I've watched a lot of the v12 self-driving videos on YouTube. It's not 100% successful/autonomous yet and probably never will be, but it's getting impressive. A lot of the videos revolve around Tesla drivers pointing out the human mistakes of other drivers around them. Pretty funny and ironic...

I really like the stainless steel. Obviously the fact that it's very fast and electric. Besides that, I suspect it's not all that fun to ride in or drive. Visibility seems pretty bad.

Oh thank god. My OCD was killing me.

A little bottom-feeding, huh? I don't think they have a shot in hell.

Basically at a stop light, the car nudged forward so an SUV could cut over to the next lane.

I think this is pretty amazing. "Self-driving" vehicles are learning how to creep forward in stopped traffic, for example, to allow another car to pass behind them. Another interesting one was gesture recognition. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-showcases-fsd-v12-real-world-results-video/

Well, I see Tesla is set to unveil the Robotaxi in August. I think it's been beat down enough; time to buy back in.

I don't think the rumor makes any sense. What is Tesla going to do, just stop developing their flagship new product? No way. They need some new model to come to market. And not the Roadster, it's too niche. Also, there's no Chinese competition in the US. The rumor doesn't make sense. Edit...

I'm looking to buy back in. Not sure it's the right time yet. Now we need to make a judgement about the strength of China's economy to evaluate Tesla well, and that's not in my wheelhouse. BTW gas prices are rising again.

I don't know if that's true. Look at the new Tundra, the hybrid only gets 20mpg. That's actually a bit worse than some gas F150 variants.

A good dialog for these guys would be, "So frequent oil changes are good. Should I change my oil every 100 miles?" "No, that's too often." "Should I change it every 1000 miles?" "No, that's too often." ... "Should I change it every 3000 miles?" "Yes, that's about right." "Why? What data...

Detroit at the moment. Expanding to a few other US sites in the next few years.

Google "CATL M3P battery"

You should look up the CATL M3P battery. It's 15% cheaper than the previous best. What are you waiting for, a Mr. Fusion?

Most cars with an oil life monitor will have you go way past a year. For my Chevy, driving 5k miles per year, the OLM says to change the oil around two years.
