What's the consensus on this? I feel like the packaging and heat dissipation issues need some work. Its much harder to fly electronics on a big noisy rocket tha

Musk is doing what he's always done: making outrageous promises/predictions that won't come true but sound like science fiction to lure the uneducated into investing. * The hardware is outdated quickly and putting it in space just makes it impossible to replace or service. * Dissipating the heat generated is a real problem that limits the hardware you can put in one satellite. * Satellites will always have greater latency and worse bandwidth than land-based connections.

"From a technology standpoint, Tesla will have a car that can do full autonomy in about three years, maybe a bit sooner." --- Musk, 2015 "I mean, it does look like [full autonomy is] gonna happen this year." --- Musk, 2023 "I think [FSD] will be available for unsupervised personal use by the end of this year in certain geographies." --- Musk, 2025

    Buying a Tesla would earn you money as you could rent it out as a cab! And when not driving around you could rent out its computational ability to form a mesh super computer!

      Musk thinks people are stupid enough to believe this. And sadly, he's right in a lot of cases.

It's a bold claim, a few years distant, by Elon Musk. Just on that alone you can pretty much assume "definitely bullshit".
