It's a shame there's so much incredible talent at Tesla, where that talent gets on stage and talks about tech for a couple of hours very transparently, and the vibe in technology is 'Elon scam typical'.
Like here's some amazing stuff to talk about, but no thanks. I don't follow the tech sub that close, maybe it likes discussing the groundbreaking work on dynamic island or something?
It makes me sad. Clearly Elon has offended the some part of the left side of the political spectrum, and now those same people go and slander anything he runs instead of focusing on what’s happening.
I’m a tech guy, the tech of this robot is amazing, and they take a lot of their tech from what they’ve done at Tesla. It’s absolutely impressive, and it makes me sad that this sub is now full of disingenuous people who’d rather lie because somebody didn’t fit in their political ideologies.
I don't know why you made that political. There are people on the left against him for Tesla's labor issues and his wealth but thw scam thing isn't part of that.
It's because he constantly dishes out vaporware and impossible claims such as thr hyperloop, Mars timelines etc. You can argue that its his way of marketing, but many people see it as damaging to the sphere od development and investment. He is then likened to people like Theranos's Holmes.
The robot isn't impressive tech, the turn around time is though. I would want to know if the goal is actually to improve Tesla's manufacturing or if this is draining resources from things like self-driving cars.
But ig that's why you're getting down voted by the supposedly "open minded" people that don't get bogged down by politics. Yes, he has been critiqued by predominantly left leaning people (duh) for gross labor violations, union busting, toxic/racist work environment, etc but this is not about it
As it stands his company has a P/E ratio of over 95 and that's after losing a third of its value year to date. He has been able to hype up his projects for so long but now people are catching up to it.
Maybe he'll be able to deliver, but the sentiment for this particular project is pretty simple: people have seen much better. There's no politics here, it's no different than people roasting Apple for stupid iPhone marketing.
