- John Bernal was a Tesla employee who showed FSD Beta to the world on his YouTube channel, AI Addict. He was fired in February.
- He says he never showed unreleased products or company secrets, but some of his videos showed the system not working perfectly.
- His access to FSD Beta has been cut off despite having no safety “strikes” in the software.

@Artful Dodger Isn’t Elon’s last tranche related to operating margin? Perhaps the real reason prices are increasing?
Maybe they should feature him on “Tesla and the ethics of abusing your employment relationship for side profits”.He was also featured on this March 3 edition of NPR's program On Point in the show titled "Tesla and the ethics of self-driving cars."
Tesla and the ethics of self-driving cars
Self-driving technology has come a long way in recent years, but it remains far from perfect. And that's partially because of decisions made -- not by the cars -- but by programmers.www.wbur.org
So you're saying that Tesla is a greedy, price-gouging company. But they're hiding it behind claims that it's all about higher material costs.The current price increases have nothing to do with higher costs except for the desire of Tesla to avoid the appearance of profiteering from unprecedented demand by justifying the price increases with higher material costs. Tesla can use the rising costs of materials to ward off the narrative that Tesla is a greedy, price-gouging company.
Certainly not hand pushed like the Austin crewThe precision of German parking is incredible. There does seem to be any lane markings on the ground, how did they do that?
Tesla is not constrained to fill orders in the order received. If they want to deliver in Q2 a bunch of higher priced cars that were just ordered in the weeks after the latest price increases, they could do that.Also, the current round of price increases will mostly take effect AFTER 2022Q2 (due to the order backlog).
Bumping this to see if I can get some after hours play.
Do you really think Putin would listen to Trump? LOLMaybe it's just Russian humor? Elon is trying to win over Putin with tough guy Russian humor. It doesn't make sense for him to try to make enemies with him. That's not going to help end the war. We need to send Elon and Donald Trump over there to bond with Putin and talk some sense into him. Go bare back riding on grizzly bears together.
This guy needs to respect his NDA as an employee of Tesla. He can't share "industry knowledge", which is something he said of being the purpose of his videos, that's the difference between him and someone like Chuck.
Also this is the guy who had an accident on FSD and that video went viral, and used in a CNBC hit piece.

So you think the whole thing about making Tesla vehicles more affordable was just lies? Kind of nasty vision you have there. Not one I share.
Market price is defined by supply and demand.
Some people think selling a product for market prices is dirty. I think it's the best way to do it for multiple reasons I won't go into. Mentioning inflationary pressures in the same breath you mention you are raising prices is just good business sense.
The reason Tesla is working their ass off to make EV's more affordable is so EV's can proliferate far and wide. Selling the limited number they can currently make for prices below market value does not help EV's proliferate - that's just a gifting of value. The end game is to make so many EV's so efficiently that everyone can afford one more easily than an ICE car. This is the path Tesla is on and it requires massive investment and hard work to get there. Selling out their entire production at market rates is the fastest way to get there because it ensures capital is never the limiting factor.
Tesla is on a noble mission but it's not a charity giveaway for people who can't afford a new car.
Unbelievable how some can’t get the basic concept that as long as Tesla is running production as fast as they can, they’re 100% fulfilling their mission and can get as much profit as they want in the process.
Literally nothing changes in the numbers except Tesla makes more profit. The world isn’t any more or less saved because the number Tesla produces and sells this year, next year, or the year after that is entirely different than Tesla’s profits
Strategy Credit: An uncomplicated decision that makes a company look good relative to other companies who face much more significant trade-offs.
