Interesting reaction to earnings AH with TSLA shares up strongly, in spite of the negative numbers. TSLA fell short of street estimates, reported its first decrease in revenue ever, and reported negative free cash flow, but TSLA shares are up for one reason hidden in the release.........The announcement that TSLA will be bringing out a new cheaper and more affordable model in 2nd half of 2025.

Meek Mill New Hummer EV Almost Killed Me!!!

Back in March, Meek posted a flick of a wrecked GMC but recently revealed how it happened -- he claims the brake pedal fell off, and the car even started driving on him ... while it was in park!!!

Non Tesla vehicle driving itself. Article tries to make it seem like Teslas behave any better but theyve been mired in numerous problems like this across its portfolio of vehicles. Cybertrucks have experienced alot of the same issues.

With the rise of self-driving car technology, it's possible that computer systems on these vehicles could malfunction due to cosmic rays. What if, during an automated trip, imagery from a camera mounted at the front of the car became corrupted and the on-board computer failed to spot a person walking out in front of the vehicle?

However, the research is yet to be published and he says he's not allowed to reveal what the starting level of accuracy was during the experiments.

Such interventions could make self-driving cars of the future safer but they wouldn't eliminate the possibility of a cosmic ray causing other problems. And this raises an interesting conundrum for insurers.

"In a world of fully autonomous vehicles, how can you prove the accident happened because of cosmic rays?" says Rech. "That is very challenging. I mean, it's impossible, by definition." In ambiguous cases, disputes over whether a human or technology manufacturer – or space weather – was at fault might be difficult to resolve

Impossible to prove but can and does happen. Can even be emulated in a lab setting.

A crack in the magnetic field opened on the 19th when the Tesla on Autopilot suddenly accelerated into the motorcycle killing the rider of the motorcycle. This is why no amount of AI and automation can fix this, EMI causes computer glitches, and thus autonomous tech will never reach true full self driving. More robotaxis on the road the more often these types of things will occur during geomagnetic events as the earths magnetic field weakens quicker; supposedly this will be accelerated by SpaceX satellite debris!

BYD thoughts of Self driving technology

“We think self-driving tech that’s fully separated from humans is very, very far away, and basically impossible,” Li Yunfei, a spokesperson for BYD, said in Mandarin, translated by CNBC.
“When we think about [self-driving tech] from all aspects, from human psychological safety needs, from ethics, from regulation, from technology — including application in this industry — we haven’t figured out [the logic] and we think it is probably a false proposition,” Li told reporters on the sidelines of the Shanghai auto show on Tuesday.
“There may be many industries and businesses that invest a lot of money on this [tech], and after investing for many years it will prove it leads nowhere,” he said.

Tesla driver on Autopilot caused fatal Highway 522 crash, police say

The driver was reportedly on his phone with his Tesla on Autopilot on Friday when he crashed into Jeffrey Nissen, killing him.

MALTBY — A Tesla driver who had set his car on Autopilot was “distracted” by his phone before reportedly hitting and killing a motorcyclist Friday on Highway 522, according to a new police report.

Around 3:45 p.m., a Snohomish man in a 2022 Tesla Model S was driving home behind a motorcyclist at Fales Road in Maltby, according to the report.

The man, 56, had activated Tesla’s Autopilot feature. He was using his phone when he heard a bang as his car lurched forward and crashed into the motorcycle in front of him, troopers wrote.

Troopers wrote the driver’s inattention while his car was on Autopilot, “putting the trust in the machine to drive for him,” gave them probable cause to arrest the man. He was booked into the Snohomish

Tesla’s Autopilot feature has come under regulatory and legal scrutiny. Since 2019, at least 17 people have been killed in crashes involving Teslas in Autopilot mode, The Washington Post reported in June.

Appears as if a some sort of glitched occurred causing the Tesla to accelerated into the motorcycle in front of it. Now the driver is being charged with vehicular manslaughter because they depended on Tesla technology too much!

Hutchison Effect & Teslas Whompy Wheel issue

Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts, according to a Reuters review of thousands of Tesla documents. The chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-musk-steering-suspension/

The exact cause of the Hutchison Effect is unknown in public spheres as it is classified under national security. However the most likely culprit seems to be a combination of electromagnetic sources coming together in a way to change the makeup of metals leading to their rusting, softening, fracturing, complete breaking, even dustification. Keep in mind the degree of metal materials that are within our buildings and infrastructure...even in concrete. Maybe this is why we are seeing an increase in building and bridge collapses?

XAI Grok 1.5 Vision Leverages Tesla FSD to Understand the Real World

April 21, 2024

Grok-1.5V is competitive with existing frontier multimodal models in a number of domains, ranging from multi-disciplinary reasoning to understanding documents, science diagrams, charts, screenshots, and photographs. Grok has capabilities in understanding our physical world. Grok outperforms its peers in our new RealWorldQA benchmark that measures real-world spatial understanding. For all datasets below, they evaluate Grok in a zero-shot setting without chain-of-thought prompting. This leading real world understanding is building upon Tesla data and work with FSD (full self driving).

Recent reports are that Tesla has 100,000 Nvidia H100 chips or more. This would be 400 exaflops. Elon has said that XAI needs to train Grok 3 with 100,000 Nvidia H100 chips. It is clear that XAI will push future versions of Grok for real world AI leadership in understanding video and audio.

thats your opinion, I and others have ours...

its so bad some call it CyberJunk

[Moonlazer]

I am considering loading up more on this 141 premarket drop

[Moonlazer]

Trendlines.

Matching the line from before the first rally that gave Tesla prominent market dominance, Jan 2023's bottom and every retracement I've ran with fib sequence in this last downtrend, we've hit the bottom on the descending wedge. Stop losses set for 135. If it sets a new trend and breaks into uncharted territory, I'll enter in lower. But being short from 299 to 147, gave me some lee-way to mess this up a little.

[chklingon]

Disagree. I like the look of it. It is new, so build quality will be problematic. (As in any new vehicle). Looks like millions of preorders disagree with you. I will wait until the dust settles to see if I want one or not. I am more than happy with my M. Y.

Tesla Model Y Cheaper Than Ever in USA

Good luck and GOD bless,

[JJ8]

Why do you think "This is the bottom".

What's your criteria if any, or just a (gut) feeling.

[boston745]

We do need to move to other types of energy generation like geothermal which produces baseline power and heat for heating/cooling purposes. Fixed bed nuclear is another with water being a byproduct, but that tech is still early stages of R&D. Both of those will do more to help reduce pollutants than anything else. NO NEED FOR TOXIC BATTERIES!

We dont need EVs and we dont need solar & wind for anything other than to fill the gaps on power generation. At least for the power grid.

[Moonlazer]

$200 calls for Jan 2025 is the wisest move here.

[Moonlazer]

Hit my target I called months ago. This is the bottom. Closed my short and going full bullish here.

[chklingon]

So... Tesal recalled all the Cyber Trucks, and it is a 10 minute fix. Many are already done, and any new Trucks are good to go for now. This is still a very new vehicle and start up problems are inevitable. Just so none of them become serious and all is good. The latest flight at Austin shows most of the CT's are already awaiting their place in line for shipping. Quarterly meeting is Tuesday. Maybe we will get some real information not the FUD put out by the MSM. Good luck this week to everyone.

TSLA $146.90 -3.03 (-2.02%) .... MARGIN CALLS HITTING!!!!!!!!

[crudeoil24]

Actually our sun is the largest cause CO2 in the atmosphere around the globe . Over the centuries the amount is cyclical. Quite a few scientists at MIT and Ivy League Universities as well as other industrial research scientists are coming to the same conclusions.

[JJ8]

Nobody knows that. Let the market tell us that. And it will. The price of the shares of a stock are being continuously evaluating by the people who buy them and it will keep changing according to what in general they think when they set what's right.

In my opinion, the challenge for Elon Musk and Tesla, Inc. now is to recover the initial respect respect and the reputation he gained before 2022 that is in decline at this time. Unfortunately it's a challenging place to be when one gradually begins to lose trust and respect that Tesla enjoyed for many years.

Tesla apparently needs to work hard and make many changes using PR after acknowledging a change in their priorities. But, it all will require time.

Elon even though a pioneer it appears to be lacking in priorities especially when it comes to the need for higher standards and excellence.

He is the pioneer and motivator of innovations but I think in need of higher wanting and demonstrating that he wants to uphold quality and higher standard and excellence in taste to raise the company culture in that respect. That quality and details are an important part of any innovation to appeal and attract those who want and need in any product they produce. It's not only to have a large margin of profits along. Higher standards in expensive products must be the goal.

Probably, his background being modest in elegance and appreciation of higher standards in art and beauty may have been lacking. We shouldn't blame of that. But I believe it's bad to deprive his great talent and skills to be lacking the excellence and high quality they deserve. Those give a higher value to the product commanding more respect and trust in quality.

However, it's understandable that in general highly talented folks rarely happen to satisfy and meet all the range and aspects of what a fully and highly developed and cultured societies.

[JJ8]

The lack of critically important proper safety design and this failure is beyond comprehension.

Furthermore, where is the quality control in the process of producing a finished safe car after so many years is un-excusable for Tesla, Inc.

No wonder my Doctor in telling him I have shares in Tesla, Inc. she responded I would never buy those cars!

No where they can be compared with BMW and Benz in any way. Sad but true.

PS: Few years back I noticed some Tesla cars parked with glaring finishing details at joints both out of alignment and spacing. Such cars should never be given to anybody buying before a thorough check for they represent a pioneering company leading the transformation of the ICE to EV of the transportation industry. Saving money over it extremely poor judgement for any reputable auto manufacturer!

[boston745]

They should have recalled every one of their vehicles ever sold for a physical recall not just software recalls because the cars suffer SUA issues and spontaneous fracturing components.

[TheFinalCD]

sorry the cyber junk is a monstrosity

horrible build quality

poor design

TESLA overall great company, and has changed the EV auto world

still overvalued compared to the TOP 3 public auto makers in the World

[imbellish]

more shocking is the number they are recalling, which would consist of all sales so far
