Replacing their CEO is a necessary condition for the survival of though it may not be sufficient. A turnaround from a stale product palette would take years, their reputation is ruined, BYD and others have far lower costs and better battery tech. No wonder the execs who recently left have sold all their shares.

@arstechnica As long as those computers continue to interact with me via switches, knobs and buttons, that's OK. What's not OK is swapping in a giant touch screen to replace all those controls for which we develop muscle memory and can soon use without distraction from, erm, driving.

@arstechnica The whole selling point of the TWELVE THOUSAND dollar "FULL self-driving" option is that the car is fully self-driving.

You should be able play on your phone while the Tesla is in FSD mode otherwise I would suggest that you are being conned out of $12,000.

And surely wouldn't be talking bollocks now would he? I mean, we have & everywhere today, right?
