I believe Teslas cannot operate without an Internet connection.

A huge part of our military is now “in the cloud”.

What do you want to bet that AWS experiences an especially severe outrage just as Taiwan or Ukraine goes hot? It wouldn’t cripple us, but it would be inconvenient.

Sooo right! We’re committing suicide by welding our lives to these machines.

Devices that need clouds? How would they stay charged up in the shade?

oh, this is some Google type thing, never mind.

I don’t want a ‘Smart’ refrigerator, stove or washer spying and tattling on me. I don’t want any stream of ‘notifications’ on how other people are using these devices either. Some people do, and that is their choice.
I don’t want ‘Smart’ eye glasses or shoes. I don’t even want a ‘Smart’ bed!

Actually, Roomba works just fine without a cloud connection.

You are absolutely wrong. There are long sections of highway in the mountains where there is NO web access/phone service unless you have a satellite connection, which is very unlikely in a moving vehicle. I see Teslas on these roads regularly.

We deliberately go out of our way to avoid cloud connecting anything or even computer chips.

Mr. mm even had trouble finding a chain saw that didn’t have a computer chip in it.

We want something mechanical that we can fix ourselves and I am not going to depend on some computer to be able to enter my own home.

I was wrong. IT’s not an Internet connection. It’s a cellphone connection.

“Tesla cars have prepaid cellular connections for mapping/navigation, voice recognition, bug reporting, software updates and entertainment (including streaming audio with different services depending on the region and a web browser). The car also provides telemetry data to Tesla to help it improve Autopilot and maps.”

I believe you are wrong, again.

It's obvious that the internet will go down; by plan, attack or accident.

Best be prepared.

Give up. You are only digging deeper. The cellphone connection is the internet connection and they run funevif there is no connection.

What was the toll on the 20-30 year old gamers living in their parents home, when AWS was down nine hours?

This covid vax is just a test to see how far they can bend us. They tried to isolate us, keep us from our families. Now they’re trying to deny us a living and potentially healthcare.

The ultimate goal is to have our smart devices paired with everything, cars, TV, electricity, fridges, stove tops, etc., and deny us access to these conveniences if we don’t submit to their “inoculations” and other authoritarian requirements.

But first they need to see who won’t bend, and how far they can push before we do. This is only a test.
