  • The robo taxi isn’t until 2026 if you make the assumption it’s on time and is autonomous.

    Tesla has said Full Self Driving is coming next year for like 9 straight years in a row, and the only thing that came out of that was “obviously FSD is a marketing term, only an idiot would have bought FSD and thought they get an autonomous vehicle”

    Space X pushed the hyper loop when California pitched their idea of building high speed rail throughout the state, and once they gave space X a grant and cancelled their plans, he dropped the project.

    Tesla’s value comes from vibes and the potential of what some vaporware technology could be worth if they could actually build it.

    I mean honestly, if Tesla could build an autonomous vehicle that could pay for itself in 1 year from taxi fares, why would they sell that to the public? They’d make way more keeping it to themselves or maybe franchising it out. A complete monopoly on the autonomous taxi industry sold for $45,000? Yeah, right.














  • Elons two main businesses only exist because of government handouts. 7500 electric vehicle tax credit over 100,000s of cars is well into the billions. With how close Tesla came to insolvency, the ability to reach more customers surely saved Tesla.

    And spaceX (and more money for starlink) he has got billions more directly and is slated to receive even more even though SpaceX has missed deadlines over and over and the goal of propping up SpaceX was so we could have a cheaper option than Russia to getting people to the ISS is now not even on the table.

    What’s the over/under twitter gets government subsidies with some paper thin argument like “it’s the public square of the Internet, so it’s basically a park, and since we get 10x the yearly visitors than the grand canyon, we deserve 10x it’s budget to help maintain our “free speech” park”
