I'm as much of a Tesla Fan Boy that you can be but I have to say, the F-150 seems like a darn good vehicle and it's sad they're killing it. I especially like the V2X features.

Threatened… or informed them about what would happen? What’s the difference?

I suppose Swedish Tesla workers have the same beneficial stock buying agreement that other countries have. No more of that if they are unionized.

First of all, the mission of Tesla is to transition the world to sustainable energy. If you believe them, that should be enough.

But, second of all, this also makes business sense. Everyone will have to use the Tesla app, where they can get targeted offers and become a kind of "Tesla Light" customers. People wonder why Tesla doesn't advertise. Well, with these deals, the need for advertising is a lot less than without them. Also, Tesla is essentially becoming a platform for EVs. How long before some OEM license Tesla software?

And, remember that there are over 17000 superchargers in the US alone and the deal with Ford and GM only allows access to 12000 of them in the US and Canada together. To get the full Supercharger experience, you still need a Tesla.

Less than x [time unit] since y released z.

Probably for all the unimportant NPCs running around in a game, AI does a good enough job. But for the main characters and the plot, I suspect a human touch is still needed. Climb up the value chain. If you're cranking out monsters in volume, you're at the bottom.

Intelligence Augmentation?

Yeah. Clearly no one goes there anymore. The place is too crowded.

He wasn't kidding.

You guys are funny. An AI generates a game, comes up with the rules, writes the code and designs the web page for it. Your reactions:

- Bah, it's not very fun.

- It's been done before.

- It took too long to make.

Seriously. Let me repeat that. An AI generates a game. It comes up with the rules for the game. It even writes the code and designs the web page for it!

Come on! This is amazing!

Cool video for sure.

Wasn’t there a post the other day about Tesla’s self driving video was staged since it was the best take on multiple attempts?

Does anyone think this was not “staged” and carefully preprogrammed for a specific demo?

Not that it’s not impressive but still. I can’t have “staged” robots in my warehouse.

Yeah, and highest margin by far in the auto industry. While growing 50% per year.

Yeah, they need to place theses jurassic creatures in a park on an island somewhere.

I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
