That’s probably the best option available. If they could just redesign it to make it a bit more attractive and throw some marketing behind it, I bet they would sell a lot better.

Well I thought that part of it was so painfully obvious that it didn’t need to be mentioned, but that’s just me over-estimating people’s intelligence again.

Barely anyone needs that kind of range, and eventually the EV charging network will catch up that will make 500 mille range a ton of wasted battery and weight inefficiency. It’s like building cars with 30 gallon fuel tanks.

Well for starters, $30,900 is not sub-$30k.

Just a private jet vacation and a loan to be forgiven at a later date.

It can’t drive any more, so I agree!

Don’t worry. they’ll all be fired and replaced completely by SpaceX when Trump appoints Musk to whatever fake unconstitutional job he gives him next year.

I’m sure there are a number of people who are crazy enough to sign up for that one way trip just to say they did it and get their name in a history book forever..

Who needs to approve it?

I mean, he could send a rocket there. That’s been done many times. But the idea that it will totally stick the landing and return the first time is pretty far fetched. And whoever is willing to sign up for that trip 2 years later after only one successful landing that could have been sheer luck does not value their…

TL:DR Musk wants to spending trillions to build a habitable city on the completely inhabitable environment of Mars rather than make relatively modest changes to how we treat our completely habitable earth to keep it habitable.

You all don’t understand. The reason this is relevant to the RFK Jr. post and relevant to increasing lifespan is because Musk isn’t talking to you and I, the average Joe’s of the world. He’s talking to about about the mega-wealthy, who will build their perfect utopia cities on Mars while they leave us lowlifes on…

The ultimate ideal autonomous driving is one where all of the vehicles operate in a hive-mind. For example, cars won’t even need to come to a stop because each car will time their arrival at the intersection exactly when the intersection is open to them passing through safely.

You’re clearly thinking way too hard about this.

Yes I would care because I don’t want the cab to get into a accident and delay my trip.

That’s the dumbest thing I ever read because every human drives differently... not only fromo ther humans but also from themselves.

And that’s why humans allegedly have more accidents.

Isn’t the whole argument about the software is that it’s supposed to drive BETTER than humans???

I was all excited to hear about automakers starting to wise up and make a sub-$30k car without all the extra electronics and a more modest battery capacity...

Some answers just make sense.
