A lot of exciting stuff. A lot of exciting incremental innovation. FSD is going to be a thing, autonomy is going to be a thing. I have an excel vault side for my cars for a while so this is it! OTOH I don’t want a humanoid in my home. The over technologization of our surroundings and lives makes me slightly uncomfortable, and weirdly not a fan of this uncreative uniform tech future, I want more color not dystopian I robot

That being said the underlying technology is just incredibly cool there’s just so much there that I am honestly wish I had my hands on and honestly wish that I could take a look and learn from. So in that sense probably the most cutting edge stuff that you’ll come across. Amazing

I think my issue is more on the product framing. Specifically the future that the product promises isn’t quite the future that I want. I see other futures that I’d like to see and I just don’t quite think this captures it, essentially. It’s not a diss against Tesla but more just that I want to see something different — something new, something unexpected and moving more emotionally as humans, not just another common trope of you’ll get back time! Time to do what? To become what? You’ll be more efficient — so you can do what? what’s the consequences of this? I want more future addressing of that, but again, create the future you want to see

The framing that I hear from EV manufacturers here in Asia is along the lines of — it’s not a car, it’s a technology platform to build upon (along the lines of what Musk said by declaring Tesla a software company). Thanks to electrification and FSD, the car becomes a first space (sleep, consume entertainment), a second space (work and take calls, with the added benefit of a quiet interior), or perhaps a third space (spend quality time with others, be it family on a commute, friends on a road trip, or strangers on a ride share). The car itself becomes a liminal space whose advanced connectivity and systems allow you to creatively make the best use of that “dead time”. In particular, we will look back at the old daily commute and be mind-blown as to how archaic it was

It sounds a bit like going into the future by looking at the past.
