I'm a recent Model 3 owner. Waking up with a full tank everyday is SWEET. For road trips, you just have to plan for a bit extra time, but it's often how much you would stop anyways. For example, if you're on a 4 hour road tri

I've mentioned this before but, how many technologies do you see companies working on where they say, "well we have one approach we think is gonna work, but we're also going to spend a ton of resources and time developing thi

Really? Can you show me any video anywhere of someone actually driving a Rivian? They haven't built one yet.

Rivian has yet to make a single Truck. It is vaporware until they have more than just numbers.

Well I'm a software engineer at an automotive tech company who interfaces with all the big OEM's daily so I'm gonna go ahead and say I'm very familiar. But that's not a reason you know, that's just you divertin

Hard limit at 3. Never more. That's it. You don't need more than 3 in a night. Enjoy those 3. Never cross it.

A better question is, how come any of the companies using Lidar haven't shipped anything as good as Autopilot given that it's so much better?

dozens? How about 2 thus far and Tesla was not at fault.

Only really GM with Supercruise on one of their cars, the CT6. And it is not advanced as Autopilot.

I don't know what this author is talking about and I'm not sure he does either. I think his premise is that AI is bad and vague. And its bad because it's bias. But he just picks a few examples with no counter argument and spi

As continues the trend, people constantly write off the next improvement in AI as "not that big of a deal" or "not actually AI because X" or "underwhelming". I suspect they'll be doing this all the way up

As someone working in automotive-tech, this company is still vaporware in my mind. I hope it is a success as I am a fan of EV's but until I see a single Rivian doing anything I'd be very skeptical of a 2021 release date. Would als

Because some remote employees move all the time and it's annoying to arrange where to receive the check.

So people want the whole company to go bankrupt and for 50k people to lose their jobs and we have no one leading the charge towards electric vehicles? The Internet is a weird and ridiculous place.

Ahh, I actually understand the hit pieces. There is a lot of money to be made on Shorts if Tesla fails. I just don't understand the community of people who some how make being anti-Tesla a part of their identity.

Once again I gotta say the negativity is astounding. People are so stoked to be rooting for this American tech company to fail. I really don't get it. The main gripe I see is that Tesla misses deadlines or makes promises they cannot fu
