How many robotaxis are they developing?

This and Starlink I think are going to be his big moneymakers in the long run.

I got a new Model Y (Juniper) last year and I love it. And I'm not even a car guy. It's quiet, super smooth, has incredible acceleration. I love the tech in general (being able to use my phone as my "key", being able to "summon" it to me if needed).

But the main reason that I bought it was the full self driving, which has been... mixed. What it's capable of doing is insane. If it let me sit in the back seat and watch TV on the monitor, then most of my issues wouldn't be a big deal. But it takes some stupid arse routes. It waits until the last second to change lanes to turn onto streets/interstate exits, can't get into the lane it needs to, then has to go to the next street/exit and backtrack. That costs time. It drives like a bitch at stop signs (the government forces them to). It's incredible at seeing and reacting to things that the driver wouldn't be able to see or react to fast enough. It struggled with tailgaiting for a long time, but that has been fixed in the newest updates.

The biggest issue, though, is that there are simply some areas that the Teslas don't have sufficient cameras/view angles to properly handle. This is an absolutely awful interstate on-ramp near the Superdome:

It's horribly designed, with no space to merge, and awkward elevation changes + guardrails blocking your view. The first time FSD went this route, it flew through the yield sign without issue. I could not believe that it actually saw oncoming traffic that it merged into. The next time FSD brought me there, I took over, stopped at the yield sign (no one was behind me), and waited for someone to drive past me in the lane that it's merging into. I watched the screen (which shows everything the cameras see) as people in that lane drove past me. It could NOT see those vehicles. Even the newest Tesla vehicles ("Hardware 4") still need more cameras, particularly in the very front/sides of the vehicle, and also some cameras above the doors. It would cost more money, and the higher up cameras would look awkward, but they need it. Some sort of LIDAR antenna might work as well in lieu of the higher cameras. Either that, or the FSD needs to know which trouble spots (like the one I linked) to avoid.

There’s nothing more annoying and shitty than grifter “influencers”

They really are the worst of the worst. Even their reactions look fake.

---

I don't get it either, but I'm assuming that Disney has done the math and has verified that spending ~$5k per influencer to show them a good weekend results in some profit. Either that or they know that it's a money loser, but they don't care because they're still getting money from elsewhere to promote the message. But it's definitely not a math error.

Do whites have a right to exist? It’s an existential threat?

Yeah they do. That’s absurd. Nobody said otherwise.

Who is all up in their feels?

C’’mon Karen…

America was ~90% white as recently as the late 50's - early 60's. It's maybe 60% now. These Texas cities being overwhelmed with Indians is a much more recent occurrence. What are you confused about here? How am I a Karen for noticing? There are 1.5 billion Indians. There are ~350m Americans. If you move all Indians into America (who cares so long as it's legal immigration), then is America still America? Or is it India?

Is that the sticking point? The version different from my understanding, is where Assimilation requires following Christianity, or giving up your religion, or just practicing your religion in secret?

---

Assimilation only occurs with VERY limited immigration. Entire towns that were heavily white (with some Hispanic) have been overrun by first-generation Indians. They're not assimilating at all, and have no intention to. That would take both effort and a respect for their new country.

Honest question, considering that as a PAC, AIPAC can not accept foreign donations, so it is supposed to only be funded by American citizens.

If that is 100% the case, then what is the difference between them and any other special interest PAC? Is is just because they are Jews?

---

There are 200k+ dual US/Israel citizens, including Adelson. Considering Israel's population (~10m), that's an insane number.

quote:

---

I ask because I am told Israel as a country is the problem and not actual Jews but then so many of you come on here and post this stuff and now it's Jews who are the issue.

---

If, tomorrow, Iran turned Israel into a nuclear wasteland, American Jews are still going to heavily support unfettered 3rd world immigration. It is possible for both the nation and the diaspora to be issues. I don't understand why so many on this right-leaning forum are so terrified to say as much. There are tons of threads on PT calling out both Somalia and Somalis living in the US. People rightfully gave Ilhan Omar a ton of shite when she said on video that her priority was her home country. But make the same observations about Jews/Israel, and suddenly you're Hitler. And Israel has cost Americans way more money and soldiers than Somalia has.

the n-word is a commodity.

I shorted the n-word back around 2010ish when the Fedgov was printing them off like crazy. I should have made bank but they continue to manipulate the supply to suppress the price (almost entirely digital n-words, hardly any physical, trust me they can't mine physical n-words fast enough). I lost my arse off on those trades. If you want to buy a few physical n-words and use them for fun or give them to your kids as a present, then have at it. Just don't expect to be able to retire off of them, especially if only trading in digital n-words. Plus, you assume that if things go to shite then your physical n-words are going to be super valuable, but bullets and lean are much more tradeable in that situation.

You mean the catholic church?

frick them too for their pro-immigration stances. To pretend that Jews/Israel aren't a major supporter/funder of immigration into western nations is absurd.

Playing devils advocate here. What has Israel helped America achieve in the past 20 years?

Fewer moslems on the planet. No further analysis needed.

Look up a handful of the major NGO's that facilitate immigration into the US (including Muslim countries). Look at the names of the board members.
