Yes but there have to be calculations on how the float changed through buying in the last weeks after inclusion. This price action for 11 green trading days is very unnatural to my eye.

Anybody here already did the math on the current „active-underweight-funds-squeeze“? see the theory here: https://twitter.com/garyblack00/status/1347537523917012996?s=21 I am looking for specific boundary calculations on what would happen to the current stock price if EVERY fund that is...

The best thing Musk has done was aligning Teslas research/financial goals with its sustainability goals. A huge impact to climate change would be electric cars + autonomy (because total % of miles driven by EV vs. ICE will go up very dramatically through autonomy) + breakthrough...

well it would have been a good idea to rate the systems according to actual empirical safety data or otherwise keep it out alltogether... How many safety critical events have there been on supercruise per mile driven vs. other systems on the same roads?

Interesting, in my mind wrong choice of lanes and misidentification of objects are the expected failure modes of this beta. Unexpected to me would be e.g. extreme steering on straight roads.

While the car clearly scared the occupants at 01:30 and thus did badly, If you look at the front wheel angles, it would actually seem to not have hit the other car on the turn. Remember that computers can calculate distances much better than drivers, the FSD cars will probably drive within two...

Watching these videos and seeing the incredible global (or US for now) variety of driving scenarios everybody can quickly reach the conclusion that this kind of FSD program is not "one way to do it" but essentially the "only way" we are going to get lvl 5. The world is messy and mostly does not...

I think the beta members are all in all very responsible and the beta build itself seems very safe, almost too timid in many situations. I have seen no unexpected failure modes other than a construction sign reflection within a puddle which was identified wrongly as a cone/sign and surprised the...

Even better than the George Hotz one, this is the best interview on Lex channel about the topic. Jim Keller was very close to the effort at Tesla and is one of the best engineers on the planet. Especially his comments about things in the real world being "really damped in terms of rates of...

public service announcement: don’t feed the trolls The technology stacks are completely different and one has nothing to do with the other. Let‘s look to the future. The only relevant question is who will be first to ship profitable countrywide lvl4/5 robotaxies without occupant liability.

They clearly left only the succesful parts in the edit and it kind of paints a wrong picture here but some of it is really impressive. Overall it seems to be great when it works (e.g. slowing for speed bumps or creeping into right turns with heavy traffic) but horrible when it doesnt (e.g...

Its one better forward looking radar unit and has absolutely nothing to do with 360 degree LIDAR cars... Its the most normal thing in the world that Tesla continually improves their current sensors like everything else they improve in their cars all the time. The cars with the new sensors will...

Yes per Tony Seba, maybe >50% of the cars will still be personally owned BUT >90% of miles driven will be in robotaxis.

The Killer Feature: Alcohol! ;-)

You might not, but some guy in Reno or Las Vegas will be. People really really underestimate how fast the progress will be now with the whole learning engine set-up by Karpathy et al.. Getting higher and higher reliability will be a matter of months after wide release, not years. Btw. it will...
