Yeah, I wasn't so much thinking GM would buy a few computers and solve this thing. But Nvida has money, and some smart people, and can afford to keep a portion of their chips for themselves and throw more computing power than anyone has ever thought possible at a problem like this, and then...

Ok, creating variations of real cases was actually gonna be a second example but didn't want to make my post to long. It just seems like we are getting closer to a point where you can tell the AI to make the edge cases. Like create videos of the one thousand most common things people put on...

Well it's been a couple of years since they had one hasn't it? Things can change. It seems like it has regarding AI. Also, I recall they were intended as recruitment for getting new AI employees. Was pretty sure I would not qualify so skipped some parts :)

Regarding FSD and AI. This is a genuine question. I really don't know how this stuff works. Would it be possible now that AI can make videos to just fabricate millions of videos instead of actually driving real miles, and then have FSD computer learn from those videos instead? Like tell AI to...

Yeah, I was being kind to Elon. Dealerships just try to keep you in the office to upsell you on stuff. You are free to leave at anytime and go buy somewhere else. Elon wanted to make you have no choice than to spend time to be able to get a car you already paid for delivered. This was so badly...

Been catching up on the last day of posts. If I understand this correctly Elon now wants Tesla to kidnap their customers at delivery for an hour, or longer, to up-sell? Not a single poster thought that was a little ... un-Tesla? I've seen thousands of posts over the years criticizing dealers...

There is probably a 100.000 persons in the world that can nominate anyone for the peace prize. I could probably get someone to nominate me. It's almost weird if you are wellknown and nobody nominates you. Number 5. is a lot of people worldwide. Qualified nominators A nomination for the...

Can someone well versed in US tax give an opinion on this reasoning? A package giving Elon options like last time won't work for his 25% goal. Right now he can only vote around 13%. Not the 18% his options will get him. Those options won't become shares until 2028. So starting a new options...

Has there been any discussion somewhere about the biggest flaw in this whole debacle? If Elon owned 100% of Tesla and fully controlled whatever AI and robots Tesla built, exactly how would that save the world from whatever bad would happen if he didn't? How would that protect us from the...

He hasn't. He got a compensation plan in 2018 that was intended for 10 years.

Hold on a sec. Elon has been talking about robotics and Optimus from a Tesla perspective for a long time now. So it's safe to assume they are a part of Tesla for now or there will be some huge lawsuits for false presentation or something if it turns out they are not. I know Tesla doesn't like...

What??? In statements in 2018 Elon said "If all that happens over the next 10 years is that Tesla’s value grows by 80 or 90 percent, then my amount of compensation would be zero" and "I actually see the potential for Tesla to become a trillion-dollar company within a 10-year period". So this...

Absolutely, I didn't say making 4680s was a mistake. I think it's great they are investing in making better batteries. The mistake was stopping the expansion of 2170s until 4680s were in full production with yields and costs solved. If Panasonic and/or others didn't want to there were probably...

Well, Giga Nevada was originally designed to make a lot more batteries than they are. If Panasonic didn't want to do that despite Elon saying they would buy everything there is clearly a problem. Either with the promised price, or the longevity on the promise to buy everything wasn't for long...

Am I the only one that thinks Tesla shot itself in the foot by underestimating how long it would take to get 4680s to ramp? They clearly stopped ramping 2170s since they thought 4680s was the future. 4680s probably are but like many other Tesla projects this one is taking longer than expected...
