Going Up
Are the Wall Street analysts finally beginning to appreciate the true value of Tesla?
The stock price has more than doubled since last November, when I first invested in it at $408. It reached an all-time high on Friday 22nd October.
NHTSA are obstructing progress by asking the wrong questions about Full Self-driving. Their recent letter to Tesla makes no sense at all. Are their strings being pulled by others, or do they simply not understand how Autopilot and FSD are supposed to be used?
Missy Cummings is being named as new senior adviser for safety at NHTSA. She has $1 million invested in Lidar stock, and hates Elon Musk because he dismisses Lidar as useless for self-driving cars. FSD relies fully on cameras and artificial intelligence.

Creeping Towards Full Autonomy
FSD Beta 10.2 in Action at a busy roundabout.
It is still cautious, as it should be, but it is slowly getting more confident and assertive. Earlier, the driver would have had to press the accelerator to proceed. Now, the software can do it unaided.
Drivers need to remain aware at all times, and be ready to take over control, as it is not fully autonomous yet.
About 1,000 more users have now joined the Beta testers, so twice as much data will soon be flowing back to Tesla. In other words, improvements that would have taken two weeks will soon take only one week. The improvements could accelerate rapidly if NHTSA don't interfere. One serious crash could pause development, but serious crashes are avoided every day with the help of Autopilot.

There was nothing wrong with my post and you know it. We should not be posting anything about Tesla except for how he keeps gaming the system.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. However, it is best to base them on carefully acquired knowledge, and not on mere hearsay from TeslaQ or some random Reddit thread.
Posting flame-bait making offensive comments, contravenes the code of conduct, and may result in sanctions.
This forum is a friendly place, where we expect discussions to be civil, even when people disagree.
Elon Musk may be very ambitious, but that does not make him greedy. He has worked very hard for decades to achieve what he has.

You have no idea where I got my info. I do not get my info from FoxNews and Qanon like you.

@locutusofborg No, I don't know where you get your information, but it is clearly not a reliable source. I cited TeslaQ and Reddit as typically unreliable sources.
I get my information from the experts on Tesla. Mainstream media in general are in the business of getting eye-balls on their content, or pleasing their advertisers, so I take whatever they say with a generous pinch of salt.
I would not know what goes on at Qanon, never having visited it.
You can see what my sources are from the links earlier in this thread. As a rule, it is good to quote your sources, especially when making damaging allegations.

New Features
Profiles, Autopark, Construction Zones, & More
- Profile allow users to select how assertive FSD is: from Chill, Average or Assertive
- Autopark seems to work perfectly
- Navigating a construction zone still dubious

Beta 10.3 Pulled
@elonmusk 7:44 pm · 24 Oct 2021
Seeing some issues with 10.3, so rolling back to 10.2 temporarily.
Please note, this is to be expected with beta software. It is impossible to test all hardware configs in all conditions with internal QA, hence public beta.
10.3.1 rolling out now

The facts are that Tesla is greedy. There is no getting around the facts.

Tesla to Mars :The facts are that Tesla is greedy.
Without any facts to back up your statement, it is just an empty assertion.
Tesla inc., is a business, not a charity, nor a not-for-profit organisation. Since demand for cars exceeds supply, they either have to increase prices or increase wait times. Second-hand Teslas are already selling for more than new ones.

Tesla Don't Need to Advertise
Hertz Car Rental are doing it for them.
Hertz said the “initial” order of a total of 100,000 Teslas will be made by the end of 2022.

I'll just leave this here:
**Elon Musk is attacking Biden over his proposed tax on billionaires
Tesla would not even exist today had it not been for a $465 million bailout from Obama
SpaceX got a $2.9 BILLION contract from the government to build a moon lander
That Musk is a self-made man is a total myth**

@locutusofborg Tesla paid off its loan earlier.
Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program loans that Tesla, Ford, Nissan, and Fisker were granted roughly a decade ago. Tesla, it should be realized, paid that loan off completely (+ interest) quite a while back — several years in advance of the payback deadline — which means that of all the auto manufacturers that utilized the program, Tesla was the first to pay off its loan completely.
Somewhat, but to a far lesser degree than the fossil fuel industry, to a far lesser degree than its bailed-out auto manufacturer competitors (GM/Chevy; Fiat Chrysler; etc.), to far lesser degree than those funding smear campaigns against it, and no more than pretty much any other large company out there right now.
SpaceX won the contract on the merits of its far superior bid.
Musk made millions as a young man from PayPal from his own ingenuity and hard work, investing it all in Tesla and SpaceX, which now provide tens of thousands of well-paid jobs.

Elon Musk Tweet
1 hour ago
Massachusetts has MIT
California has CIT
Texas has TITSElon Musk Proposes the Texas Institute of Technology & Science.
Given Elon’s disdain for University education, this is probably a troll, but perhaps he is pondering a way to offset some tax?
