I read the article, and your hate is palpable. Was that your intent?

Not trying to be argumentative, but isn’t that what the beta designation is about? Some consumers may (despite the disclaimers to the contrary) overestimate the safety and capabilities of the beta feature, but is that a valid reason to not deploy it? I mean, we don’t really think of agile development in automotive…

I READ THE DAMN ARTICLE JASON.

Does it not drive the car itself? It requires the human to pay attention and be prepared to take over should the need arise because it’s still a very infantile system.

It is FSD though. They’re saying that it’s still in beta and shit can go wrong so be sure to pay the fuck attention to it.

Hard to say as this article was written to tell us what it doesn’t do, even though the writer doesn’t know either.

“Not to mention that it’ll be assembled by people who actually know how to build a car”

This is still a niche market, not based in reality.

Cybertruck top trim is $69,999 with a 500 mile range and 14,000 towing and 2.9s 0-60.

Everyone is comparing to Cybertruck.

But Cybertruck dual motor supposedly will start at $49k and have Tesla’s charging network. Top of the range Cybertruck will be $69k. I sincerely doubt this will do anything to Cybertruck sales. 

I think they can compete by A. existing for purchase and B. costing half.

The base model EV2 is twice the price of a base Cybertruck, and a fully tricked out Cybertruck with Autopilot and triple motors is still cheaper than the base model. I’m sure Tesla will be fine.

Did you see the price?

Please stop. I don’t care if you wear a mask or not. I’m not going to. Promote the contact tracing apps if you want to actually help. Get more states to implement it in their state. That is the ONLY way we’re going to slow this thing down. Masks have not been proven to do that. Nor have the lockdowns. Nor has social…

Raph, you need to join Erik in never again being allowed to talk about stocks.

“But dealers provide so much value by helping the customer navigate the scary and confusing car buying process”

The same thing was said about roads paved with wood. Evolution always has naysayers. But ideas beget ideas. Successful ideas aren’t always born from successful ones. Let the ideas flow, let evolution figure it out. Some stick, some don’t.
