Seems like most of the downvotes are in the Telsa communities. The other communities upvoted it heavily.

Having clocked in a lot of hours in San Francisco cabs, Ubers, Lyfts, and Waymos, IMHO, the Waymos are the least terrifying - by far.

My opinion might change if they’re ever allowed to travel at high speeds on a highway, but in a congested city where you can rarely get above 35mph, they feel really good.

No aggressive or distracted driving, no tipping, no stinky ass air freshers, and generally no double parking to pick people up.

I’m a convert.

Conservatives are going to eat this story up so hard.

This stock is still way overvalued.

Musk basically just burned through his entire “I helped Trump win” bump.

Now’s the time to make that stock worth what it should actually be worth.

Nah. Authoritarians love gaudy, showy, shit. They hate minimal modernist design. Hitler famously shut down the Bauhaus movement, and Trump is doing similar shit and pushing Classicism.

Look at the residences of Kim, Saddam, Assad, Chávez, etc. Columns, ornate gold shit, etc.

Out here in Silicon Valley, the big driver is a) you need MacOS to develop for iOS, and b) people prefer the UX over Windows / Linux.

Also, the hardware tends be well supported and performant for many years…. As long as you’re not gaming.

Question is, will this compel conservatives to buy EVs?
