How stupid do they think we are?
Begs the question…
How stupid are we?
Apparently, collectively, pretty damned stupid.

🚨 The Tesla Semi math gets interesting when you stop looking at sticker price and start looking at cost per mile.
@CernBasher runs a simple example:
Diesel at $7/gal, 7 mpg → about $1.00/mile
Tesla Semi at $0.20/kWh, 1.7 kWh/mile → about $0.34/mile
That’s roughly $0.65/mile saved, or about $65,000 over 100,000 miles, before maintenance!
Across different fuel and electricity assumptions, the savings can still land around $49K–$95K per year.
That’s why the real Tesla Semi story may be ROI.
If the truck costs more upfront but pays that premium back in 1–2 years, fleet buyers may care less about purchase price and more about lifetime economics.
And if Tesla can also offer ~500 miles of range at a lower price than rival electric Class 8 trucks, the competitive gap gets even more interesting.

Crows so excited to show their tree to their favourite human, they are hopping and keep looking back to check if the human is following properly cause they know human's featherless and can't keep up if they fly.
Tesla FSD 14.3.8 feels like it’s on rails. Acceleration and turns feel like they are more appropriately damped.
This is also a good metric for AI models. Not benches. It’s why I’m not particularly interested in any AI model but Grok.
You know who doesn’t seem to figure into Revelations? The US. Russia does. Why do you think we won’t figure into things particularly? I sort of suppose we are neutered into insignificance or worse.
So we are attacking a nuclear armed evil regime. Smart.
Oh wait, maybe we know they aren’t nuclear armed?
