@Camp4 To be clear it is overall a great car. But there's a long way to go in situations that are very much not edge cases for urban drivers. I previously trained over 100 commercial drivers, and it still has habits that are troubling or just rude long-term.

@Camp4 You're clearly your own man and not an Elon Stan so I'll just say: this is very much not what robotaxi stats say. "Solved" is lifting far above its weight class here. Join my long commute through the Bay Area sometime rather than rural, and you will see how much it still isn't

We did a family road trip to Taos this week. 5 hours each way. Our Model Y did 100% of the driving. Zero interventions. One 12-min stop each way to charge during a bathroom break. Two 25-min charges in Taos while shopping. $57 total. Three things: 1) Most people don’t know that self-driving is solved. It’s mind-blowing and alleviates a surprising amount of mental load. When the supervision requirement is removed, it will be an even bigger game-changer. 2) Once you drive a Tesla, all other cars feel like relics from a bygone era. There are lots of subtle features that you don’t notice until you drive a regular car again. 3) Tesla is light years ahead of all other automakers and that gap will only grow because no other car company can design from first principles.

@LamarMK I'd pay 20 to $30 a month for FSD grade lane keeping that wasn't shaky and scary like auto steer. In urban Bay Area, simply not good enough to justify 99 yet, although I do pay for it because I have a long commute and frankly sometimes need to work on the way. Disengage regularly

A lot of people don't want to pay $99 a month for FSD. So they don't even try it. Drop the price to $49.99 and suddenly it's an easy decision. Add a 6-month plan for $279 or a yearly plan for $499, and now it's a no-brainer. We saw what happened when Tesla offered the Cybertruck for $59K. Demand took off. Same thing would happen with FSD. Lower the price. Get more people in the door. Let the tech sell itself.

@tyromper Funny, my dad is as healthy as yours, 76, gets all shots and checkups w/o incident. Same at long term care home he still works at, where some people are pushing or exceeding 100. Mom sailed through cancer treatment eating whatever she wanted. This is called "confirmation bias"

I 100% notice this & agree with it too! My folks are about to turn 69. (Go ahead & laugh teenagers :) My mom was diagnosed with cancer over a decade ago & was offered CUPCAKES before her chemo. The Dr. actually said "SUGAR was good medicine." After that she's been fanatical about basically going the opposite of everything mainstream health "experts" suggest. 10 years in remission. Runs & lifts daily. Super healthy. My dad REFUSED the Covid jab. Got heated & when the Dr. told him "at your age this is foolish!" My dad said, "I don't take health advice from a guy 30 years younger than me than can't do as many pushups as I can!" He ignores almost all mainstream advice & has done the opposite of what the "experts" recommend. He lifts, runs, & bikes daily. He's been logging runs for 4 decades & is about to go over 100,000 miles run! It's good to always ask questions. It's wise to stay true to what your convictions are & not waver.

Saturday, out to dinner with the lady in SF: major but uncomplicated merge, slammed on the brakes to a near stop to yield to a Prius approaching in a different lane behind us. All it had to do was speed up slightly. Could have caused pile up if I weren't a fast attentive driver

Put me in HOV lane for third time this week, despite HOV being explicitly disabled in settings

Blocked, which perfectly sums up the fanboy mentality. I'm truly hopeful we will get there w FSD eventually. It is laughably not ready, and that's extremely apparent to anyone who is a) a good driver b) uses it daily in complex environments c) not sunk cost delusional into #TSLA

@caitoz Just throw on that burka and head to the Middle East already

@AlexBerenson How do the weeds tie into this? Are the weeds in the room with you right now?

Oh, look, another normal flu season has come and gone. Remember, kids: 1: Aside from Covid, which virologists CAUSED - we haven't had a major respiratory virus epidemic in over a century. 2: Covid and flu "vaccines" do zilch (except cause side effects). Don't believe the hype

@xiongmaoxuanchn It's fun to see all the coping tankie bitches in this thread.

Notice how Iranian veterans move on to get a PhD while American veterans mostly sit crying in cars, with severe PTSD.

@thisguyknowsai @realmarcusjones @DiscountedTr How long have you been fellating hormozi? Quite the dick whipped little attack chihuahua aren't you?

@realmarcusjones @DiscountedTr As a general rule anyone with a burner account is likely broke

> 5'7" manlet pumped full of more chemicals than his business model > Sells courses on buying businesses to people who can't afford businesses > Gym Launch franchisees sued him for promising 6-figure revenues that never materialized > His $100M portfolio is mostly paper valuations of companies he helped create then bought back > Bald head shinier than his fabricated success stories > Runs acquisition workshops for $5K while his own margins are thinner than his hairline > Former employees say he fires people for missing impossible metrics he designed to justify terminations > Preaches business fundamentals while operating a glorified info-product pyramid scheme > Face looks permanently constipated from holding in all those fake revenue numbers > Built his empire selling dreams to finance nightmares for everyone dumb enough to believe him

@thisguyknowsai @Bonecondor @DiscountedTr You are desperately stupid and have never worked in business, clearly. He'd be in jail if his customers got no value? Lololololol

1. If he sold products to people who got no value from them he wouldn’t be rich. Or he’d be in jail not in an X thread 2. All lawsuits are public record. You can verify this isn’t true. 3. This isn’t even a negative thing lol. That’s how you build real wealth 4. Obviously not bald lol. I can go on but as you can see these claims are either false or just opinion (rooted in stupidity) But I’m well aware the internet is dumb. Just enjoying my few mins of freedom today and banting with these clowns

@AlexReimer1 Weather has entered the chat.

All of this debate about living in the suburbs makes me realize that New England is so unique. Many of the suburbs around Boston have cute and walkable downtowns and are downright bucolic. The best suburbs in the country, along with metro NY and NJ.

@BowTiedHRT Chicken and broccoli is all you need

Heavy Squats and Deads produce more testosterone than you would get out of TRT as do: Perfect diet, 7-9 hours of sleep per night, Blue Light Blockers, etc.. 36 eggs per day are equal to a Dbol cycle. And other myths brought to you by X today.

@ggreenwald Not much of a student of history including recent history, are you dipshit?

All Israel has to do is lay down its weapons, surrender, and these attacks will stop. Pretty simple.

@BarkNyrk @AgustinLebron3 Stiller lived to be almost 93. We have no evidence that Joe will. Yes, cosmetic treatments have improved but that has nothing to do with cellular health

@AgustinLebron3 what do you mean what they got to show for it?

So it's been roughly 20 years since the modern anti-aging/life-extension movement got going. What do they have to show for those 20 years? Anything at all? Rapa is a joke, metformin, NAD precursors are bullshit, etc. Exercise and not being obese is still the winner.

@Alexfeinberg @GuruAnaerobic This is the extremely simple solution to the unnecessary conflict

@GuruAnaerobic Calf to waist ratio!!

My intuition, observation, and experience tells me the opposite - people with big calves die earlier.

@baddiemaddie43 Bitch, we have trees and greenbelts and no shitting tweakers outside our doors. She past 15 and get back to me

The city vs suburb discourse is hilarious to me because you can’t convince me you’re happy living in a place that you have to use a car to go to a local coffee shop…

@Quotendeutsche Oppressive socialist/communist systems lack redundancy and robustness. Hope this results in the overthrow of the regime, finally, after so many miserable decades

Was die Amerikaner gerade Kuba antun ist einfach abseits jeder menschlichen Vorstellungskraft.

@ThaddeusRussell You are deranged. Not a single Iranian American I know is rooting for the regime, hardly any I know except completely off the rails hard leftists with no actual moral locus are rooting for them (And that's pathological), and anyone with a brain can differentiate the people vs gov

This is the first war in the history of the United States global empire, launched in 1776, in which large numbers of American citizens, perhaps a majority of those who follow the news, are rooting for the enemy.

@mehdirhasan Man, that 6 million sounds so familiar. I'm trying to think of another persecuted group where 6 million were actually killed rather than displaced by a group that wanted to see them eradicated. Not sure if it's related

The Israeli government has displaced a total of 6 million people from their homes. (3 million Iran, 2 million Gaza, 1 million Lebanon). 6 million people. The equivalent of the entire population of Maryland displaced from their homes. By one government.
