Plenty of things have been tried.

Like communism has been tried multiple times. Every time was an unmitigated fucking disaster.

Can't wait for my free pants. 2 years on the waiting list or pay some corrupt official 10 times the value to get some next Tuesday.

Hilter should have gone all in on Donitz.

Could have let to a real weird outcome. Would have destroyed the UK, slowed down the Manhattan project. Given Germany more resources against the Russians.

Next thing you know there V2 nuclear rockets being launched from sub's hitting all the costal cities of the US.

Thats weird.

Turns out I have no idea how to link to communities. Maybe if I link to a post in that community you can see what I mean.

I'm on lemm.ee so I guess thats why that link comes up. But when I click on the community the previous link I sent is written at the top.

I found your post interesting found another community from you.

Just wondered if you ever post on https://[email protected]/ with batteries being so integral to cars and energy seems like a good overlap and would like to see more in depth comments on energy.

Fuck the Tankies fuck communism entirely, I just got back from Cambodia, got an economics degree and like capitalism, China's a bunch of dickheads.

BYD is going to change the world.

It's the classic incumbents move slow into new tech. Added with government investment, low labour costs, access to raw materials/adjacent industries, hungry growth focused companies, semi crazy workforce.

I haven't drove a BYD or even a electric car for that matter but reading the stats things are going to move fast and the rate they move is going to increase. I can see all the west companies largely losing their overseas market, other than luxury, inside cities. The world's moved on and people don't realise.

My view is it's pure hypeware until proven otherwise.

This isn't Tesla hate from my side either. The general consensus from enthusiasts since the beginning is Tesla is way off the mark. But the latest self driving upgrades using more LLM tech has apparently been a big step up. By that I mean going from poor assisted self driving to good assisted self driving. Getting it from there to no driver behind the wheel is another matter all together. Maybe they had a single jump or maybe it's a new path of consistent progress, I have no idea.

I'm not expecting much from Tesla. I would absolutely love to be wrong.

Expecting more from baidu, pony.ai and zoox more than Tesla. Hell even BYD with the Chinese backing it has might beat Tesla.

I've been to Los Angeles and Austin. Is San Francisco seen as a bright sunny desert climate?

Was hoping at this point in time Waymo would be expanding more aggressively.

But no one else seems immediately on the horizon and Waymo is consistently expanding well so they are doing very well indeed.

I'm excited for the last mile problem to be solved and be able to cycle on roads without drivers that actually wish I was dead or playing about on their phone. Also I hate driving.

Irrational markets are irrational.

There is a reason people lose all there money on the stock exchange and there is reasons idiots make loads of money.

Any expert on this stuff are probably avoiding and have been avoiding Tesla for about 10 years. But cryto Bros have been investing for 10 years and been making loads of money.

Remember people. You don't own the money until you cash out. $100,000 in Tesla isn't the same as $100,000 in the bank.

Honestly people are probably just looking at you wondering if you are trans.

Economically disastrous.

Fossil fuel shills push nuclear because it takes so long and costs so much it will keep us on fossil fuels longer.
