FSD discussion

That's it. We can increase safety- especially in regards to drunk driving and walkers in urban areas but we won't impact greenhouse gas emissions without moving the fleet. Agree completely on multi-passenger issue, thats really the issue.

EVs make only a small impact on GHG, anyway, but RTs could increase the impact:

1. We're battery constrained for next decade. Each 80 kWh in a 100k+ mile/year RT has 5-10x the impact of a privately owned commuter BEV
2. Carpool commuting is much easier with RTs
3. <100 Wh/mile 1-2 person RTs could become a large fraction of the fleet
4. RTs could be a last mile solution for streamlined mass transit

I don't get point 1 at all.
2- Don't think it is relevant-t's just so small a % that it doesn't move the needle and see point 3- Tesla apparently agrees that's why they plan to make a tiny RT
3- you have to have tens of millions of them. If they really want to make 2 person robotaxis then it means they think nobody will carpool, fyi. You are just very close to a stranger.
4- Agree! the key point is is streamline mass transit. Mass transit can improve time/costs/sustainability of transport issues and RTs could do many last mile trips and never leave a terminus area, that's a great use of RT and could make mass transit more practical.

Looks like FSD in China is imminent. But they're back to the "FSD Beta" language instead of "FSD Supervised" for the new country:

Tesla Software in China Shows 'Employee FSD Beta Program' as Tesla Prepares for Launch

FSD Beta text noticed in software for Chinese Tesla employees, pointing to an upcoming release of FSD in China.
