? Quad Motor Cybertruck and Crab Walk (Independent Front & Rear Wheel Steering) Confirmed!!

[jerhenderson]

You know what all of these have in common? They're all 'if we had the price increases for all the months in the year equal to what we saw in November, inflation would be 6.8%'. You know what we didn't see? That level of price increases for twelve months.

So no, inflation isn't '6.8%'. Annualized BS.

Inflation is targeted at 2%. That's so there's room to grow and hand out loans and bonds without weird math problems. You know what we've mostly not hit? That 2% target. So even a year of 10% inflation (which we didn't have) wouldn't make up for twenty years of missing that 2% target by half a percent.

Do you think Tesla didn't add inflation into their calculations when they offered us prices two years ago?

I'm not saying inflation doesn't exist. Just that it's clearly not the inflation you think it is.

Tesla pre-selling every car it can at a higher price means there's more revenue headroom to sell our trucks to us at the price they promised.

you're 100% right.... the inflation subject is being grossly and inaccurately reported. To use round numbers, a 6% increase of a very low historical 1.5% is not an inflation rate of 7.5%.....

Agree. It is being under-reported. Once it gets rolling, drastic Fed rate increases or some other shock will be needed to bring it back down. There’s just too much money chasing too few goods and services.

the inflation increase rate may be higher than it has been for a while, but the overall % is still low.

Okay, so let's put this all together: Quad motor, four-wheel steering and air suspension...

That would make the Cybertruck able to do many of the same maneuvers as the Boston Dynamics (Hyundai) MobED. Can you imagine that?

I just wonder how quickly the air suspension can change the wheel height.

Lifting one wheel to "step" over a curb, or diagonally opposite wheels to "walk" like the MobED does at the end of the video. I don't know how practical this would be but I can think of a few uses cases, and it would certainly be a LOT of fun!

That is just fantastic. I love the design.

Yeah, while there might be a looming shortage of avocados, I haven't seen tomato prices this low in winter in years.

[Crissa]

Sure. We also haven't seen a recovery like this in decades, either. It's not all bad, unless you have your money in a bank.

Pandemic over bro. Supply shortages beyond March 2022 is fear mongering bs. And most likely shortages have been intentionally maintained by those companies to artificially inflate prices and price gouge capitalize on pandemic for months now.

Even in a city with much stricter covid regulations than most of America just finally being phased out since very early in the pandemic, very little labor issues outside of medical professionals for the better part of the past year. This city has been going about its business for the past year and a half with regulations in place.

Places with less strict regulations were labor constrained for a much briefer period of time.

China has been claiming to have control over the pandemic for a long time. Hard to believe they are labor constrained at this point.

It takes a little while for the backup to drain, but yeah, the supply chain should be clearing up.

Where at that point where you‘ve flushed and the bowl is still rising but we’re pretty sure pressure is going to push that wad of TP and “chips” through and the flow will resume properly soon.

Unless there Is a bigger issue, then it turns into a giant mess.

...and you can hear the water draining down the sewer pipe but it's still not enough... also we really need a ? icon with you guys' penchant for disgusting analogies!

The perfect analogy is one which communicates your ideas well. Out whole global economy being so fragile that the pandemic causes this kind of chaos is pretty vomit inducing

 

[Crissa]

Well, honestly, I think this shows the strength of our economies in the face of the pandemic. There were some bare shelves, sure, but there weren't people starving. Safety nets could be more resilient, but this is how people seem to want it. At least gooing by who they put into office.

Inflation is cumulative, so year plus last year etc, but interest is paid back.

It's a bit like politicians, dumb doing dumber things based on previously dumb things other dumb people did etc.
