Erh... your username is surely fitting. It's clear that you have no idea what you are talking about and neither have any actual understanding in the field.
FSD is the best self-driving system out there. I have had it all the way back from 2019 and I was able to see the progress first hand from early builds until now. It went from a party gimmick that I'd activate once a while to show F&F to something I used daily to take my *kids* to school with. It is that good now that I trust it with my own life and my kids'.
Apple quit the development of its car because of 2 reasons, 1. it couldn't find a partner to go with, and 2. their own people leading self-driving tech realized that they would never have the amount of data that they need to compete with Tesla's development. The company with the second-most data is Waymo, and even there they knew it was a lost cause. That's why pretty much all of the original Waymo people have left the company. They don't have a viable plan to get the amount of data needed to train their NN models.
CT is the best day-to-day driving truck ever-made. I have yet to encounter a single owner who have a different opinion. And many of them come from a background of driving pickups all their life.
Roadster 2 is coming. It's just not a priority for Tesla.
If Optimus is a sham, why did so many startups followed Tesla's lead into the market and so many VCs are willing to throw billions into this sector? I guess you might be angry at it if it's got the potential to replace you at work.
Grok 3 is now THE benchmark to beat in the AI sector. Sure, it might not be there forever, but from a company that came together from July 23 to the leading company in just shy of 2yrs is no small feat.
Semi, it delivers (no pun intended) every metric that it said it would. It's limited now in CA because only 2 companies (really just Pepsico in CA for now) took deliveries and there is very limited production and infrastructure in place for any EV truck company to claim success as of now. But it's coming. Once the production facility is complete and V4 cabinets are in place (supports 1.2MW charging capability), there would be more on road.
Luckily I have worked in auto planning, self driving, and currently work in AI.

S- opportunity, A+ chance to win
Yes, Grok3 and Sonnet 3.7 are the only reasoning models that can make multiple tool calls per turn.
Unfortunately, investing in models is no longer a moat.
XAi's moat is not in the model but in their an insane amount of unique training data from Twitter.
Compute time inference & hardware is the new frontier to reduce cost in async scenarios and enable real time scenarios.

Semi
A+ opportunity, C+ chance for Tesla to win
Yes commercial EV is the right application and opportunity.
Unfortunately, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo are already in series production of EV semis in Europe.
Similar spec (megawatt charging), similar camera/mirror innovation, etc.
MB also owns Mitsu Fuso, which are shipping eCanter.
Volvo are expanding production to US and Mexico
Tesla are struggling with battery chemistry, especially the 4680 cells.
MB and VW will sweep this market with solid-state batteries and superior L3 driving.

Self driving isn't really about the volume of training data but really about the veracity of it & achieving sensor fusion.
Tesla are already adopting GM approach of Lidar based validation.
Elon already admitted FSD won't hit level 4/5 so let's focus on L2++++.
I think Tesla have a real shot here.
Leader: Huawei Qiankun (best sensor fusion, including LiDAR).
Threats: MB has delivered L3 but in super limited situations, my former coworkers at Ford/BlackBerry about to shake up the market.
Robotaxi wise, Waymo are leading with L4/5 autonomy and superior sensor fusion.
Though they're already up scale-up mode with expansion to ATX/SFO/ATL, Tesla could potentially make a come back if Elon allows them to adopt LIDAR.

AI has shown that mimicking human behavior isn’t always optimal.
Example: We initially modeled neural nets after the brain, but brute force (data/layers/RL) won out.
Why assume walking and hands are the best form factors for robotics?
Tesla’s mistake? Trying to “boil the ocean” the way they did with FSD instead of delivering a practical product. && adopting a humanoid approach.

Bonus you didn't mention: SpaceX

Pretty socialist lol.
And you know the funny thing? That feeling hasn't changed one bit. I had sold/bought AAPL/AMZN/MSFT/NFLX/NVDA many times and the one stock that I continue to accumulate is TSLA.
It will be the most valuable company on Earth by far within my lifetime. I have no doubt about it.
It might go without saying but I will say it anyways but I, and most of us here, are really excited to see you lose your money on Tesla in the coming months.
BTW: How hard did you cum when Trump did the used car ad on the White House lawn with Elon? Was it buckets?
Damn CRA and the changing capital gains policy ... you can't file your taxes till prob Mar 31st or so until CRA updates their end and certify tax software.
RS.net, where our google ads make absolutely no sense!

I'm biased cause I'm a car enthusiast and stuck in the 2000's hence why I'm on RS so the only automation in cars I like is adaptive cruise.
Don't you think this is misleading at best, fraud at worst? Especially for the folks who spent $11k for a promise of FSD? Also elon said that your model x/CT (HW 4.0) and my model Y (HW 3.0) cant do FSD with its current equipment. I tried the FSD during the free trial and it still fucks up and I have to take control. Trust? Unless your sitting in the back or crossed legged away from the brake pedal reading a book you're still supervising it (as per its legal disclaimer) ready to take over.
Also I dont get why tesla bros think owning tesla stock gives them access to spaceX.
Well, I'm a shareholder. So, I kinda am on the payroll.
Seriously though, I'm usually the most "ahead of the time" people in my social circle.
I was the first one with an iPhone, I was the first one with a Prime membership and I was the first one with a Facebook account.
One thing I regretted over the years was that I never actually invested in those companies until "the narrative changed". When Apple was ridiculed by RIM/MS, I thought... well, if they say so. Even though I loved my iPhone at first sight and thought that'd be the future. Same thing goes with Prime. I thought amazon was awesome. But it was losing money left and right.
Should I have invested in those companies when I got their product/services I loved, I'd probably 10x my networth right now.
So, I think I'm a very average dude, just a bit ahead. Whatever I like, it's whatever the market would eventually like. I'm just usually ahead of the curve.
When I got my Tesla, I knew the day I drove it back, that this would be the future. That's how I made 7 figures with TSLA.
And you know the funny thing? That feeling hasn't changed one bit. I had sold/bought AAPL/AMZN/MSFT/NFLX/NVDA many times and the one stock that I continue to accumulate is TSLA.

Does he mean the first million? So if house is $1.5M only GST on 500K?
Cuz if all homes up to $1M, he is basically jump starting the Condo market at least in big cities like Toronto, Vancouver. It's still a stimulus. GST on $1M = $50K, nothing to sneeze at.
and what is the average price for a new detached home again?
How many first time home buyers go straight up into purchasing a detached home again?

Living in Toronto, I forget all the time y'all exist.
a month away and I can see nothings changed around here.. if anything it’s seemed to have gotten dumber some how.
Was away in 2 countries that weren’t the states and had a crazzzyyy experience… not being surrounded by strung out homeless people and encampments! Wild eh? What a world!
It’s fucking HILARIOUS to see some of you that have questioned me, when I’ve travelled extensively and lived in foreign cities and said damn, you know what? There’s no homeless people here, now fucking TERRIFIED you’re going to end up in a fucking ICE camp if you cross the border, ignorance at its finest, truly.
Jason I’ve gotta ask why is it that literally, the only people I’ve ever run it to EVER that share the same thought train of you are all exactly the same? Literally like pressed out of the exact same mold. People who’s life didn’t turn out the way they expected, who fell short of their own expectations, who, ultimately, were their own worst enemy and have no one else to blame than themselves due to their actions, lack of ability, ignorance, or choose other, who ALL have this same endless thought train. Conspiracy theories, globalists, govt. intervention, vaccines, it’s all identical. Literally like are you guys reading off a script?
These are the same types who tell me those lines in the skies are chem trails yet, they don’t understand how a jet engine works.
Why don’t the “successful” well educated people in my life share these same views? Why aren’t people who are out enjoying life and not stuck in this cycle of shit and struggle telling me these same things? You don’t find that a little odd? But I’m sure it’s because the “wool” is pulled over their eyes or they are stuck in the cycle of “mainstream media” or liberal propaganda or whatever else you want to chalk it up to.
I’ll tell you what I tell my buddy who spews the same garbage, so for arguments sake, let’s say -everything- you said is true. So to what end?
Would your circumstances be different? If a trillionaire puppet master wasn’t orchestrating Pfizer profits behind the scenes, if gender re-assignment surgery wasn’t being performed on 8 year olds who are confused by genitals, if the Illuminati wasn’t holding you down, would you be in a different situation? By your endless rants here that are barely worth a skim I’d say with much certainty, no.
I will say, I agree with your takes to some degree on Israel and the “elbows up” idiocracy we see today. Almost everything I said about powerful Jews is coming to fruition with the genocide of the Palestinians. But hey, “they’re our allies” right??
