That’s not true, Tesla has figured out manufacturing and does so profitably. Unlike any other American based car manufacturer, Tesla is making a profit per unit and they do not rely on legacy ice vehicle sales to prop their balance sheets up.

Sodium ion batteries are actually currently in production, and are in production vehicles by catl and other companies. There is an American and European company also commercializing the technology.
They are offering roughly 3,000 charge-discharge cycles, which is on par with lfp.
Battery technology for electric vehicles is moving super fast right now.

EV batteries are actually significantly different than the batteries in your laptop or phone, and are designed to have minimal degradation over many many years of use. The coolant loops also help to moderate the temperature between cells, which eliminates problems of hot spots and the heat stress that a phone battery will experience.
For instance, my car has over 300 battery cells in it, which results in say a 100 MI Drive will only use each cell draining by about 1/3. The much lower cyclic rate on these cells results in a much longer lifespan, and the battery conditioning using liquid coolant is how they achieve that.
I’m sure there are more than 10 sedan models available in the united states, did you look at Mercedes and bmw? They should have a few models.
Kia, Hyundai, BMW, Porsche, Volvo, Mercedes, VW, Polestar, to name a few.
Some use the larger cells, but not all. They apparently are a bust and don’t offer increased energy density like they had originally claimed.
The lfp cells come from China, and are now being heavily taxed.
They have the premier charging network in the United States.
Unfortunately, nothing else comes close and probably won’t for a few years… Like 10 years at least. The US is probably a decade behind Europe’s electrification at this point, and about 75 years behind it’s rail electrification.
There is currently a huge labor shortage in the united states, particularly for engineers and skilled craft and trades people. There’s no fucking way they would be able to hire 10,000, let alone 500,000 people. Hell, my company has had two engineering positions open for 2 years and we have had zero applicants. Zero!
Everybody just wants to be retired or be a social media influencer these days, with that amazing side hustle as a door dasher.
I’ve read that all they’re doing is diluting the current shares, so in essence the current shareholders are screwing themselves over by devaluing their own shares.
Pretty dumb
Tessa was in San francisco, not delaware. Delaware was only for incorporation and tax purposes.
Cocaine, ha! Such amateurs.
My city sells that much weight in fentanyl per week!
Despite that, FSD does in fact drive better than a 5 year old child who cannot even reach the pedals.

A couple of my criticisms with the article, which is about “autopilot” and not fsd:
-conflating autopilot and dad numbers, they are not interoperable systems. They are separate code bases with different functionality.
-the definition of “autopilot” seems to have been lifted from the aviation industry. The term is used to describe a system that controls the vector of a vehicle, is the speed and direction. That’s all. This does seem like a correct description for what the autopilot system does. While “FSD” does seem like it does not live up to expectations, not being a true level 5 driving system.
Merriam Webster defines autopilot thusly:
“A device for automatically steering ships, aircraft, and spacecraft also : the automatic control provided by such a device”
In war, everyone loses.
The geneva conventions and other treaties that established what we call the international conventions on warfare were not written by he UN, amd the UN has no jurisdiction on them. The geneva convention was held in 1864, about 80 years before the UN was formed.
The ICRC is the jurisdiction in “charge” of defining warcrimes.
In any case, warcrimes are contextual. Bombing a power plant in one instance may be a legitimate target in war, while in another case, where Russias goal was to cause civilians to freeze and suffer, may very well be. However, I am not a lawyer of the international criminal courts.

Power plants are valid military targets.
