This is Tesla, office workers will soon find themselves working in a tent.
- lr 4y agoWhy not WFT: Work From (a) Tesla? Of course, it would have to be, "at the office," (read, parking lot) otherwise the worker would get fired.
- sitkack 4y agoAnd since the Teslas are self driving, they can just roam the public roads while people work, an endless TS (Tesla Stream) cycling between two superchargers.
- steeleyespan 4y agoI remember when we were going to have FSD in 1 year, 10 years ago.
- johannes1234321 4y agoYou mean they can ride through the office building, pass the managers desk, who can check the work.
- sitkack 4y agoHave a Manager Booth halfway between the two charging stations for checkins, in addition to video calls. Biobreaks (exercise, waste removal, nutrition ingestion) can happen during charging if the Teslas remain unmodified. I just realized that the Tesla could eject the worker a couple miles before the charging station, calculating the workout and charge duration so that the employee would have to run at the correct rate to retrieve their car before it was done charging. The vehicle could self clean while empty on the way to the charging station. I can't think of any downsides to this. Exciting times for the future of work!
- greesil 4y agoWe wondered how the open office plan could get worse. Now, we wonder no more!

- lupire 4y agoWhy isn't the manager station at the charging station?
- daniel-cussen 4y agoThat actually is a really good idea, they'll figure out problems real quick that way. Very very good idea. EDIT: If your job in Tesla is on the line proposing working out of a Tesla is your best bet to save it.
- somehnacct3757 4y agoI fully expected to see this in SF eventually. Wifi equipped buses set up like coffee shops that drive around SF all day. Cheaper than commercial real estate, at the time. I'm sure COVID has changed the calculus considerably.
- iancmceachern 4y agoThey do this with billboards. It's somehow cost effective to have a big truck that is nothing but a rolling billboard drive around the city all day. By definition that means that it's cheaper or somehow better than a fixed billboard on real estate.
- Victerius 4y agoTbh I wouldn't mind "working" out of a tent for a few weeks if the "office" was located in a natural area and the whole affair was more of a company-sponsored camping "workation" where half the day was spent doing outdoor activities.
- duped 4y agoWhat if the tent was in a parking lot in Fremont during fire season
- frumper 4y agoI hear Austin is lovely this time of year.

- katbyte 4y agoI’m kitting out my truck with solar and batteries now that starlink has roaming and rv pricing so I can literally drive up mountains and camp by glacier lakes while working.
- dlsa 4y agoMusk should dig a pit. A pit. An office in a pit. In the the ground. In a pit. Pit office. Office pit. Yes. In a pit.
