    Help Fight the FUD

    All that's left is for Elon to rename Mars to Mongo.

    Elon Musk once mocked China’s BYD. Now it’s running circles around Tesla

    "Running circles around" seems like click bait hyperbole. If one searches news items for the term online, the results are interesting...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    A wise man (one of my earliest and best bosses) once said, "A good guesser is right 51% of the time. A bad guesser is right 49% of the time. The trick is to save your good guesses for important decisions and use the rest for figuring out where to eat lunch and other inconsequential activities.

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    At least Obama is consistent in his views regarding Russia and Ukraine. He WAS the POTUS when Putin began his adventure. With regard to the conflict, history will judge him either as a genius or an idiot. There will be no middle ground.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    These cameras would benefit left and right turns. The "bumper" cameras would be incorporated into each headlight assembly and would face at a 90° angle to the direction of the vehicle. It's not a hard problem to solve.

    Trump will end Biden's EV (tax credit) policies

    Since Elon is such a anti-subsidy libertarian, maybe he should start lobbying to remove US oil and gas subsidies. Here's a list: https://www.eesi.org/papers/view/fact-sheet-fossil-fuel-subsidies-a-closer-look-at-tax-breaks-and-societal-costs

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Whether that actually existed online for more than a few minutes is the real question. My experience with making innocuous changes in OSM to things like speed limits is that the moderators take days and sometimes weeks to accept a change. And even valid changes are often rejected. I assume your...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Considering the lack of community consensus, as evidenced by the disparate ratings of my post, I request that it be nominated as a Post of Indistinction.

    Tesla Unionization

    UAW fails again at Mercedes in AL: https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/alabama-mercedes-benz-workers-vote-against-joining-uaw-union/ The unionization campaign isn't going too smoothly. Note from the article that the vote wasn't close.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I want to preface my remarks that for what it's worth, I voted yes. But if the nos have it and Elon leaves, I won't cry. It was one thing when he was advocating for electric vehicles and Mars, but after COVID hit, his true libertarian side began to show. I don't blame him for being...

    Waymo

    Tesla? 😉

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Until you posted this, I thought I was imagining the same thing. Today, my car slowed down at a lower speed limit sign. There may be simple weighting factors that can be downloaded to the car via a hot fix patch

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    If somehow the real casualty figures were obtained, it would be difficult to separate out Hamas fighters casualties from those of adult civilians. The prewar estimate of the number of Hamas fighters was 30,000 to 40,000 and the IDF has claimed to have killed 10,000. Even these numbers are...
