stephenitis··on Is Tesla's reputation ruined? It depends on who you ask
> very poor reputation for build quality and then follow it up with bad service.

> My car has been rock solid

anecdotal evidence is very warped in Tesla land, most forum surfaces people having problems rather than people happily enjoying their cars, the media has also been reporting on every detail of tesla like a hawk giving this perception in my opinion.

I'm willing to change my opinion on data that looks not just at tesla but tesla compared to other car manufacturers

stephenitis··on My battle with Tesla: I want to clear my name before I die
I love the power, torque, speed, and safety of the Tesla, I'm happy to trust it with the lives of my family over a Toyota.

What else can compare at the same price point? + charging network + software feature.

And the dealership free sales process.

Not a fan of Elon's politics. Are the other car manufactures more moral than Tesla? it seems like Tesla is a news magnet.

I hate to say it but I'm still a fan of the car, and experience so far in my first year of ownership, 23' model y performance. TBC

23 model y owner. Quite happy after 1 year. 0 issues Extremely happy

stephenitis··on Tesla releases Q1 2024 deliveries: disastrous results
Gross profit is the money a company makes after subtracting the cost of producing its goods or services.

Net profit is what remains after all expenses, like operating costs, taxes, and interest, are deducted from the gross profit.

stephenitis··on Tesla releases Q1 2024 deliveries: disastrous results
Does anyone know by what measure/scale other major car manufacturers over produce vehicles in a year?

I suspect Tesla has wiggle room to discount this batch of vehicles to get them out the door quickly, the rebate will be built into the price of the vehicles this year so i'm curious how much that will reflect in the price drop.

stephenitis··on Tesla releases Q1 2024 deliveries: disastrous results
I'm curious, how much would you spend on a car?

The $7,500 rebate sort of tweaked with the value system in my head and got my to purchase my model Y. also with not dealing with dealerships was a huge +

Trucks are great for moving furniture, bringing garden material, wood, and mulch from the store.

I'm a Model Y owner and I still would not get a Cybertruck. If its too big for the Y I'll rent a Uhaul if its worth it, or borrow my friend's truck.

It would be a nice upgrade for my occasional camping trip to have the outlets and truck bed space for all the gear. so far the Model Y fits everything. give me a minivan-like vehicle though...

stephenitis··on Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison
"Never any criminal intent"

Sounds like someone didn't follow this case closely enough

stephenitis··on Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison
25 is a steep deterrance. Hard to know its effect since it'd hopefully deter some of the more heinous future financial crimes.
stephenitis··on Andrew Huberman's Mechanisms of Control
His behavior being oddly shifty with appointments, scheduled dates, delaying delaying delay, and then canceling last minute, sort of points to his pattern of lying and how messy his tangle of lies and schedule got.

In a business, where science, truth, and integrity are core to his brand. I think this really damaged his image.

I think he really needs to respond and not just brush aside these allegations against his character. Admitting real fault and harm and seeking help would've shown some humility and maturity. No one is perfect, but in an industry where you talk about how to optimize your health, mental, physical and relationships. It's a bad look.

I will say that I have personally benefited from some of his presentations and discussions with experts on various topics like eye health. For that I am grateful.

I will also say, some of his podcasts lacked tighter presentation and would veer into questionable science or studies.

stephenitis··on Andrew Huberman's Mechanisms of Control
Anecdote. I saw him talk on stage ant Psychedelic Science '23 about his MDMA experiences and he recounted how in his 3-4th experience he did it alone and at home and he felt nothing but hours of anger and rage. He didn't go into more detail about it but it raised an a big eyebrow and left me confused how that could happen.

sudden anger seemed to be reflected in the witness accounts from ex girlfriends and a recent YouTube video of a reporter, Scott Carney, who recounted being befriended by Huberman, ghosted, ghosted again on a trip that involved learning to dive and swim with shark. The journalist had a scathing impression of Huberman.
