You clearly got screwed. More accurately, you screwed yourself, because the guy who hired you for 25% less than your market value didn't put a gun to your head. You accepted the job willingly and you rationalized the choice. (for the r

The thing is, self driving wars will likely be over before economies of scale for production of lidars will happen. If non-lidar system doesn't work, then the cost of lidar, even at $10k, is irrelevant. If you can make non-lidar system

According to a recent interview with pony.ai ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VcpZnIg3M0 ) the cost to retrofit a car with all necessary sensors is $75k. A Lidar is a significant part of that. If $40k Tesla can do as well a

They listened to the part of the community that agrees with you. I'm "community" and I would prefer to have `try()` than not to have. They didn't listen to me.

His argument is not that Tesla is like Amazon because they both had losses. His argument is that Tesla's losses can be explained by investment in the future, just like Amazon invested in the future while half of wall street was telling

As is their right. The city fucked up hugely by making an exclusive deal with Ford/Motive (acquired by Lyft). If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at SF government. The rule of law means that you don't get to change contracts

To my knowledge, this hasn't happened with Tesla cars and therefore Tesla didn't complain and therefore you can't claim that Tesla "wants it both ways".

This wasn't Tesla's plan from the beginning. This is the history of how that happened. In 2016 Tesla announced Model 3 and took a risk by pre-announcing that the price will start at $35. In late 2017 they started making the cars a

They could but I'm guessing SpaceX margins on rocket launches are ~50% (to make it economical in the face of risk of blowing up billion-dollar payloads). Which means that if Apple pays $60 million for a single launch, it costs SpaceX $
