Not long ago Elon was saying the future of the company was riding on FSD working. Now they sell less and less cars each year and no one is licensing FSD. The future looks grim, its riding on non-existent products coming to market. However I am sure the stock will continue to go up.
It seems like a few choices Tesla (Elon) has made lately are explicitly to help Elon reach his compensation goals. They do not seem to benefit the consumer or Tesla.
Removing Autopilot (this puts the vehicles at a disadvantage to the competition)
Removing paying for FSD in full (fewer buying...
I got the Shocker Air Trailer Tongue Mount and a cheap Home Depot ball hitch in the truck.
Pro:
You can still open the tail gate
You don't have a huge hitch when not towing
Reduced stress on the truck and trailer
Cons:
It's attached to a single trailer
You need to fill in the air pressure...
Considering Tesla insurance is not the lowest available rate in my area, I wonder how low lemonade can go. Tesla already has FSD data and should be the same exact model as what lemonade is proposing.
Personally I've stopped using the big brother spy apps that insurance providers offer for a 10%...
Yeah but that is only Tesla that removes FSD. Gives them a chance to double-dip and sell FSD on the same car twice. Private sales, or non-Tesla dealerships will still have FSD attached to the vehicle.
I agree with you, but a subscription is already an option and people are not taking it. Why would removing an option for purchase increase the take rate? I dont get it.
Part of Elon's pay package goals include achieving 10 million active Full Self-Driving (FSD) subscriptions sustained over a three-month period. This change will help him reach that goal.
I would like to see the math on how a cancellable subscription is more profitable than prepaying 8 years of...
Congrats on the CT!
I recommend a DYI PPF wrap. It takes about 8 hours of your time. Its extremely easy with all flat surfaces. It costs under $2000 DYI, most shops will charge $6k-$7k. Make sure you go PPF over plain vinyl.
I bought from and recommend @TWRAPS twraps.com
It looks really great, and at 120k its not a bad deal considering what you get. I am building out a RV trailer right now and my cost of materials is getting close to 50k without the generator, off-road suspension, torque assist and remote control. Adding labor and R&D and the asking price isnt...
I am disappointed Tesla has taken this cost savings action. The cost difference to them must be in the single digit dollar range. Sorry OP.
If I were you I would very carefully cut a hole myself, plastic can be tricky to cut cleanly. Then 3D print or find a plug online. If you even need a plug...
Regarding the timeline. My estimate is 2030, and even then it will be very limited in its functionality. Home robotics is going to be a harder problem to solve than FSD. The advancements made in FSD and AI are going to help, but it is a far more complex problem to solve.
Vehicles have a more...
The Chinese companies are starting to show more promising robots than Optimus. But no one seems even close to a useful product. I feel they are wasting so much time on making humanoid robots, trying to perfect the balance and movement. Just give them wheels and focus on the AI of executing...
The owner claims it when into a unmitigated roll downhill. Brakes and regen were ineffective. They turned into the wall to avoid going faster and off a cliff. I cant imagine what would cause both brakes and regen to fail at the same time.
Edit: They stated in video that in offroad mode regen is...
I haven't taken them off for car washes and they have never come loose. Even the ones with the spinning brushes for the wheels. I would do it for off-roading though.
This is a big debate in AI right now. Should they let AIs answer with "I dont know"? Currently they are leaning towards rewarding AIs every time they answer, even if the answer is wrong. They call these responses hallucinations. This is what users prefer apparently.
It is possible for the...
Are you implying Tesla replaced the wheels because of the damage caused by the covers? I am pretty sure 100% of people using the covers have this damage.
I like the covers a lot, I don't mind the wheel looking like Freddy Krueger under them.
