To clarify, that's not to diminish what these companies (and other similar ones) are doing -- this is a fundamentally unscoped problem that is being solved. Above all of them, what Waymo has accomplished is truly shocking, and a testament to the power of being about to throw hundreds of...

It would be impossible for me to overstate how cautious and risk-averse traditional automotive manufactures are regarding safety features. The requirements for how reliable the systems are, as well as the requirements on how they are developed, are quite extreme (and it's unclear if Tesla...

@Joe I just noticed -- the color coding on this chart is hilariously wrong:

Hm; can you screenshot that? The configurator (and my sales contact) both say non-refundable. Sales also did not think it was transferable (e.g. from a DE back to a GT, or to a different purchaser).

"Boxy"? There are a lot of ways I would describe my X, but "boxy" is not one of them. Are you sure you're not talking about Volvo?

So, while we're all waiting and arguing about panel gaps, I'm clearly pretty bad at forum search. Two topics I'm interested in being pointed at: What's the service experience been like in the Boston area? Exceptional in-persona and mobile service was something we loved about our Tesla, until...

I stand corrected! I look forward to seeing it in person...

"designed" is a flexible word here. I'm sure they designed the UI and specced the display parameters. I would be shocked if they built the hardware or wrote the eye-tracking and software needed to have proper registration between the driver view and the road. The parts are likely from someone...

This isn't quite right, and I agree it's confusing (especially with the marketing). Nvidia has followed the old Intel model, which is that they're a hardware provider that also has a whole bunch of sophisticated software that "works best" on their platform. The Nvidia DRIVE platform (hardware...

The iceberg slide is accurate, although it would be a lot more informative if it highlighted which portions were designed in-house. I was part of the team that launched a new division where I work specifically to develop next-generation automotive software. (I'm not directly involved today...

Lease details were just sent out for the Dream Edition promotion: 36-month leases from $1,999: For U.S. market only. Assumes a vehicle price of $141,550 including destination fee for Lucid Gravity Dream Edition. Total capitalized cost of lease is only available if delivery is taken within 7...

Oh, sorry to bury the lede there -- I guess the thing people here care about are the lease options. 36-month leases from $1,999 For U.S. market only. Assumes a vehicle price of $141,550 including destination fee for Lucid Gravity Dream Edition. Total capitalized cost of lease is only available...

New promotional email! @hmp10 's sales advisor was right:

I have FSD. It was "only" $6k when I bought the vehicle. When I say I don't let it drive in city traffic, I mean that I live in the city with the oldest road layouts in the US if I enable it before I get to a major road, it constantly tries to kill me or others. It gets light states wrong and...

That seems a little paranoid -- I'm sure it's just not wanting to flood YouTube with test drivers before the official videos. The press isn't going to just ignore major problems. The complaint I'm expecting to have is that the ADAS won't as good as my Tesla. I never let it drive in city...

Well, the implication was that *I* could get one by the end of June -- something I would not bet on even if that was the intent -- not that deliveries started in June. I feel like that would require a significant production ramp even if the cap is 450 vehicles. (I did not ask about that and he...

Thanks for the reminder to call the number on my "exclusive invitation". It seems to be a mail merge from marketing because it was the number for the Boston Seaport studio (which isn't yet a licensed sales location) rather than the actual Natick facility -- they were just as confused as we are...

Any speculation on why the paint and interior choices are limited on DE if it's not going to ship early? (Like other reasons, "because they can?")

Oh, good, I'm looking forward to another 3 hour video...

I think the simple solution is that nobody is allowed to have more than one. Sorry y'all.
