I think it would have been pretty cool if they had some guy in the autopilot just giving a small presentation and then half way though he takes control to pull into a corner lot. He then programs a new destination into the autopilot and off it takes them. Wouldn't even be that hard to preprogram. I dunno how the demo was so lame when his presentation was so desperate. Maybe it is all part of some genius plan, but it really seems like hes imploding

It would be cool if they had something cool to show... It's 2019... You don't publish a garbage quality video if you're actually trying to show off something cool.

Why not show how it handles stop lights and stop signs at intersections in real time? Or any other new cool capability? Sure, speed up the boring highway parts, but come on.

A 12 year old with a gopro could literally produce a better quality video in an hour.

It's pretty cool that the driver was able to type in the destination by simply flicking the windshield wiper stick twice

Yeah you just input the latitude and longitude by the timing of the taps. Takes a bit of practice but it's super cool technology.

This is comical. They have nothing at all. Their 2016 FSD video was far more impressive (that was a hardcoded route).

FSD "feature complete" by the end of 2019? Liar and fraud is lying and frauding again.

And in case anyone doesn't know, there was a strict ban on any kind of photography or video recording during the Autonomy Investor Day demos. You can decide for yourself what that + the published super low quality video could mean.

It's hilarious watching actual Tesla owners and fanboys bag this:
Yet the insane clownboy Spurious thinks they're ahead with this utter trash that can't handle basic common conditions on highways like sunlight, vs fully autonomous taxi services in multiple cities deployed for over a year for GM + Waymo employees and early adopters...amazing stuff.

Musk has cucked his mind really well.

Lot of shorts have 2020 puts, a raise would hurt

I think they're in deep crap with demand but a large raise gets them to Y (perhaps 2x 3 market given that they're a semi-crossover) and maybe pickup and keeps the circus going. I actually think pickup will be a superstar seller for them with great margins. It's a paradigm changer for campers, tradesman, various workers. AWD torque and speed in a sexy pickup with a 100 KW or so of available power to plug into, which business owners can write off the tax - people will pay a large premium for that. The economics and market dynamics of it make sense whereas $35K Model 3 never did.

I disagree, also the Venn diagram of people will to spend 70k on a model 3 vs those willing to spend 70k on a MY is a circle and that circle is tapped out.


The Tesla fad is dying, I don’t think any product changes that and with it dying the sales of 100k margin rich products goes with it, and that was the only viable path to surviving for them imo.

A funny point was made in twitter about if musk could only raise but at a price below his margin call what would he do? I know it’s not that simple but the paradox is funny.

The loss of S/X volume - even with prices dropped 40K euro overnight!!!!! - is a disaster for them for sure. I agree that the Y is a bit of a mess and not very exciting and will be too late, but the extra seats and size open a 3x larger market (crossover vs sedan).

I maintain that the electric pickup, if it ever gets made, will be huge for hundreds of thousands of tradesmen, farmers, campers, etc.

It's possible no one will touch a raise given that Tesla demand seems to be imploding. Never underestimate dumb money though. Larry Elison put a large amount of money in Theranos. Theranos! He was even an advisor to the charlatan. Many of New York's intelligent wealth Jews were invested with Madoff. Stupid people are stupid and can't spot a con.

tooth, is it stupidity or greed?

That's probably why he planned this hopeful FSD pump.. he needs the price higher in order to raise without being skewered by his margin call.

It's probably no coincidence that earnings were hastily moved forward to the 24th.. is he planning a raise announcement at earnings?

Was going to buy a Model S, but decided to buy 2 Model 3s instead. planning on using one exclusively as a robotaxi. I figure at 18c a mile for 1 million miles I will make 180k. Not a bad return for a 40k investment.

In before the robo taxi surplus leads to robo buses crunching the entire robo-taxi industry

18c a mile is the claimed cost I think...in reality you charge like 60c a mile, still massively undercutting taxi/ride sharing and pocket the difference of $400K.

Wow, sick returns. Maybe I will buy two more.

I think this happened today. Waiting for Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed to confirm.

According to the article that Model S was only 6 months old and spontaneously caught fire.

Legit lold

LOL if you can make $200k by renting it out as a robo taxi why are they selling them for $40k? You hear dumb **** like that from scam artists all the time.

The car manufacturing model wasn't working for them so they're transitioning into a full blown pyramid scheme. It's a pretty natural progression tbh

The product rendering they used was a standard interior sans steering wheel. I still have not seen one comment anywhere about the cabin design. If its fsd, has no steering wheel or pedals, why hasn't there been any upgrade to the interior?

Try these 3 tricks to build wealth. Ride sharing companies HATE them!
