He is already out for 4 months …. As I wrote earlier, Tesla will have a replacement before he comes back (if they don’t already).
People always think Tesla can’t replace senior leaders. SP even used to go down when senior leaders left. No longer.
Tesla is a very high pressure environment with zero work-life balance. Hats off to anyone who works there for a long time. My investment account thanks them.

Hmmm... 36 Hz for each frame. That's 27 milliseconds per frame.
As a possibly interesting side note from the gaming world- there are zero competitive gamers that would consider a 36Hz frame rate to be playable and acceptable. Anyone playing at 36Hz is considered to be a duck shoot and cannot possibly be competitive, no matter how good the player.
Now fps is not reaction time- and we have no idea how long the computer needs to 'think' about each frame. A very fast twitch game player has a reaction time of roughly 100 milliseconds. So they could conceivably use 3 frames of data to decide, and still be a fast reaction driver.
In the software world, no one is non-replaceable. I'm nearing the end of my career in the software world, and observed many of these examples.
I've had privilege to work with real genius people, and when they leave, you scramble, but somehow, you move on with (surprisingly) minimum impact.
This has happened time after time. I'm sure Tesla will do it too.

I’m ready to see what a new CEO can do for Tesla because frankly I think a lot of people are done with Elon’s BS.
I don’t care about the stock price, I care about how they handle customers, and right now Elon doesn’t give a *sugar* about customers. This thread and many posts in it make that evident haha.

Also bullets are a little faster than cars, let alone pedestrians.... bullets typically have muzzle velocities in the 800-1800 mph range.

I used to think similarly, but I'm not so sure about that anymore. I don't watch him like a hawk as some people do, but as time goes on he seems to get stranger and more distracted from any/all of his core businesses. Don't get me wrong, he's brilliant, a media magnet and I believe he truly has good intentions, but between the Putin stuff, covid, the world hunger spat, Twitter, etc...dude, just stop lol. He's got it in people's minds that he's the only one that can steer the ship, but there are other well-meaning people in this world that could likely focus Tesla better than Elon if he were to leave. I also don't believe he's as involved in the day-to-day inner workings of FSD as some might think. Testing and offering high-level guidance, sure, but the man certainly isn't one of the worker bees that's getting in the weeds of the code every day. Heck, between all his various companies (and daily rando tweets), I can't imagine how he finds the time to even provide high-level guidance for everything he's involved in.
Just my two cents (likely worth less than two cents

He hasn't changed.
The topics have changed.
It’s not about what he does for Tesla on a daily basis, it’s having his conviction and highly specific vision at the top of the company that’s valuable. Having thousands of employees working in the same direction is how amazing things happen, even if that direction is wrong sometimes.I used to think similarly, but I'm not so sure about that anymore.

Tesla is HUGE but they are still nimble like a startup because their CEO has the power, knowledge and desire to change direction when necessary.
Most companies have a board of people with their own self interests and it’s impossible to make decisions quickly and they never do anything risky or difficult. They have a CEO puppet that’s more worried about stock price than innovation. I can guarantee you Elon’s passion and genius is far superior to any other CEO of a large corporation in the world.
Just look at the man’s track record: PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, etc. Compare that the track records of every other CEO in the world. It’s not even close. I want Elon running Tesla as long as he’s interested in being there.
They will turn it onto another boring car company shipping bland look-alike cars, which will eventually we swallowed by another car company.
The biggest drawback of this site is they won't allow betting pools.
Betting pools would be so much fun.
Why vote with a thumbs up or down when you can simply place your bets.
I wouldn't even mind a charity thing where all the money went to charity no matter who won.
Isn't that what Tesla already is?

Elon is obsessed with the idea of the machine that makes the machine so I don't expect Tesla to ever be a car company of exciting options unless they're high cost like the Roadster 2.0

A guy who registered here 6 months back is "done with Elon".
Give me the name of ONE CEO who would have done what Elon has done with Tesla & SpaceX.
First successful US auto company in 80 years - and first space company ever.
I think that the crux of the issue.
I don't mind Elon remaining with Tesla in some capacity, but he's far too busy and not interested in day to day stuff.
Tesla needs someone else in charge who can address the day to day stuff, and the increasing amount of bugs/issues. Someone that can help fix the custom support issue they have.
Karpathy not being there might actually improve FSD. No offence to his intelligence but sometimes another brain can do better than what you thought was the best till that timeI guess right after this headline ... ?
Elon Musk promises widespread rollout of Tesla FSD beta this year
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Thursday night the company plans to roll out this year its "full self-driving" beta software to all customers in North America who have plunked down as much as $12,000 for the controversial version of its driver assistance system. The chief executive made the...www.yahoo.com
I think way too much is being made of Karpathy being on sabbatical.
Part of this has to do with the obsession over AI, and I think we overestimate the degree AI plays in FSD beta. Sure it plays a role, but there are so many other components of it. A lot of these other components need some serious help.
I don't see Karpathy being gone as having any impact on FSD beta. In fact what you said very well might be true, but because Karpathy comes back fresh with new ideas.
Heck if I had his role I might have people work on ideas that I think up while I'm still on sabbatical.
