"People who contract the novel coronavirus emit high amounts of virus very early on in their infection, according to a new study from Germany that helps to explain the rapid and efficient way in which the virus has spread around the wo

The solution as it relates to poor air quality from the toxic gases emitted from internal combustion engine vehicles in densely populated urban areas. Better? Mass transit will help, but people are going to buy cars and drive regardless. EV

I've heard of market saturation, but market share bubble? Bloomberg is not making a simple point. The article is titled as if there is, without a doubt, a bubble. When a bubble pops, everyone loses money and only the strongest companie

"Electric-Car Bubble"... "EV sales make up just 4 percent of overall passenger vehicle sales of 23.7 million units, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers." Yup, definitely sounds like a bubble. S

Everything is easier on a large display: navigation, browsing through music/podcasts, changing settings. Speed and range are really the only "gauges" you need and take up very little real estate. Doesn't make much sense

However you feel about it, the bigger point is that none of big auto could do this even if they wanted to

The middle class can buy Model 3s and get the tax credit as well. And the top 25% paid 85.97% of total income tax in 2016. So I think you have it backwards.

Seems like anything else is just a roundabout way with additional layers of beaurocracy of doing universal basic income.

That's exactly my point. Seat belts are required by law. Obeying the speed limit is required by law. But users are not forced to obey these laws by restrictions placed on the vehicles by manufacturers. If the user disobeys the law, the

What precedence? If "it's up to the user" is not sufficient, then all vehicles should be speed capped at the legal speed limit and prohibited from moving if seat belts are not on. Clearly that's not the case. Unfortunate

The entire video is Autopilot in city driving. Autopilot, at this time, is only for "driving on dry, straight roads, such as highways and freeways. It should not be used on city streets."

Terrible analogy given that Tesla has created literally the best automobiles ever, and Theranos created nothing.

I wonder how many people see this headline but don't realize this happened over year ago when they also saw a similar headline for the same accident. Combine that with constant headlines about Tesla vehicle fires, financial troubles, p

Well yes, of course those are valued highest. What's the point of auto lane changing if you can't ACC and lane keep?

by notaki 7y ago
Such as Navigate on Autopilot(freeway interchanges and exits), speed based lane changing, merging, object detection. There are 8 cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors, and a radar. They are not the same.

Openpilot is not on par with Autopilot. There's a long list of things Autopilot can do that Openpilot will never be able to do with existing hardware.

But no one else is mass producing EV's. VW is just starting to talk about building a gigafactory. Everyone is doing a lot of talking, but they are all years behind Tesla. And even if they stop talking and start doing, they'll need

This is just another negative Tesla article from the nytimes. Nothing new, and in the long run it doesn't matter. Elon and Tesla are changing the world for the better. Tesla is growing exponentially and produced 80k cars last quarter.

Not much different? A car is about 10x the width of the scooter. And bike lanes in the city are wide enough to allow passing within the bike lane if the slower traffic stays on one side. https://twitter.com/BrentToderian&#x2

I'm all for having more scooters parked on sidewalks and less Uber/Lyft vehicles blocking bike Lanes and adding to downtown traffic. The scooters are much needed, obviously. But, as usual, the media and city are crying about it an

"This remains a categorical advantage over BEVs, which even under fast-charging conditions typically require several hours to fully recharge." -That's BS. Should say 30 min. to 1 hour. Hydrogen is a dead end. Toyota and Hyund
