    Because if you have something of great value but don’t have the ability to produce enough to realize the profits yourself and your older units are increasing in value, you need to license it to actually realize those profits yourself instead of old customers

    Tesla is the only company that has killed people with their self driving technology as well

    Yea I could see your point, they could also horde the tech and focus on scaling production.

    For example Apple never gave another phone manufacturer the keys to IOS.

    Yup, unfortunate stuff. But you are also supposed to pay attention to your car under autopilot.

    Self driving will have bumps along the way but it won’t be approved by regulators until its proven its safer than human driving statistically.

    It wild. Those buildings aren't necessarily the safest but the rate of construction is incredible. Watched them build a skyscraper outside my window and it felt like time-lapse it went so fast.

    Not a very good comparison. No one was paying over MSRP for an iphone because they never had production issues except maybe a handful when they first came out

    I guess one of the TSLAQ guys gaknight likes to post caught himself a restraining order chasing model 3 obviously being used for filming a video for Tesla.

    tl;dr: clipped from reddit:
    Regarding the April 16th rumor of a FSD demo being filmed, the respondent "pursued these employees on the public highway for about 35 minutes, variously driving ahead of, beside, and behind them, and swerving dangerously close to the vehicle. Respondent swerved so close to the side of the Tesla that the vehicle's side-collision (crash) avoidance safety feature was triggered to engage an emergency maneuver to avoid the collision".

    Apparently they’ve had other run ins with this dude as well

    Following, driving recklessly, trying to swerve into these dudes multiple times while they were filming a video to set off autopilot features.

    The shit people do towards this company is fucking weird.

    So this whole situation evolves around Tesla’s “Autonomy day” being held for investors tomorrow in Palo Alto.

    For those that don’t know Tesla has been developing its own Self Driving chip custom
    made for its neural network (dubbed HW3), to date all cars have a NVIDIA Chip in them and prior to that a Mobileeye Chip.

    28391506-9856-4698-A6FE-E15FB74918EA.png

    In the restraining order Tesla states what they will be doing tomorrow. It’ll be a showing off of HW3 capabilities and the under development features of self driving most likely via on road demos.

    Hey The Banks I remember we had a convo on here regarding range loss in cold at one point. Triple AAA did a study recently figured I’d share it. It’s fairly close to the information I crowdsourced and shared with you earlier.


    https://www.aaa.com/AAA/common/AAR/files/AAA-Electric-Vehicle-Range-Testing-Report.pdf

    Key findings portion is on page 57/58.

    The heater/HVAC is the big drain on range, I’ve read of people just using the seat heaters due to better efficiency and less drain on the battery.

    Shit that's just 20 degrees. We drive vehicles yearly at 60 degrees colder than that.
