Lots of new information in this hearing beyond just the approval vote. Concerns earlier today about Mayor Goodman opposition or FUD did not materialize and she ended up voting in favor. The Mayor led the meeting and was entirely reasonable in my opinion. She was very positive on the presentation and the project.Looks like we’ll be seeing more tunnels under Vegas. It’ll be nice to be able to take a shuttle from the airport to my hotel with no traffic.
They need to extend this out to Henderson so I walk to it from my uncle’s place.
Bootleg Canyon and Hoover Dam would be nice stops too.
maybe that's the mining operations that Elon had alluded to. Tesla could invest in TBC and vertically integrate it along with some refining.
This just shows they know the reality for oil. A smart CEO does not invest in a dying product that will be innovated out of existence. Their job is to maximize future cash flows which means little to no investment.Exactly this. Some examples from CEOs in the industry-
Devon Energy Q3 2021 Earnings Call
"We will continue to prioritize free cash flow generation over the pursuit of
volume growth. We have no intention of adding incremental barrels into the
market..."
Occidental Petroleum CEO Vicki Hollub
"We have no need and no intent to invest in production growth. Investing for
the sake of growth is not what investors want."
Pioneer natural Resources CEO Scott Sheffield
"I'll tell him [President Biden] we have a pact with our shareholders. it's all
about the shareholders, our shareholders own this company. They want a return
of cash."
The only thing MOAR OIL PRODUCTION gets them going forward is higher costs finding and extracting it, and lower prices while they sell it. They're perfectly happy to keep supply constrained and gouge for as long as possible.
Haha well, that last 30 mins of trading changed things dramatically from when I posted that. Quite the divergence there in those 30 mins
I’m about a week or two late already!!With respect, no there wasn't.
If you predict disaster every single day, sooner or later you will be right. Similarly, I am confident that @henchman24's confident predictions of a big rally will be absolutely right... just not when he predicted it.
With all due respect yes there was.With respect, no there wasn't.

Sorry, I'm booked solid with whining about short term issues and comparing forward P/Es until mid September.
These guys are all temporarily aligned because it's super easy to do and the payoff is huge. Once the Nov elections are over these whores will turn on each other again.This just shows they know the reality for oil.

This gave me an idea I'll explore in the engineering thread.
We bought the Y because it has enough room to sleep in the back when we go camping. Now this is an excellent idea for a few days a year when it’s hot enough on the PNW!Easy, turn off your house AC, go sit in your Tesla, turn on camp mode, and watch Netflix or read a book.
Edit: be sure to unplug charge cable first!
I agree with many of your observations. I thought similar thoughts, but then wondered if Tesla has chosen to not prioritize smoothness for turns, acceleration, deceleration, etc. until it drives correctly. Get the fundamental actions first, then they can iterate/tweak like crazy to minimize lateral acceleration or jerky steering wheel motions, etc. Not saying they're not doing some of this, but I'm thinking it's a lower priority at this stage of beta?So I just got FSD beta and I have to say that I'm not all that impressed. I do think the problems I experienced can be solved - but I believe at least some of these problems have been around a while in some shape or form. I'd really be curious to know why they haven't been fixed yet. My comments after a handful of short test drives in the city.
The visualization effects that come with FSD beta are phenomenal - this style of graphics definitely needs to be included in standard builds. If nothing else, it's a FSD marketing tool.
- Steering needs to chill out. I had multiple instances where the car decided it needed to change direction NOW. Not smooth or confidence inspiring. Lightly holding the wheel it nearly caused me to lose grip it started spinning so fast once. You definitely get knocked around a bit.
- Lane choices and choice of position on road are weird at best: Normally you expect the car to pull into the bike lane when making a right turn. In traffic if it doesn't pull into the bike line, you want to take over to avoid impeding traffic. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. When it does, see #1. Had an instance where it chose the left of two turn lanes when an immediate right 100 meters down the road needed to be taken. At other times, it's cut left-corners at too high a speed in a residential neighborhood without lane markings - most people slow down and take the corner wider to avoid possible oncoming traffic.
- Accelerator - There needs to be some better choices made in terms of how closely to follow speed limits - on residential roads, it should reduce max speed and accelerate more gently. It seems to be a bit too cautious coming to a stop at stop signs, then very slow to resume moving. When it decides to go, though - hang on tight!
Honestly, I feel like just adding some damping on directional changes (steering, acceleration and braking) would go a long ways towards giving passengers more confidence on what the car is doing or going to do. As it is now, it is highly unpredictable and it does not induce trust that the car is going to do the right thing.
So having "tried Tesla FSD" - I am highly skeptical it will be ready in a year given the pace of progress. Most of these issues have been around a while based on experiences with EAP and early FSD beta feedback. Maybe Tesla has opted to focus on other areas of the stack and decided that these are minor issues to be resolved later. Hard to say, really, but I can honestly say that now having finally tried Tesla FSD I believe Chollet's timeframe more than Elon's...
I can think of several, but Chicago really sticks out, especially going to O'Hare... 5 lanes and 90 miles an hour to get there can be a bitch, not to mention parking once you get there.Once this is real in 2023, every municipality is going to want it

Damn... maybe after they do some gambling in Vegas they'll change their minds!Already tried, and subsequently rejected by Chicago city gov't: (4 yrs ago)
