Would be funny if he didnt die, on this, it wasn't fault of his self driving "car" but bus driver, on daylight on crossing - driver didnt stop he died.

Or eventually cheap taxi that will drive them to suburbs. Well no other choice but to wait when Elon finally make it. Bus small enough to make sense in america.

      Here’s what probably happened: Tesla Autopilot searches for the road marking lines to guide it in a straight line. The real fun begins when Autopilot loses sight of the line on the right, which is the one that is most often not clearly marked. Instead of using the centerline as a reference, it tends to drift over to the right in search of a line that may not even be there. That could take you into a ditch. That can kill you.

      Even the new rehashed Model 3, was test driving it in the city on a road, with construction going on, on the side of the road, the Tesla was switching between wanting to drive into the cones, or phanton break again and again. Meanwhile the other cars I tested the same day, had zero issues with their assists systems, keeping on the actual driveable part of the road, with no phantom breaking, that included both European/Chinese brands. The M3 highland, is literally a "Horse" with its no sensors "deal", it just shows the lack of sensors like USS/Radar, which all the other cars got, when you actually drive it inside a city here in Europe. It's also interesting to see how Tesla will handle the new EU requirements, which will require many of the features from EAP, will they increase prices, or provide most of the EAP feature for free, making the whole EAP package seem less interesting.

      Because investment firms make billions off Tesla every year pretty much anytime Elon says something bad about the company or they massively fail to hit quotas the stock price tanks and investors buy cheap shares. But not long after Elon will say some BS like "we have invented a mega giga AI brain that responds 12 times faster then a human and its available to install into self driving tesla cars right now" and stock prices will soar 30%+ nearly overnight in which investment firm will then sell off making billions.
      This house of cards will collapse at some point probably due to a lawsuit such as the one based on the BS claims of FSD which if Tesla loses that one they will lose 5 billion alone on giving customer refunds on FSD costs alone and could face upto losing something like 400 billion if it is ruled they would have to give a full refund for the cars as well.

My insurance is normally about 500.00 a year. A fully electric car is around 4,000.00. The electric costs are about 400kwh of electricity is about 120.00 from a home supply (of the 400kwh you purchase ends up in the car I’m not sure, there’s bound to be some loss). It’s about 1000 miles, a diesel car would need about 270.00 to cover that distance. 150.00 saving. Insurance being 3500.00 a year more means I’d have to do this 23 times to break even. 23,000 miles….almost twice the national average. Also, I can do this mileage in a secondhand diesel at a cost of 5-6,000 pounds for the vehicle. You couldn’t trust that sort of mileage in a secondhand electric car.

    Back when Elon first announced Starship he said he was taking a more active role in the actual development than he did with Falcon's development. This was about the same time many real rocket scientists left the company for no apparent reasons. I get the feeling things he thought of get the highest priority by his directive which would explain Starship. He first said he chose stainless steel because he wasn't going to use a thermal protection surface which would save weight which makes the SS worth it's weight penalty as opposed to aluminum. He then relented in the face of reality announcing heavy ceramic tiles, his idea I'd guess, which in combination with the heavier SS is not sensible. Then he announced Cybertruck will be using the same SS also which all tells me Elon is locked into a contract with the mill makes his "custom" stainless steel which he called his "invention". What most don't know is steel mills will alter the formulation to specific needs and is part of their normal operations for anyone with the money.

      First there's tech bros and musk idolisers that will hold on to Tesla stock no matter what. So the stock price will never plummet if some will not sell. But that's only minor.
      What's more important is that even without Tesla's fsd, Tesla still is a decent company with a good product. The cars are popular and of decent quality, they are technologically ahead of most competitors, and they're an established brand. So even without fsd, sales will most likely hold.
      Plus Tesla has battery manufacturing plants and multiple massive factories to produce their products. These hold significant value in themselves, and again, even without fsd are able to crank out a reasonably good product that people want at a good price and profit margin.
      So no. Tesla stock won't plummet even when it becomes apparent what an idiotic lemon that cybertruck turns out to be. It will maybe drop, but it will not crash imho.

But its market share is only 2%. So compared to other brands Tesla is 50x overvalued. Sure, it's purely an EV brand, which is the growing market (although Tesla's market share of all EV sales has also been dropping recently).

    Quick question, if this robotaxi sells for 38K or less, and makes a couple hundred grand for the owner by driving it's self around... why is he selling them? That's like selling the goose that lays golden eggs. I'm going to wait and watch this thing lay a couple eggs first.

      The Model 2 is to be sub 30K$ and taxi revs will be over a period likely 60K$ per year as a top possible number.
      The model 2 and software are not completed to make a 'robotaxi'... so he isn't selling them, yet. They don't exist yet, there is no goose or egg yet and so yeah, you are going to have to wait and watch and be quiet also.

    • @pistonburner6448
      @pistonburner6448 6 месяцев назад

      Tesla started with a horrible, ridiculous product and a totally non-viable business. Now, years and hundreds of billions invested later and after China bailed Tesla out (and took control, built Tesla their largest factory (plus its whole supplier network), demanded their batteries get swapped in, so they can essentially sell Chinese cars to Europe and much of Asia using Tesla as a trojan horse), it's still a ridiculous product and a totally non-viable business.
      Tesla survives on lies, and EVs survive (for now) on massive international fraud which has pushed taxpayer money to them so that tens of thousands of people can also funnel taxpayer money to themselves with it.

      One thing people need to understand about con-men is that not all of them started with a fraud: many of them started with a real business venture that got in financial trouble, and the scamming started as a stop-gap measure. Both Tesla and SpaceX produce real working products with serious engineering behind them, but both companies would have gone broke (or at least Musk would have been forced to sell them off) without all the vaporware scams to draw in investors and fool regulators. (Meanwhile, HyperLoop, Tesla Solar and Neuralink never got to be more than complete scams.)

    Speaking as an accountant if you buy a horse you don't have depreciation on a horse but you do on a Tesla. Also a horse lives on average to 30 years and most of those are working years. I don't think Teslas have that much longevity. Bottom line the horse is more reliable and never loses value.
