“I don’t understand the villification of a pretty down to earth Billionaire compared to what else we have to live with, like Jeff Bezos or Trump.”

This fascinates me, there must be some sort of decision making process.

Given the local tax base, I’m sure the Irvine PD has more money than they know what to do with. That’s no excuse for blowing it on a vehicle that has become to many an object of ridicule.

You were previously taking the soulless stucco empire of a deeply corrupt billionaire, plus its vacuous denizens and enforcers, seriously?

Even more interesting, I think some drivers actually aim for them

Agreed 100% let’s avoid the collision in the first place: let’s ban cars from cities and neighborhoods. Restrict their speeds by raising all crosswalks to sidewalk level and prioritize all pedestrian and cyclist movements over cars. Completely ban them from school zones. Give (back) people outside of cars plenty of…

You know cyclists were on all roads before cars became popular right? And just so you know, we cyclists have not yet relinquished our right to get around and use streets and roads.

I propose to Ban all SUV/Trucks from the Beach cities unless it’s interesting enough (ie classics or fun to look at so Broncos and G-wagons are safe). But all you other normies gotta park away and walk down! “Oh BuT i hAvE a FaMily”, well I forgot the part where that’s my problem. Think about it, the streets will feel…

Elon adds another dimension to his chess playing, his sycophants will say

‘They will get there i’m sure’

The way they’ve been going, I doubt very much that they’ll ever get there. Do you not remember Musk telling you that your car would become a robotaxi for free with no further upgrades or changes almost a decade ago?

> Among all that optimism, however, there’s an interesting prediction: Tesla will have a physical, semi-functional prototype of the Robotaxi on display

Or 44 billion?

A Grok of Sh!te

So in other words, they still don’t have it ready - but they need to get it out there to boost the share price in case the third quarter results are bad. 

I imagine there will be one “robo-taxi” there, that has been programmed to drive the specific course they have laid out in a parking lot. And that’s ALL it will be able to do. This is nothing but a scheme to pump up the stock. The SEC should investigate and, if that is indeed the case, fine Musk about a billion…

How much longer are investors going to continue propping up this company’s stock when the emperor shows again and again that he has no clothes?

I remember when people were less gullible and weird cults usually involved people in silver bedsheets waiting for space aliens to come and take them to the stars.

It really won’t be. The dream of fully automated vehicles with no change in infrastructure is completely unrealistic. If the vision is a future where you don’t have to drive yourself, trains and busses already exist. Update that tech and expand service.
