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

    Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Vehicles will not crash into each other once properly equipped. And they will not crash into inanimate objects or obstacles. But if someone chooses to disable the system and goes suicide by vehicle or gets into a fit of road rage... No system is perfect, and I...

    In the not-too-distant future all vehicles will be able to communicate, making accidental collisions a thing of the past.

    I don’t think this is an April Fools Day joke.😅 It also suggests Thailand may very well be the next destination for a Tesla factory. Model 2 AND CT? Be still my beating heart!

    Wow! Thanks DiscoDucky! Fascinating perspective from a former insider that I suspect will help a lot of anxious shareholders ride out what could be a stormy 24Q1!

    I don’t think it’s quite so clear a path to AI “commoditization” when it comes to vehicle integration. I would sooner short NVDA than bet other vehicle makers will catch up to Tesla in less than 3-5 years. Edit: Ditto what Cliff said!☺️

    What I do not understand is why the Tesla What I do not understand is why the Tesla Board and/or Elon do not fight Shorty fire with fire. I don't know the exact mechanism, but isn't it possible to create a state of constant fear by occasionally announcing on short notice a special dividend or...

    Sorry, I'm a bricklayer, not an engineer.😜 But I'm quite confident the Good Cat is nowhere near as efficient as my Y!

    We have had a similar experience with our Chinese-built Great Wall Motors Ora Good Cat. It's cute and mostly functional, but charging, traction control and S/W are truly light years behind our Shanghai-built Model Y.

    It's not a crazy stretch to think Optimus will be mining the asteroid belt for vast quantities of precious metals in the next decade.

    I know Thailand is but one market, but pick up trucks are quite popular here. There's quite a lot of rural area and mountainous terrain and roads that become quite wet and treacherous during monsoon season. That plus a large ag industry make CT an ideal vehicle for The Land of Smiles. While I...
