  1. Farzad shouted down Nic - Nic's point was clear - that Crypto is a 'store of value' and so are many other things - for a while Tulips were a store of value.

  2. I like the way this guest thinks. Not just about Tesla but about the World. You should put guest names in the description.

  3. Ouch.

  4. Goods transport. If you are selling stuff delivery cost now drops close to zero.

  5. Most people were along for the profit ride when there were chip shortages and Tesla did not have them. They had no idea what they were buying. Tesla is an AI company that happens to make cars as well.

  6. As is normal with Elon for over a decade now.

  7. That does not agree to the video. The video says it consists of medical and government pensions. SSI not mentioned.

  8. Couldn't sleep last night thinking similar thoughts. I was thinking an office that drives around. Rather than having an office in a building your office just moves with you where you need to go. Maybe a company has a 1000 of them and they just swarm together or break apart as needed.

  9. Nope. It is there already. There are Uber drivers who just let FSD do everything and hardly ever have to intervene. Remote operation is also standard for Robotaxis (Waymo does it). Wall Street will only pay attention once the growth on the income statement is there.

  10. Bob Marley did not sing Don't Worry Be Happy. It was Bobby McFerrin.

  11. Elon kowtows to China because the country is effectively one giant manufacturing for export subsidization program, and secondly, the Chinese market is the biggest for Tesla (and all other car makers these days).

  12. People are pissed off because they are car people and don't understand Tesla. They all invested when margins were high because of chip shortages and then lost money when the stock tanked as shortages cleared up. They think that Tesla can 'grow again' if it just creates a better car. They don't understand that outside the US the model 2 would be competing against BYD who the CCP is pouring every spare cent they have into.

  13. Not going to happen. Tesla got badly burned sharing nerdy details as China and other then immediately invested billions to copy. Copying is not a threat if it lags your development by 5 years, but it is a major threat if it lags by only 5 months.

  14. I think so. But that is good for shareholders like me because it gives Tesla a massive moat.

  15. Pandemic and consequent inflation have delayed it 4 years. Still on track.

  16. Hypomania = Decreased need for sleep Increased energy and activity levels Elevated mood and exaggerated optimism Increased talkativeness and sociability Irritability or a short temper Racing thoughts and distractibility Inflated self-esteem or grandiosity Increased sexual drive Reckless and impulsive behaviors In some cases, increased productivity and creativity

  17. He was born in South Africa. We will gladly take him back for our president but unfortunately he has the wrong colour skin.

  18. No. Mark speaks Chinese but Mark and Elon are no longer friends. He is probably wearing an earpiece.

  19. Gold and silver are used in many industrial processes. Also Jewelry.

  20. This. I grew riding bicycles in the street. From what I saw and learned I will not let my children ride bicycles anywhere near cars.

  21. Lag is an issue. Mars Rovers etc are teleoperated but the do things very slowly as a result. I think the ideal is that teleoperation is only for training scenarios.

  22. When you live in poverty your children are cheap labour so you have 16. Then you become middle income and you cannot afford them so you have none. Then you become high income and you want lots so you have 16 again. Its a money thing.

  23. Agreed. He has failed to deliver roadster, S, X, 3, Y and Cybertruck. He will fail to deliver Robotaxi on 8/8 too. What a clown.

  24. You are 100% correct for customers who are price sensitive. For those that $100k is not a big deal purchase they may prefer not to share.

  25. CATL is the only source of enough batteries and if they battery is not made in America then half the rebate is lost in the US.

  26. Don't think so small. A corporation with 1000 employees could have 200 Robovans that work as conference rooms, focus rooms, corner offices or anything else. Even for mechanical stuff - you drive in your model 3 to the customer and all your machinary and tools follows behind in the Rabovin.

  27. A Mexican robotaxi would be trained on Mexican driver data - so if it needs to dodge kids playing in the road or there is a shootout and you need to get the hell out of dodge - it should be able to do those things. It will cut the cost of transport for most people to 50% - so it will be welcomed by the government.

  28. Yes. Length and roof height. Also with and without the low aerodynamic trim.

  29. Adapting a fleet of Optimus robots to an industrial business will have an training process followed by fine tuning AI training - this may be expensive initially, or less so after some years. Home use would the same thing in every house - clean, cook, laundry, tidy, DIY - it is all identical.

  30. Sleepy Joe?

  31. It will definitely solve the staring problem.

  32. "Regulatory approval for FSD" It is not required in 41 states and the rest will have their hand forced when safety statistics are released.

  33. Anything is a store of value as long as it keeps going up. I would like to see what happens to BTC if it goes down say 3 years in a row.

  34. This is very fixable. They just record a hundred videos of staff doing it correctly and it will be solved. Think to the future, my friend.

  35. They will try. But Tesla gets the better deal - production of Teslas at 25% less than in America or Europe.

  36. Andrew Ng's company is already selling that software for container ships and oil tankers.

  37. The whole point is not to paint it or have to repaint after bumper bashings, trolley dings and so on. Over the life of a vehicle I reckon it could save ten of thousands of dollars. Over a fleet of 10m vehicles it could easily save $1 billion.

  38. Static robots are dangerous to humans and cannot move around - these are real drawbacks.

  39. "The Robotaxi will not be approved by the regulators until 2026 at the earliest." 41 States require no approval. There have already been accidents and these caused no delays.

  40. Reuters report was mostly true. The false part is that the Model 2 is not cancelled but delayed until a later date. Tesla needs no be re-evaluated as an AI/Software company - because car companies are mostly like airlines, a good way to lose money slowly until the next government bailout.

  41. The only way you can internalize that is to watch a whole bunch of FSD V12 videos - it takes hours to understand that properly.

  42. How so? Reducing spending means less inflation, less taxes, reasonable entitlements -this benefits the whole population. Elon gets nothing.

  43. Almost certainly the last one. Tesla prefer vertical integration and direct to consumer models - it gives them control over the quality of the service. When you consider how awful most Uber trips are now, I think this is the only way.
    1
  44. No infrastructure is needed. It can go wherever other cars go.
    1
  45. No. Passengers will never be required to operate the taxi. Tesla employees can always get it out of a jam by driving it over the internet.

  46. Gamble is wrong word. Business is about risk, even doing nothing or sticking in your lane can be super risky. It is about taking the right risks in the right way and Elon is the master of that.

  47. They could release FSD provisions to profit. The profit will have to be a lot worse than the delivery numbers implied as well.

  48. Hells bells! Lemon really came at this with the hardest possible agenda. I think Trump has the election in the bag, not because of anything to do with him, but to do with the hardline Democrat agenda that has run out of steam.

  49. Pandemic. Chip Shortage. Inflation. Fauci screwed the pooch.
