They are working on consolidating the software to work basically at a different bit rate to downport it. That should happen later this year (late summer) which will most likely mean hardware will not be needed.
Robotaxi will be much more than just human transport. Think Optimus riding along and performing package delivery. This could easily disrupt companies like UPS, FedEx, Amazon Delivers. Additionally, Optimus could use a Robotaxi to be delivered to your house for certain "rental" situations...
Regulatory hurdles are going to be overcome, information lower in the post about this. From there it's just a matter of producing the vehicles and Tesla already has all the data it would need to submit for approval.
Elon Musk has repeatedly targeted at least 2 million units per year at mature...
Oh, I agree they will sell them for a period of time, but 4-5 years later they will start to stop selling them to people as they reach 15-20 million deployed. From then on it will be only volume purchases of thousands at a time for company's. Once they have 70-80 million it will be no more...
Tesla will make 10s of millions of them and own them as money printing machines. With Optimus, Semi, Robotaxi they will take most of the business from FedEx, Amazon delivers and UPS. Human transport will be the secondary market. All profits going to Tesla.
Even if they keep them out of the US it won't matter, most profits for legacy auto come from Europe and Chinese sales. Once those start to dry up it will be the end unless they make massive changes. Eventually, they will. It will include employee reductions and plant closures. You can't...
They are waiting on Robotaxi production to start in April. The national law for autonomous driving will have passed and been signed into law shortly after preventing local and state laws from interferring. Then you will see an explosion of Robotaxis all over the place. It won't do anything...
Legacy auto will be out of business in the next 10 years. Failure to lower cost of goods sold and to master autonomy will be their demise. Chinese automaker competion will overtake American legacy automakers other than Tesla quickly in markets globally which will significantly impact their...
There are approximately 298–299 million total registered vehicles, including light-, medium-, and heavy-duty plus classics/older vehicles in a America.
Once they hit 100 million Robotaxi's in 2041 time frame that means Tesla owns 1 in 3 vehicles on the road. They will have killed off all...
Don't kid yourself, Tesla will have about 24 million Robotaxis on the road in 8 years. 5 years later close to 40 million. They will stop selling to consumers. Stopping the sale of FSD now is a method to control who still owns it later in 8 - 10 years. Continuing to sell subscriptions allows...
At first maybe, but in 8 years they will no longer sell vehicles to consumers and will end FSD subscriptions. Robotaci, Semi and Optimus will be the way, replacing UPS, FedEx, Amazon delivers, Uber, Lyft and most shopping/delivery services.
I find these discussions funny. Here is the past future state of FSD.
1. Sell cars using sales of FSD to help pay for development.
2. Sell subscriptions
3. Eliminate sales of FSD and transfers to new cars
4. Ramp Robotaxi
5. FSD approved in all states allow users to put their car on the...
People seem to forget they are using the 4680 for the semi and about to ramp that up. This is just a secondary supplier they don't need at the moment. Another case of semi true fake news to blow up a standard business practice called managing suppliers.
Thanks for the advice, mine is mounted on the door and I have an access point a few feet away. This is an issue with the vehicle sending a signal when it transfers from the house wifi to either Starlink or LTE from the vehicle. I also have cameras, so have started to check them when I leave.
I've had a few instances where the door closes and a a minute later opens leaving my garage open for several hours. I know because I check my video feeds after the fact. It's sending another signal after completing it's task once it's off my home wifi. It's a bit disappointing. MyQ should...
You don't need a new truck to upgrade charging. They are just starting to put in the new V4 chargers. The ones you see now are just V3 architecture with V4 charging posts. Once more are out you will notice a change.
