There is a specific amount of people you need to have in the train to make it more efficient than the robocab (which seems to be the most efficient car to date). As soon as you have that many people in a train, there is little chance they all wanted to go the exact same route, so they will have a ton of secondary travel that wouldn't have been needed when the train had the ability to go right to final destination. Look up the numbers, and you'll be surprised how competitive a robocab can be when employed at scale and truly scales with the demand and always uses optimal routes.

This new cybercab is just bad in every way. Sure it looks like the love child of a Model 3 and Cybertruck: and it doesn’t work. If Franz designed this, he needs to be put out to pasture along with all the yes men that praised its design. Promising a small car for $25K and then reneging on that promise and then delivering this, which is similar in size and shape to the Model 3, only uglier and with worse specs, is a sign of warping in the design room. They should have kept with the small true hatch back idea and used a fresh body design. Maybe something that gives the nod to the Mercedes Benz A Class with a subtle Cybertruck decor smuggled in. The current cyber cab vehicle design just isn’t it. Scrap it and start fresh and keep Franz away.

When existing Tesla cars still cannot have unsupervised FSD, it is totally pointless to show another car without a steering wheel. Unsupervised FSD has been promised since 2016, and 8 years later, Tesla as a company is still struggling at level 2. My Performance Y had the FSD engaged three evenings ago. While travelling in the direct sunlight during sunset time, the warning appeared; "Take Control Immediately" The camera only based FSD system could not function due to direct sunlight and asked me (the human driver) to take control immediately. So, if a Robotaxi has no steering wheel and it is facing the direct sunlight, how can Tesla ensure that the camera based FSD system can still work flawlessly? It only takes a couple of high profile crashes with fatalities to ban Tesla from Robotaxi service and loss of trust by the public about Tesla's camera based FSD system.

Sell stock. Seriously sell stock. The current evaluation is still based on massive growth (P/E, GAAP EPA). Tesla doesn’t have any advantage left. They don’t grow no more, they don’t invent anything meaningful (I’m not talking about some patents and whitepapers but actual shippable and economical feasible features) for more than 5 years (and those inventions have been made years before they were shipped - so around the time Elon thought restructuring the work force and replacing senior engineers with college graduates - most of them even believing Hyperloop was scientifically feasible although it violates several laws of thermodynamics - to cut costs and corners. Results can be seen). It is a meme stock. If you like degen gambling - keep it. If you want to actually get a moonshot for the next big EV maker - there are better bets like BYD (and honestly speaking: the traditional manufacturers still have a place as they don’t suffer from high fluctuations in orders/ production like start ups do - there are hundreds of CN EV makers for instance, but most of them ship 1 or a handful of products before then becoming irrelevant and eventually going bankrupt again) So don’t wanna scare you - I’m just fortunate enough that I got out in January 2022 (when Jerome Powell told us about the first rate hike and I knew liquidity is going to dry up - especially for memes before even the growth companies will be hit) and would still say that the stock can easily fall another 80-90% before being bought up in a merger. There are enough great analyses of the company and how it developed - you might wanna read them instead of believing in vaporware lies (Enron is a joke in comparison). Definitely don’t have more invested than you actually (!) are comfortable to loose! Hope in a few years (like 3-5 max at current spending) I get a thank you reply ;-)

They say that about every product any Musk company announces. Until it snot fantasy anymore! Do your research, invest in Tesla.

Maybe the Optimus robot is a clue to how they will get self driving to work ... they'll have employees remotely driving the car for you.

NOPE Tesla does not have Remote drivers. in 2024 some cars w/ AI4 hardware are already using FSD unsupervised.

[@SuperiorSurfacingFL]

Hahaha. Funny but you know they’re doing this now right? Yesterday my car drove me, completely unassisted, from my parking space at Costco to my house, about 10mi. Even better - as long as your visual attention is really on the road- there’s no more steering wheel nags. This is on a Model 3 2023 still on hardware 3 but with driver monitoring camera and it is still amazingly good.

@@YourOwnDa Same for all cars on the road today. You have a car for 5 then you have 6 people. You have a car for 7 people, and you have 8. You gotta cut it somewhere. for 3 people, get 2 cabs. For 5 people, get 3. During COVID every car was max 2 people as the front seat is no go. Not a huge difference except each ride is probably half the price or less.

At the event, Scott Walter and I were discussing whether it was AI or a person remote controlling the bot. I listened to 3 bots with 3 different voices, so I was convinced it is a person. Someone asked it point-blank, and it replied, "I am currently assisted by a human". Another spoke to it in German, and it had no idea what she was saying. Net: It was human assisted. To be fair, the initial roll out of Optimus is for industrial use, not serving drinks, so it would be a waste of resources to do millions of $ worth of training for such an event. The take-away is the robot hardware design is capable of great dexterity and precision. These are the skills an industrial robot would need.

[@Official_Mr_Lex]

@@HarshColby agreed, however it does feel a little misleading.

[@LGEightZero]

Compared to the dexterity of the robots Boston Dynamics were showcasing as long ago as half a decade ago, these Tesla robots moved around with as much agility as your grandad just released from hospital after a double hip replacement and dosed on ketamine.

[@Official_Mr_Lex]

@@LGEightZero I can’t tell if that’s a compliment or a dig on the Tesla bot.

[@SuperGGnoRE]

From watching videos I thought the movements looked really natural so even though they were obviously human-mocap-controlled I was impressed how well it could keep up. I could be behind on robotics though.

[@tricktap8502]

It was actually confirmed that they were real people moving it remotely.

[@superlightningohno]

The fact that the most basic old tech (say elevators for example.) STILL breaks even though it suffers from almost zero environmental factors and we are like "driverless cars are a thing" is confusing to me.

[@masterjack8222]

Elevators break mostly because of lack of maintenance

[@juliusjacob1416]

Bad argument. They are often badly maintained and the technology used isn’t up to todays standards.

[@liamphilpott7472]

Im a lift engineer and haddnt really considered your point despite being optimistic on fully self driving vehicles. But i will say alot of the technology in lifts is quite basic.... Door contacts are physical metal shunts that are the cause for most issues. That or board failures which are often not very advanced - compared to a mobile phone etc. they could be much more futuristic but passenger lifts especially are bound to so many rules and restrictions to make them safe but which i guess hampers innovation. Also the price of lifts is a major limiting factor.
