@Snoman_here @DHughesy @DHughesy this right here ☝️.

I had multiple mates that were 2nd and 3rd year apprentices on that job making $2,500 a week AFTER TAX plus travel and living away from home pay.

This was back in 2009.

@OwenRask The age of the proletariat is finally here, comrade. Time to overthrow the bourgeoisie by… checks notes… locking in a minimum 30% capital gains tax for low-income earners.

Waiting for FSD subscription to drop...

[Michael Hudson @mikeHudsonisonX]

How is possible?
@TeslaAUNZ @teslasi

Tesla FSD (Supervised)🇦🇺 NAILS roadworks where cars must stop at portable red light, give way, enter single lane and merge 🤯

[Aussie Firebug @AussieFirebug]

@_mumbling_me @OwenRask It’s a massive step up from basic lane-keeping. Instead of just holding position, FSD manages almost every aspect of driving, from roundabouts and traffic lights to highway conditions.

It covers about 99% of what you’d normally do behind the wheel.

@ryanjaycowan Waiting on that monthly sub to drop...

@chuckcook How hard is it to upgrade the computer and camera?

This seems like one of the main benefits of a camera-only setup: minimal components with the model doing the heavy lifting.
