Every day I am so glad that 8 years ago I decided not to buy a Tesla.

Swastikar, now with Mecha Hitler.
I think he has actually found a way to make the cyber truck even shitter, which feels like some sort of weird achievement.
Saving the environment with electric car to later add an energy guzzling racist chat bot to the front panel. /nottheonion?
Exactly the feature I was looking for on a new car.
Imagine the joys of commuting through rush hour with an insane, racist, conspiracy theory obsessed talking machine every day for the rest of your life.
It's like a fever dream
It's like a dream.
Ah yes, nothing could go wrong by giving MechaHitler mobility...
Noooo! He is gonna drive straight through Poland into Russia in winter, and then run out of power!
Imagining a Cybertruck going apeshit yelling about praising Hitler because it disagreed with the driver and crashing into a ditch 😂 😭
If someone bought a cyber-truck without the Grock, they bought it as it was. Shoving Grock down the consumers' throats without their consent would constitute a material alteration of tge car that was originally bought. This would then constitute graffiti.
Edit: if the vehicle had not been fully purchased and paid, this would be potential grounds for a refund because the material alteration of the good would make the contract for the sale of the vehicle voidable.
Still can't actually drive it's self like he has been promising for over a decade. Musk will never deliver.
What does this even mean? If you have a phone in your tesla, you already have grok in a tesla vehicle. Amazing how the Media-Tesla-hype complex works.
Oh and I hope Tesla stocks go down even more!
If Grok is targeting Jews or any specific ethnicity, maybe not let it out in the road?
If it just runs over people by random, well that's a different matter.
My dad fsr wont ever unlease his tesla, he doesnt care
I wouldn't normally ask this in any other context, but: is it possible your dad hates the Jews?
I'm... very sad at how germane that question is in 2025.
germane
Heh.
As I typed it I read it and I was like "do I shoot my shot and make the joke?" and I had a rare moment of self-restraint
But Grok would be like "you had me at 𝔤𝔢𝔯𝔪𝔞𝔫"
I can't even get a PRD approved in a week...
Very confused about what the point of this would be. People don't use their cars enough to justify having something like that installed, and it seems like it would just make things more expensive for xAI for not much benefit at all.
It's so Musk can give himself money he would otherwise not get. The user experience has no part in this.
Adoption and usage is a huge value for AI companies.
In order to train data, they need data from humans. Just like social media companies need users to create content. And they're already crawling & stealing everything they can off the internet. But they need more.
Google, Facebook - they're shoving it in everything they own to get more user usage so they can feed their AI beast.
My guess is to give a better experience looking for things while driving. Like restaurants, current movies in theaters etc. Just like how everyone uses ChatGPT vs. Google. Not sure if I'll use it frankly but I'll see when I get it.
It won't make anything better. You can't throw a shitty AI chatbot at a shitty touch UI and expect the shitty touch UI to magically transform into something not shitty for use inside of a vehicle.
Found the swasticar driver.....
Imagine asking it for directions and it starts talking about white genocide in South Africa, lmao
Worse, it figures out the driver isn't white and forces them into oncoming traffic.
Or starts running over non-white pedestrians
Oh, so that's why they insisted on vision-only! LiDAR isn't racist enough

Imagine asking it to take you to Taco Bell and the car just mows down the nearest mexican.

when getting blasted with fascist remarks on your daily commute is becoming the norm, we as a society should start asking questions.
I miss the days of good AM radio too. Also good FM radio. Ham radio never goes bad.
Tesla owner: "I don't care about politics, I just like the car. I'm not a bad person!"
car is in the background screaming, "Jews will not replace us!!"
Literally why would anyone want that. Even racist elon musk lovers. Why would anyone want their car to have an LLM.
My guess is that some hardcore Musk followers must be very lonely at this point, so much so that they prefer talking to chatbots.

Until there are consequences for fascism, this is just circlejerking
Grok reveals cause of latest Tesla FSD crash
Wow he's going balls out on the swasticar.
Bad day to be a jewish Telsa driver.
Thanks for the chuckle, that got me good. I just imagined an old Jewish man groaning "Oy vey..." after starting his car and seeing a greeting message along the lines of "HI! I'm MECHA-Hitler, your new onboard Ai assistant!"
(It's a surreal dark-humor chuckle, not an antisemitic chuckle, just to clarify, since this is the internet...)
Don’t worry, on the internet you’re only antisemitic if you oppose the genocide in Gaza.
/s
He's really leaning into the Swasticar thing isn't he?
That is how he decided it's had enough time in the oven
Nazi vehicles with Nazi brains
