick it up from his driveway. The supposed buyer is then seen taking the car apart from the front bumper and then charging it.

"That's going to be the end of my Tesla journey. It's out of my life. Keep it out of yours," he said.
Some Tesla owners have voiced concerns about the vehicle in recent months. A group of owners in Norway went on a hunger strike in August in an effort to get CEO Elon Musk’s attention about a long series of problems they claim to have with their vehicles.
