A lot of people in the comments think all EVs must have a skateboard design with the driver sitting on top of the battery, leading to sedans tall beltlines and that awful crossover look. This is simply not true. Rimac designed its batteries in an H shape so the driver can still have a proper low seating position. Caterham is also working on a similar design.

I just asked ChatGPT to make a 4-door electric Ferrari- it’s pretty good at this. I bet this version would be more popular than Jony Ive’s!

@future_yas I like the car fine, but I have a feeling it would be better received as $40k car from a Chinese brand (ditch the premium controls and materials).

Leave it to Legacy Auto dealers to mislabel a Model Y Standard as premium and charge +$5k over MSRP for a USED one. Can go buy one brand new for $5k less

Ferrari has just officially unveiled its first ever all-electric car, called the Ferrari Luce. • Starting price: $640,000 • Interior co-designed with Apple's former head of design, Jony Ive • Range: 280 miles (expected EPA) • Peak charging speed: 350kW • 122 kWh battery • 1,050 horsepower • 0-60mph: 2.4s • 800v • Four-door four-seater • Four electric motors • OLED screens • Weight: 4,982 lbs • Front motors spin to 30,000 rpm, rears hit 25,500 rpm • Car uses an accelerometer to capture real vibrations from the electric motors & rear chassis. An algorithm filters out unpleasant frequencies and amplifies only the more “musical” sounds. This can be heard inside and outside the car. • Paddle shifter on steering wheel changes how aggressively torque is delivered, with five different levels • The trunk has 21.1 cubic feet of space, the largest luggage capacity the company has ever offered • 197.6 inches long, about as long as a Tesla Model S U.S. deliveries start in Q2 2027.

Just because the fundamental IP is based on Gemini models does not mean it's the same Gemini you use today. As they said, Gemini technology will power future Apple Foundational Models. Apple cameras are designed with Apple, made by Sony, but very different than any other Sony camera Apple displays are designed with Apple, made by LG and Samsung, but very different than other LG/Samsung displays (pixel layout, color accuracy, HDR capability, etc) Apple's glass is designed by Apple, made by Corning and very different from other Corning glass (ceramic coating, anti reflective coating, material blend) Many examples of this.

@mweinbach how do you think it works out with Apple Intelligence when it’s going to be mostly Gemini Inside?

@Radios4Freedom Nah they just give you a remanufactured battery pack if you have any issues under warranty, which also has some degradation.

@future_yas So, buy it now, hurry! Only $2500 US for a new battery. Just make sure your battery dies in the next 2 years.

Poof! A quarter of your range just disappeared. 🪄 76% battery health for a 2022 M3LR with 119k miles. The battery warranty is 8yr/120k miles, 70% degradation. It's like Tesla tweaked the battery chemistry in the last few years to just get you through the warranty. Of course they'll happily sell you battery extended warranty for $2000 - $2,800. Planned obsolescence vibes.

@future_yas You tend to want to drive a vehicle as much as possible with like over 200k miles before distributing it everywhere.

It looks like the driver of the cybercab isn’t even using FSD from the way he has his hand on the steering wheel. I don’t get it, this is a supposedly production version of the cybercab so what are they still testing on it aside from FSD. Are they in such early stages of testing FSD on cybercab that the drivers still have to keep their hands on the wheel?

It’s a test mule / validation vehicle, not a final production Cybercab. facebook.com Production Cybercabs (the ones meant for customers or the robotaxi fleet) are built without a steering wheel or pedals — they’re designed from the ground up for unsupervised Full Self-Driving (FSD), with no manual controls. foxnews.com What MKBHD filmed is almost certainly one of Tesla’s early test fleet vehicles (often called “RC” or release candidate mules). These have removable/temporary steering wheels and pedals installed specifically so engineers and safety drivers can: • Manually drive for data collection (vehicle dynamics, efficiency, suspension tuning, thermal management, etc.). • Intervene during FSD testing on public roads while the autonomy stack is still being validated and improved for the new Cybercab hardware (different camera positions, body shape, weight distribution, etc.). • Meet current regulatory requirements — fully driverless operation without controls is heavily restricted in most places, so test vehicles need fallback manual controls. facebook.com Tesla has openly said that any Cybercabs spotted with steering wheels are not production units — the controls are added purely for testing/validation and get removed later. facebook.com Why manual driving right now? • FSD adaptation — The Cybercab has unique hardware vs. Model Y/3/Cybertruck. Tesla needs real-world miles to refine the neural nets for its cameras, sensors, and dynamics. • Mechanical validation — Even if FSD is mature, they’re still checking ride quality, range at highway speeds, NVH (noise/vibration), suspension, braking feel, etc. on this new platform. • Safety/regulatory buffer — Early testing on highways often keeps a safety driver with hands ready, especially for a brand-new vehicle shape. • Small fleet size — With limited early units, manual driving helps gather diverse data quickly. This is standard practice across the industry (Waymo, Cruise, Zoox, etc. all used safety drivers extensively). Tesla is further along than most, but they’re not yet at 100% unsupervised scale on the Cybercab platform everywhere. instagram.com In short: the gold one with the visible driver is a development car, not the finished robotaxi. The no-controls production versions are already rolling out of Giga Texas, but the full unsupervised rollout is still ramping. That’s why the driver had his hands on the wheel.

@thequeenbeetle Just wait until they get Colossus 3 data center built on the moon! Surely by the end of this year! 😅

Okay, let's try this slowly. Market cap measures what people will pay for a stock. It does not measure competence, judgment, or whether a company knows what it's doing. These are different things. I'll wait while you process that. By your logic: - Enron knew what they were doing (peak: $70B) Lehman Brothers knew what they were doing ($60B) - Theranos knew what they were doing ($9B, valued by sophisticated investors who, per your framework, also knew what they were doing) - Boeing currently knows what they're doing while door plugs eject themselves from airplanes mid-flight ($110B) Tesla specifically: - Recalled every single Cybertruck ever built. Multiple times. - Has been "one year away" from full self-driving since 2016. - Nearly bankrupted itself building the Model X because Musk insisted on falcon-wing doors he later admitted were a mistake. - Quietly killed the solar roof in everything but name. Apple, the most valuable company in human history, makes mistakes constantly. Every trillion-dollar company on Earth employs an army of lawyers specifically because they screw up at scale. "They're worth a lot of money so they must be right" is the argument of someone who has confused the scoreboard with the rulebook.

@future_yas The Samsung Gear S was a lot like this 12 years ago. Minimal sensors (it did still have them), more of a wrist computer. I wish they continued this product design path.
