@JessePeltan The incentive of the builders is not aligned with the interest of the future home owner. Low construction cost and acquisition vs lowest operating cost. That does not help the overall cost and affordability (and directly the quantity) of energy to the home…

@aelluswamy @Tesla THANK YOU! Seeing those v14 updates has been painful!

[Frederik Delacourt @fdelacou]

@farzyness You mean Span XFRA?

[Frederik Delacourt @fdelacou]

That’s not what I recall but my memory might be failing. $20k after incentives means that they would be at price announced at launch, which is way more respectable!
I still think the price is a little high for the value delivered. As a small (work) truck, I can see the benefit, as an SUV, there is more value in used vehicle (Tesla model 3 and y) for the same price.
But I can be wrong and wish them the best for sure!

@DillonLoomis … and it was $17K minimum, the incentives was getting to the $10k. 😉

[Frederik Delacourt @fdelacou]

@DillonLoomis Agree and I was expecting some cost creep but going from $17k to $25k is significant and makes you wonder if it was just a launch tactic to get funding through reservations…

[Frederik Delacourt @fdelacou]

@SimonSaysKnow @Tesla Can’t blame you for wanting a close course. 😅
Agree that FSD would never have gone that speed without a mechanical failure or an override from the driver!

[Frederik Delacourt @fdelacou]

@SawyerMerritt Makes me realize the mistake that Henry Ford did with the model T! He should have added horse sounds and simulated horse droppings to his model T! People would have adopted it faster!
This is so backward in so many ways!

[Frederik Delacourt @fdelacou]

Oh I do have faith in them too but it’s getting long without somewhat of an update that is not cosmetic. My car is 4 years old. Not 10! Paid full price for FSD ($10K), took close 6 months to get FSD, got updates for two years and see no progress for the last year.
I get we focus on autonomy first and then will fix HW3. But it’s one thing to say, hey, it’s the best we got and it’s not quite autonomous vs there is much better version but you bought your car a year to early, paid more for the car and FSD and for the next 2 years, you will run the very old versions until we can get you a light version, ie. not as feature rich!
And to the argument of just upgrade! No. The value of my car was $15K below what I owe on it. So no I won’t upgrade until someone is covering that gap.
I would even go and pay (up to a point) to get an upgrade to AI4 hardware. But right now, it’s radio silence and reading between the line of v14 announcements in hope to have something for us HW3 owners.

@Cadillac_F1 didn’t disappoint for their first outing!
Like my Cadillac, they spent more time broken down than on the road!

@clansman77 @niccruzpatane That quote is not new. So the comment can’t be related to the latest news.

Always asked for flight following u less you stay in the pattern. Cheap insurance in case something happens…
If you don’t want to do flight following, is to put the frequency on the second radio for the departure control or for who ever is supposed to control the airspace you are in and monitor. Makes it easier to jump in if needed. Had one case where the controller was talking about my plane and I was able to join in and clarify my intent.

@gothburz TL;DR: so excel can make spreadsheets now? 🙄

[Frederik Delacourt @fdelacou]

@litcapital I’ve missed the ad itself I’m afraid.

[Frederik Delacourt @fdelacou]

@JessePeltan There has been some questions on the validity of those numbers, estimate are saying that the population is more in the 500millions…

[Frederik Delacourt @fdelacou]

@JJackBrandt @DillonLoomis @tesla it would be nice to have an emergency button on the screen that could fully take over the driving (for FSD supervised) and provide options for nearby ER. It can also start flashing light to attract attention for first responder and make sure the doors stays unlocked.

[Frederik Delacourt @fdelacou]

@saipienorg @dwarkesh_sp @elonmusk Then you get stuck with HW3, sorry I mean v1 until they can figure out autonomous Optimus that would require v3! /s
