The miles driven are rising exponentially as the versions improve according to company filings. If the miles driven on previous versions are no longer relevant how can the NHTSA investigation of previous versions impact FSD regulation today

Those are Autopilot videos this discussion is about FSD. FSD has driven ~2 billion miles at this point and had potentially 2 fatal accidents. The US average is 1.33 deaths/100 million miles. Tesla on FSD is easily 10x safer. Every day

Here's a video of FSD driving the same route as a waymo 42% faster with zero interventions. 23 min vs 33. This is my everyday. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/Kswp1DwUAAI?si=rX4L5FhMrPXpGx4V

Sounds like a liquidity even to me. Time to pay taxes on 150B in equity.

A human + FSD on is statistically safer than driving with it on. People without FSD are the drunk drivers here.

Many of these cars don't pass western safety standards and can never be sold in Europe. There are some that are Tesla competitors, but it is widely believed (there is not enough evidence to show conclusively) that none of the Chinese m

If you're a deeptech founder Y Combinator is not for you. Recommend something like an NSF Activate grant instead. Commercialization of hardware takes an average of 15 years. If you can't get dilution free funding for the first 5 o

Yes this is major component of what I mean by profitability. The utilities spend vast sums on grid equipment and transmission lines that they pay for over decades through bond offerings. The grid is designed to distribute electricity from c

Interesting. I'm going off of what I've read and looking up quotes like these: https://www.solarchoice.net.au/commercial-solar/pricing/15kw... Why is your system so expensive? Storage?

A lot of it has to do with permitting, building codes, and lack of competition. In Australia deregulation has led to pricing well below 1AU$/W installed. If we could adapt what worked there prices would come down like crazy.

It's a tough problem. Trillions of dollars of utilities bonds (mostly owned by pension funds) and a century of regulatory barriers make change hard. The problem is similar to the task of reforming the medical system. The strategy that

As someone who worked on advanced solar in the 2008-2014 timeframe and later did a PhD in photonic materials, I have learned to heed the old adage "Never bet against silicon". The cost of silicon solar modules is projected to drop

Tesla revenue was 96 billion last year. Byd's was ~85 billion. By earnings it's not even close.

I'm a Tesla investor. It's not about a cult. Tesla is the fastest growing manufacturing company in the history of the world. They are the only profitable EV company and deploy the most stationary storage. They are leaders in distr

New Tesla's have a lithium battery. The reason for the 12V is that the low voltage electrical system can periodically need to deliver and control ~100A @ 12V. To do this with DC to DC conversion from the ~400V main pack is complex and

Tesla model 3. My wife was spending 300$ a month on gas with her commute. Now that costs us 30$ a month. Basically our total cost of ownership is the same, but we upgraded from a Yaris so well worth it in our case. Works for us because we h

How is it that big negative news about Tesla gets monstrous engagement and positive news is met with disinterest? I think there is probably another emotion going through the heads of those who love to slam Tesla.

You do not rely on drag to deorbit a stainless steel 10 story building partially covered in heat shielding in a random location. They deliberately selected a suborbital trajectory with a velocity that matched orbital reentry... See 1:20 of

Excess deaths are likely related to the effects of lockdowns. The lack of exercise and mental stress suffered by the elderly over the course of the pandemic was huge. Check out Sweden, they had limited/no lockdowns, very high vaccinati

Tesla tried to get their charging standard adopted years ago from the outset of their business. The incumbents rejected the standard. Now they are adopting it.

It blew my mind when I found out orbitals can be thought of as harmonic modes of a sphere. Sad that it took until 4th year quantum chemistry to find that out.

How is an underquote more customer friendly? It seems to me that it would cause buyers to choose a worse vehicle with lower range that didn't use an artificially low range number. It's like advertising a car as having poor gas mil

EPA range is a defined value based on published metrics and measurement principles. The idea that a manufacturer should under report range is a bit strange. Are there examples of ICE manufacturers under reporting their gad mileage? I doubt

If an electric car can travel 70mph and beat it's EPA range then the manufacturer did a terrible job of designing the car. Wind resistance should be the major determining factor with an EV. Low speed regenerative breaking is such an ef

Calling Tesla Enron and pets.com is totally legit, but unassailable is rhetoric? What competition are you talking about? What is their gross margin? SG&A expense as a % of revenue? If Tesla is so assailable there should be easily named
