Unitree is better than Optimus. Qwen et al is better than Grok. BYD is better than Tesla.

> Comma.ai is better than Tesla FSD I don't know about the other comparisons mentioned, but Hotz himself said comma is/has always been about 2 years behind Tesla.

    Yup (what's quoted is precisely what was in the original comment). The reply was very soon (2 minutes) after the original comment, so perhaps GP's author corrected themselves (edited the comment) during that time (prior to noticing the reply).

> BYD is better than Tesla cars Are you aware of the recent issues with BYD and other Chinese EV brands? Entire dealerships have gone up in flames from dangerous vehicles. Not lone incidents but tens of dealerships at least, in just this month. Tesla cars may have flaws but there is no way a BYD can be compared to them even on the basics. And Tesla’s software is simply way better and makes it clear that it was designed by a competent tech company not an old car company. Other brands aren’t on that level yet.

Here's one: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2544ndvkepo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2544ndvkepo ( Although no brand is given and it's a " possibly " on being caused by an EV ) Can you provide links to 19 more such incidents this month? Cheers.

    the main source i can find that seems to be the origin for "10 BYD dealerships burned since 2021" (carscoop) references this article: https://www.ntdtv.com/b5/2024/05/16/a103881785.html https://www.ntdtv.com/b5/2024/05/16/a103881785.html (which actually lists 11 minus the most recent) translation seems to be mostly accurate, but i can't be arsed into researching the locations listed. but yes, tens of dealerships per month seems like a bit of an exaggeration

    Sorry I don’t have a news source, but saw it mentioned in social media. It’s basically a daily occurrence in recent times is my recollection, and often the investigation is done by the offending car company itself rather than public officials, usually resulting in them pointing fingers at something else (like “bad charger”).
