But without those salaries, they wouldn't have been so successful!

I'd guess that some of that is just because there is limited overlap between teams. I doubt the team doing media would really be involved with AP. But I agree with your point. It is weird that they've focused on FSD on streets whe

The funny thing is that parking like that really is a lot harder than driving down the road at 65 mph, especially for a limited set of cameras and a fairly limited NN.

I think the context was prototyping.

I partially agree. My only issue with them is that the documentation is a little more hidden than I'd like. Their install is basically a tl;dr of an installer. That's great! It'd be nice if it also pointed me directly to a re

Yeah, and semi was only mentioned once. Tesla is a weird company. They have a lot of little side projects that seem to have potential, but only a few projects that get enough focus to really make it to market. They've been able to get

They've said that the next car will initially be built in Texas, but will later also be built at other plants, including Mexico.

I'm not sure where you got the numbers for the others, but Tesla's are easy to find: https://ir.tesla.com/press-release/tesla-vehicle-production-... 1.8M for 2023. Noone outside of China is particularly close

They don't become bricks in cold weather. The reports were true, there were broken chargers, lots of stuck uber drivers, and lots of people stuck behind them too. What it left out were the majority of drivers who started their day with

The actual video was hilarious. It was obvious the crew had been doing a lot of filming and was in a very tired, silly mood.

I think this is failing at accountability and achieving something more like empty criticism. If it was only a balanced commentary on the pros & cons of public funding for these things, I'd be more inclined to like it. TBH, there&#x

True, but nothing about this stops someone from having their own cameras and selecting for themselves. The part that this restricts is the police selecting for themselves. So which do you trust less, the abusive partner or the police? That&

On the east coast, there's been a trend to larger, well-list stations with clean restrooms and much better food than ye ole hot dog roller. A stop like that is perfect for DCFC, especially when open 24 hours.

Yeah, I saw a video recently where an EVGo stall was down because someone had reported a cracked connector. They are pretty quick to just disable things until they can have it inspected, and this can be the case even when the other cable mi

There are issues if they get placed too close to the amenities in busy lots. People will block them while not charging. But you are right that it has sometimes swung too far the other way. I've seen struggling food courts like that whe

Kind of? They are software upgradable, and I get the feeling that software upgrades are fairly common. They also have recently had upgrades to support the upcoming NACS->CCS adapters as well as to natively support NACS enabled cars. They

I'm confused. If you are being falsely accused, wouldn't you want video evidence? Otherwise it becomes one person's word vs another, which often comes with its own biases (first to call the police wins, better lawyer wins, et

To some extent, we've developed a system that rewards people for being able to pump the stock. It isn't always a bad thing, but it seems to be going pretty badly for most SPACs.

Good point, there are some stations that support magic dock now. There are even a couple of those in California.

In the most recent quarter, Chargepoint had $367M in cash and cash equivalents. These large compensation packages suck a surprising amount of working capital out of businesses that already do not have huge runways. I'd expect better re

by _ea1k 3y ago
It is astonishing how much money has been doled out to executives at these charging companies, while the company fundamentals have been extremely weak. It is hard to justify compensation packages like that.

Yeah, if someone commits a crime at my neighbor's house, I appreciate that there's an easy way to collect data from any cameras that might be used to catch them. This kind of thing is far more useful for good things than for bad.

Yeah, and that last part is where it gets confusing to me. If it is no longer just a short term supply shock, you'd actually want investment and production expansion. Those pressures seem to be in tension with interest rate increases t

by _ea1k 3y ago
Yeah, it does seem like the basic premise is worth questioning. The start of inflation in this cycle looked like a supply shock. Why is the discouraging investment the right response to that?

Maybe not the ad sales department, though.

by _ea1k 3y ago
Yeah, I definitely think people cross shop them. I've seen former R1T owners that would consider a Lightning. The F-150 in general is a little complicated on this scale. They are absolutely commonplace (the #1 selling vehicle in the U

In good quarters, Tesla has been able to pull ~30%. I'd guess that close to 25% is consistently attainable for a product from Apple. It isn't quite as good as their normal ~40%, but then again those are not $50k+ devices either.
