Yup.
Since it's a long weekend I'll indulge. The change in door sill height did not transform the Roadster from a tiny niche targeted 2 seat sports car with new technology that few would buy into something else. Many would say it is still difficult to get in and out of and hardly a practical vehicle for most people. There was plenty of publicity at the time saying that exact thing.
I have not heard much about that from musk lately, seems to me like he has moved on to the next latest thing...
I put a disagree here, not because the Thwaites risk is not real, but because the risk is not imminent hence Curt's western Florida solar-powered project will probably long outlast his presently young life.
Once the Thwaites ice shelf collapses there still will not be catastrophic sea rise since the present melting is under the ice shelf. The catastrophe follows the shelf collapse over time as the land borne ice rapidly moves to the sea, so the dual effects of new fresh water in the Antarctic ocean and rise of ground level in Antartica do definitely produce catastrophe worldwide, with this handy mapping device showing the consequences:
It is worthwhile to note that the consequences of such and event would decimate most of the world's most consequential cities. from New York, Washington and Miami to Shanghai, London, the Netherlands, Bangladesh, Kolkata and so much more.
All the TSLA considerations disappear, as does the planet as humans have known it.
'Doomsday' is obviously not alliterative. The real questions are: one, is there anything that can be done to stop that; two, what about Greenland?; three, what about the arctic regions and permafrost melting?; four; how can mankind stop destruction and simultaneously resuscitate the health of our planet?
On a pessimistic day I am convinced Elon Musk may well be the only really influential person who understands we are destroying our planet. Thus on slight less pessimistic days I HODL TSLA and and some others. Surely those will endure well beyond my lifetime. I rather doubt my nephews and nieces will live so well, if they survive. My spouse and I are the only ones who live in edifices above that zone of rise, and our second home is well below the future water level.
Of course all this will not effect any material change in human behavior until the catastrophe strikes.
Not nearly enough credit to the tens of thousands of scientists that accumulate data and create the models and work on the underlying science- tedious mind numbing science. Elon added urgency to Tesla but he was not acting in a vacuum. Even that handy model you link to has lifetimes of research behind it.I put a disagree here, not because the Thwaites risk is not real, but because the risk is not imminent hence Curt's western Florida solar-powered project will probably long outlast his presently young life.

These several major deals all seem conveniently timed for Investor Day, which, with its expanded scope, seems quite likely to show how far TSLA is advancing to match the 1910-1920 era Ford. The difference is that Ford emphasized production efficiency to the near-exclusion of product refinement while Tesla is simultaneously advancing product, 'fueling', production technology and distribution.
Agree on the Q1 2023 Pod target, but I don't recall the step change comment, when was that stated?

Which begs the question “is it safe for Tesla to beta test fsd on the highways”This Teslarati article focuses upon a known flaw in the human system. Essentially, "familiarity breeds contempt" is a very real issue. Here, IIHS comments upon the problem of this tendency of people to become complacent when using automated driving aids.
You really cannot depend upon many/most drivers to exercise the level of vigilance needed as the march of 9s strives to reach a functional full autonomy.
Tesla’s FSD Beta recall gets response from IIHS President
Harkey noted that drivers of partially automated cars have shown a tendency to treat their cars like they are fully autonomous.
BI in the last few days has come out with a few anti-Elon, Pro-Eberhard hit pieces. If they run out material they dig from their archives and recycle this crap.Former Tesla CEO shares his thoughts on the company
Ousted Tesla cofounder Martin Eberhard sounds off on Elon Musk, how the company has changed, and the EV wars
While Elon Musk is sometimes referred to as the founder of Tesla, Martin Eberhard cofounded Tesla in 2003 with his friend Marc Tarpenning.www.businessinsider.com
Which is why day trading and trading in short term options is often considered gambling.
I concur. The cabin camera works very well.
Where do you suggest they beta test FSD then? And by whom? If not in the real world by regular people.
