The daily express isn't exactly known for it's accurate insightful reporting. The headline is mostly about scaring people, mostly elderly (their main readership) that their computer is about to stop working.

There are some well known ones, like L4sbot, that copy everything but they're upfront about it with bot in their name.

There are a few others more sneaky.

'nudge' sure..

'Unless you regrow that limb we'll cut you off and take your house'

That kind of nudge.

That's literally what they teach you about basic economics at school..

Do it young is the biggest thing.. once they're adults it's much harder because you're overcoming existing fear.

You only get a few days a year but we took them outside and let them watch, showed them we weren't scared.. they both find the pretty lights fascinating, and being able to see what is making the whistles and bangs helps I think.

Sometimes need to reinforce it with the younger one, although this year he's been mostly fine. The older one doesn't GAF.

We made a point of giving our dogs firework training when they were young and it's paid off.. they're currently both asleep, completely uninterested in whatever the humans are up to.

I've successfully used autopark twice since 2019.

All the other times, if it sees a parking space at all (which is very rare) it has either aborted immediately or tried to reverse into an obstacle.

That's been evident for years. Like the 3 that when it was released hadn't been tested in rain so when you opened the back door all water poured into the car...

Camera fogging has been an issue since at least 2019.. Tesla forums usually have threads from new owners surprised by this each year..

It was 100% predictable that 'vision only' would fail in these circumstances.
