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

My thinking - but granted I am definitely not an expert on this - is that expensive parking in city centers could disappear altogether.
In my city, Stockholm, it is very expensive to park in the middle of the city but already a ten minute drive would take you to areas where parking is much cheaper. So if you accept to wait for your ride 10 mins, there would be no need to have any city garages anymore. I also figured that a fleet of Robotaxis should be able to optimise their use in a way that enough of them could circle around to cover the expected city ride needs at any given point, whereas the rest could be safely parked outside the most dense areas.
But people more knowledgeable on this than me are welcome to correct my reasoning. If indeed correct, it would be very nice not have so many parked cars in the city. Again using my city as an example, every meter of every side of the street in the city has a car parked on it and every day there must be hundreds or thousands of kilometers driven just looking for parking spaces in the city.
I love how battery tech and energy is moving forward. https://www.tdk.com/en/news_center/press/20240617_01.html
I'll love this when it's ready for manufacture.
Too many breakthroughs are just "prototype click-bait".
This is why BTW I love Tesla: it's obsessed by scale. Tesla Master Plan 3 was all about terawatt hours. This is when you understand they are serious about climate change.
Well, just because Elon (admittedly) posts some goofy/controversial stuff, doesn't mean the media isn't also manipulating public perception.
Heck it can be as simple as reporting the bad and not reporting the good. That selective reporting can itself be sufficient to manipulate public perception, but I think it's been pretty obvious there's been media slant above and beyond that.
Heck we've seen examples of posts here form Shadowy&Turbulent posters here with an apparent agenda that demonstrate such non-biased selectivity....
It depends on how capable the bots actually are, but demand of 1bn units/year is easily doable.
Just think how many people are doing manual labor all over the world on any given day. They can all be replaced by a bot.
Plus, with a bot being lower in cost per hour than a human, it will make sense to deploy even more of them than we have for those human jobs today. In other words, it makes new work economically feasible. So you need more bots than those who just replace humans.
Man, he brews a nice cup of dark roast though....
I think I'm gonna try order a Dark & Stormy at Starbucks...
How bad would the disinformation be for renewable and electric vehicles if Elon Musk wasn't getting involved and keeping quiet?
The "incumbents" in the auto + oil & gas sector have been killing the electric car for centuries through all sorts of means:
Ford, Edison and the Cheap EV That Almost Was
That Henry Ford and Thomas Edison were good friends late in their lives is well-known. They camped together, presented each other with lavish gifts, even owned homes adjacent to each other. Many Ford enthusiasts also know Ford, when he first drove his Quadricycle on the streets of Detroit in...
Now that climate change is ever present a century and half later, would the incumbents have let EVs and Renewable technology take over their business ecosystem easily even though its what's best for humanity? or would it have let humanity completely fall apart and find another (not maximized for saving lives) alternative that keeps their profits?

The original post is click bait; another "lazy post" requiring us to do the work.
For instance, here is what I want to know. If I were doing this, I would include at least a snippet:

Indeed... and given that Tesla/Elon have become "The Face of Electric Cars", it's easiest to achieve their goals/agenda by targeting him.
No doubt he's made their job easier at times, but there's little doubt the influence behind the scenes has paid for much media slant.
No longer appropriate for use in hunman clinical assessment, I am placated by saying "Darn, this stock is bi-polar".

Looks like some DBE tech got away from Tesla
"The lawsuit said Matthews shared Tesla's innovations with unnamed competitors by selling "machines and other technologies embodying Tesla's trade secrets." It also said Matthews claimed Tesla's inventions as its own in patent filings that have revealed confidential Tesla information."

Going to 200 by Fri? Calls seems to
Meanwhile... same-day sale. Got lucky again.
Edit comments... you ppl are no fun.

If ATs can't identify potholes or manhole covers then it'd suck as much as a taxi driver that doesn't.
It's just another classification problem.
I think you'd want city garages or other parking where some of the ATs can park for hours during off-peak periods.
To me, AV fleet sizes are likely to be driven by the combination of rush-to-rush demand and commuter ride-sharing, leaving a lot of vehicles idle during off-peak periods. Good news for people who need a taxi outside office hours (especially during short peaks) but those vehicles will have to be somewhere.
One benefit of AV, of course, is that they could be parked extremely close together, reducing the amount of require parking space for idle vehicles.
Seems shortsighted to think robotaxis won't have a central garage they can retire to for charging, cleaning and staging. It will need to be a multilevel garage with heavy power access. In addition, I would expect municipalities to waive idle parking charges, within reason, for a fleet operation.
It is logical to presume that at some point, city cores will only be accessible to autonomous fleets and shipping vehicle fleets. This will be wonderful and make inner cities far more livable.

OEMs : Hmmm, we're losing money selling EVs. How about some banner ads on the main display?
The new Powerwall 3 includes the solar inverter now. That would be my guess. I've been paying >$2000 for a decent string inverter lately, so it's actually a good deal for new installations. Of course, having 3 solar inverters probably won't do you much good though, especially if you're adding it to an existing system.
