That's old, do keep up
But yeah it's funny alright. I liked the bit where the teenage daughter got fed up and just left to go to her boyfriend."Make no mistake. The days of the internal combustion engine are definitely numbered" - Quentin Willson, 1997

You don't need a CCS adapter for a Model S or X to use a fast charge point, but you'll charge slower without it (or a Chademo adapter).
Technically correct for the Irish triple heads, but I think you'll confuse a lot of people with that statement

Customer drove up to my house a while ago in his black Tesla Model S. Should have taken a picture of the two big black panthers together
On other news, I got 2020.12.11.5 last night, which sorted the missing USB stick as expected. Happy days."Make no mistake. The days of the internal combustion engine are definitely numbered" - Quentin Willson, 1997

I upgraded to 2012.12.11.5 recently and today my phone call jumped to Bluetooth as soon as I walked near the car, it didn’t wait for me to sit in the drivers seat like recent versions. After I convinced the phone to talk to me, not the car, I opened one of the FWDs and the call jumped back to Bluetooth again! Maybe it was a once (twice) off, I’ll try to reproduce it later.0 -

Me thinks Mr. Musk has been at the wacky backy again.
Not at all. There are some fairly straightforward calculations behind that, based on you letting Tesla use the car when you don't use it yourself. Tesla then exploits it as a "robotaxi" and gives you a share of the profit
All this of course only works if Tesla get level 5 autonomous driving to work and approved. A big if."Make no mistake. The days of the internal combustion engine are definitely numbered" - Quentin Willson, 1997

Mr Musk said in a series of tweets on Monday. "[At] that point, the value of FSD is probably somewhere in excess of $100,000.Me thinks Mr. Musk has been at the wacky backy again.Not at all.

$100,000+ for FSD would push a Model 3 SR+ to probably over €200,000 here.
At a nominal interest rate of 5% apr, the car would need to "earn" over €60,000 every year for 10 years (50:50 split with Tesla) to even cover its own cost.
I can't see too many prospective Model 3 owners thinking that would make sense.
Then again, they are fanatical.Me thinks Mr. Musk has been at the wacky backy again.
OK, maybe not wacky backy - has he been huffing rocket fuel?

The wacky logic is yours
Why do you think Elon was taking into account the Irish taxation system?
The value (he didn't even say cost!) of FSD of USD100k isn't that far out at all. If you let Tesla use your car for say 20 hours per day (an average car is only used for about 1 hour a day) at just USD4 per hour, that is nearly USD30k per year. Even if the FSD / robotaxi contract would cost you USD100k up front, USD30k per year looks like a decent return on investment to me."Make no mistake.

In a world of robotaxis, why would I even want to own a car?
Most people will no longer own cars. Just investors. Anyway, that's the idea
I can see all this happen alright, but not at the same time scale as Musk. FSD level 5 with no longer a driver necessary in the car (with Tesla fully indemnifying the owner / occupants) might only be maybe 5-10 years away - not 1 year ask Musk has been saying for a year or two now
And people no longer want to own a car, that's a complete cultural shift. It will take a generation in my view
Mock Musk and his vision at your peril. See what he has accomplished. The main thing he has gotten wrong generally was time scale..."Make no mistake. The days of the internal combustion engine are definitely numbered" - Quentin Willson, 1997

Dublin Bikes was one of the frontiers in this regard.
We now have more bikes, GoCar, other firms offering cars now.
In a generation or 2, we will just walk out the house and take the. Rarest car available at that time.0 -
