I’m so sure that this will happen…

      I used to about some things, like when he talked about the how the spaceX rockets worked, but then he went insane. And now I’ve heard there’s a pretty good chance that starship isn’t gunna archive much at all, because its too heavy from the stainless steel they used to make it.

    Tesla will begin its roll out of its self-driving Robotaxi fleet in multiple US cities in the months to come, already taking appropriate regulatory steps in both California and Texas.

    Anyone want to take bets on how many deaths/injuries will there be before they’re pulled?

    Infinite is valid all things considered.

      Not really. I mean that would require a timeline where humanity is both stupid enough to keep Tesla around and survives indefinitely which is highly unlikely.

          Okay, in that case I guess it is possible that we are stupid enough to keep them around and stupid enough to wipe ourselves out so soon that they will be around until the end of humanity.

    He forgot to give us the point values…

    Ran Over… Reward Points…
    Child 20
    Cat 10
    Dog 15
    Adult 25

    I wonder what they’ll offer in the Tesla rewards shop

      Run over Reward
      CEO - 100000 points

      Edit: updated into a table to clarify that I meant MINUS 100000 points, Life of one CEO is much more important to (f)Elon than lifes of us peasants.

          Yup, initially the first comment was not in a table but was a list in format “[run over]-[revard]”… Stupid me, assumed these were penalty points.

          Then you changed it to the table format, I realised my mistake… And then had to learn how to put tablets to Lemmy comments (I didn’t know we could do that!)

            lol, glad I clarified it. I was going to leave it vague and then remembered tables.

            Also, yes. Markdown is the shit and I’m glad Lemmy didn’t try to reinvent the wheel!

    This is such obvious BS. Putting aside that Tesla are always making claims about self driving that they can’t deliver on, let’s just consider the basic logistics of doing this for any customer who lives more than about 300km from a Tesla factory (of which there are two IIRC, and one of those is in Austin and the other is in Fremont)…

    How the fuck is the car going to recharge?

    It’s not like it’s going to plug itself in, and there are no staff at Tesla supercharger stations as far as I’m aware. With the range on a typical Model S even getting to LA might be tough if it gets stuck in traffic. Fremont to LA is just under 600km if you’re lucky.

      It could stop at Tesla “dealerships” along the way and have the staff plug them in, or have fancy robotic chargers at just those locations. Surely there are enough “dealerships” that this is feasible for most people.
