Well I mean actuaries are like savants. Years ago in uni my calc III college prof was one. Amazingly sharp dude. Do I think insurance companies over-generalize their risk assessments? Yupp. Do insurance companies likely ignore their actuaries and set premiums to make outrageous profit? Probably.

Disclosure: I hate insurance companies. Also that professor was super weird

It's funny that even though theft rates have plummeted since the mass software upgrade, premiums have stayed high. They have savant-level mathematicians (actuaries) evaluating risk and even with compelling data showing otherwise, they choose to keep labeling these cars high risk and continue to charge exorbitant premiums.

From Tesla's owners manual, referenced in the article:

Immediately remove corrosive substances (such as grease, oil, tree resin, dead insects....

I find it really funny that the folks at Tesla consider grease to be "corrosive".

Random thought but why do the provided links never work in Memmy? They don't redirect.

Ram trucks also are the #1 vehicle for DUIs in the US.

So there's no way for Linux cups drivers to run these printers. Another reason to pass on them!

I imagine these are elements that are so short-lived they decay into known daughter particles in fractions of a second

Oh for sure. Definitely not disagreeing with that

If they could fix these issues via OTA then they wouldn't be forced to do physical recalls. They've had windshields fly out of their frames at highway speed, steering wheels come off, catastrophic lower ball joint separation, vehicles leaving their factory with missing brake pads...software updates only take you so far
