They can definitely be both. Before Teslas were ubitquitous as they are now, they got all sorts of gawkers at the local car meets. Even at the EV shows now, Tesla owners still go around and look at the dozen(s) of other models that show up.

They do indeed have the disclaimer when you opt-in to the Autopilot features. And while it wasn’t always the case, nowadays when an emergency vehicle is detected (flashing lights), the car pops up with some sort of “emergency vehicle detected” message and slows the car down, unless you press the accelerator to…

Sadly many states already have the EV registration tax. Even in my purple state of New Hampshire, we have a $100/yr EV tax. And it’s absurdly high too, not just even with what a comparable gas car would pay. I did the math, and at average miles they’re taxing an EV as if it got 25.7 MPG. Since I am a hybrid-employee…

A banger of a morning roundup, Owen.

That’s basically Waymo present day anyway, and they’re getting away with it. Technically they still have a steering wheel, but fare passengers are not allowed to sit in the driver’s seat and definitely not allowed to touch the steering wheel. You sit in the back seat and basically they have Tesla’s center screen but…

I get the point though but really the same could be said about humans. If you have any death with technology, the technology gets blamed, and in a part rightly so. I guess my opinion is that as long as it isn’t worse than a human then it’s an acceptable risk. Five years ago I couldn’t believe people were actually…

From some quick Googling, Waymo has 2,500 people and 700 vehicles (3.5:1 ratio, but of course at least half of the employees are not teleoperators, they’re developers, management, etc). Unsure if they’ve specifically stated their ratio but I see some Reddit threads claiming it is 10 cars per 1 teleoperator.

The Cybertruck this article is about is not a Cyberbeast, which is one of my main points. The launch price of the Cybertruck AWD was $100k. It sold for $85k on Bring-A-Trailer. That’s 25%, not 38% depreciation.

So your argument is that the $1 billion per mile, which is the standard for subway tunnels, is less expensive than The Boring Company’s claimed $10 million per mile? TBC is theoretically a 99% savings, which is why Las Vegas is so crazy about it.

From your link:

I didn’t say I was a fan of everything he’s done. I’m a fan of the science his companies have helper further.

Mis-quoted.

Zero.

So then disregard the 8%, but the 25% is still valid. The 38% is a complete fabrication because they used a made up MSRP that was $20,000 too high (or likely what happened is that they were talking about teh tri-motor when this is just a dual-motor).

Please point out the lie.

Cars&Bids shows all their sold listings. $7,500-$14,500 discount from original new price but still $5,500-$12,500 above brand new present day MSRP.

Not an Elon Musk fan. The misinformation on this site is way out of hand.

A Foundation Series Cybertruck recently sold on Bring A Trailer for $75,000, which based on the original MSRP of around $120,000 marks an already significant 38 percent loss in just one year of ownership.
