Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

I think they will exist in 10 years but they won't be making their largest profits from cars. It will be robotics, and only if they manage to beat every other tech company that will also go into robots...

Elon will get old soon too and what happens then with the company. It's all based on Elon Musks personality.

Maybe space exploration will take off and they will build moon bases and shit...

Robots already exist. They’re used in manufacturing worldwide. Tesla doesn’t sell any to anyone. They are not even competing.

Did you think I was talking about robots that already exist? It's kind of hard to miss that those exist I think.

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

You’re referring to robots that do not exist and therefore have not been designed or have been found to have a use for. Kind of hard to have a business that is supposed to sell a product it does not design, own or exist.

Oh OK. Yeah then I understand how you are thinking at least. Well, when it exists, you will see. :)

These are the kinds of stories people who keep bidding up the price tell themselves.

IMO, if any car company is going to make a breakthrough in robotics, it will probably be Toyota. Unlike Tesla, they're not faking things.

I dont own tesla so have no stake in what happens, and I believe more in Nvidia than Tesla for robotics too. We will see.

nVidia is completely tied in to the whole AI bubble. I don't know if it will survive once that pops.
