This is Google for the last 5+ IOs. They just release waitlists and demos that are leapfrogged by the time they're available to all. (and shut down a few years later)
Congrats on the launch! It looks quite slick and something I could see myself using. I'm curious, what do the costs of operation and margins look like for a service like this?
Google IO has been a disappointing affair for the last 10 years, from only releasing on waitlists to never actually shipping to production. I sign up for their waitlists, but rarely actually hear back. I'm more than convinced today that Google's good days are long over.
While I have my doubts with the build quality (initial Model 3s had panel gaps my finger could fit in), my low opinion of Teslas goes far beyond merely their inability to put a sheet a metal on straight, or merely make sure the colors match[0].
The Model S interior is ugly and empty, and the Tesla infotainment system is a joke. Just integrate with CarPlay, and toss that Mickey Mouse crap like off brand maps and streaming services.
I've read the word "mitigation" so much (not only here, and not only you; so this comment is not directed at you personally) that I only hear doublespeak now: when people say mitigation I immediately think of a slab of concrete in the back of my car to compensate for not having any brakes installed. Please recognize for what it is: a design failure that is pampered upon. A mitigation is not a solution, it lessens the impact of the failure mode that was identified. Afaik, if the flushes and changes actually work, it is not a mitigation but a workaround: the failure mode cannot occur anymore. Mitigation sounds better than workaround though (and is probably the reason it was choosen).
