To those who imagine I see Tesla as 'just a car company':
You have never read my posts.
Since early years I have seen Tesla as an energy company primarily because of JB Straubel vision and Elon Musk being into that vision;
Since 2012 I have viewed Tesla as a design company, primarily because of the brilliant Model S which would never have happened without major bets on visionary approaches;
Since 2015 and the first Ludicrous I considered Tesl a a materials company because, in part,of the inconel fuse;
Then came Shanghai GF, which proved without question that Tesla was a manufacturing marvel;
The Hornsdale Power Reserve proved that Tesla could integrate multiple power sources, grid services and, shortly after, residential power grid integration. Soon Tesla was, and still is, a licensed power provider in many jurisdictions. Clearly, Tesla is a power utility.
In regard to FSD, those who ignore my pints also ignore fundamental facts regarding systems development and AI in particular. Nobody cared o ask my qualifications for these judgements, so I'll not waste time by stating them. Some here know them anyway. Any major new technology requires an undertrminable time to perfect. That was true in ancient human programmed days. Now, training neural networks exacerbates that problem. The 'march of nnes' growing increasingly difficult as the alter stages begin. In the case of FSD, as in aircraft systems, an abject failure is one that fails once in 100,000 trials. (I am reminded of designing aircraft doors and aircraft Autoland, FSD is very much like those.),
Any of you who are foolish enough to disregard all that in context of only a single AI related point may never understand Tesla. Those who assume Robotaxi is coming quickly simply do not understand risk analysis and the risk of a single failure). FWIW, all this is why actuaries invariably measure "loss severity" more stringently when "loss frequency" drops. That by the way, is a very superficial description.
Tesla will not successfully have autonomous FSD risk accepted without major proof of huge decline in loss frequency coupled with commensurate decline in loss severity, for both human and property. Those principles MUST be understood in order to even imagine commercial deployment of Robotaxi, apart from highly circumscribed tests.
Just because I am not now a Tesla shareholders does not mean I won't be when conditions improve. It also does not alter my continual effort to better understand Tesla. It also does not mean that I will stop trying my best to help people understand the importance of complex and arcane subjects that are not part of general vocabulary nor education.
