> Would they buy them again? Probably not but thats because of politics.

That’s the article’s point.

Politics, FSD overpromises, Elon, whatever the reason.

Tesla deliveries are down and people aren’t coming back.

> during the period where they decided on this disastrous and dangerous vision-only approach that has resulted in multiple deaths

To be fair, it was a direct decision from Elon due to covid supply chain shortages of radar and ultrasonic sensors. Not from engineers (as is common at Elon companies)

But Andrej deserves some of the blame because he was too busy sucking on the $TSLA stock teat to say anything

> why would I buy from the same place after they already lied to me before?

You are smarter than the repeat Tesla buyer.

> the guy who was running their autopilot program back when the sage "fully autonomous in one year" predictions kicked of their 15+ year long run

To be fair, if I’m being paid $10 million/year, I’ll make any damn prediction my boss tells me to make

> This is something that will happen.

Not in our lifetime.

The iPhone came out less than 20 years ago.

And what, you scan QR codes at restaurants with iphones?

> the concerned citizenry is flipping the bill for the devices, network connectivity and electricity. Fascinating

Not everyone in America favors privacy.

Many Americans do NOT want privacy for them nor others.

I’m one of them.

I opted-in to this new feature on the Ring app this week. It’s not live yet, but I’m excited to help hunt down criminals.

False positives, yes. But it’s worth it (let the people decide if worth it, even if most voters are uninformed, otherwise it’s dictatorship)

> AGI is already here.

cause elon musk says FSD is coming in 2017?

> Edit: extra LOL at creating the account to criticize and then downvote facts in the reply.

Not me, I made this account 7 days ago. Check my history.

> And then you wonder about the obesity crisis.

And for the record:

I don’t give a shit about the obesity crisis.

Or any other drug, mental health, crime, or demographic problem facing any country.

I only care about the number on my bank statement.

Well, my private equity partner accounts, but you get my point.

> No, half of American households make more than that, and a typical household has 2.5 people.

And 2.5 Americans per household will say “they make more than that”

Kids say “my dad is rich” and wives say “we make $70k/month”

> And then you wonder about the obesity crisis.

China has drone food delivery. Lower profits than American delivery.

China ain’t obese.

Try again.

> America is rich as fuck dog

Literally this.

Median household income in America is US$8,000 per month.

Half of Americans make MORE than that.

> This business model essentially makes sure all the surviving ones are those who can get by on the lowest profits.

And what’s wrong with “lowest profit”?

If that equates to lower quality, you as a customer are free to select the more expensive restaurant on DoorDash.

Airlines have tiny profit (single digit $ per passenger) yet there’s no sympathy for them.

So “big greedy corporation” vs “mom and pop shop” is the core reason, yeah?

> I'd prefer the overhead to show up as its own line item, rather than obscuring the actual cost of the service.

While that’s what you prefer, the market (most other users, including whale spenders) doesn’t care to know the actual cost.

> Countries/Universities will let you off where you're coming from a country that has english as it's main language

Singapore is a “native” English speaking country yet has an extremely distinctive accent.

(usually seen as a negative by both Singaporeans and non-Singaporeans)

> Other car manufacturers make robots? I didn't know.

No shit they make robots.

Toyota also has a machine that builds the machine. Tesla is not special in that regard.

Oh, you mean humanoid robots. I’m guessing you purchased FSD? How’s that going? One day. The future. Believe. The. Hype.

Pay the ransom, hackers then sell the data privately

Don’t pay the ransom, hackers release a subset to the public for free, then sell the rest privately

Good on Quantas for not negotiating, bad on them for shit security.

> This is not just a phrase, it is a DNS entry. Using the most evil in phrases of digital sovereignty.

damn, this guy don’t fuck around. respect

> Advent of FATCA means it's hell for normal Americans to bank overseas.

> But people with money notice.

skill issue.

you need more money.

> Does this mean the dollar is down, or os this more of a flight to safety?

both

> But waymo does not operate nearly at the same degree as what Tesla FSD aspires to (anywhere, anytime).

I aspire to be a trillionaire. Does that count for anything?

> While a good amount of functionality exists, the liability model and accidents are big road blocks to seeing this technology truly mainstream, not just select cities/routes/etc

Waymo just started service at SFO airport last month.

What’s your definition of mainstream? Everywhere anytime like an Uber?
