Sadly in the past quarter, their cancellations are a higher number than their delivered cars...

Full stop. You seem pretty certain. How do you explain what's happening in the US (particularly in California)? Are you saying infrastructure currently does not support or won't in the future?

Toyota engineers just acknowledged that their teardown of a Model Y "revealed a work of art". Toyota. If my 17,000 shares make me delusional, so be it, friend.

I just tried to draw exactly the same thing. I'm no artist, so I thought a house, a tree, the sun and some clouds were my best bet (like I drew when I was 5; now 55). :-)

Umm, no. I tried their Drive Pilot L3 system in Germany over the Christmas holidays (MB EQS) and of 8 hours driving, it was only available for me to drive for 12 minutes (and not a continuous 12 minutes, either). Granted this does not mean

I would suggest reading all the disclaimers and screens one has to review (or skip, at their own peril) in order to actually get access to FSD Beta. You would likely not believe a Class Action lawsuit is a cakewalk if you read those screens

I've used it in Germany over the Christmas holidays. In 8 hours of driving it was only available for 12 minutes.

I beta test regularly in Vancouver BC on my Model S LR. My experience is the polar opposite to yours. It's surprising (on the good side) and has improved immensely in the past 12 months. It does not need to be rethought imo. Obviously

Perhaps "certified AI-free" zones/apps/websites will become a place of solace.

Feels like the battle between computer virus creators and anti-virus software all over again.

What about introducing a new code of ethics that students sign? They agree to disclose the level of help (1 - 10) provided by GPT and the teacher/instructor/prof grades accordingly. Silly?

Made me sad, too. Please remember that you can NEVER (and I hate using absolutes) find real happiness in the actions of others, or from any other external source. Never. I am 55 and have learned this the hard way and through studying the te

Suicide? How tragic. I feel for the family and the spectacle of it all. Between this and the person who drove his family off a 200-ft cliff -- is it coincidence?

Yes. This incentive applies only to the US. Only for December. Only on certain variants of Model 3 and Y. All thanks to people unwilling to take delivery in December due to IRA kicking in on January 1, 2023.

I'm one of those people. Running FSD Beta in my Model S Plaid in BC. And your negative connotation doesn't apply to me or many/most of the other beta testers with whom I'm regularly communicating.

"I think that spacetime is an emergent phenomenon of something that has no dimensions." I actually think that's a helpful statement. If you read/watch Bernardo Kastrup or Don Hoffman, this is in line with how they presen

With Twitter usage apparently climbing, why is this important? Is the general assumption that Musk is ruining or wrecking Twitter accurate?

Perhaps the brain of the "fainter" is mistakenly interpreting the blood as its own (that of its own body)?

My opinion... they are going to drive down costs through economies of scale. Musk and Shotwell want to continue to drive donw the cost of getting payload to orbit.

Amazing advice and feedback here -- I'll be sure to share the thread with him later (midterm exams today!).

Ya, he's tried both and definitely prefers on site (at this stage).

Great insight, thank you!

"Mud brushing" their skirts for hours. Ah, the things we are convinced to do from a social expectation standpoint. In terms of what she saw on the streets of London -- mud and fog -- my understanding is that London rarely sees fog

Features, sure. Common use cases solved by the features, even better.

Not that they shouldn't address quality issues that persist over many cars, but the demand curve and customer satisfaction ratings suggest Tesla doesn't need to focus heavily on class-leading quality (yet).

Fascinating threads in there... like discussions about the Challenger explosion and whether or not the tragedy was actually a tragedy (or a spark for a new Atari game).
