Perhaps at a higher altitude?

Building a prototype is the easy (and fun) part. Scaling production is much harder. https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-says-building-fact...

EV acceleration is directly proportional to how much current you can pull out of the battery pack, which is directly proportional to the number of battery cells, which is directly proportional to overall range... On paper, yes those numbers are feasible.

The Tesla truck will almost certainly beat them to mass market. Look how long it took Tesla to scale up production -- the Model S shipped in 2013. It wasn't until 2018 that Tesla built their 200,000th vehicle. Rivian hasn't yet shipped a single truck to customers; they're in for a long and difficult road ahead building out their production lines.

All that said I do hope Rivian is successful. I would absolutely buy an electric pickup truck.

It is a pretty entertaining book.

Eric was great. I always watched his town hall live streams. He's incredibly charismatic and always offered a lot of detail about his thinking.

I know. Do it! You don't have anything to lose.

Can you cite a source for vehicle purchasing on hold?

> They can’t even get the thing to work on simple trips

Clearly it does work for simple trips.

Decades out? Here's a real world report. https://www.reddit.com/r/SelfDrivingCars/comments/ab2nqe/way...

Even with gas that cheap you're paying $0.06 per mile (30 mpg). At $0.2/kWh you're only paying $0.04 per mile.

You can get a 2 door 6ft bed Tacoma. It does have "back seats" but nobody's going to want to ride in them for more than 10 minutes. You can also get an F150 with just two seats and a 6.5ft bed. But yeah, physically, any pickup today is significantly bigger than one made in the 80s or 90s.

Also, Baidu is completely in the pocket of the Chinese government. They are happy to censor anything and everything they're asked. Google is not beholden in this way and will censor the minimum amount possible.

I have to agree with this. Some search is better than no search. Not everything can be censored and people WILL find information they are not supposed to find, just with more digging than in the rest of the world. Saying that Google should not provide any search product in China is shortsighted and purely ideological.

Which Elon project has failed?

  I think it's generally understood he went to LA in part to kick start his post playing career.

I'm curious about this, do you know of any good reading?

If you read further down the page it says this Dodger loop will be their first test track, to replace a previously proposed test track in Sepulveda. It's not meant to make money, it's to prove it works. The money will be made in future systems.

Today's recovery was at night.

It does not, because the 2nd amendment protects arms, not munitions (for example, bombs).

This should not be downvoted. YouTube does not have a viable competitor because serving video is incredibly expensive.

Edit: This is being downvoted as well. Downvoted is for off-topic or inflammatory comments, not for comments you disagree with. If you disagree, leave a comment and explain why!

Yes I always get a good laugh watching the Cruise cars trying to drive. They are not smooth and do weird things that a human driver would only do when drunk.

I think you're right, and I bet Tesla will try to compete with the 5 series/E class and not the 7/S. Model S won't have to come down in price very much to fit in with 5/E. Maybe it will lack fit and finish, but it will have much better acceleration and cargo room (and the Tesla brand, and the domestic badge). The Model S will remain pretty competitive in the market.

I'm sorry, what makes Google so "deeply unethical?"

99% of the affected channels make less than $100 per year. I don't think most of these types of videos are made with a plan to make money. I think people like making videos explaining things they understand.

Those skills which led you to master programming will enable you solve countless problems the apocalypse will bring.

I don't. I just see the name on my credit card statement. Sorry!
