    As he alludes to, this is different on Teslas. Where in an attempt to save a few bucks on a simple sensor they’re using “machine learning” to detect rain with the front-facing camera and it doesn’t fucking work.

      To be fair, a few dollar sensor would also require a harness, space on the windshield, some computing power, and a bunch of wiring.

      They have a history of being cheap, and it’s worth it to make it work, but it’s quite an exaggeration to say it’s just the sensor they’re saving money on.
