Exactly, somebody using power tools can do a lot more in an hour than somebody using manual tools. That is the real discount.

Classic clickbait. They are retiring Falcon 9 as they plan to replace it with Starship (which BTW will eventually take astronauts to the moon). And Mars is soon to follow.

Not really, kind of like Uber doesn't buy its own cars. The CyberCab owner provides the capital and parking spot and some maintenance, while Tesla takes a cut, just like Uber does. I'd be happy to have my car earn money for me while I'm away at office or away on a business trip.

Texas is beating California by a large margin when it comes to solar due to bureaucratic red tape and "environmental" review in California along with monopolistic utility companies, which have successfully lobbied against solar by removing net metering and adding in extra solar connection charges.

Did you read the article:"...that his lawsuits had been filed too late."

Anybody read the article:"...that his lawsuits had been filed too late."

That is why only SpaceX/X.ai has the true advantage...

Thirty years after Windows 95? How about focusing on AI or Starlink to reduce dependence now?

Weird headline: Japanese carmakers are doing the same error, while Tesla (an American company) is the one of the leading electric carmakers... I'd just replace it with Legacy Carmakers (e.g. Ford, GM, Toyota and so on).

Just in time for robots to take those $30 per hour jobs away...by 2030. Might as well increase the the minimum wage to $300.

Tax payer paid childcare is known for its low quality. There was an article in The Economist about it.

How time passes! I remember touring the RHIC tunnels back in 1999 when it was being made.

Their sales have been flat for a while and the design outdated. I wonder if CyberTruck will be next. The only way they can salvage CT is if they either reduce cost or do a redesign.

It also came in almost double the promised price. AWD costs $80K vs $50K as promised. In comparison Model 3 and Model Y pricing is bang on!

Crazy that it was just this year that Mark Rober posted his infamous video showing a Tesla getting fooled by a painting, and praising Luminar (causing the stock to jump by 30%)...

Agreed, we should have ATM machines pay taxes, and internet pay taxes for replacing stockbrokers and travel agents...

But ignores the safety aspect of #1 killer: cars (for people below the age of 50).

I miss the old days when one could just walk into the shareholder meeting in the Computer History Museum. Too bad TSLA moved to Texas.

I was fortunate enough to take his Quantum Mechanics class when I was a student at SUNY, Stony Brook. He used to a drive a simple white Honda Accord that was 7+ years old.

Godspeed (or naturespeed for atheists)! Starship is my only hope for ever being able to go to space (assuming that they can bring the costs down).

I hope they expand these other areas with theirs solar canopies for charging and servers on roller skates. I can't wait to be served popcorn by a robot.

And now Starlink is down as well. I wonder if they are related.

I miss the good old days when the credit card companies had no issues with Playboy or Hustler.

I love having the big 15 inch in my Tesla. Great for maps, watching Netflix or gaming while charging.

The reality is the Ford can't even compete with Tesla on EVs from a profit margin point of view. Working with Waymo would allow Ford to survive for a few more years, at which point Waymo would probably merge or buy Ford. In the long run, Waymo needs to be vertically integrated like Tesla/Apple.

It'll be great for the remote places like the Himalayas or the eastern states.

Their products are too reliable. My M1 MacBook is still going great after 4 years. My iPad Pro from 2018 is showing its age, but still has another couple of years of life left.

Oldie but a goodie!

Nissan, Honda & eventually Toyota are going to go the way of Nokia/Motorola after iPhone came out. Cheap and reliable Chinese EVs will take over the market (like Android), while Tesla will probably maintain a halo premium product like iPhone.

Tesla FSD (Supervised Self Driving) is arguably a robot with fast precise responses, in a computationally constrained environment. This is using a similar end to end neural net architecture and is being generalized to their Optimus robot.
