Not lambasted, I think you (like a lot of analysts) assumed 4680 would just be eventually "turned on". Battery day made it VERY clear it would be an iterative process that would take 5-6 years to hit targets. That's what those of us disagreeing with you are focused on - we are not expecting it...

Agreed. Simple example - one that should ring home to the users on this forum - if the USA had been in communism or socialism for the past 100 years you would have an agrarian society, and the following things you enjoy and take for granted today would never have existed: 1) EVs 2) cell phones...

Probably going to be an initial test phase to see what avenues provide best ROI, then a re-focus of additional revenues to those areas. Elon's not a stupid businessman, despite what some here want others to believe. He will have the proper paper trail created to prove whatever avenue they end...

A distributed grid is more resilient . . . go figure. Meanwhile back in the states, they want to force us off solar+batteries behind the meter. /rant off

In all fairness, Microsoft has a long history of abusing other companies APIs and software licenses, then fighting it in court. Not picking a side here, but MS is far from a company with a pristine history.

Kazakhstan appears to be a major route around sanctions for Russia. https://www.occrp.org/en/investigations/kazakhstan-has-become-a-pathway-for-the-supply-of-russias-war-machine-heres-how-it-works

I have beta, I use it daily. It sees stuff (as visualized on the screen) that I cannot always see around forward turns, etc.

The 3 forward facing cameras can. They sit further forward than your head.

This has never ended well for those suing about "unintended acceleration". Particularly with Tesla. The amount of data uploaded to the mothership on accidents is astounding. Tesla will be able to disclose in court video from all cameras of the incident, how much the guy weighs, how hard he...

But but . . . the competition is coming! :rolleyes:

It's not like these people don't know this up front. You want a Tesla lease, you get no buy-out option. Period, nuff said. There is no slight of hand, not deceptions, it's just how Tesla leases operate. Don't like it, don't lease a Tesla.

Awesome. There should be enough F-16s in Europe to make a good first wave. And I'm sure the US is looking forward to back-filling those with F35s. Win win.

The Tesla-haters on the mache forums are very pissed off about the BC price increase. Entertaining if nothing else.

Don't believe that was the reason he left. IIRC.

Elon's dealing with this issue was a master-class for anyone in management. "OK, we'll look into this. Better yet, how about we place a webcam on the mine and let everyone just see for themselves if there is any child labor." I'm sure there will be splitting of hairs on the implementation...

Only worry if you see the sun. ;)

No no. Not the MSM "reports". But the ACTUAL original source. Because all I saw was Elon call him someone that "hates humanity". No anti-semitic slur, etc.

Would be curious if you leave TSLA what you replace the investment with. Even if I hated Elon (which I don't), I can't find any current company as well run with nearly as large a TAM to replace the investment with.

So you have no proof, you just spout Kremlin bullshit and hope it sticks enough. I would be looking for a new job if I were you, things aren't looking so rosey in la-la-land.

Proof of bioweapon labs please. Otherwise, you are just spouting Putin's tripe.

So because Soros is Jewish, he's supposed to get a pass on . . . everything? Soros hasn't always played nice in the sandbox with people.

Proof of anti-semitism please. Because in the CNBC yesterday he denied this specific claim, and called it out and listed how his views have been pro-semitic. I think you are watching too much MSM, should probably watch interviews of him instead (i.e. go to the source).

Had a safety disengagement this AM. Wife got a nail in a tire on the 2020 Y P. Coming back from the tire shop, wide road in an industrial area. FSD didn't want to split the large lane, I think it assumed it was 2 lanes, and it made a MAD DASH for the right. I'm not sure it would have hit a...

You seem to want to blame Elon for everything financial, yet are completely ignoring the macros. To take your backlog example and counterpoint: Lucid - zero backlog now, accumulating cars on lots Rivian - down from 2 years to 2 weeks backlog Ford F150 Lightning - down from 1 year backlog to ...

In my experience, FWIW, FSD behaves considerably different on different settings. I have a lot more interventions if I tell it to be aggressive and lane change vs. the default settings.

Pretty sure Harpoons don't have the range to get from Odesa to Sevastapol to hit the fleet there. Unless something has changed, IIRC they are not capable to be air-launched either (but that can change with the proper mounting equipment developments). EDIT - Harpoon...

It won't go to true zero if off. The discharge rate when the battery is at 5% is EXTREMELY low. When ours were installed, they sat off, at 10%, for 6 weeks (waiting for a part to complete install - we were early adopters in 2017). In 6 weeks, they lost 1%.

And see, this beguiles your lack of understanding of the system. Patriot is a system that has been through about 12 different revisions. Gulf war was version 2.0, with an intercept rate of 20-25%. The most recent version has confirmed intercept rates of 90-95% for most missiles, and is...

Further proof that you can never make everyone happy . . .

Elon NOT stepping down as CEO.

Elon - "we'll try a little advertising, and see how it goes"

JB officially on the board. No surprise there.

Idiotic shareholder proposal #2 . . . Investor advocates for social justice . . . representing the NUNS!!!!

Idiotic shareholder proposal #1 . . . keyman risk (something that Boards already do by default)

JB joining the board! Guess someone tallied up the votes already. :)

They didn't make the deadline for that this year. :D

Apparently it was a group of Kinzhal's, not just one. And only one Patriot battery. So much for the vaunted "missile that can't be intercepted".

Use 16 point font? LoL

These are supposed to be user reports, they are supposed to be manuf reports. I'm def smelling some cherry-picking here.

So, honest question, am I the only one that looked that raw data (did just now)? The number of reported incidents for Cruise is 9. NINE. I've had that many myself in a Cruise vehicle in the past 18 months during my SF trips. Things that literally are listed for those 9 events, I have...

Source please, not just the graph. I want to dig into how that is reported, b/c something smells off there. That has not been my personal experience (in the last 3 months) with Cruise in SF.

Amazed that guy hasn't been rounded up and thrown in prison for sedition already.

Can stormshadow be re-purposed for this? Is the warhead large enough?

Not a disagree, I just don't see Waymo's solution as either cost-effective or scalable long-term. It's more a proof-of-concept demonstration (which is at least better than what MobileEye has done). Tesla's solution, while funded by FSDb early adopters, has the potential to properly scale up...

Where is the data supporting this 1 in 10k disengagement rate? Seems to be pulled out of thin air. The YT videos I've watched certainly don't support that assertion, not even remotely close.

I actually have monthly reviews on their projects. So effectively, they are the same thing. Potato, poTato. Plus, the Tweet specifically said "1 page description of April accomplishments + new product ideas". What about that is unreasonable?

What you want isn't what is advertised. And supervision-free rides in Waymo and Cruise are of such short distances, at such low speeds, in such restricted areas, that their practical "value" is minimal. I'll take FSDb over that any day, as it provides me substantially more value on a day to...

Fortunately, it's not marketed or sold as "driverless". Still my intervention-free rides in SoCal say you are missing the bigger point.

So there is something wrong with people being accountable for the work they are supposed to do? I've fired multiple people in the past month, people that were just hired, because they thought it was acceptable to watch other people do a job that they were hired to do. Sorry, but employment is...
