@DevinOlsenn I would rather it just drives straight rather than assume I want to go somewhere

FSD V14.3.3 New Notification
When you start a drive with FSD and do not have an address in you get this message on the screen.
It stayed up for a minute or two before going away.
English
@wholemars If I was just going to amd from my business, I would be prob 99%
As an Uber driver in seattle, I'm sitting at 92%
English
@WallStreetApes Ubers in NYC are the only ones in the country actually regulated by the TLC and have strict standards.
English
Investigation finds 25% of DoorDash drivers did not match their profiles
A man who’s driven for Uber and Lyft for a decade says he’s heard of driver fraud
“I can buy myself a ready-to-go account to either drive Uber, Lyft, or deliver, so I don't have to steal anybody's ID. The work has been done already. I'll just pay the middleman a few hundred dollars and I'm delivering or driving passengers”
This is EXTREMELY dangerous because these people aren’t just delivering food, Americans and kids are getting into cars with unvetted drivers
Reminder, in New York there was a huge scandal that exposed illegals were setting up accounts for these companies. Some also bought profiles
We have to get these people out of America
The New York scandal is the well documented 2023 black-market economy for gig delivery accounts for Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub that involved newly arrived illegal immigrants without work authorization
The illegals paid $100–$500+ per period to rent or buy access to existing legal drivers’ accounts. They used the verified profiles which passed background checks

@wholemars We want rivian to survive as their own company!
English
I think they definitely want to. But Rivian wants to be an independent company. And so do their customers.
If they struggle ramping R2, Volkswagen will eat them up at the first chance they get.
Jaan of EVwire.com ⚡@TheEVuniverse
I think VW Group will acquire Rivian

@mbogoroch18 @PalmerLuckey Small business owner here.
I can run a targeted add campaign on Google that will hit the right people at the right time for less than I can send out a mass mail campaign for the 20-mile radius around my business.
English
Appreciate you engaging on this.
One point worth adding: the people running mail aren’t always Fortune 500s, they’re the local roofer, the family dentist, the new restaurant down the street. Ban it and their ad dollars don’t disappear, they get vacuumed into Meta and Google. The local guy can’t outbid a major corp or restaurant chain on Meta. But, perhaps he can outbid them in his own zip code in print
English
It is time for the United States Postal Service to ban junk mail.
Unsolicited spam calls are already prohibited by the FCC. Emails are heavily regulated by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Junk mail is the majority of mail, 100 million trees per year. Enough!

@TeslaBoomerMama Fred got one right...
But fred said it was bad for tesla

Lol
Redwood Materials@RedwoodMat
@FredLambert We agree! "This is one of those hires that makes perfect sense. Ahuja knows the battery industry’s financial dynamics better than most.. He understands battery economics, manufacturing scale-up costs, and the capital markets appetite for clean energy companies. Redwood needs exactly that right now."

FSD 4.3.1 avoids a car cutting into my lane on an Uber trip

Lincoln@MobofJoggers
Listen everyone. We are going to be seeing more and more and more of these.... Videos of FSD keeping families safe in ways that no other car company in the world can.
English
I wonder how many people complaining about FSD "making sudden lane changes" are unaware that it actually saved them from a bad accident they never saw coming (and it didn't occur to them to watch the side camera video)? 🤔
Stirling Forge (Unsupervised)@StirlingForge
Full Self Driving just saved our family from a highway speed collision with a guy who basically almost pit maneuvered me in my blind spot. When the reaction kicks in, it was like a forcefield, pushed us one lane over into empty drivable space. FSD is 1000x better than any insurance plan
English
@MainzOnX It just goes to show that not every Uber driver is like me
There are so many terrible drivers
English
Waymo rn is $40 but doesn’t require human communication… uber is $12 I’m actually tempted to just go Waymo
English
@teslafsd69 @garyblack00 It would be interesting
However, Gary has a point that with them partnering with waymo, it would def slow their decline.
Maybe even save the company.
This is not a sure thing either way imo
English
@garyblack00 @goinglongtessla Another 2 months and it will be the perfect time to start shorting $Uber
English
I asked Grok who were the ten most influential $TSLA analysts and content providers on X over the past year. The answer didn’t change much whether I asked for the ten “most influential” vs “most credible” vs “best”. Here was Grok’s response.
English
If market caps are similar and the same share count
That is a 1 to 1 ratio
100 shares of tesla
Elon has 20
100 shares of spacex
Elon has (voting control) 50
Would give him a 35% voting
However, we do not know how many shares of spacex will be put into the market
Like I said above, he wants more control over the companies. So if he puts out fewer shares but they trade the same, then his voting power will be increased.
It's all hypothetical until we know the exact share count of spacex
English
@goinglongtessla @TeslaBoomerMama Explain to me how it happens and your 70% math can happen plz
Market caps will likely be similar. If SpaceX cap is higher at the time, Tesla will get paid a premium, bringing them closer to equal.
English
I really want to make an effort to discuss topics, but how in the world can I reply to this?
Tyler Smith@T_Smith7671
@TeslaBoomerMama @osarood He’s 100% right. Please explain exactly how he’s wrong? He purposely entangled both Space X and Tesla in the terafab for leverage.

@Xi0490641429732 @TeslaBoomerMama Mergers are not always a 1 for 1
English
@Xi0490641429732 @TeslaBoomerMama You are assuming that it will be a 1 for 1
Then that's a divide by 2
He has stated that he wants to be like Ford / Meta / Berkshire
He wants super voting rights, so he can't be overrun and voted out.
English
@goinglongtessla @TeslaBoomerMama You forgot to divide by 2.
He has 20% voting rights of of one half and 50% voting rights of the other half.
In the new entity he’d have 35% if they merge as equals
English
@Xi0490641429732 @TeslaBoomerMama Goodness
I guess i should have put in fine print it will give him 70% voting rights.
However, i assumed ( my bad for thinking people could extrapolate the info out). Everyone would know this information.
English
@goinglongtessla @TeslaBoomerMama and if he had 100% ownership in tesla and in spacex, he would then have 200% ownership of the combined company? 😂
English
I get the sense that when Uber says “What about the workers?” what they really mean is “what about our profits?”
English
@808_38hz @wholemars O my goodness....
You might want to look into this more.
This means you literally have no idea how it works or how it would actually benefit the rank and file.
English
@wholemars Yeah she’s confused.
What isn’t confusing is the grotesque misalignment between rank and file Tesla employees and the obscene award shareholders approved for a single Tesla management member.
English
It saddens me to see this level of economic illiteracy. Creating a billion dollar company isn’t evil, and you don’t have to steal from workers.
Are you telling me the founders of Google, Facebook, Apple got rich by underpaying their workers and forcing them to get food stamps? No, they paid workers generously, and gave them free food at company cafeterias. These founders didn’t take from the company’s operating budget that was meant for payroll. They benefited from the appreciation of equity, and gave their employees access to the same equity appreciation.
What a dangerous way of thinking to claim that anyone who created value must have stolen it.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC
The single largest form of theft in America is wage theft. $50 billion a year are stolen from American workers. If a billionaire amasses their wealth by underpaying their full-time workers so severely that they must rely on food assistance and government programs to survive, then no, that wealth was not earned by one individual - it was a wealth transfer subsidized by underpaid American workers and the public who get stuck with the bill for large corporations free-riding off our systems. The point is less about individual morality. It’s more about how our current economic reality of shattering inequality rewards screwing over workers and exploiting essential systems at scale. We’re talking monopoly power. Rent-seeking. Wage theft. Profiteering. Stock buybacks. Destabilizing housing markets. Companies using SNAP/EBT to underwrite their wages. Massive government subsidies or contracts to corporations following lobbying and dark money in politics with little to no oversight or accountability. Some people get enraged that I draw attention to this. That’s on them. Let them call me shrill, dumb, inexperienced, girly, uneducated - these folks will say anything to distract from or undercut the truth that working people are getting screwed, and giving people a fair shake means we must have a grown conversation about reigning in abuse of power.
