You paid $70k for a car. No one said anything about a high-end luxury car. Tesla's certainly aren't that. They are the equivalent of a $30k Ford in terms of luxury. But at least you get free updates!
This is the first step for finding habitable planets outside of our solar system. The next step will be to build an interplanetary rocket. Musk is already working on that. Soon we will be able to get off this rock stuck in a gravity well forever!
The fastest man made object has only acheived 0.00024% the speed of light. And that was an unmanned probe. Faster than light travel is impossible (we can prove this). Even getting a significant fraction of the speed of light with a manned or unmanned probe isn't even a remote possibility.
Are people insane? Have you forgotten about the speed of light and basic physics? You aren't going to be visiting "distant moons" with crewed missions. That includes Mars.
Why does it matter? The threat of plastic is much worse than the threat of CO2. While you guys worry about CO2, I worry about localized polluted waterways and endless landfills leaching toxic materials.
Yeah. That would be so good! We would just buy something in the morning, and throw it away that night in the landfill. Then the next morning we would do it again! That would be SO INTERESTING!
Possibly. The point is that you have a lot to make up in volume if you are making $10 per unit while someone else is making $300 per unit. I would much rather make more money per unit. The problem with big volume is there is a lot more hassle. More support needed, more returns to handle, bigger manufacturing runs, more warehouse space, etc.

I didn't say drivers were smart. Do you even read? Computers are dumb. Cars will never self drive.
I love Tesla owners crowing about "free updates" on their $80,000 car. Ultimate stupidity.
So true. I don't consider sitting in a metal box with wheels to be "luxury". But Tesla ain't even a luxury car.

Because people are really stupid. Really stupid. People loan the government money tax-free and celebrate when they get a "refund" on their taxes.
It does take hard AI. The dumbest person is infinitely smarter than the best computer.
Smart! But you should have paid today via snailmail! Stick it to the MAN!
I would rather keep my money as long as possible instead of giving it to the Government early.
Methane is a problem? Who knew?
Why wouldn't I be serious? Do you want to be stuck on this rock forever? What if an asteroid hits?
To be fair, the cost overrun is about the cost of three F22 aircraft.
Answer: Never. Reason: Physics.
You don't sound insane at all. I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Thats even smarter. Plus you are using NAT, and we all know that NAT is good security.

That's smart! There is no way to route between two seperate networks.
"up to the cloud" is the key term here. It is meaningless. This must be an "AI" company looking for more funding.
Yeah. That would be so good! We would just buy something in the morning, and throw it away that night in the landfill. Then the next morning we would do it again! That would be SO INTERESTING!
AI is going to be so amazing! It is really going to transform our lives. I'm sure it is right around the corner.

Good point, because you can make up for your losses in volume. Derp.
Homepod = $350. Amazon Echo = $85. Market share isn't important if you are losing money on every sale.
