29 trillion Tesla robotaxis next year. Waymo is cooked.
Replying to @PlanOnPlanB @robotaxi
An 8x increase every 30 days from 300 compounds to roughly 29 trillion after 365 days (300 × 8^(365/30)).

Are you a “competent driver”?
Don’t be this guy. 🤦

I’m a competent adult. Why do I need an “AI agent” to check into a flight for me?
I’m literate. Why do I need an “AI agent” to read and write emails for me? Also, I don’t get so many emails that I can’t answer them myself.
The reason “no one uses AI” is that there’s no serious utility here for the vast majority of people.

Going somewhere with Tesla FSD is so annoying. I have to manually put on my seatbelt, then - to be fair it usually guesses my destination correctly - but then I have to lift my arm and hit start driving, then choose what I’m going to listen to on my ride.

It’s not just Lucid. I also plan to launch an autonomous platform: a million cars in Europe and 10 million in the U.S.! Still undecided on Latin America and Asia 🤔
A major step toward scaling autonomous mobility across Europe.
Lucid and Bolt are partnering to accelerate autonomous mobility across Europe, with plans to develop and deploy at least 25,000 autonomous Lucid vehicles.
Combining Lucid's software-defined vehicle platform with Bolt's operating infrastructure and mobility expertise, we're building a solution designed to rapidly scale manufacturing and deployment across the continent.

Manipulation: make observation (one bad experience), imply something that can’t be concluded from it concludes from it (no where near ready 🤔).
So I arrived in Austin and decided to take a robotaxi ride into work..
The Robotaxi arrived… and then couldn’t get out of the hotel parking lot. There was construction in one lane.. but it couldn’t see the other open lane. It drove back and forth 4 times and then stopped and said I had arrived!
Not a great first experience! Clearly this technology is nowhere close to being ready for large scale deployment.

Prices are always determined by market forces; I.e competition. Owning a car doesn’t insulate one from price of gas/electricity or repairs.
Still think it's a good idea to replace all of our personal cars with autonomous ride-sharing services? Sure, you can say "he deserved it" in this case, but the point is that once you give up your vehicle, they can make whatever rules they want. Oh, and raise prices too.

I like Tesla’s “the future has arrived” CyberCab marketing. Would like to see them cross out “the future”, replaced with “your ride”

AI is the only relevant topic in politics. Everything else will be drowned out by the AI tsunami. This will be crystal clear by US’s 2028 presidential election.

It seems Starlink in RoboTaxis , delayed rollout, and Elon confidence in hardware 4 are linked. HW4 already handles real-time decisions well enough for scale. Looping and other issues requiring memory will use the cloud. #tesla

Believing a minimum wage above $0 helps poor people is like believing the sun orbits earth: the opposite of reality

To determine if FSD is driving Tesla sales, ask: the average consumer or the average Tesla buyer? 🤔🤦
FSD is not driving sales. The avg consumer has no idea about FSD or $TSLA ‘s autonomy efforts.

Posted… on X 🤣
Elon Musk spent forty four billion dollars to buy Twitter, then tried to back out of the deal, then was forced by a court to go through with it anyway.
He said he was saving free speech. What he actually did was overpay at the top, load the company with debt, and watch the value fall by an estimated two thirds in under two years. Advertisers left. Engineers left. The product got worse.
He fired most of the staff and called it efficiency. Then he spent months personally posting the exact kind of content that drove the advertisers away in the first place, and acted surprised when the revenue followed them out the door.
This is the operator founders study. The lesson everyone takes is bold conviction. The actual lesson is a man so certain he is the smartest person in every room that he torched tens of billions of dollars to prove a point.
He did not save the town square. He bought it at the peak and ran it into the ground.
