Probably little or none because no app can get rid of the other issues (live near each other, work near each other, people compatibility).Also, I wonder how much a good app could reduce traffic by incentivising ride sharing.

You wouldn't want to see the truck traffic if all the grain was shipped via truck rather than rail (I'd also say coal, but perhaps we'll get rid of that someday). Every Interstate would have to be six lanes minimum.What I'm worried about - throw in hefty subsidization (roads) compared to trains, and we might even succeed in putting our big train networks out of business (oops).
I couldn't find an exact comparison but did some back of the napkin math a while back. I wound up estimating that Rail Freight is 5.1 cents per ton/mile, current trucking is 15.6 cents per ton mile, and an FSD EV truck might be in the 8.6 cents per ton mile.
So still not there (I did not factor platooning, just FSD electric) price wise but a 24-48 hour transit time vs 2 weeks.
Elon Musk asserted that Tesla semis in platoons would move goods cheaper than rail:

Apparently some increases to the German EV incentive planned. Not very clear on the details though, has anyone read more?
"According to the document, due to be discussed at a meeting of high-level government and car-company officials on Monday evening, grants for plug-in hybrids will rise from 3,000 to 4,500 euros. For vehicles priced over 40,000 euros the grants will rise to 5,000 euros."

Hit the nail onthe head.Having read coverage of Tesla for so many years, I think the far greater conspiracy theory would be to assert that the laws of probability have conspired to have CNBC, The NYT, WSJ, AP, Reuters, NPR, the LA Times, etc., etc. all together error thousands of times towards unflattering misunderstanding of facts and events in regards to Tesla for every time they error towards a flattering misunderstanding of the same. Thousands to one.
Negativity bias in the media (negative just sells better)?
How is it that virtually any suggestion of a new drivetrain technology from virtually any automaker not named Tesla, from startups to global incumbents, is highlighted as a glowing possibility for the future, while for Tesla such statements about where their tech is going is doubted, scoffed at, or referred to as "shiny object dangling" diversion from the laundry list of ongoing Tesla disasters then recited in such articles.
I find it nearly impossible that there isn't rampant intellectual dishonesty in the programming pumped out about Tesla.
PS our mainstream press is a for profit business. They have taken no oaths towards some kind of journalistic code of ethics, they have no oversight, and they drift further and further towards pay-to-play programming for hire. They are selling programming, just like McDonalds is selling fast food... what makes them money, that's what they sell. At this point, I think there's barely much more interest in informing the public about our world at these programming outlets, than there is interest in McDonalds about educating the public about health and nutrition. Of course, I'm sure both air emotionally evocative promos that this is exactly what they are about.
Sharyl Attkisson left a 20 year career at CBS Network News, having won Emmys, and an Edward R Murrow Award for investigative reporting over this very issue... pay-to-play taking over what airs, and what does not. Don't hold your breath for any mainstream media outlets to report on this phenomena.
I can answer that one. I didn't buy the dip.All the FSD and rail posts are important I'm sure but why is TSLA up $8+ today?
All the FSD and rail posts are important I'm sure but why is TSLA up $8+ today? I see lots of negative FUD.
Are you saying that Jonas is Buy-curious?Adam Jonas is likely buttoning up his latest research report. Tesla - strategically bullish, fundamentally curious.
a speculative stock like Tesla.
I could have saved a lot of time if you said this on page 1.Price action is hard to explain. Tesla ‘battery fire hazard’ all over the news, JPM reaffirming its sell rating. Yet, here we are almost 2% up. Maybe I should simply give up looking for logic in the stock market.
Not complaining though
