Yes, but it's a double row. I think the picture evokes alien dreadnought factory. I think the double row means 2 planned. And I think those are cast bodies.

I predict 2 factories will be announced. One in Mexico to build gen 3 / 25k / robotaxi type vehicle and one in India / Thailand to build electric tuk tuk. Franz said he was working on a design that was not in the normal space.... I took that to mean either evtol, but I realized after Elon said...

Ahhh...no he is an Irish.

Omg. Do not do this. My eyes were hurting because I have a cold and I did this because I had no eye drops. IT DOES NOT WORK. It burned like hell and an ambulance had to come and wash my eyes out. Now my eyes are bandaged shut and I have to drive to pa for Christmas, lucky Tesla fsd is self...

What does a janitor say when he jumps out of a closet? Supplies!

Army has had autonomous flight in helicopter for years. They tell it where to go and it takes off and goes there. https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2022/11/2/autonomous-army-helicopter-proves-ready-for-action

I was just telling a coworker the other day this same theory. I even included that I think this comes from Biden administration. Like it makes no sense that Biden administration so studiously ignored Tesla. I can't imagine Buttigieg et.al. being anything other than a Tesla fan yet they acted...

If you don't know anything about ev then you are ignorant about ev. I know it sounds mean but I think he used the right word.

A bit of apples and oranges on your cost vs price. Privately owned auto costs vs price of commercial flight. There is nothing in an evtol manufactured at the scale of autos that would make them more expensive to privately own. Would it still cost you 2.00 / mile or would it cost you the .86...

I do not... But tunnels are expensive to build and all roads are expensive to maintain. Yes they are totally necessary but those costs have to be absorbed in the cost of the system. When you say they carry more than air can are you including the possibility of evtol?

Really though? Lincoln tunnel is 1.5 miles long. It has a $16.00 toll for passenger cars. Its an old tunnel so either maintenance costs a tremendous amount or they shift money elsewhere. Evtol expected to cost ~0.89 /mile and 22 of that is pilot.

The cheapest miles are air miles so I don't think building tunnels will lead to cheaper miles. Why do you think NYC is unique? Density? Airspace is huge, roads take diffused people and funnel them along narrow arteries, air space takes diffused people and delivers them to diffused locations via...

They claim the craft is as quiet as a conversation.... Can u go hang out at Costco and film it and see if it is that quiet? Just 1/2 kidding ....

Yes tilt rotor is frightening ala osprey. At least Joby machine has more rotor... They have FAA airworthiness. So it's real. I'm long $JOBY

I remember Elon talking about wanting to do a supersonic evtol. https://verticalmag.com/features/elon-musk-supersonic-electric-vtol-jet/

Tesla mission is transition the world to sustainable. The factory is the product. Elon spent 45 billion on twitter. Do u think he cares if his robotaxi means no one will buy cars? Fsd isn't just for cars, it's also for optimus. I don't think argument that a roboaircraft would cannibalize other...

Is that you AJ? ?

There are several clues that point toward robotaxi being an aircraft. 1. Elon said... several years ago that Tesla would love to do an aircraft. But that battery energy density didn't meet requirements. His metric at the time was 400 wh/kg. Tesla 4860 analyzed by the limiting factor was in the...

You point out an important fact. Humans use 2 spaced cameras to parallax, the car uses motion. Human parallax is detrimentted by motion of the human which is exactly what occurs in a car and add in motion of the target and humans become very bad at judging timing. I suspect that the reason model...
