The EU is not the perfect example of European Unity, congratulations for figuring that out. Most European institutions are designed by dolling out as much as they get in. That is the inherent way most of these programs work. Had Britain bee

Yes, Tesla would have build the plant there anyway most likely but saying 'it happens anyway' in a broader context is not clear, EU has made a strategic choice that battery are a high priority and that why they want to make it hap

This is mostly nonsense. Tesla is not spending a multiple billions more for a very complex, very expensive factory (far larger then just the battery factory), heir and train 1000s of employs, developing local supply lines only to move the w

Top priority compared to water, no of course not. But if we have a commercially viable solution that solve a number of problems, why not do it?

I'm just not sure this is objectively true. Many people on HN seem convinced that there is nothing between all human and all machine that is better but I don't really think this is based on a solid evidence. I'm also not sure

Funny then the Ford calls it Co-Pilot. There are many names that companies use, the idea that they all call it cruise control is just non-sense. And Tesla also doesn't call it 'full self driving autopilot'. They simply call i

Then the waste majority of cars simply wouldn't come with lane assist. Deploying lidar on such scale is simply not practical at the moment. Check out how long it took for even simple safety features to make it into all cars.

This not a feature that Autopilot or any other of the lane keeping systems have at the moment. If we are going to say that this is an issue then pretty much all lane keeping systems would have to be outlawed. If it is really impossible for

What you demand is not clean drinking water, rather that nobody is allowed to use the river at all because you like to see the water flow. You are basically saying 'nobody is allowed to put a boat on this river because I like nature&#x

You are taking things out of context. ULA was a government formed monopoly and the Dod basically wanted to hand them a block contract that would basically give them a monopoly for very long time. SpaceX would have been excluded from Dod fli

Its mostly a Musk trying to do things and Bezos trying to stop him. A war would consider them attacking each other. I have not seen a single lawsuit or complaint filed by SpaceX against BlueOrigin or Amazon. The certainty point out in their

They don't want to stop working with suppliers. Batteries are massively constraint, they will buy everything they can from LG, CATL and Panasonic. That is still not enough, that is why they are also building their own. Panasonic in-fac

Only if you don't understand the constraints on battery and battery supply chain. The reason Ford is not actually planning to build as many as people assume.

by panick21 5y ago
Yes, so far they are doing that. In fact they use a mix of Panasonic, CATL and LG. However they are working on having their own battery and battery factory design. They are even working on their own cathode manufacturing plants. They have a

That might be the case, but that doesn't mean the plane was a success. That means the reorganization of the industry was a success.

They should have done one that was very complex and would almost work but then be horrible to maintain.

I disagree. Only the most simple basic highway lane keeping is commodity and that is only small part of overall driving.

Nonsense. Go look at some of the models by different analyst. Even if you include no software revenue at all, you can justify a much higher stock price then you suggest. Some never include anything for FSD in the first place. And even if th
