Lucid definitely missed their mark. I know all the websites/blogs are like Lucid is the pinnacle of luxury. Its not.

The UI is buggy, slow and just meh, the design is imo lame and uninspired. They went for an understated luxury vibe but somehow it has less presence than a Volvo.

I feel bad for the shareholders but the market isnt interested (look how many they sold this year) and they can either be a automotive supplier or get sold for parts.

Their spend rate is unsustainable, especially with no exciting product to offer.

The gravity is way to little to late, it competes in a now insanely competitive market.

When you have options from Cadillac, Audi, Mercedes and Rivian, why take a chance on an uninspired minivan from Lucid

Hey HN, just wanted to share a tool that I built to auto adopt your unifi devices.

This was built for some friends of mine who are low voltage installers.

I was in their office one day and saw them SSH one by one, into every single wifi hotspot to send a adoption request to their unifi controller.

I thought I can probably build a better system using Claude code in a few hours. It ended up taking a bit longer but I tried out a few frameworks and settled on rust with the iced frontend.

Feel free to look at the code and see whats up, heads up this was vibe coded with Claude code and my first time touching rust.

Tell me what you think :)

Nope haven't worked on robotics (at all) so you may be right.

Can you provide more insight? We see things like the Boston dynamics robots that look cool but never seem to materialize in an actual product. My assumption is that while they can get those robots to do cool things, its hard to generalize and make it repeatable in an unknown environment.

Here is where I think Elon is trying to add NN so that the data from robots can be used to train and make it repeatable. This is why he considers Teslas experience with self driving to be a start.

Would love to know your thoughts!

Im excited to see what happens with the humanoid.

Software has been holding back robotics for a while.

Tesla pouring money training humanoids with state of the art neural nets could lead to something disruptive.

What happened to the free market lol.

Ads on x are either valuable or not, suing aint gonna help.

Pork kills everything, today is DEI tomorrow something else. This is a result of a congress that will only bake a cake if everyone can get a slice.

I hear you, but gas stations make money, right? Can't Tesla adopt the same model and lease parcels of Supercharger land to convenience stores?

If you are correct that they are a utility and should be priced low, then Superchargers would be detrimental to Tesla's stock price and should be spun out as a separate utility company with lower margins. This would create a better EV experience, thus furthering Tesla's goal.

Definitely agree with this, last time I was at the EA charger I thought it was comical seeing Rivans and Audis waiting for an IKEA truck (ford van) that was creeping up from 95%.

While these measures will help, the reality is that EA did not invest in enough chargers per location.

This issue will go away with time, right now there are a few reasons for this issue.

1. EA does not have enough charger stalls, there is a lot of demand but utilites make it hard to build so they take a lot of time.

2. Some people are new to EVs and have charge anxiety / dont really understand how it works, they will get it in time.

3. Some people have free charging so they charge until 100% because its free, companies introduced these programs to sell cars and as these programs expire (usually 2 or 3 years max after purchase of the vehicle) it will get better.

We are still in the beginning process of adopting this tech and there will be some growing pains but we will get there.

Note: The one thing I can't understand is why Elon is handicapping the supercharger expansion. Tesla has by far the best charging experience and their chargers are packed. Now is the time where they can swoop in and take over the market. They can even spin out supercharging as an independent company and take it public.

It still sucks!

When I try playing music it always stops after 5 min, and I need to re start it.

Also, the new app UX is stupid, and is laggy on my iPhone 12.

Sonos better be careful, google might sue you for copying bugs.

These companies are tripping.

Webflow is making bank and they need those employees.

The only reason they are firing people is so that they can rehire at cheaper cost.
