Nobody understands how much of a disaster this Rivian <> Uber deal is
Rivian lost $3.6 billion last year on 42k deliveries. That's $86,000 of value destruction PER VEHICLE that left their factory.
Their solution? Partner with Uber to turn a $58K camping SUV into a robotaxi... to compete with Tesla's Cybercab... YIKES
Every 12-18 months, this company finds a new partner to write a check:
- Amazon: $1.3B equity + 100K van order
- VW: $5.8B joint venture
- US DOE: $6.6B loan
- Uber: $1.25B robotaxi deal (today)
The moment they announced the Uber deal, they admitted they're pushing back profitability AGAIN to fund an autonomy program that can't even handle stoplights.
Tesla's Cybercab is purpose built at $25,000 with no steering wheel. The cost per mile math isn't even close.
The Uber deal is to deploy 50,000 robotaxis by 2031.
Slight problem:
The car doesn't exist yet. The factory doesn't exist yet. The autonomy software doesn't exist. Manufacturing is HARD.
good luck have fun

@BlessedMom_7 @happyathome44 @Rothmus @elonmusk There is no indoctrination happening in the education system. You’re just brainwashed to believe that there is. Yes, the majority of educators are liberal because they’re not fucking morons.
English

What a stupid reply. Considering I have a college degree as a pharmacist, what is your degree in? How old are you?
The irony of you bringing up propaganda, which is what the liberal educators keep trying to indoctrinate in our children! Luckily, my children are also well educated. They never fell for their liberal professors, elementary school teachers or high school teachers trying to brainwash them.
No teacher has a right to spew their political beliefs, opinions or try to indoctrinate our children. And, if the roles were reversed where there were more Republican educators spewing their propaganda upon your children, I believe you'd be having a conniption.
My sister is an elementary school teacher, who's a Republican. She has NEVER, or ever would, try to indoctrinate her students based on her opinions or political beliefs. Do you not understand the job of educators in our school system? 🤡

@oi8achevy @NotATeslaApp @rhensing @elonmusk @aelluswamy Trust me it’s just as shit in the cities. I grew up in rural KS and have experience with FSD in KC and when going to visit my parents. The only solution I can see is to stop using OSM and to cut a deal with Google or Apple.
English

If we don’t get map errors fixed prior, many of us outside the populous bubbles will still have crippled robots. No version of robot is going to compensate when a high speed road is defaulted by the map data to 25mph or some lower value. It’s a very messy problem to fix. They literally need to send people back out and validate every mile of every roads speed limits. Rural USA doesn’t have much for physical speed limit signage so there’s no other solution but to have accurate map data.

FSD v14 Lite: @elonmusk & @aelluswamy, is there an update you can share on the progress of FSD v14 Lite for HW3 vehicles?

English

@LouieLoop @niccruzpatane We’ll get it once the S/X are fully phased out. It’ll still have shit range and charging tho.

The Tesla Model Y L is nearly $16,000 USD ($22K AUD) cheaper than the base level Kia EV9 in Australia.

English

@niccruzpatane German cars are adapted for German conditions including the autobahn, that is why they feel so much better and safer at 200+ kmh than French or US cars, at this speed (which is common in Germany) EV range is dramatically lower, probably not even 300 km for the iX3.
English

Unless you’re driving 500+ miles per day, you don’t need an EV with that much range.
The average person drives around 37 miles per day. Current Tesla offerings provide way more than enough for the vast majority of people.
On road trips, I can usually only drive about two hours before I need to get out, stretch my legs, etc. During that time, my car charges. It’s not the inconvenience people think it is.
It doesn’t make sense to lug around a huge battery when most people don’t actually use that capacity.

William Shatner@WilliamShatner
When Tesla’s get to 500 miles per charge; I’ll think about one. BTW there’s an app that allows Waze to work. 🙄 #thinkIdontknow? 🥱😑
English

@niccruzpatane Copium. People want range and we all know that 330 mile range becomes 250 or less real quick unless you’re driving 72mph or below in perfect temps. It’s annoying to stop for 10 mins every 120 miles. Tesla has fallen behind in range and charging speed.

@brittanybussemd @jerseyh0mo Just as toxic in its own way is many gays obsession with the gym but just to bring him down a notch I’ve dated several guys that would eat him for lunch! 😂😂

@jerseyh0mo Have these guys seen "the gays?" Those guys perfected Looksmaxxing long before it was a thing

there was a time not long ago when masculinity was associated with intelligence, professionalism, creativity and being a gentleman. now it’s synonymous with being a caveman.

@Bizzzzzzzzzzzi @Coinvo Lmao when have you experienced failure? I’ve had the same TV for 7 years. My MacBook from 2015 works fine. My phone that I use for multiple hours/day for 3 years has never had an issue. My monitor that I work on 40 hours/week for 6 years has no issues. Screen failure is rare.
English

@Coinvo Analog buttons are sold safety boost. If your screen breaks, than what? Cant do shit with your “car”. Screens are good but not as one and only option to control operation. Credit where credit is due.
English

@niccruzpatane The range and charging is eating Tesla’s lunch. It’s embarrassing that the best they can do on the MY is 357 miles and 250kw. Tesla is stagnating while they should be at the forefront.
English

BMW has officially debuted their new i3 Sedan.

@roborat14 @armyk93 @niccruzpatane You know this because you’re an AI researcher with a fundamental understanding of current model capabilities or you’re just going off of vibes? 🙄
English

@armyk93 @niccruzpatane If you only use a camera - it’s a severe AI problem.
You compensate this with LiDAR to get to get to level 4 like Waymo and others.
L5 requires super AGI which is 20 years away.

@CiaranDanielz 16 or 17 when I admitted it to myself but I knew way before then. I never had any interest in girls. 13 when I started becoming aware of my sexuality and it was always boys in my class and the locker room that turned me on. Just couldn’t admit it to myself lmao

@itskyleconner Model Y should have 400+ range and better charging. Tesla fumbling 😔

@jb_madmax17 @ampalsson @tommysantos14 The senate is designed to be inefficient. It’s the upper chamber that forces compromise.

When Trump leaves office:
The Department of War will go back to being the Defense Department.
The Trump Kennedy Center will go back to being the Kennedy Center.
The Gulf of America will once again be the Gulf of Mexico.
The unfinished East Wing (it won't be finished by the end of Trump's term) will be rebuilt by the next president, and it will not be a ballroom.
Federal agencies packed with unqualified loyalists will fire those people and rehire the career experts Trump fired.
The Department of Justice will go back to enforcing the law instead of protecting the president.
Scientific agencies like NOAA, the EPA, and the CDC will go back to publishing research without political interference.
The U.S. will re-align with its allies and not with its enemies.
The presidential pardon power will stop being used as a rewards program for loyalists.
Inspectors General will go back to investigating corruption instead of getting fired for it.
The White House press room will go back to having briefings, with real journalists and not podcasters.
U.S. foreign policy will stop revolving around flattering dictators.
And the world will progress as though Donald Trump never existed.

@noodlebrett Ok? Why the quote tweet? You asked for the data source and I provided it. If you don’t want to read it that’s not my problem.

'TERRIFYING': Dashcam video shows the moment a Tesla Cybertruck, allegedly operating in self-driving mode, nearly sent a Houston mom and her infant off a bridge before violently crashing into an overpass barrier.
The woman claims she suffered multiple injuries from the incident and is now suing the automaker for $1 million.
English

@noodlebrett @hackagibson @FoxNews FSD-S is statistically safer than humans with 1 crash every 6 million miles vs. 1 crash every 700k miles for U.S. drivers. These are not FSD-U (unsupervised) statistics. The data shows that FSD-Supervised significantly reduces crashes. You don’t have to believe it but it’s true.
English

@hackagibson @FoxNews I've had Tesla drivers stand 10 toes down that self driving is safer than a person. I don't believe it but that's what they say.
English

@ampalsson @JohnFromUCLA @tommysantos14 @jb_madmax17 Fuck Trump and fuck you too! You know little of what you speak and the smugness is unbearable.
English

How are you going to determine absent Trump, who are MAGAts and who are not?
Honestly, the issue with the constitution and the electoral law is a far bigger issue than a handful of obese trailer park residents who are easily manipulated.
The ability to be elected President regardless of criminal history, the limitless amount of money that can be spent to buy a President and the indirect electoral system (State based electors)
These things not changing, there is nothing in the way of Americans electing a Trump 3, 4 and 5 and something even worse.
Until then, I can only see the USA on a rapid path to isolation, void of trust by anyone
