heh sorry i left my tin foil hat at home when writing this :P

Musk’s deadlines always have been pure fantasy. But i’m seeing real life hands on reviews of autonomous driving in various places, even Amsterdam with a mayhem of canals and cyclists, it’s not entirely there but damn impressive.

The rollout of the cars themselves will be a non issue, they control the factories to pump out the vehicles as they need it, unlike waymo’s retrofit way of doing things.

I can’t predict the future, had a company car tesla model 3 from 2019 with “full potential for self driving” and after 4 years when the leasing contract ran out, it was still barely on the level of a teenager on their 5th driving lesson. They might very well never reach the point where it’s good enough for the real world and stay on really predictable paths.

look, i don’t like tesla either, but assuming a linear progression here is probably really naive and wrong. they know how to scale up, once their tech is on point, look at the rate falcon 9s deliver starlink sats in LEO.
