Problem with that is that it makes a catastrophic price collapse more likely.

My favorite is taking deposits for the roadster since 2017:

> A prototype of the Roadster was shown in a surprise moment…with a tease of availability in the year 2020

> In July 2020, during the 2020 second quarter financial results conference call, Musk stated that Tesla plans to tentatively build the Roadster in California and production would be in the next 12 to 18 months, indicating mid to late 2021.[33]

> In January 2021, Musk tweeted that production would be delayed until 2022. He commented that in 2021, the company would finish engineering the Roadster with the goal of having a "candidate design drivable late summer".[34] In September 2021, Musk said that production would be delayed until 2023.[35] Musk further confirmed the 2023 target at the 2021 shareholder's meeting in October,[36] which was then changed to 2024 at the May 2023 shareholder's meeting.[37] In February 2024, the production date was changed to 2025.[38]

Wasn’t aware of this.

Master con man play. Every. Single. Time. There’s blood in the water, he knows to drop outlandish forward claims just to keep the stock from dipping, his legion takes the bait. Justifies why it’s good the company is bad at x,y,z because the technology is “so good”.

Meanwhile, what does ship is always broken and poor quality.

Anyone else concerned that "humanoid" is not followed by "robot" in that quote?

99% of my driving is FSD. Yea it took a while but with FSD 14 it's finally here. No other consumer self-driving is close. If you saw what this thing could do you would never not use it. It's like driving without a seatbelt now. You would never not want to be driving without it.

My Tesla drove me to the supermarket today. I pushed a button and it took me there and parked in a good spot. It drove me to another state this summer. It works and works very well. Not sure if you’re up to date here because the full self driving is incredible. Nobody is even close to touching Tesla here, they’re 5 years ahead of any other car maker in this respect.
