Fake it until you make it + Move fast and break dance = Tesla Bot (beta) release in 6 months If it ends up murdering you in your sleep, well humans commit a lot more murders than robots, so it's still safer.

I assume this kind of behavior helps with the "Elon" brand surrounding his companies, but it just feels so overdone, unnecessary, and, as another person said in this thread, cringeworthy. I saw the iPod nano announcement clip this morning, where Steve Jobs has a camera zoom in on his jeans pocket, talks about how the Mini fit in you regular pocket, then pulled the Nano out of his coin pocket. It's a little silly and got a laugh, but it had a purpose. It showed how small the iPod was and felt, maybe not natural, but at least tasteful.

  I mean I got a laugh. I like it

  Sure, but the iPod nano was a great product weeks from being in customers' hands. This is a recruiting event for a decade+ project to do something that hasn't been done before.

In five years, Tesla bot version 1.0 will be a Tesla-brand gig-work slave wearing that silly robot suit. In ten years, they'll still be working on the robotic version 2.0, which they will be perpetually promising to release "next year."

That was hilarious, the way they gave a nod to asimo walking up stairs, the perfect cheesy dubstep music, then the cringe dance... what balls haha. If people can't laugh at this then what the hell

I said this in another comment, but how do they get away with it? People are in this very thread making serious comments like Tesla has even a thread of a chance of actually doing this… I’d love it if Boston Dynamics recreates this dance with Atlas.

  Risky, but maybe it would even be good PR to try to match the dance and see the robot fall over just to point out how far they actually have come in 30 years.

  > I’d love it if Boston Dynamics recreates this dance with Atlas. If Boston Dynamics can recreate the dance, why couldn't Tesla? This is a serious question, as far as I can tell it would only require time and money which Tesla does have.

This tops the Cybertruck introduction where they broke the bulletproof glass. It's hard to imagine this is not a jump-the-shark moment for Tesla.
- nickik 5y ago
  The glass was not supposed to be built prove, maybe work on your listing comprehension. Also, if you throw a ball like that against a normal glass on a truck it might go threw and kill you. The Cybertruck class stopped it and would have saved your live but I guess fuck them for making a saver vehicle. And the guy in the suit was clearly a joke, unbelievable the hissy fit people are throwing over this.
