@EggdrewY@Tesla And I would REALLY love to be able to give voice commands through the app, without having to unlock my phone. And to give commands through the external speakers.
@GregDeLaere@jimfarley98 Oof, yeah that would suck. I assume you’re in a Lightning? I’m surprised it’s THAT much different from my Model 3. I just stop for 10 mins every couple hours, to recover all the range I spent. And that’s usually because someone needs the bathroom.
@CoffeeOptimist@herbertong It means designing a product or process to be as efficient and effective as it possibly can be, limited only by physics and resources. As opposed to the usual process, which is designed around all kinds of extrinsic concerns (contracts, perception, culture, unions, etc.).
@seldon_raven@herbertong Actually designing that way could very much be motivated by greed, as it is clearly a very efficient and successful business model. Though, in this case, I think Tesla and Elon are clearly doing things for the right reasons.
@brooklyn_brit @RandyWKirk1@garyblack00 If robotaxi is as profitable as Tesla claims then Tesla would not be selling the cars to consumers anymore. I don’t know why so few people consider this when discussing this topic. Owners putting their car on the network would be for existing owners.
@allegro1950@RandyWKirk1@garyblack00 Those are very ignorant takes.
-Boston Dynamics has no intention of making high-volume cost-effective bots.
-Tesla both designs and manufactures batteries.
-No one has an FSD system as capable as Tesla; they are all expensive, limited-use, or just bad.
@garyblack00 This is nothing but a dressed up strawman argument. You claim to be comparing to the extremes but ignore the technologies that the extremes are arguing over (Robotaxi, Optimus, Insurance, Supercomputing, etc.).
No Tesla “uber-bull” is stopping at cars.
@GuyDealership Demand for EVs will be well over 50% but it will be supply-limited, due to legacy auto lagging on production and pricing, so… maybe 30-50%.
EVs have been growing about 50% per year, on average, for many years. Tesla is certainly going to keep growing ravenously.
@ForwardFaith@cybrtrkguy There are buttons… on the screen 😉 But, seriously, you can control all the stuff you need for driving through voice controls and almost all of it through the stalk + scroll-wheels on the steering wheel.
For the rest, I don’t see how physical buttons would be an improvement.
