      Back in 2013 it was my dream to own a Tesla and not have a gas car. I was able to do it in 2018 and now that it’s paid off I don’t want to hop into another car payment.

      I feel a sense of betrayal in that I thought we were all in it to help transition to cleaner energy usage and whatnot but instead it’s another speculative investment vehicle that only exists to make a few people stupidly richer.

      I just want companies to turn into things that make valuable products and aren’t only focused on “stock number go up”

    This vehicle will reportedly be purpose-built to function solely as a self-driving cab. As such, it will not contain an accelerator, brake pedals or a steering wheel, and will be hailed via a special Tesla app.

    Taking “move fast and break things” literally. Can the cars actually self-drive outside of a perfect laboratory environment? I guess we’ll find out because Elon Musk is the type of guy who tests in production.
