how are people still falling for this shit! what do you think, Tesla is suddenly going to have roaming autonomous vehicles that operate as taxis? The very same Tesla who's autopilot keeps killing people? HMMMM????
Almost got killed crossing the road, in a crosswalk with a walk signal, by a distracted kid in a Tesla that jumped from 0-30 before I had a chance to leap out of the way. Lucky he swerved.
People still buy crypto despite it being a total obvious scam and money pit. In possibly related news, I can no longer find the lower setting on my expectations bar.
I still say the app isn't about some phantom robotaxi, but so Tesla can "deliver" more existing cars to itself that are then leased out to rideshare drivers. Sure, it'll lose money, but it'll allow them to keep those quarterly delivery numbers pumped.
If we kep throwing money into this hole, eventually it will pile up on top of all the other money we threw in the hole. Then we can use it as something to grab onto and pull all the money we threw into the hole and the treasure we assume is at the bottom out of the hole.
I had a suspicion that RoboTaxi wouldn’t actually be a product, just software/an app for existing Teslas.
Now I’m certain this is going to be sold to scumbags who rent 20 properties on AirBnb, and as some sort of transit alternative. It will be one of his biggest, and deadliest frauds to date.
The same FSD that has been stuck at level 2 functionality--where level 5 would be fully autonomous vehicles--for years while Waymo is at level 4 and other car companies are at level 3?
i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Elon is very good at impressing people who have no idea what they're investing in, beyond the baseline "i was told by other investors Elon Musk is a very smart leader"
We don't talk enough about the level to which a huge part of tech journalism and most mainstream tech journalism has become little more than re-writing press releases.
Tesla will have robo-taxis exactly the same time Elon mass distributes his brain implants. Tesla’s promise of their cheap Model 2 will show up alongside his Mars colony. Or when his ketamine supply runs out
