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

    You can’t look at the FSD price cut in a “for profit” vacuum. As discussed in this thread by some genius, Tesla’s data needs are growing rapidly as the FSD gets better and as compute Increases. The price cut may be one way they are using to increase FSD usage and therefore usable data.

    If anyone is wondering where Musk got his reorganization ideas from, rememeber he just met with the Argentinian president last week.

    Right, and I'm saying "different models to create more reliable perception" is generally wrong. There are many computer vision tasks out there, and the state of the art solutions are "end to end" deep learning models, not some DL models combined with some other computer vision algorithms. Those...

    Autonomous Car Progress

    There's two separate things - the amount / variety of sensors input and the modeling approach. I don't like the term "redundant", that makes it sound like it's a backup / safety critical system when all it really means is there is some orthoganality to the data streams so a sensor fusion...

    Yeah watched a bunch of the video. No real substance, just hand waving about redundant systems and that "multiple models" gives better accuracy than one. Yeah get back to me when he addresses why all the best language translation, voice to text, image generation, NLP, and even time series...

    Now that is a really stupid take. Ask anyone in any field in which deep learning has been applied to a raw data stream. The accuracy of the deep learning models are superior given enough data and compute. Restricting models to including only a portion to DL methods are only superior when you...

    If Ford announced total stoppage of EV plans, the stock would probably go to $20 If Tesla announced total stoppage of EV plans, the stock would also go to $20.

    Tesla could absolutely see an excess of 5 Billion in profits from the Bot per year. You are right that as competition comes, there will be price and margin compression. This is simply 1 example of many, many tasks that could be automated. But each year that goes by, the capabilities of the Bot...

    The Bot Will Drive Future Valuation of Tesla I've been pondering over this for a few months. We all likely came to Tesla years ago to route for the acceleration of a path to a sustainble energy future via electrified vehicles and energy products. That path is well on it's way now. We then...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    In theory it would seem to be the case, learning to predict video of future (or randomly masked) time intervals from a training set could learned a really compressed representation of many aspects of driving on roads. However I'm not sure Tesla is going to focus on this. Look at these tweets...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    It's semantics, the training of either approach is the same. You still have backprop through the modules. It's just each piece has been pre-trained. That's not a bad thing, it assuredly allows your total model to converge to decent results more rapidly. And it can still allow the perception...

    Based on the claim it can charge up to 136 miles in 15 minutes at 250 kW, I am calculating: 460 Wh / mile (414) or 2.176 miles / kWH efficiency (2.4) Based on this, the 340 mile range Cybertruck has a ~ 156 kWh (140) battery pack. The 250 range, presumably LFP, would require a 115 kWh (103)...

    Wow I can't believe there is a conspiracy that V12 isn't really end to end! I work in machine learning / deep learning, and having following all of Tesla's comments on V12, there isn't nor ever was a question in my mind they were talking about going from pixels into to steering commands out...

    The Cybertruck is like my long blonde hair. Sure, many people in the midwest are afraid of something different. But it's one of a kind among a sea of same-ol' same-ol'. And enough people are intrigued that it will capture a large percentage of the people who are willing to think...

    My opinion is that each update is more or less required to pass the same unit test cases. When you have major architectural changes (like going from V10 to V11) there can be regressions on those test cases even if the overall performance is better. So even if V11 was showing less disengagements...
