I'm going to go ahead and not have something with the build quality of a Tesla attached to my brain, thanks.

Maybe Musk has a malfunctioning Neuralink chip in his brain. Would explain a lot.

I'm not dumb enough to be interested in a first generation brain implant, but surely someone is.

That being said the car thing is a bunch of bullshit. Separate OTA software patches from physical drive-the-car-to-a-dealership recalls and get back to me on the real "recall" count.

I'm not really interested in driving a full electric car (hybrids seem to be the sweet spot until we find better batteries) but people cling to arbitrary metrics for all kinds of criticism in a red vs blue or console war fashion to proclaim why their chosen product is better. It's so asinine. All of the electronic systems in modern cars have issues because all software has issues. The ones that are the worst are the ones with no OTA patching, of which there are many.
