  1. You did learn something - don't close the glove box while updating software.

  2. As a Tesla shareholder - a highly valuable and detailed look

  3. Robotaxi = software Cybercab = purpose built vehicle

  4. I almost didn't click this video. Boy would that have been a mistake.

  5. I think you failed to understand what a teleoperator is. With television, the actors don't sit in your living room.

  6. If you have seen how my wife drives I would rather trust today's FSD to fetch the kids. Put a mannequin in the front seat or something.

  7. I simply cannot believe it is impossible to know what an Uber charges. We are interested in California and Texas during peak times. Cheapest class of vehicle.

  8. Tesla going to 10x. Are liberal principles really worth that much?

  9. No doubt. But somewhere else in tobacco chewin gun totin America some MagaMan is buying a Cybertruck. And elsewhere a TransWetback is buying a model Y because (s)he simply cares more about value for money than politics. It is hard to call whether it is net up or net down overall. Randy makes a good point about the tribes though.

  10. 150 000 miles is way to low. Mechanically, the car lasts 500 000 with some repairs. You may have to replace seats at 250 000.

  11. He became the richest man on earth doing zero paid marketing or advertising - I would say he is God-level communicator. He does not do it like everyone else.

  12. The car industry and oil industry will go the way of the horse industry and the hay industry. There will still be cars, for billionaires who drive them in circles on their estates.

  13. You can probably just buy a USB steering wheel and pedals and plug them in. /jk

  14. Battery-less solar breaks even for most buyers after 5-7 years. If you are charging an EV with that, it could be 2-3 years. This is on a 20+ year life on solar systems. I think you don't understand the word expensive - maybe you just mean capital intensive - which is what banks are for.

  15. Walmart won't have to fire anyone but those who rely on short term employment at Walmart or anywhere else may be in line for permanent unemployment. Some countries have social nets while others just have a homeless problem. Imagine 35% of the current US workforce living on the streets...

  16. 20% of the US identify as Dem. 50% of Dems are that childish - so 10% of the US. US is 20% of Tesla's Worldwide sales. So 2% of sales are boycotted. Republicans also buy cars. Also, no such thing as bad publicity.

  17. Except a robotaxi will cost 10x less than uber with 100% less BO. I looked into research and roughly 15% of people really either love driving or love their car. The other 85% don't give a continental flying fuck.

  18. Coming next month. Or the month after.

  19. also, Chinese, Europeans, Aussies, Danish - could not care less about cancel culture in Yankee Doodle Crazy Town.

  20. It lacks the killer feature - FSD.
    2
  21. I think private ownership is BS. Tesla should own the fleet and use debt financing with banks/markets to finance it - no need to use Tesla cash reserves. Put it in a separate corporation with own management, employees etc. Different culture needed to the rest of Tesla.

  22. 10 shares could reach $100 000 in 5 years. Then you invest them in something else that 10x in the next 10 years. Then you retire. Such things are hard to pull off but not impossible.

  23. Cathy Wood is talking about a Cybercab and not an owner run taxi like Brian - the two are Worlds apart in economics.
    2
  24. Included in FSD cost
    2
  25. I am sure that unlike an Uber you will be able to pay to have the Cybercab stay with you on your trip. If you really have tons of gear then you might have to wait for the Robovan.

  26. Initially they will cost more than the bus. After 5-10 years they will be cheaper than the bus and run on your own schedule from your doorstep. Source? The Tesla guys who analyze this to death.

  27. I don't think so. Fast moving assembly lines are not the place for teaching bots. Sure Tesla will have some thing doing non-critical manufacturing work but tasks not related to assembly lines are where they will really start. Maybe tidying the house and folding laundry is good first job.

  28. ALL the cameras?
    2
  29. Stretched? Wait until he buy Walmart.

  30. I agree. But Tesla announced you can buy them giving no further details. I wish Tesla had just chosen to own the fleet 100% themselves.

  31. Elon is also playing 4d chess. The winds of change are blowing in American politics. Black and Mexican voters are not longer broadly in the Democrat corner and it is showing up in the polls for the election. Why else would an illegal immigrant atheist scientist cityslicker with 11 bastard kids suddenly find a problem with wetbaks and transvesties at the age of 50?

  32. ? BYD also building a factory in India.

  33. No. Here are the cities where Tesla is currently hiring for Robotaxi. Austin. LA. SF. Dallas. Houstin. For will follow later in the year.

  34. I noticed it too but I would say it is for adding emphasis to what he is about to say. An interesting oratorical trick.

  35. Nobody knows. Elon says they will sell them but it is not sure if he means for a fleet. I think he will sell them but then it cannot be used for ridehailing, only personal use. AI and internal cameras will prevent cheating.

  36. As an accountant I can tell that Megapack revenue will not be recognized when it is paid, but rather as it is delivered.

  37. I think repairs will be close to 0 for the first 5 years. Accident repairs under FSD will be covered by Tesla.

  38. YouTube is not news. Clickbait titles are now mandatory so speak to Larry Page - if you can find his bunker.

  39. The deal you are reading is just a preliminary deal, no ways it is the deal Elon made.

  40. Let your guests speak more.

  41. I have used Xiaomi phones for a number of years. Their value for money is unquestionable but their software engineering is horrible.

  42. Iron Man. Or maybe AIron Man.

  43. "Tesla needs to open more delivery / service / collision centers." No worries, next year August it will drive itself to Chicago during the night, get the job done and be back by 7am 🙂

  44. 2 years and the battery might need replacement - suspension too. Old generation Tesla batteries get 500k. Lithium Iron Batteries are more likely to go 1 million miles.

  45. Billion vs trillion - GW Bush also could not tell the difference.

  46. Cameras everywhere. Do that and face damages and even jail time.

  47. 8k Rebate may still be running if Biden oops Harris wins.

  48. Thanks Randy - I really needed to hear the tribe analogy.

  49. 100% Tesla will include insurance but I think $600pm and not $200pm is what you are looking at.

  50. It has to do with relative hate. Gop hates gays less than asians. It is a simple hierarchy system in their eyes.
