To cheer you up: I just started my internship at a company that does engineering in the railway industry and there are young people with great ideas that are motivated to actually improve public rail transit.
90% of taxi/Uber rides are by 1 or 2 people. Some of those people go to the airport so the need for a large trunk is more important than solving for the 10% of rides that have more than 2 people. For those, there's the rest of Tesla's lineup which will also have FSD. Also, fewer seats means the 2 front seats are more spacious, easier to clean the puke out of instead of having a bench in the back as well, and you're lugging less weight around town with you if you don't need the extra seats most of the time anyway making the cars more efficient and cheaper to build.
@@Fishy-i2g I was talking about not including a bench in the rear that doesn't get used on top of the 2 front seats is wasteful. So yes, an "extra" bench that doesn't get used and has weight and takes up space in a car IS more wasteful than simply having a car with 2 front seats.
@@CyberFridge 90% of taxi/Uber rides. So we already have a solution for 1 or 2 people needed to be transported. It's called a taxi/Uber. They currently exist, and currently work. What Musk is trying to scam investors out of money for is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. We have ALREADY solved the matter of individual transportation. Cars need real drivers, because driving requires creative problem solving, something a computer cannot do. A computer that can think as creatively as a human would be a genuine sentient artificial intelligence. Self driving is the ultimate long con for Musk. He's been promising it for YEARS, it will. not. happen.
I feel like blaming Elon's decision-making on ketamine is unfair. To Ketamine. There are millions of people taking ketamine daily, and using it to make terrible life choices, without foisting those choices on everyone else
Didn't you just say that Ketamine causes people, "to make terrible life choices"? Do you know what DUI is because that sounds exactly like harming others.
You literally just said Ketamine makes people make terrible life choices, and that sounds like DUI. Don't you dare think there are no repercussions to others for someone's actions.
Nonsense cars are more "mass individualized transport"... totally different Instead they removed all the control someone in a car has over their vehicle and put it on a schedule like conventional mass transit. So now it's worse than mass transit, *and* personal transit
You're completely missing one key detail. Now that it won't be possible for people to drive the cars, the autodriver can no longer engineer an accident and then switch over to manual 0.7 seconds before impact so they can blame it on human error. Which they were doing.
"Engineer" an accident? Are you implying that the autopilot purposely put the vehicle into a crash scenario in order to blame it on the driver? To what end? Literally that helps no one, not Musk and certainly not the driver.
actually i wouldn't be surprised if these choices were made to make it as dangerous legally as possible, due to some agreement to skyrocket the insurance costs.
I agree however the pro musk bots say that your less likeley to be in an accident with ALL self driving cars than with humans which maybe is correct however I still think they should keep them
"Individualized mass transit" sounds like a nice corporate-friendly way of saying, "You won't have to deal with the poors or minorities you hate like you would on actual mass transit." Also it's an oxymoron. You can't have both 'mass' transit and 'individualized' transit together. You have to pick one or the other.
That’s literally it. Some companies exist where they spend 100 to make something, create hype around it, then sell it for 1000 with no quality difference. They just exist to create the illusion of luxury and being better than other people.
And yet, there are taxis. Trains and buses are fine for what they do, but especially in large metropolis areas, individual transport is king, and always will be. Trying to force everyone into trains and busses is as ludicrous as trying to force everyone to live in human storage units, the so-called mixed-use, high-density projects that are being forced upon every buildable square inch of land in sight.
I also predict that taggers will soon figure out that there's nothing to stop them from putting graffiti all over these things. They'll be moving works of urban art.
From the creator of: "Rocket, but dumber", "Train, but dumber", "Semitruck, but dumber", "Pickup, but much dumber" and "Car, but dumber" we present: "Taxi, but dumber" and "Shuttlebus, but dumber". As for "is it fake": The presentation was about two autonomous vehicles, from a company which promised autonomous driving on their vehicles, killed some people with those great features and got restricted from advertising fully autonomous driving. I wonder if the design was deliberately stupid to distract from the fact that Teslas can't drive on their own (in a safe way).
Hey i agree with the transportation bullshit, but SpaceX is doing some amazing things in the field of rocketry. Probably because Musk can't force his ideas on rocket scientists like he can on automotive engineers.
@@exceisior3145 That may be true for LEO and seeing the Musk satellite chain pearl is an awe. But Musk is not colonising mars. ESA already built the required slingshot satellites, just waiting for the first craft to either go for moon venus or mars. His company just made bringing stuff into leo cheaper, which is also an achievement, but it was researchers dreaming this, not him. He just saw the money
The reason is easy: you can’t shrink a model 3/Y more than that w/o developing something really new. Remember a visit at the BMW prototype workshop in the late 80s, where I already saw the new engines to be released 5…10y later. Elon does not even have a single (real) prototype of the M2 he wants to start producing beginning of next year.
One theory is that it's to make room for the driver. I haven't seen a single point where the rear storage area was opened in any of the videos, so the chance that the cars were being driven by people just like the robots were is very high.
@@nordishkiel5985 It all comes back to the idea that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and claiming their cars and their robots are fully autonomous while doing what they're showing in the demo can be achieved by very mundane remote control is waay short of proving they've done anything noteworthy at all.
Had this happen to me once in Lithuania. It was a bus, around 12 at night, the bus was completely empty except for us three. As I was sitting in my chair, I put my legs up on a chair that was facing me and I instantly get embarrased by the driver over the speakers for staining the chair with my shoes. He made me remember this shit, so now I will never do it again
Funny how there are millions of jobs that no one wants to do... and the things these billionaires are training AI to do are the one people are actually willing or even want to do. Almost as if they aren't doing it for our benefit.
The point is not to replace low paid workers in shit jobs, because hiring them is cheap. The goal is to replace happy and well paid people with cheap AIs and robots. We are not the customer; billionaire business owners are.
The profit motive has nothing to do with what humans actually want, like making society or life better. It's about doing whatever profits. Remember that these companies don't want to make "a lot" of money, they want to make *all* the money.
When you see the charts of stock prices, pause and look at the text below. You will see "P/E Ratio" with a number beside it. That is the 'price-earnings ratio' and is really important to understand when looking at publicly traded companies. P is the current share price and E is the last reported earnings per share (net income divided by the number of shares the company has issued). P/E ratio is one of the primary ways (objective) investors judge if a stock is over or undervalued. As discussed in the video, "tech" companies are seen as having more potential for rapid growth compared to companies that make and provide established products and services, ie. stuff that has been around for generations: dishwashers, fast food, banking, bricks, etc. Tesla's current P/E is 70.76. Compare that to: BMW 4.56, Ford 11.8, General Motors 5.51, Honda 6.76, Hyundai 4.66, Mercedes-Benz 5.32, Stellantis (Fiat, Chrysler, Peugot, & more) 2.82, Toyota 7.33, and Volkswagen 3.1. Crazy difference, huh? If Tesla is judged as just another automaker, its share price is somewhere between _6 and 25 times_ overvalued. Compared to BMW - which I think is being generous to Tesla, BMW is bigger and actually makes good cars - Tesla is overvalued 15.5 times. Imagine you are a Tesla investor who knows that if Musk's reality distortion field fails, your Tesla stock is going to lose 93.5% of its value. You are going to tell Musk to keep that distortion field dial turned up to 11 until you can sell your Tesla stock for more than you paid for it (keep in mind that a lot of people bought in when the share price was over $300). PS. Apple's P/E? 35.58. Tesla is overvalued _even as a tech company._
Thank you for the education. Not many would have the patience to type it all out. I similarly cannot wait for investors to fall flat on their asses and suffer.

the memes of the tesla bot are insane. like if you want to know where we are on robotics that company boston dynamics probably will show you our limit for now. which is robots learning how to do “basic” shit, moving (maybe flips which are not basic) but we’re no where near robots talking to us, performing tasks by just listening, robots working outside of controlled surroundings.
@@instantsus_ i mean, we have been able to create AI to perform tasks by natural language commands in virtual spaces, and talking can be made with chatbot AIs hooked up to audio processing and voice generation models, but none of these are light computationally, the accuracy still kinda sucks, and they're definitely not in the realm of almost real-time conversation. watching that puppet pretend to be a robot is full cringe for anyone familiar with the technology

Moscow busses and other public transit look nothing like they used to 30 years ago, but not because a guy like Musk came and started trowing cyber-futuristic crap around, but because the changes made actually helped and were welcomed by public. We have free wifi on busses and metro, we have free USB charging ports, the doors are wider so people don't have to bump into each other when walking out or in, the busses and trains themselves are wider (yes, even metro trains), the seats arrangement is better, all busses have easy wheelchair access and metro staitions have elevators for old and disabled people, we have super easy paying system (you don't even need to buy a ticket, just pay with your bank card/phone/ring/bracelet), we've got air-conditioning, displays in busses and trains that show the route and a few next stops so, even if you're unfamiliar with the area or listening to music, you can see where you are. Oh, and most busses in Moscow are now electrical. Innovation is good, but it has to come naturaly and fix the issues that are there, not invent problems to fix them.
@@thectyptid00 I was talking mostly on the outside... as you say inside and "under the hood" modern buses thrash buses from a decade ago, let alone 30 years ago. but from the outside both are recognisable as "a bus"
I also love how every "robot" has a person that keeps people away so they don't touch it or accidentally bump it. Because of course it has no way of self stabilization, or at least very little. Meanwhile at Boston Dynamics they smack and push their robots like silly and the always counterbalance with no issue.
@GTA_6_Clips buying companies that were already doin shit then slappin your name and face over their products is not innovation. the first and only vehicle musk actually designed from the ground up, the cybertruck, is a complete piece of shit. u need to wake up
@@GTA_6_Clips you do understand that the actual technological advancements coming out of companies owned by elon musk (like the spacex booster catch) are being done by the scientists and engineers working at these companies and not musk himself, right? musk's entire track record is overpromising and underdelivering while doing dozens if not hundreds of osha violations. he's the exec who walks into a room and says "let's do this" and the engineers who work at his companies have to figure out what the fuck this guy is smoking to think driverless taxis are going to be a thing right now and then try to make it happen. musk isn't an inventor or scientist or researcher or anything of the sort. he's just rich and was good at marketing before he started losing it on twitter.
The most disappointing thing is that there are people who'd rather have this inefficient, ugly insult to transportation than support having more efficient and cost effective public transportation just because of the sheer contempt they have for their fellow humans.
Whats worse is that this was solved more than 100 years ago. a train used to be separated by class they could just do the same for a subway lmao. just make 1-2 wagons be premium and charge 10X for them and thats it and make the stations nice its not that hard.
Seems like what you're trying to say is that public transport is objectively better in every way, and the only possible reason anybody could have to want to travel any other way is they have sheer contempt for their fellow humans, which is just hyperbolic nonsense. There are many advantages to traveling via car that have nothing to do with other people. For example a car goes directly from where I currently am to the destination. I can transport stuff via car that I'm not going to get away with taking on a bus or a train. I have full control over the heating/cooling system. I am guaranteed to have a place to sit. The travel times are on average much shorter. Just to make things clear I am NOT against busses or trains - I take a train to and from work 5 days a week because it's cheaper, I don't have to deal with traffic or parking and I can just mess around on my phone during the journey. But if I am doing grocery shopping, or I want to see a movie, or go out to a restaurant for a meal I would prefer to drive in those situations because the distance I am traveling is much smaller, and the time spent walking to and from bus stops and waiting for them to arrive adds up a lot more on a short journey. A bus could take me up to an hour just in travel time to and from the grocery store, compared to just 20 minutes if I drove. I also don't have to worry about having too much shopping to get home with on a bus. I'd say the 'sheer contempt for fellow humans' thing DOES apply to Elon Musk - he wants to stop anybody building public transport infrastructure and instead pay him to do this type of garbage and he does not care enough about his fellow humans to give a damn that public transport overall would be a better thing to invest in for society than his trash that nobody asked for. I'm just saying it's ridiculous to imply that anybody who doesn't want to use public transport must have contempt for their fellow humans when there are a ton of legitimate reasons to want to use a car over public transport that have nothing to do with having contempt for people.
@@StreakyBaconMan And where the hell did @jonathanjuarez5544 condemn all car use? Oh yeah, he didn't. Thanks for your defense of the poor, marginalized, unrepresented motorist class, anyway./s
I really cannot believe people buy this ridiculous vision of thousands and thousands of individual cabs mitigating urban traffic. 3.6M people ride the NYC subway every day. Manhattan has a land area of 20 square miles. It’s madness. Don’t even get me started on the insanity of believing AI can safely navigate the chaos of a busy city.
This is what I think. If I'm on the subway, or even a bus, I think 'if every person here was in a robotaxi how many robotaxis would be flooding the streets?' It just doesn't work. Plus, if you look at anywhere outside north america, nobody is relying on private vehicles in urban centers. Car centric US culture was the product of the US auto industry influencing government, and a way to exclude 'undesirables' from certain neighborhoods.
Those robo vans will be great in the US because we don't have much crime here, especially road rage violence. Also, our kick-ass infrastructure means all of our roads and streets are in great condition. Should be good... :/
I saw the negative ground clearance. This thing would bottom out on a hardwood floor. Much less a road. Even if the road was in pristine condition, speed bumps exist...
Supposedly the bottom part is a moveable skirt. But that's not really a defense as it just means in a few weeks it will be scuffed to oblivion and leaving microplastics everywhere.
@@Rolandeld1999 Yeah, one man (dead by the way) who had the entire US bank/FBI system at his back is to blame, yeah yeah. I bet you would be a better Tesla than him 🖖🏽

A Serb here, can I say I know more about his personality coming from the same geographical teritory? Do you know Serbian history, language?
The part about other people slapping his hands away when he comes up with an Idea is important. I distinctly remember back in 2015 or so that shareholders in either Tesla or SpaceX tried to get him removed from the company, and within two weeks he Uno reversed that gambit, removed those shareholders, and took full control of the company. The guard rails are entirely off now, and have been for a while.
I've heard that everything in the Tesla/SpaceX labs essentially grinds to a halt whenever Musk shows up and does what's basically a guided tour. After he leaves, it's like "All right, everybody: back to work!"
To be honest, if an Elon-mobile showed up for me with wheelchair access, I would be hesitant to get in in case it self-drove me to the nearest purification-and-euthanasia center.
Elon Musk is the kind of man who looks at a game like Deus Ex or a movie like Blade Runner and thinks "Wow cool aesthetic, I'm totally just like the good guy in these" and totally oblivious to the games being a warning about people just like him.
He literally named it "we robot" :I (But it finally payed off, that Audi sponsored that I robot movie, since when I saw EM talk about tesla all I could think off was Will Smith in an Audi...)
As a kid with a childish interest in robots, I was at a county fair where a talking robot was driving around. This was in the 80s so no walking robots. I remember my disappointment when I saw the guy who both steered the robot and did the talking. That adults 40 years later don't see those robots for what they are is embarrassing.
@@Volcano22207 Have any companies made robot hands as articulate as Optimus? How many robots are as capable at Optimus at its broad use case (from factory work to bartending) and also targeting a production cost under $30k?

Sure it looks fun to see a robot doing parkour, but that's comparing prohibitively expensive and impractical engineering porn with practical engineering.

I can see that day, people hardly mention Saturn and that was a similar product, had a vibe in the late 90's. But they couldn't keep up with the way new tech shows up in newer models and fell behind. Yea the scale is a bit bigger but I can think of a few things that were all consuming in pop culture that are complete cringe anymore, it is the curse of being super popular, if they can love you they can also grow to hate you.
This “Robo van” literally looks like something out of some cheesy 1960s catalog that advertises “the cars of the FUTURE!!!” But never actually happened for the reasons stated in the video
@@jesuscoutofandino6280 An apt observation. I'd widen the scope to, "any city at all". Every city I've lived in and visited had slopes to various degrees because nowhere on Earth has flat terrain for miles, inclines for parking garages, speed bumps, rough patches of roads, litter, road debris, etc. But I think we're overthinking this - it's just a stupid mockup of some fever dream he had, like a hyperloop pod. He's never delivered anything that looks like what he first imagined. He doesn't intend for something that looks precisely and exactly like that to hit the streets. This will likely end up like the Vegas loop - he'll dumb it down until it's just a ride share van that already exists, integrate some sort of Tesla app to hail for a ride for the existing ride share vans, and call it a day.

@@CyberFridge”most cases” is highly subjective, but even if true, it’s not enough. As far as I’ve seen, you can’t make a single trip without intervention. People often report errors, accidents and that the car makes them nervous. It’s not FULL self-driving if Tesla legally requires a driver at the wheel. Elon promised that you’ll be able to take a cross-country trip without touching the wheel. That was a decade a ago. My optimism is long gone.
Surprising, you left out that, at one point, the "talking robot" explicetly admits it is an intern in the back talking and not an AI doing the answering.

I don't know what's more awkward about that presentation; Elon's deadpan deliveries or the fact that the audience sounds like a glitched soundtrack to a bad sitcom.
Elon is not a great presenter; agreed. But if that's all you got out of the We Robot event, I feel sorry for you. I'll take crappy presentation skills and a company that produces game-changing devices/products any day over a company that doesn't do anything but has a smooth-talking CEO. And for those that think Tesla is way behind, have a look at some of the latest EVs coming out of Korea, Europe, and China. You'll notice many features that were first pioneered by Tesla. Yet when you look at profit margins, Tesla is almost the only car manufacturer of EVs out there that produce their EVs profitably (with the exception of a few Chinese models for some of the Chinese companies). If Elon is all smoke and mirrors and Tesla is behind, then please explain why all the other manufacturers seem to not be able to produce an EV profitably? I'll wait...
@@CyberFridge Demos of products that don't actually work and where the company is faking it isn't unique to him, just for everything that works, a bunch else never lives up to the hype. Plenty of tech people are bad at presenting, but I think what makes it a bigger deal here is that Musk clearly is desperate to be seen as funny.
@@CyberFridge I think the problem is that, if Elon was just another dork CEO of a tech company, it wouldn't matter. It's just that Elon Musk clearly thinks that he's incredibly funny and witty and such, and he seems genuinely bothered that others don't agree. Leaders of companies (or of anything) can have plenty of deficiencies, but they usually are aware of what they are and they compensate. Musk seems to be in denial of them, totally oblivious and even hostile. So that's kind of the difference.
simple. trolley = public transportation, which is bad because the poors will use it too and musk fans don't want to even see poor people. cyber van = not public transportation which is good because they won't have to look at poor people. it's just classism.
There are amazing high tech concept buses from real companies that are 10 times more advanced and practical than these... and they don't even produce those. Producing these stupid ones would be crazy.
These androids don't feature working walk cycles, which to be fair is quite a feed with this human formfactor. Movement of the upper is on par with everything I've seen at IAAPA this year and five years. But the detroit become human type of functionality is complete b.s. There is no way they can make their own GI and humanoid robot when their main focus is on car development and their competitor is boston dynamic. If they really want to release it someday, which is highly doubt, they would have to be extremely cost efficient. But we can already see the problem of that with the current EVs...

So I have an idea: Since all those cybertaxis are in a row, how about we put them on some kind of track, and hook them up end to end. And maybe to make them a bit roomier, let's make them a bit taller and maybe have a fewer bigger vehicles instead of lots of tiny vehicles. Oh, drat, I've re-invented trains again, haven't I?
The point of them though is that they can split off so that they can go in multiple different directions. when a train does this, it usually goes poorly.
@@timogul Not if you plan for that. There are numerous places on the US intercity passenger rail system where trains get split between multiple destinations. And lots of metro routes all over the place that alternate between multiple endpoints.
@@thexalon Trains do not split between multiple directions, you can just have multiple trains on a single line and some of those trains go one way and another the other way. If you get on the train to destination A, it will not go to destination B. And of course there already needs to be a train line servicing both A and B, if no trains go to destination C, you can't get there by train. That is why this sort of service can have value, it can be much more flexible in destinations.
@@timogul Wrong. We have trains that stop in station A, and you know up front that if you want to go to station B you need to sit in the last 4 carriages, or you will end up in station C.

To be fair to him he used to be better at it, nd tesla used to actually deliver on at least a decent percentage of his promises. Both he both got worse at this, and tesla stopped beeing cutting edge in a lot of sectors. And musk constantly pcik those sectors to focus on.
It used to be good, old tesla was good, they was the leader in evs market and still currently a leader i think. Beside, he also has huge success in spaceflight with spacex so it just make sense for investors to invest in his ideas
Making a car that has no driver input at is the most contradictory thing, because the reason we made and sold them in the first place was for the experience of controlling a big machine yourself freely, which in turn did prove to be efficient in transport in some ways but we seem to have forgotten the limits to that a while ago.
More like this please. We live in an age where we get our “world news” from online media. We are actively learning how to teach people to spot B.S. We all have minds that are vulnerable to believing disinformation. Some more than others. So we all have to work to counter those false narratives.
If I had to guess, Elon was probably trying to shore up liquid capital to pump into the Trump campaign due to how much he's bet all in, hoping for that to pay off in government contracts and to ensure he stays out of jail for all the crimes he's been committing. That might be giving him too much credit though.
Pumping the stock with the robotaxi has worked before, and Tesla has nothing new on the books. The event got pushed back closer to election and Q3 earnings call. Pump the stock, sell (we'll find out soon if he did. The CFO sold), if Trump wins then ask for pardon, gut the regulatory bodies, and laugh at all the fan boys who just could not be told. Oh well. At least the fan boys 🚀🌚

The Cybertruck closing it's frunk even harder if it encounters resistance is so baffelingly stupid. That's such a basic safety oversight. We had this kinda stuff figured out forever and somehow none of the engineers at Tesla caught it.
The way the cybertruck frunk closes now (after an over the air update) is that it will twice stop and reopen if it hits an obstruction, but if you try a third time immediately, it assumes you must mean that it should continue. Don't risk your finger on try #3.
No pedals or steering wheel? Child’s play. My own robo taxi also doesn’t include brakes, wheels, seats, a body or chassis. And it’s all available to the public today for a mere $29,999.99. I’m about to go test drive mine up the street right now!
I wonder if the goal is to pitch these as "public transit", garner government funding for internal R&D, perfect self driving trench at public expense, then actually develop personal vehicles that can drive their sole occupant to and from office/home.
Though for me, the whole 'office to home' worker dynamic - for many workers, the possibility of remote work should make that commute obsolete. So I guess that's why Musk and such are so big into demanding in office work? So he can sell this crap.
As a committed leftist, I believe in the heroism of all labour. But that Budapest public transit driver should be the Spartacus persona and poster child of the international labour movement should be putting on billboards. Sounds like you met a living legend.
I wish transit drivers in the US could be so bold, but they also have to contend with the possibility that unruly people on mass transit might be armed and ready to fire. Like I have only been in 1 situation on mass transit in the US that looked like it could have gotten violent, but it required extra armed mass transit police. At the same time, at least public shaming has some effect on mass transit etiquette.
One thing I noticed about the "Cybercab" event, that I'm not seeing anyone talk about is that this event was delayed. But a couple of months.

Tesla: our goal is maximum efficiency
Also Tesla: uses two seats on a six seat footprint
The rich need all that extra room for the shit they keep buying.
90% of taxi/Uber rides are by 1 or 2 people. Some of those people go to the airport so the need for a large trunk is more important than solving for the 10% of rides that have more than 2 people. For those, there's the rest of Tesla's lineup which will also have FSD. Also, fewer seats means the 2 front seats are more spacious, easier to clean the puke out of instead of having a bench in the back as well, and you're lugging less weight around town with you if you don't need the extra seats most of the time anyway making the cars more efficient and cheaper to build.
@@CyberFridge you really saying a simple bench seat is more expensive than an over engineered multi seat configuration?
@@Fishy-i2g I was talking about not including a bench in the rear that doesn't get used on top of the 2 front seats is wasteful. So yes, an "extra" bench that doesn't get used and has weight and takes up space in a car IS more wasteful than simply having a car with 2 front seats.
@@CyberFridge 90% of taxi/Uber rides. So we already have a solution for 1 or 2 people needed to be transported. It's called a taxi/Uber. They currently exist, and currently work. What Musk is trying to scam investors out of money for is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. We have ALREADY solved the matter of individual transportation.
Cars need real drivers, because driving requires creative problem solving, something a computer cannot do. A computer that can think as creatively as a human would be a genuine sentient artificial intelligence.
Self driving is the ultimate long con for Musk. He's been promising it for YEARS, it will. not. happen.

"Individualized mass transit" sounds like a nice corporate-friendly way of saying, "You won't have to deal with the poors or minorities you hate like you would on actual mass transit."
Also it's an oxymoron. You can't have both 'mass' transit and 'individualized' transit together. You have to pick one or the other.
That’s literally it. Some companies exist where they spend 100 to make something, create hype around it, then sell it for 1000 with no quality difference. They just exist to create the illusion of luxury and being better than other people.
"The poors"?
And yet, there are taxis. Trains and buses are fine for what they do, but especially in large metropolis areas, individual transport is king, and always will be. Trying to force everyone into trains and busses is as ludicrous as trying to force everyone to live in human storage units, the so-called mixed-use, high-density projects that are being forced upon every buildable square inch of land in sight.

When you see the charts of stock prices, pause and look at the text below. You will see "P/E Ratio" with a number beside it. That is the 'price-earnings ratio' and is really important to understand when looking at publicly traded companies. P is the current share price and E is the last reported earnings per share (net income divided by the number of shares the company has issued). P/E ratio is one of the primary ways (objective) investors judge if a stock is over or undervalued. As discussed in the video, "tech" companies are seen as having more potential for rapid growth compared to companies that make and provide established products and services, ie. stuff that has been around for generations: dishwashers, fast food, banking, bricks, etc. Tesla's current P/E is 70.76. Compare that to: BMW 4.56, Ford 11.8, General Motors 5.51, Honda 6.76, Hyundai 4.66, Mercedes-Benz 5.32, Stellantis (Fiat, Chrysler, Peugot, & more) 2.82, Toyota 7.33, and Volkswagen 3.1. Crazy difference, huh? If Tesla is judged as just another automaker, its share price is somewhere between _6 and 25 times_ overvalued. Compared to BMW - which I think is being generous to Tesla, BMW is bigger and actually makes good cars - Tesla is overvalued 15.5 times. Imagine you are a Tesla investor who knows that if Musk's reality distortion field fails, your Tesla stock is going to lose 93.5% of its value. You are going to tell Musk to keep that distortion field dial turned up to 11 until you can sell your Tesla stock for more than you paid for it (keep in mind that a lot of people bought in when the share price was over $300).
PS. Apple's P/E? 35.58. Tesla is overvalued _even as a tech company._

The most disappointing thing is that there are people who'd rather have this inefficient, ugly insult to transportation than support having more efficient and cost effective public transportation just because of the sheer contempt they have for their fellow humans.
Whats worse is that this was solved more than 100 years ago. a train used to be separated by class they could just do the same for a subway lmao. just make 1-2 wagons be premium and charge 10X for them and thats it and make the stations nice its not that hard.
Seems like what you're trying to say is that public transport is objectively better in every way, and the only possible reason anybody could have to want to travel any other way is they have sheer contempt for their fellow humans, which is just hyperbolic nonsense. There are many advantages to traveling via car that have nothing to do with other people. For example a car goes directly from where I currently am to the destination. I can transport stuff via car that I'm not going to get away with taking on a bus or a train. I have full control over the heating/cooling system. I am guaranteed to have a place to sit. The travel times are on average much shorter. Just to make things clear I am NOT against busses or trains - I take a train to and from work 5 days a week because it's cheaper, I don't have to deal with traffic or parking and I can just mess around on my phone during the journey. But if I am doing grocery shopping, or I want to see a movie, or go out to a restaurant for a meal I would prefer to drive in those situations because the distance I am traveling is much smaller, and the time spent walking to and from bus stops and waiting for them to arrive adds up a lot more on a short journey. A bus could take me up to an hour just in travel time to and from the grocery store, compared to just 20 minutes if I drove. I also don't have to worry about having too much shopping to get home with on a bus.
I'd say the 'sheer contempt for fellow humans' thing DOES apply to Elon Musk - he wants to stop anybody building public transport infrastructure and instead pay him to do this type of garbage and he does not care enough about his fellow humans to give a damn that public transport overall would be a better thing to invest in for society than his trash that nobody asked for. I'm just saying it's ridiculous to imply that anybody who doesn't want to use public transport must have contempt for their fellow humans when there are a ton of legitimate reasons to want to use a car over public transport that have nothing to do with having contempt for people.

He's never delivered anything that looks like what he first imagined. He doesn't intend for something that looks precisely and exactly like that to hit the streets. This will likely end up like the Vegas loop - he'll dumb it down until it's just a ride share van that already exists, integrate some sort of Tesla app to hail for a ride for the existing ride share vans, and call it a day.

Elon is not a great presenter; agreed. But if that's all you got out of the We Robot event, I feel sorry for you. I'll take crappy presentation skills and a company that produces game-changing devices/products any day over a company that doesn't do anything but has a smooth-talking CEO. And for those that think Tesla is way behind, have a look at some of the latest EVs coming out of Korea, Europe, and China. You'll notice many features that were first pioneered by Tesla. Yet when you look at profit margins, Tesla is almost the only car manufacturer of EVs out there that produce their EVs profitably (with the exception of a few Chinese models for some of the Chinese companies). If Elon is all smoke and mirrors and Tesla is behind, then please explain why all the other manufacturers seem to not be able to produce an EV profitably? I'll wait...
@@CyberFridge Demos of products that don't actually work and where the company is faking it isn't unique to him, just for everything that works, a bunch else never lives up to the hype.
Plenty of tech people are bad at presenting, but I think what makes it a bigger deal here is that Musk clearly is desperate to be seen as funny.
@@CyberFridge I think the problem is that, if Elon was just another dork CEO of a tech company, it wouldn't matter.
It's just that Elon Musk clearly thinks that he's incredibly funny and witty and such, and he seems genuinely bothered that others don't agree.
Leaders of companies (or of anything) can have plenty of deficiencies, but they usually are aware of what they are and they compensate. Musk seems to be in denial of them, totally oblivious and even hostile. So that's kind of the difference.
The cybervan is a TROLLEY with extra steps! Why would people want cybervans in their cities when trolleys would be easier and safer!?
simple. trolley = public transportation, which is bad because the poors will use it too and musk fans don't want to even see poor people. cyber van = not public transportation which is good because they won't have to look at poor people. it's just classism.
And more comfortable who want to travel in a confin and an ugly one
Because trolleys are OLD FASHIONED and these are CYBER (futuristic)!
Because then Elon wouldn't be able to make money off it. He would have derailed it like he did HSR.
There are amazing high tech concept buses from real companies that are 10 times more advanced and practical than these... and they don't even produce those. Producing these stupid ones would be crazy.

Though for me, the whole 'office to home' worker dynamic - for many workers, the possibility of remote work should make that commute obsolete. So I guess that's why Musk and such are so big into demanding in office work? So he can sell this crap.

But that Budapest public transit driver should be the Spartacus persona and poster child of the international labour movement should be putting on billboards. Sounds like you met a living legend.
