First Autonomous Delivery Gigafactory Texas to Customer’s Home — no driver, no safety person in the passenger seat, and no remote operator. This is game-changing event. Obviously, this is just one vehicle, driving only a relatively short distance, but it is the start of something radical. No dealership needed, no delivery trucks, no time loading and unloading trucks, etc. This Tesla drove itself from Gigafactory Texas to its new owner's home ~30min away — crossing parking lots, highways & the city to reach its new owner

The EV revolution is a lie. A billion-dollar scam wrapped in green. Beneath every electric car, there’s a grave, of rivers drained, children buried in cobalt, forests burned for lithium. You didn’t buy a vehicle. You bought silence. They said it was green. They said it was clean. They said it would save the planet. You said yes. And somewhere, in the Atacama desert, an aquifer dried up. 500,000 gallons of water for just one ton of lithium. The land cracked. The soil vanished. The silence screamed. But you didn’t hear it. You were too busy charging your car and charging your conscience. They said you’re a hero. You believed them. Meanwhile… A child in Congo carried cobalt on his back. His lungs blackened. His hands blistered. His childhood buried beneath battery-grade ore. 70% of the world’s cobalt. Extracted by Underprivileged children. So rich could drive silently through carbon-neutral neighborhoods. But you didn’t see that child. You saw a shiny dashboard. A tax rebate. A badge of virtue. And you kept driving. You said, “It has zero emissions.” But your electricity came from coal. 72% of India’s power is still coal-fired. So tell me, what exactly are we stopping? You said, “It’s the future.” But your battery flew across continents, mined in Congo, refined in China, assembled in Germany, shipped to India. Each stop guzzled fuel. Each mile burned carbon. Before your EV rolled an inch, it had already scorched the sky. You said, “It’s progress.” But CO2 emissions hit record highs in 2023 - 24. You shifted pollution. You didn’t erase it. And here’s the cruelest twist… The earth didn’t get cleaner. Just… quieter. The screams were outsourced. To lands you’ll never visit. To faces you’ll never see. You bought an idea. But they sold you a script. Battery Companies. Car Manufacturers. Governments. Think tanks. ESG funds. They all played their part. Billions made. Consciences sold. Truth buried. And now? We have zero tailpipes.But toxic landfills. We have subsidies. But no recycling. What we don’t have is a cleaner planet. But we have a dirtier hearts. What we also don’t have, is the courage to admit it. So I ask you: When did we confuse silence for sustainability? When did we let privilege define what "green" means? When did we crown corporations the gods of climate? Maybe the real question isn’t, “Are EVs clean?” Maybe it’s… “Who gave them the monopoly on truth?” This isn’t a war against EVs. It’s a war against blind belief. The planet doesn’t need more machines. It needs more conscious humans. Humans who ask harder questions. Who reject the convenience of guilt-free consumption. Who choose truth over trends. Maybe that starts with us. Maybe that starts with this post. Let’s stop mistaking branding for salvation. And start reclaiming the truth. Even if it’s covered in dust and blood. Even if it breaks our hearts first. Because only then, can healing begin. Remember Compassion towards all and if world human dont adapt fast we will be Extinct in our lifetimes. Read IPCC and feedback cycles after 2 degree average consumption 2030 guidelines.

@pafflick Oh no, it seems that it's getting political again

Waymo’s driverless cars are big, expensive, unintelligent, and geo-fenced. They will be phased out. Waymo will have to come up with smaller, cheaper vehicles, and better software to survive in the future market. Tesla’s Cybercabs are tiny, seat two passengers with loads of luggage space for airport runs, have intelligent AI software, and can drive anywhere, including on highways and dirt roads. They should be introduced next year, and in mass production by 2026. [image: 1731345617750-tesla-cybercab.jpg] FSD is fundamentally different to Waymo’s system. It is trained on billions of miles of real-world driving, and interprets what it sees without the need for precision mapping and lidar. In the future, Robovans will carry 20 passengers (14 seated) to solve the problem of transporting crowds to/from large venues; 40,000 people will need only 2,000 Robovans (or 1,000 if they can return within the hour for repeat trips). It is misinformation that 40,000 robotaxis will be needed. [image: 1729944726459-robovan.jpg] Robotaxis are not exempt from traffic laws, but may be able to take advantage of bus lanes, multiple occupancy lanes, etc.

We are super proud to be the first to bring a full-scale browser to cars, and that's something that Google will never be able to take away from us!

@Pesala said in Volvo will end production of diesel vehicles: Tesla clearly has a market advantage due to its higher margins and premium products. My personal feeling is that Tesla’s market advantage is no longer that high, at least in China. Of course, I have no data to support this view because I am not engaged in research in this area. According to my personal understanding, the Chinese government’s introduction of Tesla is to let it become a “catfish” and promote the development of China’s local electric vehicle market. Speaking of government subsidies, all I know is that the government provides subsidies to customers who purchase electric vehicles. I don’t know whether there are specific subsidies for manufacturers. @Pesala said in Volvo will end production of diesel vehicles: China needs to stop burning coal before we will take their claim of a having a green transformation policy seriously. Their huge investments in Solar energy are still not enough to offset the increased demand for electricity. The Chinese government has set goals for carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. Based on my decades of living experience in China, I believe that this goal will be achieved on schedule or even ahead of schedule. Just like the Chinese government’s poverty alleviation campaign.

@LonM A good idea, thanks for the article. As long as a Google operating system, such as "Android Car" runs in the vehicles, it will be unsafe. I'm sure there will be custom roms soon, maybe even a 'GrapheneOS' for cars. The free developers are dont sleep. "Teslar" will certainly not be a pioneer, they rely more on the closed Google Android. And "Twitter" develops as "X" more and more to the ever bigger data octopus. "Data is the new oil." As a former Amazon vice said.
