This is a set of notes on the Quinn Emanuel report on Cruise's handling of the 2023-10-02 accident where a Cruise autonomous vehicle (AV) hit a pedestrian, stopped, and then started moving again with the pedestrian stuck under the bottom of the AV, dragging the pedestrian 20 feet. After seeing some comments about this report, I read five stories on this report and then skimmed the report and my feeling is that the authors of four of the stories probably didn't read the report, and that people who were commenting had generally read stories by journalists who did not appear to read the source material, so the comments were generally way off base. As we previously discussed, it's common for summaries to be wildly wrong, even when they're summarizing a short paper that's easily read by laypeople, so of course summaries of a 200-page report are likely to be misleading at best.

First, it is not a Macan E, nor is it a Macan Electric. Porsche only refers to it as the “new Macan.” No name affix, just Porsche Macan. That should clarify that the electric model is not just an addition to the combustion-powered Macan (which will continue to be offered for now) but the replacement. “Our bestseller is going electric,” said Porsche boss Oliver Blume at the premiere in Singapore. However, to avoid confusion in sales, the new model is labelled “Electric” in the configurator.

Tesla's next growth wave won't come until late 2025 when the automaker launches a low-cost vehicle on a next-generation platform, starting at its factory in Texas and later moving to a future plant in Mexico, CEO Elon Musk said .
