AUSTIN, Texas — Tesla Inc. is reportedly manufacturing their vehicles to drive intentionally in motorists’ field-of-view blind spots, confirmed frustrated sources.
“Listen, I know how it sounds, but Elon said there’s a good reason for it. Something about trolling other drivers, I think,” said Zach Cooper, project coordinator for the Tesla AI Team. “Every week Elon pulls us out of the office with some harebrained scheme plagiarized from 10-year-old Reddit comments and we have to drop everything. We’re working on the Chungus Protocol right now, want to know what it does? It just tailgates drivers for no reason. Soon we’ll be coding a Doge emblem in the HUD. As for the blind spot autopilot, we had to outsource our training data to those little fish who suck themselves onto the sides of sharks, remoras I think.”
Tesla drivers weigh in on the supposed parasitism at work in their autonomous drive.
“It’s all pretty impressive if you ask me,” said frequent driver and Tesla owner Theodore Van Roberts. “One button and the Tesla surfs towards the mighty highway shark, drafting off a larger vehicle’s slipstream with the smooth superior curves of a Tesla. I can feel Elon smile upon me as the Tesla gets right into the sweet spot of a highway brute’s car. It’s simply brains-over-brawn if you will. Driving is so pedestrian, and through superior technology we have evolved beyond it. Now when I’m behind the wheel I get to focus on my Reels.”
Other drivers don’t seem to share such an optimistic outlook.
“Autopilot is the cuck chair of the highway,” said proud F150 owner Garth Dean. “Letting someone else drive your truck, letting a machine? Makes my blood boil just thinking about it. I don’t even shoulder check anymore because I know there’s a Tesla right where my mirrors can’t see. Drifting into my blind spot like the Viet Cong, goddamn Tesla. You know, I keep a cup full of ball bearings in my truck now, one of them Big Gulp’s full of steel marbles. Sometimes I toss a handful out the driver’s side window just for the hell of it. Let’s see the AI handle some unpredictable hazards the American way.”
At press time, Tesla also announced that it will be programming Cybertrucks to have their brights on right behind drivers at all hours of the day.
