I'll keep waiting for some evidence that he is smart. I didn't think intelligence had anything to do with running a money loosing company largely running off of public grants. Also he is overestimating his customer base for cars and releasing a half baked solution that will kill them if they don't follow the instructions. So far I haven't seen anything smart there. Seems more like a boy playing with big toys at the public's expense to me.
The Tesla model S is suffering from many defects and recalls, and, well, a lot of people expected more from Autopilot. While drivers need to 'stay attentive' and they have less quality than other $150K vehicles the car side is far from done.
I'm pretty sure there are other private space companies. Has Tesla done anything practical with their rockets yet?
They are on their way to going bankrupt.
What are you comparing to? Is there a statistic on how many manual accidents would happen on open highway just following the vehicle in front with no passing?
That's a bit different. In the first case, Tesla is doing all the hard work and running the cars seems to be just going 5% extra. If you want to buy a record label that's a heavy investment.
So here is the thing I don't get about Elon Musk.. Why does he keep saying he can do it then? He seems very out of touch. This is why people worship him, because he has vision like a cult leader.
If there were any viable domestic alternatives left I would buy local all the time. But that's the problem.. where is the local alternative to the iPhone? As a consumer, the ability to find the device that is totally sourced and made locally is not something that is within my power.
All I mean that it is on my back in comparison to the wealthy in my own country. I mean, if the whole country wanted to band together and give 30% of their quality of living to India and China I'd be totally fine with that. We all know that the people with the most to give are the ones who are taking rewards from it. If we were headed towards a world of equality here that would be worth sacrificing for, but we all know we are heading in a direction quite opposite.
If they didn't want it to freeze I would hope they bought a Google Nexus, the only arguably vanilla Android phone. Otherwise, yeah, if it's worth the extra cost to you an iPhone probably will be more stable.
It's not that I hate people being brought out of extreme poverty.. it's just that I don't understand why it has to be all on my back instead of the back of whatever government they live under.
25 seconds, according to the CNN article. Obviously the alarm presented wasn't loud enough for a 77 year old. The driver thought he was still in Autopilot.
TPF is actually in use all around the world. They have tried to replace it with modern technology but nothing has been able to keep up dollar for dollar. The core of the OS is all in assembler.

Not to mention bringing his vehicle quality on par with other automakers at the same price level.
He should make Autopilot work properly first and then bring it out of beta and then plan to put it in a truck.
Most people who spend more then $15K on a car will want it for all purposes and won't want to artificially limit themselves into short trips.

I'm not sure how anything Musk is doing will help me. On the other hand, the things he is doing seems to be making him a boatload of money.
What is it with this guy? He announces all kind of grand plans before he can even demonstrate he has the basic things right.

What did YOU invent this week?
My government should be worrying about the citizens of my country. How does this help the citizens of my country?
Well I have no doubt that it's a pretty good deal for someone coming over on an H1B, and apparently India isn't quite as cheap as it used to be.
Doesn't say much for their parents, and their parents' parents.
Right.. people can't buy food or afford shelter but hey at least cellphones are small and cheap!
If a government seems to care about it's citizens that gets it labeled as socialist in any American's eyes.
It's not that I hate people being brought out of extreme poverty.. it's just that I don't understand why it has to be all on my back instead of the back of whatever government they live under.

They're all hoping to get a last sighting of the American Dream.
And if they all do it? Even if 60% of them do it, ratings don't help.
Uber is a rickshaw company put in a first world context.
