Seems the Cybertruck VIN tracker is down.. Can anyone else still reach it? Are there alternative sources?

I think the point is that this is, yet another WSJ FUD hit piece that all can view, and most viewing do not have the same level of information that we have. This piece is filled with misinformation, “sources” as well as “alleged” and puts Musk and his board in a very bad place. WSJ has lost all journalistic integrity, if they ever had any...Ohhh "alledged" performance issues...
Seriously? Combining "fact" and "may"? Are they or aren't they? Here's a hint, the majority board has been in place over 12 months other than with JB replacing Hiro last year.
Want to research yourself (something WSJ seems to have not bothered to do since they can't tell if Tesla is compliant):
The Board: Corporate Governance | Tesla Investor Relations
The Rules: Nasdaq Listing Center
I don't see how that could do anything but slow implementation.How about if the "geofence" was really really huge? Like say the first fence is the 5 lowest population density states (skipping Alaska for now)
Plus any interstate or highway section in other states that are in a cell that has population density less than North Dakota's average (would open up the entire interstate highway system outside of cities in several other states).
- Wyoming
- Montana
- North Dakota
- South Dakota
- New Mexico
And of course for those northern states have the AI not willing to take over when there are unplowed roads in snow season.
Then later add the next 4 lowest population dense states and any cells in states not already added that are lower population density than Kansas average (again adding cells in several other states)
and move on in waves of geofencing like that?
- Idaho
- Nebraska
- Nevada
- Kansas
Well if you haven't noticed, immigration is a huge concern for the majority of the country, it's currently the #1 concern among voters, 81% of Republicans, 68% of independents and 45% of Democrats say conditions at the border are worsening. So Elon is not expressing some controversial view here, his tweets are in broad agreement with the sentiment of most Americans.It affects TSLA (and probably Tesla, indirectly) if is feeds the next news cycles... Without go into the details of what he says, we should at least acknowledge that the simple facts he's expressing political views ferquently and doing polls about impeachment of any political reps does affects his image to people all around the world. Or you don't think that this things are being translated like everywhere? Sometimes I find Musk in the local newspaper, for whatever thing he has done lately. If people think that his tweets are just a thing on X they are delusional. This is 2024, everything percolates everywhere, without context, and badly translated.
I guess they forgot to mention that he got tested for illegal substances by NASA/US govt once again…This link for me at least gave free access to the whole article:
Really piling on the scrutiny of the “independent directors” and alleged lack of proper board performance.
- Details incidents where board members were doing illegal drugs with Musk.
- fleshes out more personal and business relationships between the independent directors and Musk.
- Also Larry Ellison and others suggested to Musk that he go into rehab in 2022 after his drug use got worse (timing seems to coincide with his “change” in twitter posting behavior).
- Also introduces the fact that Tesla May be in breach of NASDAQ listing requirements due to lack in the number of independent directors. If they were to receive a breach notice from NASDAQ, Tesla would still have 12 months to rectify the situation before potential delisting.
- identifies two board members who left for dissatisfaction from unsatisfactory board oversight, and their attempts to rectify were rebuffed.
Set on chill with minimum lane changes. I can’t find anything that controls this. I flip it on and screen immediately says changing to left most lane.Not sure if it varies by region, but this sounds like something that could (mostly) be solved by adjusting the settings: Minimize lane changes, chill mode for FSD's aggressiveness setting, etc. Mine still sometimes makes illogical lane changes, but on the highway it will run in the middle lanes when that makes sense based on traffic and speed settings...
And I’m a pre WW2 baby.The European mind cannot comprehend this.

That's not the way it works. Learning is cumulative. Just because FSD is better in San Francisco does not make it worse somewhere else.Geofencing like this can also cause issues. A potential issue:
right now EM already has mentioned that the training data is over-engineered for SF and needs more training data in a rainy env. Geo fencing will cause similar training data issues. Most of the platform for universal training has already been established. All that is needed is v12 needs to be rolled out to a wider audience and training will grow organically across the US.
Another issue could be that once a behavior is "learned" by the AI/NNs for a given geo-fenced area, we don't know the impact of unlearning it or re-learning it when more areas w/ diff rules are added.
I feel that its best to apply the learning for an area all at once.
Others have been geofencing because that is the only way they can solve this problem via coding/heuristics. They are not using NNs. So by geo-fencing, they are limiting the rules & scope and thus the coding effort to get something running so 'show' progress. But scaling beyond the geo-fenced areas will increasing become an intractable and exponentially complex problem.
You don’t say. News to me.It affects TSLA (and probably Tesla, indirectly) if is feeds the next news cycles...
Ok. Acknowledged 10 years ago, 9 years and 364 days ago, 9 years and 363 days ago, 9 years and 362 days ago, 9 years and 361 days ago… every bloody single day, multiple times a day, up to and including last Sunday, the day after last Sunday, last Tuesday, last Wednesday, last Thursday while enjoying a brisk walk in the rain, Friday during backgammon, yesterday while making duck a l’orange, today before caffeine.Without go into the details of what he says, we should at least acknowledge that the simple facts he's expressing political views ferquently and doing polls about impeachment of any political reps does affects his image to people all around the world.
Who cares? Mary led anyway.Or you don't think that this things are being translated like everywhere?
You still read a newspaper? To clip coupons? To get the ‘truth’? Or just to look at the pictures?Sometimes I find Musk in the local newspaper, for whatever thing he has done lately. If people think that his tweets are just a thing on X they are delusional.

Will you look at that. WSJ giving The National Enquirer a run for its money. I can’t believe they forgot to include the alien baby’s role in the fiasco.This link for me at least gave free access to the whole article:

I would think 250k is the initial target in the US, add Asia and Europe and seeing them everywhere, then lower prices as it scales and I think a million globally is possible.Weekend OT.
I’ll try to make this brief since it’s really just one person‘s experience but my son sent me this video, and then came home and him and his three friends just couldn’t shut up about how this guy let them open the tonneau cover, stand on the cover, sit inside… As he called, it do the wiggle waggle with the 4 wheel steering. As you can see from the video; roman and his little homies are NOT the only ones fascinated by it!
My investor hat on now; I think this thing is gonna sell WAY MORE than 250k/year. Just my gut hunch.
Will someone get this man a Tesla for his Brazilian hideaway already! And one for his Brazilian mistress and her mother. And his own Brazil Is The Bomb forum thread."Tesla opens it's first store in South America, but not in Brazil"
in Portuguese, choose your favorite translator.Tesla inaugura sua 1ª loja na América do Sul, mas não é no Brasil
Tesla escolhe país da América do Sul para inaugurar sua primeira loja física no continente; veja onde fica.multiversonoticias.com.br
'The gist is that here in Brazil we're anxious and slightly dismayed to see our nice little neighbor get preference to our huge, automating, raw material plentiful selves. Frankly we are jealous!
Just to ensure that the message is clear to Tesla, BYD is not ignoring us because they now have solar panels, busses, batteries all made here, and soon BYD will open that giant Bahia factory they bought from Ford, after which they will produce large numbers of electric cars.' I did not make quotation marks on this extract since it summarizes TV commentators, press reports and personal comment made to me from interested friends.
When considering that early 2024 results in Europe show ~9% of sales from new countries, mostly small ones, we might expect that might well be true in other places too. Chile is narrow and very long, so Supercharger coverage can be national, North to South with extra coverage for Santiago de Chile, Valparaiso and Concepción, the three significant cities..with ~30 Supercharger locations, or even fewer, especially with a scattering of Destination chargers. Consider also that Chile makes no cars. Then, if the decide to Really do it well, they could ship Tesla Energy products plus cars and a handful of Destination chargers to Isla de Pascoa (Easter Island) where a total Tesla Energy solution would save large amounts of shipping of fossil fuel to that remote picturesque tourist destination.
Without belaboring the specifics of Chile, the inevitable comparisons to many other remote islands show just how easy it can be to solve huge expense problems for fuel imports as well as generating useful income and, in many cases, huge publicity from tourist exposure.
Then, for those who haven't noticed, here is an unexpected prospect:
Just for clarity, here is the Clean Technica version :

Making a serious effort to supply both Tesla Energy and Auto to Ethiopia would have large benefit, not least by leading Kenya and Tanzania, to name two, to adopt similar policies. As a relevant aside, all of East Africa has been a traditional destination for used cars, and BEV need be no exception. Of course there are LHD and RHD markets, and Singapore, Japan and the UK are all suppliers fo used cars for these markets.Ethiopia travel

Of course Elon is more familiar than most with South Africa, another much larger opportunity.
Now that European smaller markets are proving successful and Chile is setting the Mercosur stage it seems inevitable that integrated Tesla Energy and automotive moves in much of Africa and many Pacific islands, perhaps starting with Chile and the French islands, where regulation and homologation are already done on the mainland. Tahiti and Bora Bora, like others, would save giant expenses with total electrification.

At this point, I think it goes way beyond artificially depressing the SP to buy shares on the cheap. Indeed, I don’t think it’s that at all. I won’t bore people with my conspiracy theory.Hit pieces ramping up in the traditional media about Elon and Tesla are usually a sign that someone wants the stock price lowered for some reason. One reason could be they want to force weak handed retail investors to give up their shares, it could get a lot worse but if you believe in the company long term it should be a case of observing it and keeping focused on the facts. Facts are not usually present in any of these articles or if they are they are spun more than your pants on laundry day.
