If only there was a way to get home from the bar without having to drive 
Walking is for commies.
why the fuck did he think being in the passenger seat with no one at the wheel was the way to go???
Yeah if his son had his permit why not have him drive
Unless he was drunk too
Probably didn't trust the son enough to drive the expensive truck
but you trust literally no one at the wheel? 
I fucking hate cars and 
. People are so shit at driving that it's not implausible for "literally no one" to be better than a 16 y/o.
What else do you expect when they were dumb enough to buy a Cybertruck
What's the point of having a son with a learners permit if he can't drive you home from the bar at 2pm!
A lot of people seem to be missing something. The cybertruck doesn't have self driving yet.
He was driving drunk and when he got pulled over for being all over the road, he slid over into the passenger seat and tried to pull the "welll ossifer, it was driiiiving itself" excuse but now he's scared it won't hold up in court because FSD is still not available on the cybertruck.
Don't the bazingamobiles force the """driver""" to grip the wheel anyway?
Idk why but this has some real Ricky from Trailer Park Boys energy
"Look, if I can't smoke and swear in court, I'm fucked."
Your honor, shit's fucked and it's fucked up and I'm fucked, FUCK.
Worst case Ontario, you tell the Khybertruck to self smart itself and drive ya home, then the computer thing's the one gettin' a DUI, not you. Doesn't take rocket appliances to figure out, I mean I wasn't even in the fuckin' drivers seat and Trinity was in the back keeping an eye on shit, and that dick George Green was the one who arrested me and he was probably fuckin' drunker than I was. This is fucked
It absolutely boggles the mind that people still have this much faith in Elon Musk. Have they never heard of Twitter?
He announces that FSD is right around the corner every three years, and they cheer and trust him and… huff paint?
How do people this stupid have enough money to waste on a Cybertruck?
That's capitalism. It's a system that rewards those least deserving.
Feel good movie about Musk pushing out a self-driving update so this heroic patriotic alcoholic dad gets his son back on Christmas. Make it a Kelly Cartoon too 
"DU-Cry"
How does he think this is going to work? Some lawyer for the prosecution has almost certainly seen this post by now, and all they need to do is point out in court that the "self-driving" update for the dumptruck was installed weeks after the guy was arrested for the DUI.
"Your honor, you can see here that my client had the Full Self Driving option for his truck."
oh god, he knows that there's no way he had FSD at the time of the incident
Honestly, that guys son needs to be rehomed for his own safety.
Hurry Elon, I need your independent space colony on Mars. The judge said if I am on Earth, I will have to come to court. When is it happening Elon? I need it!
When i was kid in my village people had horses for that.
I once went to some colonial America living history museum thing once and some guy playing the "town constable" or whatever said that riding a horse in town while intoxicated was indeed a crime back then and could land you jail time. Idk if he was BSing or not.
I just did some searching, and I couldn't find a single reference to any law criminalizing drunk riding that isn't fairly recent.
Looking at some of the state laws criminalizing drunk riding: Minnesota only criminalized it in 2000, Oregon explicitly extended the motor vehicle code to riding animals, and it appears several other states(NH,SD,MA) it was the courts determined that horses were considered vehicles under the law. Interestingly SD explicitly excluded horses from the definition of vehicles back in 2006. I didn't look at every state, but from those laws and a few articles I found about the earliest drunk driving laws(this one about Vermont is interesting) it seems likely that the constable was wrong.
I think the reason drunk riding probably wasn't illegal before cars is that it didn't really need to be. Horses aren't machines, they don't do exactly what the rider wants them to do at all times. If a rider is completely wasted and passes another horse or pedestrian, the horse will instinctively avoid them even if the rider directs them toward collision. It really only becomes an issue when 2000+lb machines zooming around that have the potential to scare the horse that the rider needs to be fully capable of taking control.
I don't know why I just did an effort post about this, but I found it interesting.
Yeah drunk riding is probably overall more safe, but I imagine if someone got his horse up to full gallop while drunk he could potentially plow into a pedestrian or something.
Tho, I suppose towns back then just had a general "don't ride your horse recklessly in town" laws, regardless of your intoxication level.
All Constables Are Bad, never trust a word out of their mouths
It's intersting topic. Currently in Poland it's in the somewhat gray zone - you can lose licence and get heavy punishments for driving a vehicle when drunk, but horse isn't a vehicle according to the law definition (some paragraphs even specify "mechanical vehicle"). But in the road codex there are some exclusions where you can ride a horse or horse wagon, so you would need to pay attention to those. Also riding horse when drunk on the road would met the definition of "causing a danger in road traffic" and this is punishable too, though lighter than drunk drive.
Finally there is interesting loophole (afaik not checked yet) where a horse would go on autohorsepilot while the human would be lying drunk to total unconciousness on its back or in the wagon, so it would be unclear if he could be even counted as rider/driver.
Of course all this was nonsense in the relevant 70's/80's back then it was afaik legal and even if not, nobody i knew ever got into trouble for this. We also had maybe 1% of current cars so understandably the regulations were more relaxed and on such villages horse wagons and tractors were equally common sight as cars on the roads.
Brilliant solution, honestly.
Still love the truck
this guy
their son
his court date
I support my he/they comrades, just feels bizarre to see in a bazingabrain tweet 
It really is a victory for non-binary representation that we not have NB alcoholic delinquent parents 
I don't know if the drunk driving or trusting Tesla self driving is the worse part here.
I feel like the worst part is thinking that an update coming out after the fact changes anything, you got your DUI when it wasn’t updated.
it's probably people thinking they can drink and drive because the magic technology man made a legal loophole that would make a sovereign citizen 
Elon please, I need update for my treat so I don't go to jail!
surely a software update can alleviate all legal and moral culpability
