The Boring Company is all about transportation and Starlink could be energy, transportation or both. The AI that controls energy and transportation will one in the same or linked so this makes sense that the other companies will be mentioned.

Wait for it. $100 dip for 24 hours post announcement followed by $500 gain over 72 hours post announcement along with some optimistic projections from Berlin and Austin.

I hear Robotaxi and Match.com will partner services. (Just imagine)

I think what is more important is get the CT delivered ASAP.
And please stop throwing these fishing bail to the public, put your hands on the real work.

Musk makes long term plans. Its what he does. It’s how Tesla is the company it is, makes the products they make, and has the facilities and infrastructure to do it.

There would literally be no Cybertruck if Musk didn’t plan 5-10 years out.

There are few other companies that plan this far out and effectively execute on those plans. Apple is the only one that I think comes even close.

There isn’t a ton of value in partially solving autonomous driving for a small number of people.

If you “Solve” for small towns, you only help out a few people, and even then they will need to go to the city once a month and their autonomous car is suddenly no longer autonomous in some of the worst roads.

Big cities are essential to any FSD solution.

What I said was that it is solved. It can do that. Now. That was the bar for allowing testing in cities.

But it was never implemented.

Geez, Lee, that is not what he said.

Ugh.

Have cameras installed in front and back and make riders liable for any damage.

Catching someone trashing your car and getting them to pay for the damages are two different things. Unless you can afford to have a good lawyer on retainer to go after people, it's going to be a headache to manage.

Credit cards and deposits.

Exactly! A Robotaxi would be a business. You would have to set it up in similar fashion like any other rideshare or taxi service.

Same way you road trip with a rental vehicle. U-haul solved that how long ago? You rent it for a longer period. It just knows the destination and duration this time.

How about this?

You schedule your road trip with "Tesla Trips" and it sends a car to your house at your desired departure time. It drives you to the farthest charging station it can reach where you are met by another Tesla which continues with you on your way. You may change cars a bit but once at a charging station, the car would auto-charge (Hello, charging snake!) and wait for the next "Tesla Trip" car to come along. When the last car gets you to your destination, it could either become a regular rental car or just drop you off.

It is an auto-uber that switches off cars to keep you moving towards your destination. Long trips are possible with very little time lost to charging.

Pony express style driving would be cool, but isn’t super realistic. Its much more complicated logistics than just getting your in a vehicle and moving. I would suggest it would just stop at a charger and top off and you have to wait a bit or go eat like you do in any Tesla. The app pings you when the car is charged enough.

....

This is correct. Any idiot can see that the CYBERTRUCKS will be needed to deliver the batteries so that the other electric vehicles being produced can turn on and go down the road. At the start, there may not be enough batteries to go around. The CT units reasonably need 500 miles or more of batteries to do this important job. Saving the Earth depends on it.

Other, lower priority vehicles will of course be rationed out 50 or even 100 miles range of batteries. If some has a 15 mile each way commute to work each way, we're being extremely generous in rationing him 50-100 miles range.

Many other things are obvious with just a little thought.
