Elon Musk<\/strong> is attempting to tamp down any fears about Tesla cars that a new Netflix movie has stoked — but he isn’t really addressing the heart of the problem … ultra smart cars.<\/p>\n Here’s the deal … Netflix released this new film called ‘Leave the World Behind’ and there’s a scene in there where Model 3 Teslas drive themselves into a massive pileup on a road leading back to NYC … this amid a mass power outage\/possible cyber attack on Earth.<\/p>\n Like we said, it’s freaky because the cars literally crash themselves into a never-ending accident with nobody in the vehicles — which the main characters have to escape — and the scene highlights Tesla’s high-tech self-driving capability … but in a nightmare scenario.<\/p>\n What makes this moment in the movie extra eerie is the fact that it’s all white Model 3s that are doing this … seemingly at the whim of hackers who are sending the cars to their doom.<\/p>\n Elon responded to a spliced version of this scene on Netflix’s Twitter\/X account, and he seemingly tried reassuring people that his Teslas would fare well in a doomsday situation like the one depicted on camera. He wrote, “Teslas can charge from solar panels even if the world goes fully Mad Max and there is no more gasoline!”<\/p>\n Like we said, he’s *trying* to downplay the terror in the scene — but EM either didn’t watch the scene in full, or he hasn’t seen the whole film yet … ’cause the car not being able to start is NOT the problem here. Rather, it’s the fact they can freaking drive on their own!<\/p>\n There’ve been reports<\/strong> of Teslas that have gotten into some bad wrecks<\/strong> (allegedly in autopilot mode) — but it’s unclear if the self-driving feature had anything to do with the cause.<\/p>\n Still, it looks like Netflix capitalized on those fears of “too-smart cars” and turned it into a horror movie, of sorts … at least for this 1 scene, anyway. The flick, in general, doesn’t focus entirely on this issue … but it is certainly a highlight. Shout-out Julia Roberts<\/strong>‘ driving!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anyway, here’s Elon’s guarantee that Teslas would serve you well in the apocalypse … so get ’em while you can, we suppose? \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n
