Remember 'Not a flamethrower'? Could 'Not Autopilot' be the next meme?
Please, he would be more amendable to the Airplane reference of naming it "Otto Pilot."

Remember 'Not a flamethrower'? Could 'Not Autopilot' be the next meme?
l hope you are serious. This move IMO is a disappointment in that this is so close to several areas that would be better to avoid.Because this is the Investor Sector, and the “personal” Elon Musk thread is in another location, I’m posting this here rather than elsewhere, even if it only tangentially redounds to Tesla and TSLA.
I cannot endorse Mr Musk joining the Board of Directors of Endeavor (William Morris Agency, UFC and others). I have a number of reasons, but the most pertinent and, to me, utterly damning one with no possibility of redemption, is that through its upcoming IPO there are to be not one (the only appropriate number), or even two, but SIX ! classes of shares. That is financial plutocracy disguised as capitalism, which it most absolutely is not.
I am appalled and most disappointed in Mr Musk’s decision.
Tesla's US market share was 'probably close to peak' in 2020: Analyst
Tesla's record-setting share price rally in 2020 coincided with what may have been an all-time high in the company's share of the U.S. electric-vehicle market, according to at least one analyst.finance.yahoo.com
So, the Tesla EV share question is really a question of EV market growth. In most cases there is a time when demand exceeds supply and all manufacturers make money. If Tesla clips this (or sets a level like OPEC/Saudi defines price by turning a tap) by aiming all Giga factories at demand...
This is obviously going to 800+, big whale wants it up not down.
Pure as day being manipulated to not follow the drop of macros. For the last 3 months Tesla has followed almost every drop with a big multiple...... today it’s just hanging there. Elon tweeting a partial confirmation should not be enough to keep it up on its own. My entire stock list, 95% of the tickers are red
I imagine the new Dojo supercomputer needs to be "tested" for performance and cooling effectiveness etc.This begs the question: What does Elon consider a "little" rig?
You've done it! You brought up one of the most ancient word origins. more of less 'mew' was Proto-indo-European speaking of the movement (growth) of plants. Variants appear in one form or other in Greek, all Romance languages and other Indo-European languages from Gujarati to modern French and English.If we are discussing words, then let us object to the mongrel or bastard word "automobile". "Auto" comes from Greek and "mobile" from Latin, and such a word is offensive to some. For linguistic purity we should call them autokiniles or suimobiles.
Market share of the "EV market" is a misleading metric because the EV market isn't a closed system. If you want to talk market share, you have to include all cars. Because people can choose a gas car or they can choose an electric car. The number of vehicles that are battery-electric is exploding and, considering they currently only comprise 2% of all vehicles, they can continue to explode. It's unlikely that Tesla will maintain their current ~80% of BEV sales in N. America as unit sales reach into the tens of millions. Talking about the market share of the rapidly expanding "EV market" is about as meaningful as only being concerned with a companies market share of white cars. Electric cars compete primarily with gas cars - that will gradually change as EV's gain market share and EV production volumes rise to the point where the consumer has a number of readily available EV options but, at this early stage of adoption, the most relevant numbers describe the growth of sales and manufacturing, not market share increases/decreases.
And this explains why that article is pure and simple FUD.
When you see a typo, but you check to see who wrote it, and think, "No, I'd better go look up that word".even if it only tangentially redounds to Tesla and TSLA.
Yes, and that attitude redounds to you as well. Not coincidently word heck will tend to avoid such words, useful though they are.When you see a typo, but you check to see who wrote it, and think, "No, I'd better go look up that word".
... according to hearsay (2 people). No comment from the White House who's still working on it. Sounds like clickbait to anger opposition.Goal of 50% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030 (!!) to be announced this week by Biden Administration.
True story: when I first typed that, this system mis-corrected it to 'rebounds' and I had to go back and override.When you see a typo, but you check to see who wrote it, and think, "No, I'd better go look up that word".
Here is how serious I am: I am contemplating joining Twitter just so I can present it personally to Mr Musk. I never have been so sorely tempted. But I need not go that path of those "several areas" as that direction leads to trouble.I h

as OP said words matter ... and the name "AutoPilot" implies way too much at this point in time ...been using AP for 4 years and it still does a lot of scary stuff IMHO... it has improved considerably ....my wife who is a decent driver and generally an early adopter to technology refuses to use AP because it still requires close supervision and does weird stuff that scares her out of using it ...I'm afraid the FUD has entered your consciousness and rearranged the molecules inside your brain. You are now infected and you require a vaccine. Please locate the nearest Neuralink Research Laboratory and apply for patch #NB420FUDFX.
I'm never against education and public outreach but name-changing is stooping down to the level of the FUD and admitting defeat.
What's in a name? It's whatever you want it to be. You could call Autopilot "lame-ass driver aid that fails every 10 minutes" and people would still attempt deadly and idiotic stunts with it. No, never back down from a winning position and admit defeat. That would confuse people even more.
"Autopilot" is Tesla's tradename for their driver assistance suite of technologies and it's entirely appropriate and 100 times more sophisticated than the best marine autopilots I've used. This is the proper comparison as many more motorists have some exposure to marine autopilots vs. aeronautical autopilots. The name is appropriate - you have been brainwashed by the FUD. As the system continues to improve and become the defacto industry standard by which all other automotive autopilots are measured, it will prove to have been a serious mistake to bow to the very interests that seek to harm Tesla and the movement to sustainable energy. It's no secret that Houston, where the latest crash FUD comes from, is an oil area.
There aren't many people around who have a lower opinion of the average person's intelligence than I do. Given that, I still think this is pearl clutching. Nobody bypasses the seatbelt sensors because they were too dumb to understand that autopilot doesn't drive itself. It takes a bit of intelligence to get around the safety features.as OP said words matter ... and the name "AutoPilot" implies way too much at this point in time ...been using AP for 4 years and it still does a lot
OK, so it's just a poll - but it seems to be to be a very clear signal that _many_ voters are tired of a government that gives low priority to the environment.Anybody from Germany want to comment on a poll showing that the greens are leading ? What will it mean in terms of environmental policy and specifically Tesla ?
Trademarked that one...but for a small fee.....Better yet Unpilot. Get it done while he's on his walk.
