Right? And I'm not even saying that Musk's approach doesn't have its own risks and drawbacks. It may in fact ultimately be the wrong approach (time will tell). But of one thing I'm certain: Elon has infinitely more knowledge about the staff / structure at Tesla (what is working, what is...

Because you find out what the actual necessary tasks / tough issues are, because they actually need to get done. All those tasks / items that people claim are necessary, but actually are not (or can easily be absorbed by 1/10 of a person), do not bubble up to the top as "emergencies." It's...

What do you disagree with @mborkow ? I said there are pros and cons to Musk's approach.

Disagree. Sometimes, the most efficient way of truly determining who the actual productive contributors are, is to let everyone go. Supervisors obfuscate. Don't get me wrong...once you let them go (and then find out who the actual contributors are), there's still a great risk that you won't...

Just a little update: Coming up, I have two road trips (one 1600 mile round trip and one 500 mile road trip within 30 days of one another. So I will be at least subscribing to FSD for that month. This will start around May 16. I have reverted back to standard "Enhanced Autopilot" for the past...

This is how Elon operates. Nothing new. "If you don't add back some parts...you didn't cut enough in the first place." This goes for people as well as processes and physical parts. Most companies will "trim staff selectively". Elon will "slice drastically." Both approaches have pros and...

No, if they believe in their approach, they should do something like invest $10 billion this year and quadruple their AI training compute.. They would also lay the groundwork for getting their approach approved in more jurisductions like China and Europe...which they are doing. Don't get me...

My free trial has ended, so I will not be doing any more FSD drives until 12.4.x is available for me, at which point I will re-subscribe for a month. After 30 days of heavy use of FSD 12.x, my basic conclusions: 2 Significant areas I am looking to be improved with the next major update or two...

Making logistical / progress in China as well: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-29/tesla-clears-key-china-fsd-hurdle-with-baidu-mapping-deal

Exactly correct. If you purchased EAP (Enhanced AutoPilot) with your Plaid, you should have the following available to you now: AutoPark Navigate on Autopilot (this is like FSD 'light' for highway driving) Auto Lane Change (om Highway) If you have not purchased EAP, then at this point you...

At least has to be comparable in terms of comfort and efficiency....as long as it is significantly cheaper.

More progress...

Exactly why I started this thread. Granted, my personal route and observations will be anecdotal...but I believe will be at least somewhat telling.

Wrong on both counts. Why is it, that if someone has a different opinion than you, that that someone must be "naive" or "new?" When Elon did his "Zuckerburg drive" about a year ago announcing / demoing the new architecture with Ashok, my first reaction was "it's going to be another few years...

Much more "reliable" in my experience. In any case this is the primary reason why I started this thread and put the effort in to documenting my experience. To show direct evidence (or lack thereof) of increasing reliability as new versions come out. With some measure of objectivity and also...
