  1. Good job Farzad!

  2. I think CT is safer than a regular truck for the downward sloped shape of the hood alone - better visibility ahead.

  3. Too bad Rohan left Tesla just about when he became a voice of reason on X.

  5. Scary virtual reality: ads everywhere. That's basically Zucks master plan with "Metaverse". He just wants to sell more ads, esp. more immersive ads.

  6. It could work as a robotaxi (i.e. for short trips) but I don't think this little luggage space will make it desirable to own for large group of buyers. Most small compact hatchback cars have quite large luggage space if you only seat 2 persons. I hope they revise it otherwise it will become a niche product like a Smart.

  7. You shouldn't compare net worth (market cap) to GDP. GDP is better related to revenue. If you want to compare market cap you have to compare to the whole country's assets, i.e. all their buildings etc.

  8. I heard somebody argue that we already live in the age of abundance. Only things that are truly scarce cost a lot of money: land (because of location) and in extension housing, branded stuff, college tuition (a variant of brand). While the common necessities are relatively cheap (relative to income): food, electronics, energy. Products and services that require a lot of labor remain expensive (healthcare, construction to some extent). But I hear you say "it doesn't feel like that - everything is so expensive". And that is right, too. I believe to some extent it is because we desire those expensive things and to some other extent parts of the economy are hijacked (e.g. US healthcare, probably housing as well). We desire to go to Ivy league colleges. We desire fashion etc. In fact, a large part of creating a profitable business nowadays is to think about how you can make your products more desirable in the eye of the customer. That is what branding is all about and large parts of marketing. Ever heard of "demand generation"? Most businesses don't struggle to make stuff, they struggle to get customers in the door. So in conclusion I think money will remain important to allocate those scarce products and services and even if we already have everything we need the next Steve Jobs is working hard on creating another thing that we didn't even know we needed but we desire it now that it exists. And if that new Steve Jobs is smart he will now we desire this thing and make the price high.

  9. Just bring your old gas car to the junk yard. No need for Tesla to buy it from you. It's what I did a few years ago - lost probably around $1000 (yes, it was an old beater).

  10. They only "bombshell" I could identify is that Elon isn't that excited about crypto.

  11. Exactly. Unions are there to ask a 5% raise every 2 years and then actually negotiate a 2% raise and $200 one-time payment, all while likely shutting down the business for weeks.

  12. What do you mean "we had guys walk to every house to read the meter only 10 years ago" - we still have that here, but it's only once or twice per year and many times they ask the customer to self-report and only come very occasionally to double-check.

  13. Today we are multi-kW peak level of energy consumption: HVAC and electric stoves need a few kW when operating. Cars use 50 - 500kW peak and are charged at ~5-10kW averaged. My household consumes about 10kWh per day for 4 people, so that is 2.5kWh/24 hours/person or 100W/person averaged over a day, but we don't have a car.
