Wait, don't forget me!
Humans have an accident every 10,000 miles? I think it is way lower than that or people would average more than one accident a year. I know I am well below one per 200,000 miles.Technically feasible
Unfortunately since Tesla won't publish the disengagement rates, we need to go by what is available through personal logging of many of us. I want to see improvement in this crowd sourced dashboard, if not my personal log.

Humans are at about 10,000 miles per accident (similar rate by Waymo). So, we have ways to go .... moreover the rate of improvement is definitely nothing like exponential.
One last thing - we have expected / hoped for accelerated improvement multiple times over the last few years. Even though industry experts have always argued for slow and steady improvement (infact many argue each "9" is more difficult to achieve than the previous one).
For the life of me I don't understand why Toyota hasn't come with a BEV Prius! That would be the quickest and easiest way to enter the EV world, plus hopefully the wheels wouldn't fall off. The Prius is a well respected car and it's progressed over the years to a plugin version. I wouldn't think it would take all that much to convert it to a BEV... take out the engine and put in more batteries.
No, it’s Elon acting a FOOL + Macro. Dow is up, guessing macros rally into CPI read but Tesla will probably miss out on that rally
Agree on the supercharger moat being filled in but I think Electtify America is a good indication that that will take longer than 2 years. Even though there are many stalls out there now they are mostly unreliable or way lower output than advertised. Quantity won’t fill in the moat, quality will. And I think the combination of quality and quantity for charging is years away yet.
This is why I don’t get excited over moves like that.
More like reversing what happened Friday.
Naw, I've read too many issues of 'Skeptical Inquirer' that Mom had lying around over the years to not see where you're coming from. I consider your posts " highly informative" which puts you among the elite hereWait, don't forget me!
The root of the matter is simply that medical experiments can be performed until the desired outcome is achieved while other negative results are buried under NDA. My sister did her Master's Thesis on the view of science by the public - all fact based and later went on to her PhD. Couple that with a Father that did mega vitamins in the 60 and rebuilt his retinal nerve damage to the point of being able to drive a car. So I had a bias at birth, but then everything else made sense ever since, especially after he got the threat letter from the AMA.
When I see the FUD and corruption here on EVs, it's quite easy to draw a straight line. Medicine is a thriving business and it should not be - at all. Do question the motives, it's your health. Some medicine is good no doubt, but I also know 3/4 people who died from Chemo which kills White Blood Cells that serve to fight off the condition itself. We don't have all the facts on any of this, unless you were either in the study or in the system.
Here's an example. Would you believe me if I said that every time I flip a penny it comes up heads? It would seem true if I only showed you the times that it did. That's Medical Science, and it's as bad as Big Oil in that way.
Where did you get the 75 figure from?We are buyers again at 75. Hope it doesn’t get there.
Real world use will be used. Huge differences. I don't know if anything/payments will be backdated either for manufacturers or consumers (and therefore might result in legal action against manufacturers).
That figure is where he 'hopes' it will get to so he/she can purchase more. Typical "I used to be a bull but now Elon has tarnished the brand, i am still a buyer, but only if it hits $75" type of person.
My couches are empty, my bank accounts are depleted, my kids are now not able to go to college, my McD's app specials seem pricey now, but i will not go into margin!!!!
