Some "people familiar with the matter" stuff. So take it with a pinch of Himalayan salt. But I find it plausible. What they said about Baidu is in line with my thinking.
Sources: Tesla plans to test its 'robotaxi' in China
Elon Musk, the CEO of the United States electric vehicle maker Tesla, proposed testing the full self-driving, or FSD, functions of its vehicles in the Chinese market by deploying them as "taxis" during his recent visit to China, and sources indicated that the Chinese government may have offered...www.chinadaily.com.cn
I am pretty sure the first 2 are guesses. I don't think Elon's team or the Chinese leadership will leak what was discussed in private until the time is right, given the sensitivity of the Chinese leadership .
Elon has been bullish on FSD since 2016.Elon is now bullish on FSD
you mean now now?
Forcing people to work 80 hours is also a factor.
I'm jealous. The only thing you ever add to my charts are red dots when the manipulators are aiming for a close other than MaxPain!I took the liberties off drawing eyes and whiskers, and sure enough, the shorts have managed to facilitate the dreaded @Krugerrand pattern.
Seems like John prefers Caresoft also, or Sandy has lost credibility in the industry bc he seems to have gone full Tesla inflluencer modeAnother great teardown video by Caresoft, brought to you by Autoline. Different style of presentation compared to Sandy Munro. If I had to choose, I think I prefer these over Sandy's. This one discusses the evolution of the body in white and gigacastings between the Model Y and CT. They mention this is yet another evolutionary step working towards the unboxed manufacturing process.
The CT is an engineering marvel. Structural integrity, different metal compounds, depending on strength need, massive castings. Every time I watch one of these videos, I can't help but wonder and smile at what the legacy manufacturers must be thinking. I bet their pants are getting heavy.
Well worth a watch.
It would go a long way if Elon would just give an example of something it does in the latest version that would blow one’s mind instead of the vague statement.
More humourGot a sense of humour ? Haha
I have been reading this thread off and on. Trolls - Yes. Shorts - Maybe. But traders? Are you saying traders cuz traders = bad so if someone is bad they must be a trader?I have been on this thread for a while and have read every post for years. I posted here for a while until the mods complained about the number of posts and said not to post unless there was new information to share. I stopped posting so I would not add to the growing number of posts. I thought I was doing my part to be helpful and compliant.
I learned so much from some of the excellent participants on this forum that have come and gone. This used to be the place to go to get facts about Tesla and TSLA. I truly enjoyed spending hours each day reading every post and contemplating long term investor strategy. I made it a point to leave feedback as my way of participating.
I am sad to say that I will no longer be reading this thread. It has turned into a safe haven for traders, shorts, and trolls. Mod policies support this. It is no longer worth the time to wade through post after post of negativity and complaints about Elon. The same nonsensical posts over and over again by the same traders, shorts, and trolls. It’s too bad because I miss the thread this used to be. I will also no longer financially support TMC.
Wish all of the friends I have made here the very best. Let me know if this thread ever becomes useful again.
Not at all. Traders are fine, but I just consider it different than investing and as the thread name implies this is an investor’s thread. That’s all I meant. I have always appreciated your posts, by the way.I have been reading this thread off and on. Trolls - Yes. Shorts - Maybe. But traders? Are you saying traders cuz traders = bad so if someone is bad they must be a trader?
You should ask your friend if the 80 hour workweek expectation is fully compensated. Even salaried folks can be compensated for all hours worked, but that's usually when there's someone to "bill"...I don't think Tesla has anyone to bill, so the 80 hours is likely just the expectation to earn their salary. Doesn't sound sustainable to me but Elon is known to do the impossible.I have a friend that has been working at Tesla for a while now and he shared an email Elon sent regarding layoffs, hardcore, etc. I did not post it on here because mods might remove it for being inappropriate or what not.
TL DR: He wants people to put in 80 hrs and if they are not willing to ditch their personal life for the mission, they're out. Company wide ban on frivolous activities, and third, any complaints about the new initiative, they're out. Lastly, he mentioned that tesla cannot afford to carry any dead weight which is why the SC team was let go.
Now Tesla uses lidar to check if all employees are at their stations 80 hrs a week. /s
Regarding the use of lidar to verify ground truth data Elon mentions they don't need them for even that anymore. Wonder if they're using them for anything at all or if he's saying they no longer need them period.
Sounds like they're making good headway finally with FSD
