Comment on Tesla’s in its flop era

  Musk thinks he already did that with the model 3, right? Billionaires have no concept of “affordable” after all.

    It’s the Model 2, which he has being talking about for years but it’s not clear if it will ever happen.

  Idk, I think the idea of selling trucks want bad. Americans love trucks. That being said, the execution seems very poor.

    The idea of a truck EV isn’t bad, look at Rivian for example. It was purely poor execution, no doubt attributed to Musk.

    The execution is very poor, and I’d rather these dangerous monstrosities go away and be replaced by smaller, less dangerous, and more practical vehicles. And ideally, car ownership will decline over the long term with viable alternatives to driving hopefully being developed across the world.

    Yes. Try living in DWF. The truck are the problem for all kinds of reasons.

        Disney World France?

        Dallas Worth Fort?

  Musk instead is now going all in with AI and Robotaxis.

    Probably realised that “full” self-driving the way people think of it is not likely to happen in our lifetimes. And Tesla’s existing system is an out and out scam.

    But I expect he’ll try and combine it with his stupid tunnel idea, instead of, I don’t know, a train?

      That was the original idea. It was supposed to be self-driving buses to get a higher throughput. Then the buses went away and were replaced by normal cars, and then self driving was replaced with human drivers. The convenient lift to get to the tunnels was replaced by normal escalators and what was left from all those lofty plans was the underground taxi farce, with rgb lighting.

        There’s no way in fucking hell ever that I would go into one of Muck’s underground death traps. It’s such an insanely dumb idea.

      It’s funny how so many were confident FSD really was safer than human drivers 10 years ago. Some even said it’s irresponsible not to let these self driving cars drive on the street.

        Some people are still claiming that.
