It's $838 per month for car payment AND subscription at 3% 60-month (plus insurance).
Not that unreasonable for a truly self driving car that can drop you off and pick you up anywhere in the city,
And you get to wrap it however you want and leave your own things in it.

People who do most of their driving in those metro area and have another car available.
That's probably a decent percentage of the population.
Also the areas you can use it in are going to grow rapidly.

We need to invest in American progress and leadership. Other countries and leading companies in them won’t pause.

If you sponsor this podcast, calling for the execution of Elon Musk, I will never use your product… and will buy from both of your top two competitors
This is unacceptable and dangerous.
This a dog whistle to murder someone because you disagree with them — and this is the same guy who joked about the assassination against President Trump.
Fuck this piece of shit.

Tesla may have just passed Waymo in Austin.
Tesla: 438K driverless miles in the week to Oct 18
Waymo: 406K/week (Q2 2026, its latest data)
Different periods, so Waymo’s next release will give a better picture.

Tesla confirmed they’re building out their own map data.
Imagine SpaceX Starlink satellite imaging on top of Tesla’s massive real-time vehicle fleet.
The combination of orbital assets + millions of cars continuously mapping the world could be a serious long-term advantage.

I decided to dig deeper and my preliminary investigation found strong technical links between people first and a separate confirmed Uber-funded campaign
There's so much shady stuff happening here. I'll share more soon
An anti-robotaxi group called the People First Transportation Alliance has become active in DC in recent months.
But exactly who is behind the group remains unclear.

Uber is so fucking shady.
The so called “People’s First Transportation Alliance” is actually funded by Uber. A more accurate name would have been the Uber First Transportation Alliance.
They are hiding the fact that they’re funding this anti-autonomy group, and listed a bunch of “founding members” of the group that had no clue their names were being used!
They just organized a protest against a bill that would bring autonomous driving to DC in 2028, demanding human drivers be required well past then. DC is such a critical city for autonomy, because we need congress to be able to try the technology for themselves. The fact that they can’t is holding federal autonomy legislation back.
Fuck Uber and everyone involved in this group. They want people to die so they can make money continuing to exploit their drivers.
He hasn't reviewed FSD 14. Not a proper FSD review since 12.5. That deliberate choice (hate). That's well beyond "not being a super fan" and in "I'm ignoring some of the most amazing tech in industries I'm known to review because I hate Tesla or their CEO."

I’ve spent a few days thinking about the Tesla Roadster reveal and landed somewhere I haven’t seen much discussion. I’m neither a Tesla fanboy nor a Tesla hater. And I couldn’t care less whether what we saw technically qualifies as a flying car. Three takeaways: (1) The risk of that live demonstration going horribly wrong was real. Almost no CEO would willingly expose their company to that kind of public humiliation for a product with so little financial upside. Elon did. (2) That willingness to attempt the seemingly impossible is what makes Tesla special. It’s also arguably Elon’s greatest contribution to America. He’s helped bring back something we’ve lost. The American spirit of chasing big scary ideas that most people think are impossible. That mindset is spreading across a new generation of founders and its long term impact on America’s future could dwarf anything Tesla ever sells. I think this is deeply underappreciated. (3) Can we just acknowledge how insanely cool that moment was? We’ve reached a strange place culturally where even extraordinary feats of human ingenuity immediately become arguments about why they don’t count. Not everything needs to be a debate. Sometimes we should just be able to stand back together and marvel at what humans are capable of. I’ve been both bullish and critical of Tesla’s ambitions over the years. But watching Elon and his team push the boundaries of what’s possible reminds me why I’m glad we have him. Whether the Roadster ever makes Tesla a dollar or impacts $TSLA stock price is almost beside the point. We need more people willing to risk failure in pursuit of things the rest of us think are impossible. Because when they succeed we all win.
I think the shock value would have been wasted if they didn't do as the first aerial thruster demo. They could have done the 0 to 60 first.

Can someone please explain it to me like I’m 5 why people are more outraged that Elon built a car that actually flies than they are that Gavin Newsom’s California has spent $15.6 billion over nearly 18 years on a bullet train that still doesn’t move.
