That's the sharpest looking Ford Focus I've ever seen! It's kind of reminiscent of a Tesla Model S!
If I didn't know better, I would say that Bill Gates drives a Tesla!

You know Nvidia exploded because people were pricing in robotaxis using their chip because the CEO said so. Then it fizzled out as it's unlikely to happen. But there are still a good portion priced Nvidia with the slight chance that it may. This is what I mean by robotaxi priced in. Elon had some slides, people were skeptical..but hey throw in some bones just incase.
You keep trying to argue that this accident is going to help define the trading Monday morning. How about we watch what happens and then we can analyze it. Because I don't think a single Tesla crash is a net negative. If anything, the fact that he rear-ended a State Trooper parked on the Interstate and didn't cause a single injury is a testament to the crash safety of a Tesla. Did you see the rear end of the trooper's car? It was totaled. And it happened in the wee morning hours of a Saturday. Chances are he had been drinking excessively and just used the Auto-Pilot as an excuse so they wouldn't suspect impaired driving. I mean, how else do you miss a flare in the roadway and flashing lights on the parked trooper's car? Not by "checking" on your dog in the back seat!
Short term we always see exaggerated drops from stupid news.
Hey I would be ecstatic if AP crashes doesn't affect SP anymore.
The problem is legacy auto company lobbyists with the UAW's help are trying to stop FSD. Democrats are leading the charge against Tesla despite Uber and Lyft's problems with sexual assaults, not to mention this whole climate change thing going on right now enemies are at the gates, and Musk needs to "lobby" really hard if you know what I meanNo I don't get it. You do realize that Tesla has this type of valuation with a portion of it priced in for some kind of FSD by year end or early next year right?. AP crashing into police cars shake the confidence of people who are betting on features complete coming soon.
It doesn't matter if the guy used AP or not. Headlines will be created as such because he said so.
Musk winning the trial and news about M3 getting the green light in China did NOTHing to the stock Friday. So I don't know how you are expecting short covering on Monday when CNBC and Reuters will be blasting AP crashing headlines.
Again, we are just arguing about Monday price action, not long term Tesla.
I'm sure it just took a while to get the signature...Don't count your chickens just yet. My Signature X sat in my delivery center for over a month before they finally let me take delivery.
There were three competent, experienced pilots in the AF 447 cockpit, and all of them were trying to avoid the stall as any pilot would, but a nasty software bug tricked all of them into causing a stall until it was too late:
Air France Flight 447 - Wikipedia
"this led to a perverse reversal that lasted nearly to the impact: each time Bonin happened to lower the nose, rendering the angle of attack marginally less severe, the stall warning sounded again—a negative reinforcement that may have locked him into his pattern of pitching up", which increased the angle of attack and thus prevented the aircraft from getting out of its stall"
This "Pull up! Pull up!" loud human voice warning is what convinced them to maintain the stall:
That aggressive "pull up!" warning sounded every time they were pitching down.
Just try out how good of an AF 447 pilot you'd make: play the above recording, turn up the volume, listen to that voice, imagine you are in pitch black dark conditions, falling into a bad thunderstorm with dangerous downdrafts, you are responsible for 228 lives, you are in the middle of the ocean where even an emergency landing is probably not survivable, you have conflicting computer screen output and very low air speed readings and fast dropping altitude, other human voices nearby trying to help you, and try to ignore the "pull up!" human voice command!
Even with the benefit of perfect hindsight it's hard, and they were the first ones to run into this particular stall scenario...
I've been following Bill Gates on twitter for years, he is one of the first people I added when I first decided to use it, along with James Cameron and some others LOL.
Bill has sounded very noble with his humanitarian efforts and interest in renewable energy and stuff. But when it comes to Tesla, he has been very quiet. In fact I can't remember him ever tweeting about Tesla or even re-tweeting someone else's comments about Tesla. It's as if he wants to ignore they exist. Then when he starts tweeting about these other forms of renewable energy, without even mentioning the 800lb Gorilla in the room - solar+battery (and by implication, the leading player in that space, TESLA) - something has made me wonder what his motives are. I hasten to jump to a simple-minded conclusion that it's simple vanity - preventing another successful billionaire trying to save the planet from getting the spotlight. I tend to think it's something else, perhaps rooted in Bill's investments.
You are probably confusing BG with Balmer. Balmer's father used to work in Ford and he is still loyal to Ford. Ofcourse he has other cars too (he bought an early Leaf, for eg.).Bill Gates still drives an old Ford Focus(?) when he retires, he doesn't care about cars all that much
It was renamed Tesla v Benson with the last elections (secretary of state was Johnson). Exhibits are pay walled.

Just down the road from me. Humm...

That value is not really "FSD value", it's the value of AutoPilot the Level 3 driver assistance feature that is tied to car sales and improves margins from 20% to maybe 24%.
Then you were doing it horribly wrong.I used MS up till 1991 when I got tired of restoring from tape every other day. Went to Unix, haven't looked back.
New thread:In the Twitter app you can also report tweets directly, by tapping on the small corner widget next to the tweet.
You can also select multiple tweets to report, and you'll get notifications about the review process.
Two abusive users got banned in the last two days that I (and probably others) reported this way.
Important: if you want to report TSLAQ abusers too, then you need to visit the TSLAQ block list owner and block him:
This way he cannot put you on the TSLAQ block list and won't be able to hide their abuses from you.
What? We don't even know that the car was on AutoPilot. All we know is the driver who crashed in the wee morning hours of a Saturday told the trooper he rear-ended him because the car was on AutoPilot. That driver was lucky he was only charged with reckless driving and reckless endangerment. People lie to troopers all the time when they are in a serious situation.
