I hope this is just the start, 50k/yr globally seems cautious.
Elon said they'd do 50k in 2024.

There are two bits of news that Sawyer is declining to share.
1) Pepsi said their current fleet is 21. What happened to the other 15 from their original 36?
2) Deliveries to other non-Pepsi customers is now targeted for 2026. That's further out than the "production starts 2019" claim made in 2017.
I am confounded. I scanned all your posts and apologies if I missed one, I didn’t see a single positive one, or one that wasn’t a poke, or even a poke with some insight. I won’t ask your motivation but I will admit I’m curious. But I realized I’m not learning anything from you. I appreciate contrary or negative posts when there is a rationale and something to be learned.
My third ignore..
@DarkandStormy
Well, tell us, what happened to them please.
An information filled post is always appreciatetd.
Please dig deeper and get back with thhe salient information as to where those missing vehicle went please since you seem to be researchhing that infoHow would I know? Just seems odd their fleet decreased by 40% in under two years.

Elon said they could do convoy (autonomous) technology "now" in 2017 at the unveil, so it's a bit surprising they aren't utilizing it with their own Semis.
EQC said:Elon never said it was important to acquire Twitter no matter what the cost or price premium.
He is saying it now. He is saying that if he hadn't acquired Twitter, free speech would be going away. He is saying that he did it to save free speech. But it seems like it's more of an excuse at this point.
To your point, I saw over the weekend, that a key exec of OpenAI, Jan Leike resigned because of fears regarding the direction OpenAI is taking wrt “…security, monitoring, preparedness, safety, adversarial robustness, (super)alignment, confidentiality, societal impact, and related topics…”

Elon commented on the post with “!!”
But over the past years, safety culture and processes have taken a backseat to shiny products.
ATGATT is the ONLY way to ride responsibly. All The Gear, All The Time. I designed this suit to look like the Apollo 16 Commander's EVA suit and had it custom-made. It came in handy when I was building my audience as a motovlogger on YouTube. I even met some JPL employees this way, one of whom asked to copy the suit for himself. Of course I agreed, because I copied NASA.
Speaking of Apollo 16 (and 15 and 17), they used an electric vehicle on the moon! This speaks to the superiority of EVs in that they don't need to 'breathe' and aren't bothered by the vacuum of space or air density as it relates to power.
FSD is going to help drivers see motorcyclists like myself better than they sometimes do along with anyone else on or near the roads—from pedestrians to their pets or a duck and her ducklings crossing the street. I no longer ride motorcycles, but EVs definitely scratch the itch for me when I feel the need for acceleration.
This is my gear (not my bike). The bike is a Honda Vultus, which reminds me a whole lot of Kaneda's bike from Akira.
Ah, another post that ignores the substance and goes straight for the "why can't you post positive things??" as if there isn't enough of that in this thread.
I have posted "positive" things. Those don't seem to gain any traction, so perhaps that's why you didn't see them. Quite a catch-22... I'm getting ignored for "negative" posts and now the very people who want "positive" posts won't see them...because they've put me on ignore. Echo...echo...echo.
Mmmm...how's the coffee this morning?
It would be cool if Tesla had a way of updating their vehicles remotely and had a culture of continuously adding new functionality over time....
Oh. Wait. Nevermind....
I mean, are we at the point where we have to explain what the word "starts" means?
PepsiCo on Tesla Semi's real-world hauling performance
PepsiCo reveals how the Tesla Semi has operated in its fleet, including all-important details on range and weight, which still leave something to be desired.www.ccjdigital.com
(battery supply constraints slowing build rate)
(Pepsi praise 21 Tesla semi's range)PepsiCo praises Tesla Semi’s performance on long-haul, regional loads
%%excerpt%% PepsiCo said its 21 Class 8 electric Semi trucks have up to 450-mile rangewww.freightwaves.com
took maybe 5 minutes facile, zero effort, random searching, so, that's "How you would know"
The truth is the Semi still hasnt launched. The event 2 Decembers ago now was just a smoke screen. Right now it is a prototype with 1 partner. This disappoints me far more than any other Tesla issue.Elon Musk says Tesla will build 50,000 semis annually starting in 2024, making it a top truck company
Elon Musk said that Tesla will be building 50,000 Semi tractor trucks annually starting in 2024. The first of the Class 8 trucks will be delivered in December.www.foxbusiness.com
The current pace of "production" is basically the same as if you and a few friends cobbled them together in your garage in your free time.
Why would they need to update functionality to something they could do "now" in 2017?
