Please get your home checked for Radon if you haven’t before! It’s not talked about a lot, but it’s a legit issue.

Well if you decide you wanna do something it’s not at their benefit anymore.

For the vast majority of people, coming in for the paid training/cleaning is the right choice.

I frequently took unpaid time off at my jobs as I used all my paid time off for various vacations.

Tesla might not accommodate such requests though, so a sudden week off might be something someone would jump at for a last minute vacation.

Or come in for training and cleaning. So they can still be paid.

Everyone that owns a S&P500 index or other similar ones owns Tesla shares. All pensions will own some amount. Collectively these pensions probably have 10s of billions or more in Tesla.

This wouldn’t explain the CT line, but they’re going to release 2 new vehicles by June 30th that use the same line as the Model Y/3. They did upgrades for that during the model y changeover. It could be the final changes before they are released, but again, that doesn’t explain the CT.

With all the transformer shortages that’s pretty terrible for national security even. Delicious face!

Ukraine gets the coordinates and multiple systems have automation to work together to hit an area and they’ve had that for awhile.

At least earlier on, Russia was still doing a lot of shoot a shit ton to blanket an area as they werent as high tech on that front.

That was awhile ago though, Russia may have worked towards that by now.

Given the mandate for a reverse camera/screen, it’d be such a waste to not do at least something else with it, so ya, they aren’t going anywhere.

She’s afraid they’re going to be deported, they aren’t being deported.

She has not learned her entire family is going to be deported.

Oh wait, I understand what you’re saying now. That makes sense.

By not extending far into the building and going along the outside wall the end of the unit is actually into the next similar unit or the next corner unit.

The building would have less depth than a building that orients units with the end of the units on the outside wall instead, but could be longer.

That’s not really solving the problem, it’s still windows only at the end of the unit. It’s working with what they have. Bigger unit, more windows, but they’re always at the end.

Any room at the end of the unit can have windows.

But it is competitive now, we’ve reached that point. It’s not “rarefied” cases anymore.

Tesla just installed 37GWh of capacity in the past year and recently bumped their capacity to 80GWh, and they’re just one company.

We’re going to start seeing GWh scale batteries now from the likes of Tesla, CATL, BYD and others.

Edit: This is a 15.3 GWh contract - https://www.intersectpower.com/tesla-provides-intersect-power-with-15-3-gwh-of-megapacks-for-solar-storage-projects/

Sometimes if they’re feeling like they want to follow the laws of the land and spy on themselves, they ask other aligned countries to spy on them in exchange for the US spying on them and then they exchange details.

probably yeah. In reality DOGE should step in and be like, hey it’s not efficient to fire perfectly trained people for stupid fucking reasons like this.

This time line is stupid.

Also, I think we could add the hundreds of millions or billions of dollars this will cost to money DOGE has actually COST the government, by failing to adhere to its goals. Right? Its such a simple fix to an efficiency problem, this failure is theirs as well!

No doubt there that R&D is being spent differently now, and a lot of it can fail and end up being a waste.

A lot of it is going to their new batteries though which they’ve stated are now cheaper than all their suppliers. That doesn’t mean it’s cheaper to produce than others, but they don’t have to pay a profit markup, so it ends up being cheaper. The refinery is just going go make those even cheaper, assuming that is successful as well.

That kind or investment will pay off if they keep it up and stay in that position, and long term, is transferable to the energy business which could prop up bad car sales (but that part would be many years away as they don’t have it scaled to that yet)

Then yes they’re spending many billions on the cybercab, which might be a failure, but the whole new manufacturing process they’ve created for it is transferable to other vehicles if they have to admit failure on the cab itself due to FSD failure. But the whole new process itself could also be a failure. That would be very bad catastrophic for them as the new process is how they plan to reduce costs moving forward. There’s an additional 2 partially designed vehicles using that new process which were put on hold, so as long as the process itself isn’t a failure, they could admit failure on the cab and pivot to those sooner than later.

The cybertruck is a flop, but a lot of the tech is transferable.

Optimus is an easier problem to solve than FSD at least for commercial stuff IMO, and it derisks their heavy R&D into AI stuff as now there’s 2 things counting on it instead of 1. But yes still a huge risk, and yes both AI things could fail which would now be very bad.

There are a lot of gambles right now on certain things absolutely, but I wouldn’t say all the R&D is wasted.

They can only have so many failures / flops though while also going through a dramatic sales slump. If that worsens they’ll rearch a point where they have to reassess their goals and plans or it risk becoming a dire situation, but it’s not dire yet.

If everything keeps going bad, they’ll have to kick Elon out, or he’ll have to change course, or it will actually become dire and they’ll fail.

Except it is happening now. It wasn’t happening before.

Assuming all power was handled by a single entity and not various businesses, there’s no point in building new solar (or any new capacity) when you can just build batteries for the existing nuclear plant that you have to shut down in the evening.

You should only build new power generation once you are able to drain the nuclear plants battery each day (or have the logistical planning to know when that will be the case anyway)

edit: made up numbers example: If a 300mw plant can power 300,000 homes but has to shut down in the overnight, that same plant with batteries can maybe power 400,000 homes.

a new government agency that actually produces homes

PP or the next conservative to become PM in the future: That looks like a cash cow, lets sell it to our private buddies for pennies on the dollar!

You can’t have anything but windows at the end when you have a unit between two corners. With the way building codes require 2 staircases for escapes, it led to buildings being designed like that, since a corner unit only building with 2 staircases was a lot more expensive to build than a rectangle with these units in the middle with only windows at the end.

With the new regulations in BC for example allowing a single staircase, we should start to see less of these narrow units, at least for shorter buildings where it’s allowed.
