why no (model Y) refresh this year??
My own little guess. From the research I "see" being done. (I gotta go by the same "news" you all see. I'm not in the IEEE no more). But a new battery technology will emerge soon. The model Y will debut it (probably). That part is the only logic I can "see". This current battery charges to slow, and the (20%) limit on each end of the charge is to much waste. There will be "something" else. What? I'm not into chemical engineering. Just enough to know I'd be stupid to make a hypothesis here.
When is Elon off to Mars?
I can’t wait. That’s not boring. That is exciting for us Earthlings.
Hopefully it will be a 3 man crew with his mates Trump and Putin?
Wouldn’t the world be a better place?
Boring
kinda boring news tbh
"If Elon already owns a tunnel digging operation why not dig some tunnels?" because that's self dealing, which is a form of embezzlement, which is a crime. Executives at a company have a fiduciary duty to the shareholders to not misspend company assets, even if they are the majority shareholder. Musk currently owns 13% of the shares outstanding, but 100% of the money they spent on that tunnel went into his pocket. I find it very hard to believe that they put it out for a competitive bid and TBC won fairly at a price TBC can make money at.
You don't know what a yard is? Where are you from? Is this an AI?
get driven by a car as for me I'll keep doing the driving
I like that in their construction of buildings and other infrastructure they are thinking in 3D. Boring under is something we should have done a long time age but it just wasn’t cost effective or technically feasible. Bigger TBM and better urban planning mean a lot of old infrastructure is going to get moved improved and front end installed. There will be billions spent on these upgrades in our cities and that means thousands of jobs. Win win win!
My question is this – that tunnel looks mighty tight and being a model Y owner myself i can tell you that kerbs are not your friend with the wheels on any tesla!! The number of badly scratched wheels i have seen on teslas is incredible as the rims extend beyond the tyres so will hit before the tyre does. So my question is how much space does the tunnel allow for the wheels as it looks mighty easy for a scrape along as it travels along the tunnel, especially around a corner…!!
Tunnel is not complete. Only the initial phase
Elon has stated that Optimus sales will eventually exceed that of all their present vehicles combined. 2023 vehicle sales were $78.509 billion according to the Tesla 4Q23 financial statement, page 25. If Optimus sells for $25K each, that would be 3,140,360 per year which works out to about 6 a minute, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Optimus production line will probably be fully automated, with Optimi doing tasks that other industrial robots can't handle. Six Optimi a minute is well within the capacity of the Cybertunnel.
Now comes the interesting part… how do you support that at Giga Texas? Factory space already called for. FSD training compute, while no longer constrained, is dedicated to motor vehicles. Where are they going to be produced, charged, inventoried, and shipped from? Hmmm! Sufficient land at the south end of the current factory for production and robot FSD training compute, but not enough for fully charging, inventory, and shipping. We own all this land on the west side. Eureka! Build the production and training compute facility as the new South Extension (SE). Build the Inventory & Shipping infrastructure south of the new EOL building, easy access to Tesla Road and S.R. 130. Use TBC to build a tunnel between the two for the Optimi to use to get from Production to Inventory/Shipping!
Note that this also enables TBC to test out Prufrock 3 close to headquarters at Bastrop and their engineers, with no real time pressure, so they can work out problems with this project. "Killing two birds with one stone" is great, isn't it?
1:11 the cars will drive themselves
Electric cars would be better for underground networks and highways
FFS OpenAI did not steal SJ voice. They recorded a similar one, which is perfectly reasonable. Check your ego.
I want my Johnny Cab!
Tesla phone? Hmmm🤔
This was the most useless thing in Vegas, the boring tunnel. It is like the tube at the bank or pharmacy for your car but slower.
Omg a tunnel but it has cyber in the name?! This guy must be a genius!
He is going to get that 56 billion from tesla somehow.
It is gonna need a new sump pump in the middle sometimes, during big hurricanes, such as we have had a few years back. Like the NY City Subway style.
Is the boring machine powered by a mini nuclear power plant? Is it Mars ready…? 🤨
So the cybertruck has no midgate, no sail piller storage,and it's 100k? That's not a truck anymore 😂. The f150 lighting is way better atm.
Let's celebrate a totally unnecessary tunnel that our dear leader ordered to be built just to enrich him by giving the contract to his private company. Cults are full of these kinds of tests.
Good job people
How would RoboTaxi deal with one intervention every two years. There is no wheel to grab so perhaps they could add a panic button, or have a scream alert. But how do you deal with idiots who would cry wolf. A huge fine, a doors locked trip to the nearest cop shop, Etc. In event of this button being pushed, the vehicle will lock doors, park, and summon police. Hmmm
If found guilty of such an offense, your photo will be added to the Database, and no robotaxi will ever, open its doors for you, for a proscribed number of years.
