why I thought the Tesla event was dissapointing & thoughts on Elon

[@jaywalkerpictures]

The video was great! I sensed it was more raw and real, without extra b-roll (in a good way), so it was interesting to see what you were thinking behind the scenes. Super motivating to see you get it done even though you weren't feeling the best.

Sometimes when I get a sinus infection, I drink orange juice and it seems to help temporarily. Feel better soon!

What Tesla showed, other companies have been doing for a decade. Mapped driving on a set and human controlled robots show how far Tesla has fallen on the tech front. Mercedes is getting Level 3 approval, whileTesla's camera only set-up has flopped. Happy to see that huckster finally beginning to get his comeuppance.

[@ronin7645]

@@FitzieJJ - Mercedes "level 3" is a joke and cant drive everywhere like FSD. Saw a comparison video of Mercedes "level 3" vs FSD and the Mercedes was un-driveable for most of that trip. While FSD had maybe 1 intervention. The video is on KZbin, Look it up. Tesla is far ahead of Mercedes and Waymo.

I have never been a fan of Musk, but until recently he was just an socially akward stinking rich king-of-vaporware who takes credit for other peoples hard work and who _was_ relatively harmless. That has changed, for me, since he buddied up with DJT. It's a kind of moral corruption that makes separating the art from the artist rather challenging ✌

[@LoVeforever650]

You don't like free speech????

[@Simbecile]

I agree with you 100%. Platforming Neo-Nazis under the guise of free speech is deeply troubling. Luckily he's pretty bad at deception and most reasonable people see through him.

[@allyjmjm]

@@LoVeforever650 Elon is artificially promoting himself and his buddies on Twitter. More heavy-handed against free expression than the previous Twitter ever was.

thanks for being honest that's so important

I used to love Tesla and want one so bad however it was just a dream cos i could never afford it. but skip to present day, not interested in it at all. owning one is almost an endorsement of Elon and his views. I’ll pass!!!

Exactly. Supporting Elon in any capacity while he is actively trying to take away the fundamental rights of women...big yikes. Hope the video views are worth it!

Buy an air diffuser and put pink sea salt in the water at night when you're sleeping. It'll help your sinuses 👌🏽

I’d really love Tesla if it weren’t for Elon because I feel that he’s a deplorable person and it’s tough for me to back a company ran by someone like him. It’s the reason why I like the Tim Cook Apple more than the Steve Jobs Apple. Your “President” matters. Tesla certainly has a good vision; but ultimately, I still do not feel that electric is the future. Do we really need to drive appliances that we can’t fix ourselves? That still aren’t particularly affordable? I think Tesla and others are steps toward the future, but not the ENTIRE answer.

[@macey7338]

My take on Tesla, as a small town Midwesterner, is not a favorable one. The technology needed to operate and own one is so out of reach for many in my area and even risky. Unless you live in a 10k populated area or more, many internet companies don't service the vast majority of the small towns around us. Sure they do have access to satellite internet, but that has not proven to be as reliable as it was once sold. Most small town mechanics are being forced out of business already due to the Monopoly of technology from different automotive companies and don't have the ability to become licensed techs to do the repairs. Or they require special technology that they simply cannot afford to maintain. All is a very sad reality. There are very limited super charger options, and when thinking purely out of utility of a vehicle, they are absolutely not sustainable, reliable or safe in areas of the world where weather is of any concern. Snow, ice, cold all really take a toll on a vehicle and in considering the safety of transporting my family, especially in the deep winter months, it makes Teslas absolutely not appealing to own and operate. Don't get me wrong, I do see them in my small city of 35k but they become very very elusive until the season they were designed to be in comes back. I can see how appealing to the masses in huge cities has benefits, but nationally, I don't feel like they will be a large enough brand to ever sit next to a Honda or Toyota or any other reliable brand to compare. Again. Small Midwestern view over here. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Kieran113]

The amount you work and especially with you feeling under the weather you deserve to take as much time off from work as you want obviously as long as you don't have any previous commitments like the Tesla event. :-)

[@vlogginggamingandcoding]

When I get sick I can hardly watch a movie better yet go play tennis. I used to want model 3 but not anymore. And considering how Tesla has been lying about their schedule in the past it's gonna take at least 6 years before robotaxi is available. Where is the roadster and is there anyone who has good things to say about the cybertruck. Drink serving robots were clearly just expensive toys. No wonder that people sold the stock.

[@DMV_0202]

I’m wondering if your place has mold or if the filters have been changed recently. I had major issues renting a place that had mold and one place that the previous tenant had a cat. I’m allergic to cats and despite the landlord cleaning several times, I had to move. Just something to think about. Also, I believe you had sinus surgery. I did many years ago and I am due for another. Most people have to have it done every 10 years or so. I need to go back to have turbinate surgery. Just something to think about. Feel better!

[@msbgone]

I bought an X, hopefully I will not be sorry or hear about it from people, but what a car! I think you have my comments blocked, but you should see an ENT....

[@terriniatells]

sorry to hear you feel sick again. It feels like to me you've been feeling sick a lot more since you moved into that place? Or has this been an issue for longer? Ever considered having the place checked for mold? Please feel better soon, and thank you for your thoughts on the event, you were probably a needed breath of fresh air in a sea of wieners.

[@legendarytrails]

Tesla is definitely focused on the city and the needs of the population there. There are a few out here in rural Colorado, but most people I know only use them around town. Most rural areas are still CEs. It would be nice to have ride shares out here like in the cities, but until the masses accept them, it will be a long time for rural America to see the awesome technology Tesla is creating.

[@exploringfindeverything]

Shelby, I really enjoyed seeing you share the background of the video you released already. Something interesting I saw you with a Sony camera. Do you still have your Lumix GH6? I think your make up looked terrific on you and this type of video is truly what I love the most!

[@shelbychurchvlogs]

I still have the GH6 but I don't use it as often anymore! The auto focus just isn't very good on it and I can rely on the Sony more

[@DuvAngel1]

From a fellow sinus sufferer and registered nurse; it would be informative for you if you had full allergy testing and a full panel of your complete immune system function through blood tests. I had ended up with being diagnosed with a primary immune deficiency and now some auto immune condition has taken over in my later years. I had an ENT doc that did nine sinus surgeries on me, and it took that many to clear all the swelling that built up over and over . If you know any causes and what effect to it could even be those chemtrails, or somewhere in your neighborhood some toxin that you don’t know about, or some allergy that you don’t know about.

Shelby, I heard you were voting for Trump, is that true 😮

[@saratemp790]

Its a weird coincidence that Trump and Musk both went to Wharton School in Philadelphia. And both of them transferred in there. Musks first undergrad degree was in Economics in Canada. If he was such a genius, why didn't he start out with engineering or computer science or something. Kind of makes me wonder if it was pay to play over there, back in the day lol.

[@ColePhillips]

@@saratemp790 100%

[@allyjmjm]

Elon only graduated from Penn and did not get any other degree in Canada, just coursework there. Both Elon and Trump graduated with their only bachelor's degrees from the Wharton undergraduate school at Penn, after they each transferred in. Trump couldn't get into Penn on his own and had to call in a family favor when he transferred.

[@saratemp790]

@@allyjmjm well then you have a bone to pick with Wikipedia. Because that's not what it says there. Edit - So musk did not even graduate from the Canadian University? Ha. He probably flunked out. Then he got his dad to pay his way into Wharton and got a pay to play degree, like Trump did. He's no genius. I can tell that when he's been answering media questions lately, and all the conspiracy theories he believed in. It got me thinking, is this guy really as smart as everyone says he is? Then I looked up his educational background. Everyone said he had a PhD from like Stanford, but he only went there for a few days. That was probably so fake. Just so he can say he went there, and then people believe it.
