Tesla's Dieselgate

Elon Musk lies a lot. He lies about being a “utopian socialist.” He lies about being a “free speech absolutist.” He lies about which companies he founded:

https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-cofounder-martin-eberhard-interview-history-elon-musk-ev-market-2023-2 He lies about being the “chief engineer” of those companies:

https://www.quora.com/Was-Elon-Musk-the-actual-engineer-behind-SpaceX-and-Tesla

He lies about really stupid stuff, like claiming that comsats that share the same spectrum will deliver steady broadband speeds as they add more users who each get a narrower slice of that spectrum:

https://www.eff.org/wp/case-fiber-home-today-why-fiber-superior-medium-21st-century-broadband

The fundamental laws of physics don’t care about this bullshit, but people do. The comsat lie convinced a bunch of people that pulling fiber to all our homes is literally impossible — as though the electrical and phone lines that come to our homes now were installed by an ancient, lost civilization. Pulling new cabling isn’t a mysterious art, like embalming pharaohs. We do it all the time. One of the poorest places in America installed universal fiber with a mule named “Ole Bub”:

https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/the-one-traffic-light-town-with-some-of-the-fastest-internet-in-the-us

Previous tech barons had “reality distortion fields,” but Musk just blithely contradicts himself and pretends he isn’t doing so, like a budget Steve Jobs. There’s an entire site devoted to cataloging Musk’s public lies:

https://elonmusk.today/

But while Musk lacks the charm of earlier Silicon Valley grifters, he’s much better than they ever were at running a long con. For years, he’s been promising “full self driving…next year.”

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/09/herbies-revenge/#100-billion-here-100-billion-there-pretty-soon-youre-talking-real-money

He’s hasn’t delivered, but he keeps claiming he has, making Teslas some of the deadliest cars on the road:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/06/10/tesla-autopilot-crashes-elon-musk/

Tesla is a giant shell-game masquerading as a car company. The important thing about Tesla isn’t its cars, it’s Tesla’s business arrangement, the Tesla-Financial Complex:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/11/24/no-puedo-pagar-no-pagara/#Rat

Once you start unpacking Tesla’s balance sheets, you start to realize how much the company depends on government subsidies and tax-breaks, combined with selling carbon credits that make huge, planet-destroying SUVs possible, under the pretense that this is somehow good for the environment:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/04/14/for-sale-green-indulgences/#killer-analogy

But even with all those financial shenanigans, Tesla’s got an absurdly high valuation, soaring at times to 1600x its profitability:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/01/15/hoover-calling/#intangibles

That valuation represents a bet on Tesla’s ability to extract ever-higher rents from its customers. Take Tesla’s batteries: you pay for the battery when you buy your car, but you don’t own that battery. You have to rent the right to use its full capacity, with Tesla reserving the right to reduce how far you go on a charge based on your willingness to pay:

https://memex.craphound.com/2017/09/10/teslas-demon-haunted-cars-in-irmas-path-get-a-temporary-battery-life-boost/

That’s just one of the many rent-a-features that Tesla drivers have to shell out for. You don’t own your car at all: when you sell it as a used vehicle, Tesla strips out these features you paid for and makes the next driver pay again, reducing the value of your used car and transfering it to Tesla’s shareholders:

https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/6/21127243/tesla-model-s-autopilot-disabled-remotely-used-car-update

To maintain this rent-extraction racket, Tesla uses DRM that makes it a felony to alter your own car’s software without Tesla’s permission. This is the root of all autoenshittification:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/24/rent-to-pwn/#kitt-is-a-demon

This is technofeudalism. Whereas capitalists seek profits (income from selling things), feudalists seek rents (income from owning the things other people use). If Telsa were a capitalist enterprise, then entrepreneurs could enter the market and sell mods that let you unlock the functionality in your own car:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/06/11/1-in-3/#boost-50

But because Tesla is a feudal enterprise, capitalists must first secure permission from the fief, Elon Musk, who decides which companies are allowed to compete with him, and how.

Once a company owns the right to decide which software you can run, there’s no limit to the ways it can extract rent from you. Blocking you from changing your device’s software lets a company run overt scams on you. For example, they can block you from getting your car independently repaired with third-party parts.

But they can also screw you in sneaky ways. Once a device has DRM on it, Section 1201 of the DMCA makes it a felony to bypass that DRM, even for legitimate purposes. That means that your DRM-locked device can spy on you, and because no one is allowed to explore how that surveillance works, the manufacturer can be incredibly sloppy with all the personal info they gather:

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/29/tesla-model-3-keeps-data-like-crash-videos-location-phone-contacts.html

All kinds of hidden anti-features can lurk in your DRM-locked car, protected from discovery, analysis and criticism by the illegality of bypassing the DRM. For example, Teslas have a hidden feature that lets them lock out their owners and summon a repo man to drive them away if you have a dispute about a late payment:

https://tiremeetsroad.com/2021/03/18/tesla-allegedly-remotely-unlocks-model-3-owners-car-uses-smart-summon-to-help-repo-agent/

DRM is a gun on the mantlepiece in Act I, and by Act III, it goes off, revealing some kind of ugly and often dangerous scam. Remember Dieselgate? Volkswagen created a line of demon-haunted cars: if they thought they were being scrutinized (by regulators measuring their emissions), they switched into a mode that traded performance for low emissions. But when they believed themselves to be unobserved, they reversed this, emitting deadly levels of NOX but delivering superior mileage.

The conversion of the VW diesel fleet into mobile gas-chambers wouldn’t have been possible without DRM. DRM adds a layer of serious criminal jeopardy to anyone attempting to reverse-engineer and study any device, from a phone to a car. DRM let Apple claim to be a champion of its users’ privacy even as it spied on them from asshole to appetite:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/14/luxury-surveillance/#liar-liar

Now, Tesla is having its own Dieselgate scandal. A stunning investigation by Steve Stecklow and Norihiko Shirouzu for Reuters reveals how Tesla was able to create its own demon-haunted car, which systematically deceived drivers about its driving range, and the increasingly desperate measures the company turned to as customers discovered the ruse:

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-batteries-range/

The root of the deception is very simple: Tesla mis-sells its cars by falsely claiming ranges that those cars can’t attain. Every person who ever bought a Tesla was defrauded.

But this fraud would be easy to detect. If you bought a Tesla rated for 353 miles on a charge, but the dashboard range predictor told you that your fully charged car could only go 150 miles, you’d immediately figure something was up. So your Telsa tells another lie: the range predictor tells you that you can go 353 miles.

But again, if the car continued to tell you it has 203 miles of range when it was about to run out of charge, you’d figure something was up pretty quick — like, the first time your car ran out of battery while the dashboard cheerily informed you that you had 203 miles of range left.

So Teslas tell a third lie: when the battery charge reached about 50%, the fake range is replaced with the real one. That way, drivers aren’t getting mass-stranded by the roadside, and the scam can continue.

But there’s a new problem: drivers whose cars are rated for 353 miles but can’t go anything like that far on a full charge naturally assume that something is wrong with their cars, so they start calling Tesla service and asking to have the car checked over.

This creates a problem for Tesla: those service calls can cost the company $1,000, and of course, there’s nothing wrong with the car. It’s performing exactly as designed. So Tesla created its boldest fraud yet: a boiler-room full of anti-salespeople charged with convincing people that their cars weren’t broken.

This new unit — the “diversion team” — was headquartered in a Nevada satellite office, which was equipped with a metal xylophone that would be rung in triumph every time a Tesla owner was successfully conned into thinking that their car wasn’t defrauding them.

When a Tesla owner called this boiler room, the diverter would run remote diagnostics on their car, then pronounce it fine, and chide the driver for having energy-hungry driving habits (shades of Steve Jobs’s “You’re holding it wrong”):

https://www.wired.com/2010/06/iphone-4-holding-it-wrong/

The drivers who called the Diversion Team weren’t just lied to, they were also punished. The Tesla app was silently altered so that anyone who filed a complaint about their car’s range was no longer able to book a service appointment for any reason. If their car malfunctioned, they’d have to request a callback, which could take several days.

Meanwhile, the diverters on the diversion team were instructed not to inform drivers if the remote diagnostics they performed detected any other defects in the cars.

The diversion team had a 750 complaint/week quota: to juke this stat, diverters would close the case for any driver who failed to answer the phone when they were eventually called back. The center received 2,000+ calls every week. Diverters were ordered to keep calls to five minutes or less.

Eventually, diverters were ordered to cease performing any remote diagnostics on drivers’ cars: a source told Reuters that “Thousands of customers were told there is nothing wrong with their car” without any diagnostics being performed.

Predicting EV range is an inexact science as many factors can affect battery life, notably whether a journey is uphill or downhill. Every EV automaker has to come up with a figure that represents some kind of best guess under a mix of conditions. But while other manufacturers err on the side of caution, Tesla has the most inaccurate mileage estimates in the industry, double the industry average.

Other countries’ regulators have taken note. In Korea, Tesla was fined millions and Elon Musk was personally required to state that he had deceived Tesla buyers. The Korean regulator found that the true range of Teslas under normal winter conditions was less than half of the claimed range.

Now, many companies have been run by malignant narcissists who lied compulsively — think of Thomas Edison, archnemesis of Nikola Tesla himself. The difference here isn’t merely that Musk is a deeply unfit monster of a human being — but rather, that DRM allows him to defraud his customers behind a state-enforced opaque veil. The digital computers at the heart of a Tesla aren’t just demons haunting the car, changing its performance based on whether it believes it is being observed — they also allow Musk to invoke the power of the US government to felonize anyone who tries to peer into the black box where he commits his frauds.

How to Understand Ford TPMS Sensors - A Complete Guide

Among the things that are important in the automotive world are safety and efficiency; Ford has been at the forefront in coming up with technologies that ensure these standards are met. Ford TPMS sensors are among such innovations that play a very fundamental role in making sure that the safety and optimal performance of vehicles are achieved. The following article details the importance of the Ford Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensors, how they work, and explains why a TPMS programming tool is necessary for peak performance in any vehicle.               

What Are Ford TPMS Sensors?

The Ford TPMS sensors are devices installed in the wheels of a vehicle, designed to track the air pressure inside the tires. These sensors are integral parts of the broader Tire Pressure Monitoring System, which aims at warning the vehicle driver of reduced air pressure in the tires. Proper tire pressure is important for safety and fuel efficiency but also considerably prolongs the life service of your tires.

The information regarding tire pressure is then wirelessly sent to the onboard computer of the Ford vehicle. If the pressure in any tire, or all tires, reaches a level below what the manufacturer recommends, this system turns on a warning light on the instrument panel, alerting the driver to check and adjust the tire pressure accordingly.

Importance of Ford Tire Pressure Sensors

While tire pressure might be something most drivers simply choose to ignore, it is very important in car maintenance. Under-inflated tires are known to trigger a variety of problems related to fuel efficiency and tire wear but are also the cause of many serious blowouts that could lead to an accident. Ford tire pressure sensors shall help forestall these complications by keeping continuous tabs on the tire pressure and issuing alerts at the appropriate time.

Other than that, the correct tire pressure can also help the handling and braking performance of a vehicle; therefore, it will be safer out on the road, especially during bad weather. Low pressure raises resistance to rolling between the tire and the road. This could lead to overheating; when it becomes too extreme, it will lead to tire failure. On the other hand, over-inflated tires can reduce contact between the tire and the road. It leads to reduced traction with uneven tire wear.

How Ford Tire Pressure Sensors Work

Ford tire pressure sensors use the direct measurement methodology. They read the absolute air pressure in each tire and transmit this information back to the TPMS control module of the vehicle. The sensor itself is equipped with a small battery, a pressure sensor, and a transmitter. The sensor is usually attached to the valve stem of the tire or banded to the inside surface of the wheel.

As the vehicle keeps moving, so do the sensors, which are constantly tracking the air pressure and send the data that is then processed by the control module. The TPMS system issues a warning light from the lighting module onto the instrument panel when a tire is below the pre-set tire pressure threshold to indicate to the driver that he should check the tire.

Worth noting, the batteries in these sensors may have a limited life of about 5 to 10 years, depending on the driving conditions and usage of the vehicle. When this battery goes dead, the whole sensor has to be replaced; hence, regular maintenance and checks are necessary.

The Role of TPMS Programming Tools

Whether you are a professional repair technician or a do-it-yourself guy, a TPMS programming tool is one very valuable tool to have in your arsenal when working with Fords. These tools will let you program new and replacement Ford TPMS sensors for proper communication with the vehicle's TPMS control module.

If you are to install a new sensor to replace the faulty or dead one, it must be programmed to the system. In many cases, this is done by entering the unique ID that each sensor is factory-assigned with into the TPMS module so that the vehicle computer can read and communicate with it.

This will be easier using a TPMS programming tool, and it also ensures the new sensor is matched correctly to the vehicle. Without the programming, the light of the TPMS warning will continue to illuminate or just never turn on—a situation you would not desire to risk driving on an underinflated tire.

Pros of a TPMS Programming Tool

Here are some benefits of investing in a TPMS programming tool, which works well when one is regularly servicing his or her vehicle. Key among these advantages is:

Accurate Sensor Programming: An instrument for programming TPMS helps to ensure that new sensors are programmed accurately, avoiding any errors that would hinder the functioning of the TPMS system.

Cost-Effective Maintenance: Although the upfront investment appears significant, it can prove to be cost-effective in the long term since you will no longer have to incur the dealership charges for replacement and programming of the sensor.

Enhanced Safety: The properly programmed sensors will ensure that the system works fine by providing on-time alerts of low-pressure tires and thus avoiding accidents due to running under-inflated tires.

Better Vehicle Performance: With the working TPMS system, you will have optimal tire pressure for fuel economy, good handling, and long life for tires.

The Ford TPMS sensors are part of the safety of your vehicle, intended to ensure that all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure for both safe and fuel-efficient driving. Knowing how these sensors work, with a proper tool for Ford TPMS programming, will better equip you to take control of your vehicle's maintenance and ensure your tires perform optimally and last longer.

Regular checking of your tire pressure and keeping your TPMS sensors in good working order can help save you from expensive replacement costs, increase fuel efficiency, and most importantly, keep you safe on the road. Be it as an owner of a Ford or even a professional who works with Ford vehicles, there should be no understatement of the importance of maintaining your Ford tire pressure sensors and having a TPMS programming tool for that.

Is Your Car’s TPMS Faulty? Discover Why a Bypass Box Is a Reliable Fix

Your car’s tires are the only parts in contact with the road, making them crucial for safety and performance. Proper tire pressure is essential for optimal grip, handling, fuel efficiency, and reducing tire wear. But how do you know if your tires are inflated to the correct level? That’s where the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) comes in.

As a car owner, you probably already know that the TPMS is a modern automotive feature designed to keep you informed about your vehicle’s tire pressure status. This innovative technology has been a mandatory feature for all new car registrations in the UK and US. However, like any component, it can develop faults, causing more frustration than functionality. When issues arise, a TPMS bypass box can be a viable solution to consider, ensuring your driving experience remains seamless and secure.

Signs of a Faulty TPMS

Recognising the signs of a faulty TPMS is essential for maintaining not only the performance and efficiency of your vehicle but also for ensuring your safety on the road. Below are key indications that there may be issues with your vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring system:

Illuminated Warning Light

The most noticeable signal is the TPMS warning light on your dashboard. If this light remains lit after you’ve checked and adjusted your tire pressures to the appropriate levels, it could indicate a malfunction in the TPMS.

Incorrect Pressure Readings

A TPMS that displays pressure readings inaccurately, showing figures that diverge from what you know to be true (based on a manual gauge), suggests a fault in the system. Incorrect pressure information can negatively impact your vehicle’s handling and fuel efficiency as well as lead to premature tire wear.

Inconsistent Alerts

If the TPMS intermittently fails to monitor one or more tires or sends erratic alerts, this inconsistency can indicate a system fault. This is particularly dangerous for long journeys, where accurate tire pressure monitoring is vital for safety.

System Not Detecting All Tires

In some cases, the system might fail to detect pressure readings from certain wheels. This can be a clear sign of a TPMS malfunction. Accurate and comprehensive monitoring of all tires is crucial for the system’s effectiveness in safeguarding your vehicle’s operational integrity.

TPMS Sensor Issues

The individual sensors within the TPMS are prone to failures due to battery depletion, damage, or wear and tear over time. Since these sensors are critical for accurately monitoring tire pressures, any fault with them can compromise the entire TPMS functionality.

When TPMS issues are ignored, the ramifications extend beyond just an annoying dashboard light. Driving with improperly inflated tires can decrease your vehicle’s response capabilities, prolong braking distances, and ultimately, increase the likelihood of tire failures.

Reasons Why a TPMS Might Malfunction

Notwithstanding the sophistication of modern vehicular technology, TPMS is susceptible to several issues that could impair its functionality. For starters, a faulty TPMS sensor could provide incorrect readings due to internal malfunctions or battery wear-out. Sensors are typically designed to last but eventually require replacement after several years of service, which many car owners might overlook.

Additionally, the TPMS receiver, the component that communicates the sensor’s data to your vehicle’s dashboard display, can also be damaged. Accidents, harsh weather conditions, and general wear and tear can affect its operations.

Lesser known but equally problematic are software glitches that can misrepresent tire pressures or erroneously trigger warnings. Also, if you’re the type to customise your ride with aftermarket wheels, you may find that these new additions can sometimes interfere with your vehicle’s TPMS sensors, leading to compatibility issues.

The TPMS Bypass Box: A Convenient Solution

When your car’s tire pressure monitoring system consistently signals faults, a bypass box offers a pragmatic and efficient solution. This device essentially simulates the signal of a functioning TPMS sensor, tricking your car’s computer into thinking the system is working correctly. As a result, you eliminate constant error messages and warnings from your dashboard.

Bypassing your TPMS can be particularly appealing if the sensor replacement cost seems prohibitive or if your vehicle is older and less impacted by the absence of active TPMS readings. It offers a temporary fix, allowing you to continue using your car while you plan for long-term repair or replacement solutions.

Advantages of Using a TPMS Bypass Emulator

Integrating a TPMS bypass box into your vehicle system can help you avoid frequent visits to the mechanic due to persistent and erroneous TPMS warnings. It also saves on the costs of replacing sensors, particularly for older models where more economical solutions might be financially advantageous.

Beyond the immediate relief from persistent warning lights and fault notifications, a bypass box simplifies your vehicle’s electronic system management. This is particularly true if sensor replacements have become frequent and cumbersome.

Additionally, the installation of a TPMS bypass box is typically straightforward and can often be a DIY project if you’re handy with vehicle electronics. It comes with instructions, and many manufacturers provide online support. Once installed, it requires minimal maintenance, offering a hassle-free solution to a potentially problematic system.

TPMS Bypass Box: Installation Guide and Safety Advice

Installing a TPMS bypass emulator is a process that can be accomplished with basic technical knowledge and tools. The first step always involves ensuring the vehicle is safely off and parked. From here, the bypass box is usually connected to the TPMS module via simple plug-and-play connections as per the manufacturer’s guide. It is always recommended to follow the specific instructions provided by the bypass box manufacturer to ensure proper setup.

It’s critical to understand that while a bypass box can relieve TPMS-related issues, it does not replace the need for regular manual checks on your tire pressure. Safety, above all, should be your priority. Also, manually maintaining the recommended pressure level can prevent wear and maintain optimal fuel efficiency and safety standards.

In conclusion, a TPMS bypass box might be what you need if you find yourself battling constant TPMS faults that interfere with your driving experience. It offers a practical and cost-effective solution that permits continued use of your vehicle without the annoyance and distraction of malfunctioning TPMS warnings.

However, remember the importance of responsible use. Driver awareness and responsibility should never wane. The TPMS is, after all, a critical safety feature designed to alert drivers to potentially dangerous tire pressure issues. So, when opting for a bypass emulator, you should acknowledge the importance of maintaining a vigilant check on tire conditions. Conscientious driving, combined with regular maintenance, remains the cornerstone of automotive safety, regardless of the technological aids employed.

Are you tired of the persistent warnings from your car’s faulty TPMS system? Consider the convenience and relief of a reliable and well-made TPMS bypass box. Click here to choose the right emulator for your vehicle!

Stay Ahead of the Game with HHD Motors TPMS!

Our Tire Pressure Monitoring System keeps you in the know, ensuring your tires are always in top shape for a smooth and safe ride.

TPMS plays a crucial role in maintaining proper tire pressure and enhancing safety for your car in several ways:

Safety: Proper tire pressure is essential for optimal traction, handling, & braking performance. By alerting you to low tire pressure, TPMS helps reduce the risk of accidents caused by underinflated tires.

Tire Life: Correct tire pressure helps distribute the vehicle's weight evenly across the tire tread, reducing uneven wear & extending tire life. TPMS ensures that your tires are properly inflated, maximizing their lifespan.

Fuel Efficiency: Underinflated tires increase rolling resistance, which can lead to decreased fuel efficiency. By prompting you to maintain proper tire pressure, TPMS helps improve fuel economy & reduce fuel costs.

Environmental Impact: Maintaining proper tire pressure not only saves fuel but also reduces vehicle emissions. By promoting fuel efficiency, TPMS contributes to a lower environmental footprint.
