Ooo yea, like their cars are fully self driving? So there will be thousands of people in robot outfits dancing in factories? If you believe anything this man says you are a bigger rube than him.
Fully self destroying economy
fool self drive
It is always next year.
Elon is a complete BS artist.
Exactly. His only real skill, which I hate to admit that he's really, really good at, is manipulating stock price with his absolute bullshit to make himself richer. When are people going to wise up? At least Jobs delivered on most of his bullshit.
Honestly I think it's bound to come crashing down at some point. His wild promises have to get a little wilder every time it becomes apparent that Tesla stock is super inflated. Granted, I thought the horrible quality issues with the Cybertruck would've done it, but his insulating layers of tech bros have somehow carried him through it.
I'm not sure if this is the one that will do him in, but I hope against hope that people will take a couple minutes to at least think about how this would work. Even if people believe that he's somehow bypassed Boston Dynamics in the creation, let alone mass production, of humanoid robots (even though his last showing of it was a guy in a suit), surely they must realize that the human form factor is just about the least efficient configuration for robots to work in a factory setting.
Elon is the grift that keeps on grifting
yup.
I have a feeling it will be China who gets there first with mass-produced robots. They have the manufacturing base for it, nowhere else on the planet does near as much.
I was pretty confident on self driving cars all the way back when it was just google.
But I think the robot/ AI stuff is coming a lot faster than expected. I worked in factories a few year ago and a lot of it is 90% there.
The real key issue is the drop in prices. Robot arms especially I seen dropping. It used to be that one robot would replace the work of 4 or 8 people. (24/7 running) so the machine needed to be a little less than that. But now its so cheap if it replaces 80% of 1 persons work it only need to be really 50% the cost for business to bother to get one. Also that cost is so low it can easily be taken as a trial that might fail but we want to see, if it works we will get 50.

AI is going to be the same, to replace someone it needs to do 100% of the work and be slightly less than a lot of people. To replace some of the work it needs to be priced less than maybe even 1 person, and we are there.
Robots? From the guy that get automatic wipers to work? Every other car maker has automatic windshield wipers that work better than this genius’s version. He can’t even invent things that already exist.
Everything will go great until in the middle of another drug-induced 3 am tweetstorm he announces the robots must be made of adamantium and use bubblegum as sensors to save money.
Tesla automatic wipers work every time there is rain. Or if it's night and there are overhead street lights.
No, no they don’t.
