If Tesla is the only autonomous taxi service they’ll need all the vehicles they can get because demand will exceed supply.

I had a weird thought. Bear with me here. Let’s say robotaxis are approved by the time Tesla gets to building our Cybertrucks. At that point it will be cost effective for Tesla to stop selling cars and put them all on their robofleet. The sooner they do this the better because for s while...

If there’s a party of 6 or someone who has cargo they’ll want to order a Cybertruck on their Robo app. And if they want a luxury experience. So if by expensive you mean expensive for the end customer then maybe, but if it’s a little more people will pay. if you’re thinking that as a Tesla buyer...

I have a midrange with FSD too. If you paid 52-55k then you weren’t using the federal tax credit. That’s why it seems like it has depreciated so much. The depreciation rate assumes the federal tax credit of 7,500 was included. I paid about 40k for mine because I was lucky enough to live in a...

The reason that people like the sound of a V8 is because they associate it with speed and fun driving. There’s nothing inherently pleasant about that noise. If your refrigerator made that noise you’d be on the phone with the appliance repair company. If people are young, they’ll quickly...

FSD does not have to be able to handle all edge cases. It has to be able to handle enough of them that it drives better than a human driver. Admittedly, this will take a lot of work, but you don't have to hold it to a perfect standard. Regulators are not against autonomy. On the contrary, they...

I’ve ordered five. One dual motor for me, although I’ll robo it out until I get the money back - should take a little over two years. And then four single motors for roboing. Once my dual is paid off I’ll give my Model 3 to my son, who will be going to college then, and the dual will be my daily.

I’m going to do a proof of concept by roboing out my own dual motor. If it works then I’ll get a business loan, using my proof of concept as evidence, and pay it back with the proceeds.

Who has ordered extra Cybertrucks for a fleet if FSD is a reality by the delivery date? I’m planning to cancel if it doesn’t seem to be happening, but it seems like easy money.
