I give up. The more I read, the more unread posts pile up, many of which appear to be whingeing and whining about Elon being Elon and the Market being the Market. There just aren't enough hours in the day, and the rest of my life needs more of my attention.
I'm just going to leave these thoughts here, and if they've been discussed before and I missed it, I apologize.
What if, while operating out in the world, interacting with humans and other living beings, Optimus Subprime can collect/provide data to FSD that allows it to calculate probabilities of pedestrian behavior and other edge cases?
Why do people keep referring to the next smallest car as the 25k car? If we don't know where it fits in the timeline, we can't know how much it will cost. Maybe the "compact" or "compact hatch", or even the "compact platform" is a more appropriate name...
The OEMs may perennially be trying to catch up to where Tesla used to be, but we are also guessing where R&D is/should be, when they are most likely at least as agile as the engineers making changes on the lines every three hours.
Wasn't it George Blankenship who said (oh, so many years ago) that Elon makes the impossible merely difficult?
Perhaps it's not merely difficult for "competitors" to survive/thrive... Maybe they need their own Elons to turn things around.
I know I'm CrAzY; I was CrAzY in 2003, 2012, 2016 and all the surrounding years. I can live with it. Happily. Excitedly. Joyfully.
By the by, this is my tenth year all-in on TSLA; the goal post has just moved....... WheeeEEEEEeeeeEEEeeeeeEEEEEE!!!
