@FredLambert @nymbusjp spent a career attempting to solve FSD using lider, radar, etc. You may wish to find his threads and review them. If he is correct, and I think he is, then your comments are as profoundly mistaken as the China gigafactory comments of Linette Lopez.

Xiaomi's cars now have lidar, high-def radar, and cameras with auto cleaning. But sure, "no one will ever catch up to Tesla"

@michaelshermer FYI, Hoover Dam was built by the US government between Arizona and Nevada.

If the Hoover Dam was built today in California it would never be completed, would cost tax payers billions of dollars, and ultimately homeless people would turn the construction site into a tent city.

NO! California's electricity prices are twice as high as Nevada's for the specific reason that California deregulated their electricity market. That gave opportunity to Enron as well as causing the grid to not be properly maintained (see Paradise fire). Deregulation is the very worst possible thing you can do.

I’m begging other states to deregulate their electricity markets

@ramez FYI, the US government pays farmers to keep farmland out of production.

Ethanol mandates are in direct conflict with feeding the world, have no impact on American energy security, and are at best neutral for climate (probably negative). Kill them with fire. Sink them with the Jones Act.

@SamaHoole Now tell us about the vegetarian 7th Day Adventists. They have the highest longevity of any American population group. You probably have me muted, but I'll continue reminding people of this every time I see one of your misinformation campaigns.

What Americans think the Mediterranean Diet is: - Whole grains - Olive oil - Colourful vegetables - The occasional sad sardine - Moral virtue on a plate What Mediterranean people actually eat: - Lamb, constantly, at every celebration and several non-occasions - Pork in about fifteen formats - Salami, prosciutto, pancetta, 'nduja, and several more that haven't reached Sainsbury's - Fish multiple times a week - Eggs every morning without discussion - Cheese in quantities that would concern a British GP - Full-fat yoghurt, not the pastel-pot kind - Butter, cream, and animal fat as standard cooking mediums The French consume an extraordinary amount of cheese per person annually. They are not suffering. The Mediterranean Diet sold in books is the photogenic fifteen percent of what they actually eat. The olive oil is real. Everything else got quietly edited out.

Project 2025 pushed the myth that renewables were “unreliable” and overly dependent on subsidies. Of course, fossil fuel companies receive far more subsidies than renewables ever have, notes @MichaelEMann. cleantechnica.com/2026/03/19/can… #UnitedStates

@ChrisMartzWX Nuclear waste was considered such a problem that billions of dollars were spent attempting to create a nuclear waste repository in Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Writing as a Nevadan, I am all for nuclear waste being stored and reprocessed where it is created.

lol Nuclear waste can easily be stored in steel-lined concrete casks. The photo below shows what 45 years’ of nuclear waste looks like stored at the North Anna Nuclear Generating Station in Louisa County, VA. All of the waste that has been generated in the U.S. since 1950 would take up no more than an area the size of an American football field stacked to up to a depth of 10 yards. About 95% of spent fuel is still uranium (mostly U-238), so it is recyclable, albeit the U.S. doesn’t currently recycle those “waste” products. Please learn a thing or two about topics you’re speaking about before spouting incoherent nonsense, and pulling out the “white supremacist” label (as you did in your follow-up post) that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with this.

@Brownett @SawyerMerritt The Tesla Semi can pick up 300 miles of range in a 30 minute charging break. DOT regulations require a 30 minute break during a driver's 11 hour driving day. Convenient.

@SawyerMerritt If Semi batteries can get 10.5 hours life, that's good for long haul team truckers limited to 10 hours of driving per driver. Any life cycle shorter than 10 hours, (500 miles,) is inefficient.

WSJ: Tesla Finally Has Its First Semi-Truck and It’s Already a Hit With Truckers. "Truckers who drove it in pilot tests say they loved features including a centered driving position, faster charging and longer range for about $100,000 less than other battery-electric trucks. Angel Rodriguez, a 56-year-old truck driver for Hight Logistics in Long Beach, Calif., recently swapped out a 13-gear diesel truck for a Tesla Semi, which is automatic, for a one-month pilot test. “It’s just easier on your body. It’s less stressful because you’re not really having to engage the clutch and the stick shift.” Big F Transport employs five mechanics to service more than 40 diesel-powered rigs and a fleet of trailer chassis in Wilmington, Calif. “If we go all EV we will only need one [mechanic] to service chassis,” said Geovanny Melendez, the carrier’s VP of operations, who went to see the Semi earlier this month at a ride-and-drive event near the Port of Long Beach. Jennie Abarca, co-founder and CEO of King Fio Trucking in Long Beach, Calif., once worked as a truck dispatcher and her husband is a truck driver, so she knows all too well the toll a diesel engine takes on people’s lungs and hearing. She eventually wants to swap out King Fio’s 27 diesel trucks to create an all-electric fleet. King Fio already has 11 battery-electric trucks from Volvo and Nikola. But the company limits those trucks to shorter trips to and from local ports because they only have a range of about 225 miles. The Semi, by contrast, can travel 500 miles on a single charge, according to Tesla. For King Fio that means two or three round-trips a day from Long Beach to warehouses in the nearby Inland Empire or a single round-trip to Las Vegas. She has 20 Semis on order. “The Teslas change everything,” Abarca said. “It opens up a whole different type of delivery that I can make.”

@BballCoach14 @SawyerMerritt You done the cost per mile of diesel vs electric? At $6/gallon a diesel costs almost a dollar per mile. At $0.10/ per kWh and 1.6 kWh/mile, the Tesla Semi costs less than 20 cents per mile. Sorry about that house in Florida...😘

@SawyerMerritt @carsonight Higher cost per mile. These companies are not blinded by the smoke and mirrors show. Even at $6 gallon for diesel cost per mile is less than EV. This is before you factor in the 2 for 1 replacement. What happens when the incentives go away? I have property for sale in Florida 😂

@BrentHende36514 @YTJustGetATesla @Twizz7871 @rafal0077 That was the claim made by TheLastTesla@YTJustGetATesla

@YTJustGetATesla @Twizz7871 @rafal0077 She was not using FSD 🫵😂 you people are retarded.

So, to summarise the Texas Cybertruck crash: FSD is flawless and never makes mistakes and The woman should have taken over it’s her fault But if it was flawless and not to blame there would be no need for her to take over and slam the brakes on…

7 Within the next ten years, those companies that do not have the Tesla Semi or equivalent will find it increasingly difficult to compete. The last refuge for diesel will be long haul, until the Megacharger structure is built out.

6 If that were not enough, it's highly likely that once there are sufficient EV Semis on the road, diesel semis will be banned in an increasing number of locations. There is precedent: old diesels were banned in the ports when "clean" diesels were introduced.

1 What does the Hornsdale battery in Australia and the recent Tesla Semi test in Texas have in common? Everything. Logistics companies that do not have these are going to be at a competitive disadvantage going forward. reneweconomy.com.au/tesla-big-batt… tesery.com/blogs/news/tes…

@_bcbread @SawyerMerritt CDL here. Does fully chained through the 12,500 foot Eisenhower tunnel on I-70, past Vail and into Denver count?

@SawyerMerritt Holy shit…have ANY of you ever driven a manual transmission downhill pulling a trailer in the snow?
