Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable
- Thread starter AudubonB
- Start date
I use VoicdOver functionality in my iPhone. It works really well. I think Android has the same feature too.
This reminds me 1 week ago I was going to the store to pick up something at UPs. It was a 6:55 PM at the end of the local news on the National Radio chain station Radio Canada. The reporter starts talking about technology, electric cars and does a general introduction and after 30 seconds they start talking about autonomous cars. I’m telling myself, oh interesting, a national radio station talking about the technology, I’m eager to hear what they have to say.
Then for 4 minutes I hear the reporter starting to talk about Tesla which have an autonomous feature that only holds the lane and does lane change but it doesn’t stop at lights and d9 stops but in a distant future it might but it is far from being ready and that autonomous cars are fa from happening as per the limitation of Tesla autopilot.
I was getting so frustrated listening to what she was saying. She obviously never got into a Tesla with FSD. She was confounding Autopilot with FSD. Had clearly never seen a video of the 2 software technologies and she was throwing all misinformed crap that she was reading in a 5 minutes spot after the evening news. The RadioCanada is a channel running financed with our taxes and I could not stand my taxes were used to pay someone spreading uninformed lies out loud.
Mainstream media loss all my interest and now I connect my phone as soon as I enter my car and listen to Dave Lee podcasts, Tesla Daily, Tom Nash or any video on investing or options.
People watching TV and listening to radio are constantly exposed to paid plies and have forced into their brains daily till they become clueless.
Tesla should invite whoever does the best Biden impersonation from the SNL cast. Have him repeat everything, down to the forehead scratch, except replacing "Mary" with "Elon", UAW with Tesla workers, etc.
Haha! Problem: That best actor might be Elon ...
On an iPhone it can speak any selection. Turn the text blue and look for the word “speak” in the context sensitive menu.

Windows 10 has had text to speech (narrator) for a long time

How to Use the Narrator in Windows to Read Your Screen Aloud
Narrator is a screen reader and text-to-speak tool that allows you to hear text and screen elements read aloud. Here's how to use this accessibility feature in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
That would be epic if Elon did it.Haha! Problem: That best actor might be Elon ...
I am truly waiting on Elon to give us an update on whatever happened to the Snake, the self-plugging Tesla charger prototype. That thing is crucial for robotaxi and in the case you mentioned, self-delivery that's beyond the range of a single charge.
I think ICE cars, at least for the vast many Teslanaires here is going to be a nostalgia item. One of the items on my "When TSLA hit xxxx" to-buy list is actually a V12 Ferrari of some kind... it's gotta be naturally aspirated with no turbo or anything whatsoever... and yes.. a V12.
But of course, there's another car before that... the Tesla Roadster, which was the item for when TSLA hits $2500.

Naah, Teslabot will do it instead, plus unlike the snake it can clean the car out from passengers leaving crap in it, hose out the puke from drunk riders, etc...
The one positive about Tesla being ignored is that it will look a lot better when they take literally almost all of the EV credits. “What you mean that EV credit that was a handout for the leader in EVs GM? The President and Democrats did not even mention Tesla, how is that a houndout and favortism to Tesla.” I’m actually good with it now.

Really? Because it's so difficult to use a 300 HP SUV as a deadly weapon? And because requiring training and a concealed carry permit prevents firearms from being used as weapons? Should we require certification to carry a pocket knife too?
On the horsepower certification, where would you draw the line? Would it only be for fast EV's or would an ICE Corvette qualify? How about a RWD Model 3? Or a Cadillac Escalade with 420 HP and carrying four tons that's slower than a RWD Model 3? How about a flexy-framed 15 year old Subaru with 105 hp and worn out shocks and tires nearing the wear limit?
I don't understand this kind of thinking.

I remember the outcry when the Lotus Carlton was launched in UK, a large sedan that can do 170mph! The world nearly ended..
