It matters if it's sustainable, but having products in the pipeline adds to capital and that can help things out in the short term.
Tesla's done very expensive EVs -> home/utility PV/storage -> moderately expensive EVs -> FSD (really ADAS) -> Semi/cyber truck so far.
Besides decreasing costs/ramping/improving what they have so far, my guess is they're they're moving to the FSD taxi/model 2/Optimus next.
I suspect Nvidia will try a similar approach to AI hardware/software.
- ein0p 2y agoAs of the latest update FSD is not yet FSD, but it’s _way_ more than ADAS. Underestimate it at your own peril. It behaves like an experienced, if too timid, driver.
- omgwtfbyobbq 2y agoYeah, 12.3+ is pretty good. It handles 80-90% of my mileage, and the majority of the time I take over because it's too slow. The only place where it's worse than earlier versions is yellow lights. I'm going to dl/try 12.4 tomorrow. Being able to move from FSD to optimus to whatever comes next is where Tesla can really shine.
- omgwtfbyobbq 2y agoIt's also wild to me that it appears to understand driving mostly in the context of other vehicles/people. FSD on city streets is as good as if not better than EAP was on highways in 2019. Doing all this at +/-200wh/mile is pretty good too. I remember when (2000-2008?) people claimed it wouldn't be viable to get an EV below 500wh/mile.
