Everything about this project is stupid. He wants to sell expensive robots to do menial tasks. It is ridiculous. Much better robots exist for car manufacture (or any manufacture) that having two-legged ones stomp about, having to use and recharge batteries and never being able to get the precision of installed robots, …

Sure theses robots will replace workers, but workers will get higher skilled jobs like a factory worker who has to wear a robot costume while they work.

I read the headline and pictured some robot picking up a complaining Tesla worker, throwing them away and replacing with a more subservient one 

“We can also build real shit, motherfucker. Have fun picking up them eggs!”

I was thinking the same, it seems like they made it that long just to say it’s that long without any actual benefits

Yay, twice as many swirls!

We got a 235 foot paint scratcher/swirl maker 5000 here.

Came here to ask this exact question — if “paying attention” and “hands on the wheel” are prereqs, how is “autopilot” any diff than just regular ole’ driving?

I had a Chevy dealer attempt to charge $1200 for dealer prep. After digging at them they revelaed this included a pin stripe down the side of the car and nitrogen in the tires.....that already came from the factory with nitrogen in them....which is a scam in itself. They literally tried to scam the scam and cover it…

What should be controlled through a touchscreen, nothing, leave the computer screen at home.

And that’s the actual problem: It is not safe to use it as anything but a glorified cruise control and lane assist. Your “benefit” of not using it properly means you endanger not only the occupants in your Tesla, but everyone else on the road.

All of them. Hope that helps. 

Good lawd here it comes: “we not a car company, we are tech company!” 

But the ice was gone though

I literally stared at the word for a good 20 seconds trying to figure out how to pronounce it.  That’s a really bad sign.

Or maybe, per the linked article, it was January 4th in Colorado and probably a lot icy

This lawyer has a plaque on her office that says “Building paid for by Incompetent Police Officers”

You have watched too many Carvana commercials. 

A fleet of cars is an asset but one that depreciates at a predictable rate with normal wear & tear. When you own a fleet of 100,000 or more cars it’s all a numbers game for the bean counters.

The problem is the depreciated cost of the Teslas has made an outsized impact on the companies’ financial projections (e.g. they expected the Teslas to hold their value and that Elon wouldn’t tank their pricing and thus their used value) and they’re getting rid of these (now) liabilities.
