An analyst said (can't remember which one) said he thought that if Musk was kicked out stock would drop 25% overnight but eventually recover. It's rumored that Musk personally fired the head of North American sales at Tesla on Friday. He's been with Tesla for a while. He was previously at Space X then was hired for his job at Tesla.
Tesla Robotaxi / Robovan Event
- Thread starter E365
- Start date
Yes, it was. 1 car, I believe. Is that a win? Of course can you imagine a few thousand Teslas taking off for their new home in one day? OMG...
My crystal ball sez the world will look a whole lot different in 10 years.
Tesla has forced a stragegic inflection point in the world of transportation.
Leaders don't follow. Do leaders make mistakes? Heck yeah.
Sure, this is true of just about all businesses, especially as they grow from startup to large.
This was promised years ago, just like our cars making us money driving while we sleep or are at work. That was my only point.
At lot of assumptions have to be made to call FSD safer though. That’s definitely very dependent on where it is used. Driver error is inconsistency for not paying attention. FSD inconsistency comes from the system just becoming confused. It’s really not much different. I’m amazed given all the praise of FSD that it can’t drive me 2 miles to Walmart in my town without taking the wrong lane at least twice to stay straight at stoplights. That’s embarrassing in a 2026 Tesla for how close to unsupervised FSD is supposed to be.
Driver error also includes not paying attention due to tuning the radio or searching for controls, cell phone, being upset cuz wifey yelled at you, or your boss, kids screaming, looking at the fox on the sidewalk, hangovers, drunk driving, having a cold, late for work, on and on...
Humans set a really low bar.
What about fsd error? Is it not as bad if an autonomous vehicle runs a red light and kills someone? A robotaxi pulled into a left turn lane then went straight into the oncoming lane on green it took six seconds for it to "figure " out that it was in the wong lane. This was on the first day of the event. Hundreds of people have posted videos of their Teslas running very red lights, pulling into oncoming traffic, the wrong lane etc. Forbes followed fsd and autopilot accidents over several years, 94% of the time it was no safer than a human driving, 3% of the time it was slightly safer, and 3% of the time it was slightly less safe than a human driving.
Actually, $11,500 per car ( I did use the words “up to”)
Simple, $7500 when purchased new, then the same car re-sold used gets $4000. Must be sold by a dealer.
Can't hardly run a train profitably in the USA so who in their right mind would think the same geniuses currently running trains could invent anything new and make it work?
Look at the gross mismanagement and budgeting of California's "high speed" train.
That makes sense. I wasn’t making the combination on my own initially to make the connection.
that’s good. I’ll await the explanation of how it all works. Keep in mind I’ve been in the industry 8 years and I can tell you exactly how it all works. I’m just not allowed to divulge the information in a public setting like this. It’s freight, not passenger. Freight makes money hand over fist.
I kind of wonder wherecor if Tesla will be in 10-15 years.
Look at Sears. If you told someone 100 years ago that Sears would be gone by the 2010s they'd think you're crazy.
The only passenger Train system that I know turns a profit is Amtrak's Acela Line on the east coast.
Then why did the HEAD of Tesla's autonomous driving state that they're lagging two years behind Waymo
Head of Tesla's auto driving says they're behind Waymo
I still can't download the Robotaxi app and I am in the office today near downtown Austin. It's clear as mud when I will be able to try out this service.
You need to post a few videos to YouTube where you praise FSD unabashedly despite it trying to steer you into oncoming traffic. Then you’ll get your ticket.
You don’t actually believe the public in general is able to use this system do you? Tesla was built upon lies.
