They need FSD. Asian people can't drive worth a shit.Short covering
Tesla jumps 16% after passing key hurdle to roll out advanced driver-assistance tech in China
If Tesla can get their cars through this.. It will succeed in the West.They need FSD. Asian people can't drive worth a shit.
There is nothing in it for any of us quasi middle class folks.That is a realistic generalization.
As an elderly retired person on a fixed income, I have to ask ? What's in it for me ?
Nothing
Will we see it in the "1000" ?Off-Road Mode and more updates rolling out soon
Here’s what’s coming...
–
Off-Road Mode
Overland Mode – More consistent handling & better overall traction while driving on rock, gravel, deep snow, or sand.
Baja Mode – Vehicle balance is improved & the vehicle handles more freely when Stability Assist is set to Minimal.
Locking Differentials (Dual Motor AWD) | Off-Road Mode
On uneven or slippery terrain, if a wheel has limited or no traction, Cybertruck can direct that torque to the opposite wheel.
In Off-Road Mode, choose from Locking Differentials options on the vehicle status area or in the Off-Road app.
Front Locking Differential (Cyberbeast Tri Motor) | Off-Road Mode
Go to Off-Road Mode > Overland to enable Locking Differential feature. Cyberbeast tri motor has a virtual rear locked differential which is always working in overland mode.
Trail Assist | Off-Road Mode
It’s like cruise control, but for off-roading. Trail Assist helps maintain a set cruising speed so you can focus on steering. Trail Assist works as both a hill ascent and descent control helping to keep the wheels from slipping.
Off-Road Mode > Trail Assist
Slippery Surface | On-Road
Better traction control on snowy, icy, wet, or slick roads to distribute traction evenly across all tires.
Dynamics > Slippery Surface
Dynamics > Engage Rear Locking Differential for increased traction (should be used temporarily only)
Ride and Handling with a Load | On-Road
Adaptive suspension now estimates payload more accurately & automatically adjusts damping to deliver a more comfortable ride & more consistent, confident handling.
CyberTent Mode
Levels the suspension so you can sleep comfortably on a flat surface in your CyberTent ️.
Also keeps the tonneau cover open to accommodate your tent. Lights, AC & outlets will stay on as well if enabled.

Here is my "curiosity" about the advanced driver assist. For the past 60 years, the Chinese procure one item from America, disassemble it, copy the components, produce the components, assemble it and sell it back to the Americans for less than the one item they procured.
Does Elon think for one minute they will not copy and produce his system ?
That was my first thought - Chines will steal all the TESLA tech then incorporate into weapons. We will have Chinese FSD equipped drones patrolling US soon.Here is my "curiosity" about the advanced driver assist.

All of themWhat is the system they will copy and produce?

Got to sell a lot more Snake Oil to raise that trend line.Tesla stock is no longer about cars, market, etc. - it is now about Elon and his leaning to the Right. Tesla will be punished for the sins of Elon.
I'm no expert, either. From the looks of the FED and the Market, in general.... There are no experts there. What's there are investment bankers who have members of Congress in their back pocket. Congress passes laws that benefit the big players. Those players feed insider info back to members of Congress. The entire process is "insulated" from all of the 3 letter government agencies.No expert, but I have been following this closely as it is the reason that you have bank failures that have occurred and there will be a lot more.
What happened is that the fed had easy policy going to banks. The banks loaned a lot of money out, especially to the commercial real estate markets at low interest rates. Then the fed went and upped the interest rates. Many lenders are facing losses on older securities and loans, which pay relatively low interest rates compared with newer securities.
Problem is, a lot of commercial real estate loans have gone south with huge hair cuts that you may have heard about with office buildings being sold. Vacancies are way up, and the borrowers can't pay up. Now many regional banks are going to close and have to be bought up by larger banks.........It happened in Pennsylvania with first republic this weekend.
Eventually the domino's will cascade and very few regionals will survive if they have heavy commercial real estate exposure. I fear that this will lead to the CBDC..........What is even scarier is that it looks like the fed bailed out even the uninsured depositors at first republic. You know.....Too big to fail.
Unless it's a mature technology and you don't need overstaffed division to simply expand existing chargers.Having a decent supercharger network is pretty much what makes Tesla a car folks buy for anything other than a toy.
Firing that whole division seems pretty short sighted.
I traveled the world looking at other companies looking for innovation ideas for an American company. All the "success stories" out of Europe, Chine, etc. were driven by government regulation or subsidies. You cannot look at what China, Germany, Sweden, etc. are doing and say "that is what US should do" without pulling back some curtains. A lot of the "good ideas" overseas are downright stupid but they make sense if the government boxes you out of options with regulations or they subsidize until it makes sense.And in China, EVs actually make sense. First, their residential electricity costs are about half that of the west. They're actually building coal fired power generation plants, by the fist full. Gasoline prices are higher than ours, about $4/gal. Smog and other particulate pollution is absolutely horrendous there, their gassers usually don't even have cats and their industrial production is a filthy as 1800s London. Average miles per year in China are about half the US, and their commuting distance is far less as well. They have a high speed rail system that is inexpensive and efficient, relatively, for long distance travel. All in all, it's the best economical decision for someone to move to EV when updating their existing vehicle. Same reason why it doesn't make the best economical sense to move to an EV in the US. Carville said it best in 1992.
China is also dumping billions upon billions into subsidies to promote EVs, it makes it very easy to buy one. But, just like their real estate market, they're over producing demand and the Chinese EV market is chancing the same ending. Artificial inflation of a market is only sustainable to a point, eventually the taxpayers start demanding something else get subsidized, and contrary to most politicians' thoughts, there really is a limited amount of other people's money.

China for the win
The "Stock Buy Back" epidemic by giant American corporations is putting another nail in the coffin of America.Money must be tight, credit cards maxed out; people not buying as much Starbucks
Trouble at Starbucks (SBUX) has prompted former Starbucks chief Howard Schultz to weigh in on the situation. "I've emphasized that the company's fix needs to begin at home: U.S. operations are the primary reason for the company's fall from grace," he wrote on LinkedIn, adding that the coffee giant needs to refocus on the customer experience after Q2 earnings "significantly" missed expectations. SBUX has declined 17% since then after slashing its guidance.
The U.K. will be under Sharia law within the next 10 years. Isn't alcohol banned under that law? This doesn't seem to be a forward looking investment.Heineken is to spend £39m on reopening about 60 UK pubs and sprucing up “tired” locals in suburban areas in an effort to attract more consumers working from home.
My crystal ball is not showing 10 years into the future. Kind of like installing solar panels and waiting for them to pay for themselves or buying a Tesla.The U.K. will be under Sharia law within the next 10 years. Isn't alcohol banned under that law? This doesn't seem to be a forward looking investment.
yea,, so blackrock can dump their crap on you..Hmmmm...
BlackRock says now is the time to lock in higher yields and move cash into bonds
History shows investors can miss out on locking in higher yields if they wait for an answer on Fed rate cuts, a new BlackRock report says. Investors with cash on the sidelines may want to start moving some of that money into bonds, according to a new report from BlackRock. The bond market has seen some volatility amid the uncertainty around interest rates and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. On Friday, the 10-year Treasury yield briefly tumbled below 4.5% after weaker-than-expected jobs growth for April and a surprise tick higher in the unemployment.
I am bullish on MSFT... the integration of CoPilot is amazing and further builds Microsoft's moat.Liking it now
