I've seen a few around in NZ and they ain't looking great, panel gaps you could drive another smaller car through

this month a multiple tesla cars randomly caught on fire

a telsa electric grid battery installation randomly caught on fire

and a tesla factory caught on fire, but not randomly because that factory has previously caught on fire due to poor safety

lol every time this idea resurfaces, that we should automate human industrial workflows by going to enormous effort to create humanoid robots, when those workflows tend to have major inefficiencies and hurdles to account for human limitations and safety that robots don’t need.

the push with cutting edge AI and robotics should be to design more and more specialized robots that can vastly exceed human physical capabilities and operate in conditions and spaces humans can’t. you know, like basically all other industrial machinery.

it doesn’t even really make sense for household assistant type tasks in spaces that must conform to human shapes. it’s still going to be much easier and cheaper to have separate specialized assistant devices, like a robot vacuum or whatever, than some 100+ lb awkward general purpose thing doing multiple tasks badly for $20,000 (pretending tesla has ever hit a price target) that cracks your tile every time it trips over your dog.

The suggestion that the body that humans evolved to deal with life a million years ago happens to be the best one for urban living is silly.

The ideal general purpose assistant is probably going to be some sort of compact quadruped that has a shelf that can carry poo poo and two hands coming out of its back that can manipulate things. Although to really gently caress with people, it could also be a robospider with a carry cage underneath its body and 4 of the legs can turn into various manipulators.

For specific tasks, it makes sense to design robots for that specific task. Like the robot arms you see in car factories or any variety of liquid handler. For general tasks, it makes sense to have a robot that has a form convenient for general tasks. Since we are humans, it makes sense to make those general robots human shaped because you can swap a human/robot in as needed for the general task. Plus you don't have to design specialized tools for generalized applications.

The human form isn't the best form for urban living but if we are designing something to augment human living, giving them a human form makes sense.

There are a lot of extinct breeds of dogs that used to have some utility that we've since automated in a different way. A specialized robot will ultimately have the same fate. On the other hand, a robot that can replace the servant class will make them extinct.

pure fantasy, a general purpose humanoid robot assistant that can outperform specialized machines in households or offices won’t happen in any of our lifetimes

Wow that's amazing

I've looked into it and ran some more numbers and apparently the world economy is $100 trillion. If you replace every single person on the planet with a Tesla bot Tesla would have a gross revenue of $100 trillion (if i didn't calculate wrongly). That a massive growth potential and a stock price increase of at least multiple times

^^^^^^Until I read the comments in that thread, I had no idea that anyone anywhere would be willing to take this basic rear end robot at face value, what to speak of believing it will ever do any of the things a robot slave would be expected to do. It's vaporware and will be "coming soon" for the next decade, like everything else Elon promotes.

When you grow up in a modern western city the family printer is basically your first girlfriend. I mean, we all done stupid sexual stuff when we were young. Do you really want to throw the first stone? That's all just a normal part of growing up in the '00s. Everyone did that back then, even when most people wouldn't admit to it. Let's not be self-righteous assholes here. It's all very normal stuff.

He doesn't need cars and trucks to look conventional either but they do. To me it is the true sign of the lack of innovation within Tesla, still building the same dumb poo poo as everyone else
