For FSD, Elon is a master hype man and absolutely awful at understanding the complexity of areas outside his expertise. FSD, the "Alien Dreadnought" factory failure, $30k Model 3, cargo to Mars in 2022, etc. Those of us in the trenches of the autonomous car space usually have much more realistic timelines (and hardware requirements).
- njarboe 4y agoMaybe true, but you never make the shots you don't take. Space-X has had a reusable orbital booster for almost a decade and no one else has built one yet. Tesla continues to ramp up production of the 3 and Y at 50% year over year. Next year they will likely produce over 2 million cars. The run rate at the end of this year will be about that. Once wait times for Model 3/Y orders are eliminated you might see the $30k model 3 (inflation adjusted) in a year or two. Tesla margins are large and cost reduction are continuous. It would be silly for them to price them that cheap right now and just give resellers all of that profit. "Doing the impossible behind schedule"
