Not true at all. Exits and switching lanes all require confirmation from the drivers in other cars, not in Teslas on FSD

This. Just because something should exist, doesn't mean it can be created today. The effort to build and attract open source projects is a monumental task. Unless you're offering something BIG - there's alot of inertia to o

When you say "we need" do you mean... "you want to see" ? The highest selling vehicles are trucks and so the company that makes the best selling car wants in. Seems logical and good for the industry

Exactly ! The social stuff requires a network effect... hilarious that the makers of Facebook bet their chips on the same bet as their existing products. Apple knows it doesn't need groups of people to use this together, just enough ea

I'd bet that Ford is the only legacy American brand that will make it to 2033. And it's because of their heavy investment to manufacture more and not just assemble - great to see it happen

Better towing, lower maintenance... seems like ICE vehicles are going to need the government subsidy if anyone will even want them

Less efficient inverters, worse aerodynamics, weaker motors, heavier interiors, and probably worse software (that one is an educated guess).

Recall = Over the Air Update. Not nothing, but not as big as CNBC is making it out to be.

In 2017 it was relatively empty... but the company filled it very quickly as it grew from 200 to 2000 people. So much so they leased out the building next door and tore down some walls to deal with capacity. Sad to hear it's being shut

Worrying yes, but i think it's required. KYC laws in the US mandate a 5 year retention AFTER the account is closed: https://bsaaml.ffiec.gov/manual/Appendices/17 > A bank must retain the identifying inform

This was such a help when selling to Enterprises!

Energy products. Megapacks are sold out for 12 months in advance right now and the queue is getting bigger.

Markets are irrational in the short term for sure, but very good allocators of capital long term. re: Twitter Price is just the last transaction to clear and the buyers can make that transaction for a million reasons, some of them betting t

Same. but not for the reason of mining rights. They definitely have long term contracts for their own production secured but are a long ways from cornering that market. I think the energy side of their business is about to grow tremendously

"Shutting down factories" is the not the same as slowing production. Tesla is expanding their production since they are wildly profitable.
20.
by joewadcan 4y ago
I'd bet against that. Tesla is flush with cash, zero debt, and growing revenue annually more that most Fortune 100 companies. They are very profitable without any subsidies and still have a 28% profit margin on the cars they sell

They are reliable enough to use for FSD: https://youtu.be/hx7BXih7zx8 so i think it's reliable enough for park assist, summon etc. Yeah you're def right about the moisture sealing... it's been hit or miss on

by joewadcan 4y ago
Yeah i think that's probably gonna happen here too, hence their "at this time" language.

by joewadcan 4y ago
Because if the hardware isn't available they can't deliver the car and recognize the revenue. They can wait, but if they're gonna remove it anyway it lets them make more cars with less costs in shorter time. Seems logical if

by joewadcan 4y ago
Agreed. "Parity" doesn't mean in all cases, it means in the majority of cases and this seems like a edge case (where 2 car lengths isn't good enough).

They specifically call that out in the doc. "At this time, we do not plan to remove the functionality of ultrasonic sensors in our existing fleet."

FSD is just the software component, so it doesn't change anything. FSD is still optional

Tesla cameras have sizeable overlap, so if one is obstructed it tries to extract the information from the others. If it can't then it tells you to clean the cameras. It's not perfect but it's better for them (Tesla) and hopef

People have already mentioned all the technical aspects, or blamed capitalism... but I really think it's just the best fit for the benefits that software delivers. It provides lower barriers to try for consumers and higher long term re

This was pretty disappointing. To see FreedomFi not own up to the fact that 4g vs 5g is misleading... with their excuse that everyone else is doing it.

I think you're misreading. HNT was the original token and was a new chain. Data credits are just how the outside world burns those credits at a fixed price, so that they don't need to know about crypto. Not a token. And Nova Labs
