You stated that it wouldn't happen for 10+ years. I was stating that it may take 10+ years to complete, but it will start to happen immediately and will be a gradual transition.You say you disagree, but then agree?

As an intermediate step to robotaxi, isn't there a world where driver assist technology with a certaion level of functionality gets mandated as required safety functionality for every car the same way seatbelts and airtbags are?
You are assigning blame to WS. WS is not taking advantage of EM. EM made a deal, he's made lots of deals. The deal had conditions. WTF was he thinking I will never know, I assume he wasn't. This is why you have COUNSEL, he has none...on purpose. CT, keeping 4680 staff at 100 (WTF), and Twatter. Current issue is all on EM. X is hiring like crazy because they are rebuilding the same structure that existed before EM took control. So yeah, he bought a functioning un profitable company for far too much. F'd it up so it was no longer functional in the view of the ad folks, killed value and revenues, and now is having to rebuild it all and hope ad folks return.
There are two, ya know, actual wars going on right now.
A bit tone deaf to keep seeing this "wartime CEO" mumbo jumbo pop up.
A little perspective is needed by some.
I doubt it will be a big difference in the rate of carpooling. However I have personally used Uber Pool many times to save money. Uber doesn’t offer that option anymore but the attraction was that the fares were lower. Some customers would be price sensitive.Agree with all except for the carpooling/ride sharing. These only work if 1) The people who carpool/rideshare live very close to each other or live along the route taken, and 2) their work hours never ever vary, not even once (they always start and end at exactly the same time each and every work day).
It would never be complete in the US. People will always own cars.You stated that it wouldn't happen for 10+ years. I was stating that it may take 10+ years to complete, but it will start to happen immediately and will be a gradual transition.
What is the "napkin sketch" USD 4000 scenario, if you have one?
No downside risk, Max flex.
Why the Market gets the Robotaxi - Compact Car story Totally Wrong
While most people think Tesla has chosen between Robotaxi and Compact Car, the reality is that Tesla is making one model that is technically so similar it is technically both. Adding controls is a quick fix you can do anytime without a huge time effort.
Tesla will have one production line for both cars with the unboxed process and from the outside, you won't see any difference at all. In fact, the test production line already exists. There is no delay of the compact car at all, it is coming.
Elon uses a smart risk-avoiding strategy because if FSD takes for whatever reason longer, Tesla can sell the car as a compact car, and if FSD goes as predicted fast, it's a no-brainer to use it as such because of the expected 5 times higher margin and incredible profit.
Vehicles that are sold as compact cars can be any time later reused as full-blown Robotaxis and Tesla may even only lease them to have enough vehicles coming back if needed.
There is no bet or gamble but an awesome strategy. $tsla

If RT is announced with a different sensor suite than all other Teslas, more cameras or Lidar, etc. I think we'd see some panic on 8/8.

Another reason which is not helping sales is that Tesla can’t sell directly to customers in many states.
We seem to have accepted this but many people still have the buying from a physical location mindset.
I’ve seen it done several ways. Had it happen personally once, just like this one. Worked for a medium sized cloud company sold to Private Equity. Those who were not slated to be retained ( in my case, no interest in gov business), were notified and removed from system access the same day. My case - a phone call during my commute; FSD would have been helpful. I have worked for other companies that do it through packages and affected employees leave at a future date and usually with a severance package. Personally, I prefer the second approach.
And the market is forward looking so price will reflect it sooner much sooner than 10 years if it takes that long.You stated that it wouldn't happen for 10+ years. I was stating that it may take 10+ years to complete, but it will start to happen immediately and will be a gradual transition.
Speaking of simple math, have you figured out yet that Tesla's gross profits have actually decreased?
Q - does this mean we can unleash the Ron Swanson memes on this forum
We already see panic and its only 4/17If RT is announced with a different sensor suite than all other Teslas, more cameras or Lidar, etc. I think we'd see some panic on 8/8.
I bought shares at open, so that's probably why it's downFair.
MOAR PANIC
Hmmm, so it's almost exactly like I said it was the past two days? And not your usual "fat trimming?"
Carry on.
