Utopia Talk / Politics / Tesla Robot

murder Member	Thu Jan 27 15:13:58 Elon Musk says it’s more important for Tesla to make a robot than new car models this year * The “Tesla Bot” is the “most important product” that Tesla is developing this year, CEO Elon Musk said Wednesday on a fourth-quarter earnings call, putting it ahead of the Cybertruck and other vehicles, including the Semi and the Roadster. * The robot, code-named Optimus, “has the potential to be more significant than the vehicle business over time,” Musk said. * The robot is an example of Musk’s showmanship, in which he announces that Tesla is working on exciting products scheduled for years into the future that help to energize employees, customers and investors. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Wednesday on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call that a humanoid robot is the “most important product” that Tesla is developing this year, putting it ahead of the much-hyped Cybertruck and other vehicles, including the Semi and the Roadster. Musk first teased the “Tesla Bot” in August using a human in a robot suit, warning during the company’s “AI Day” that it “probably won’t work” but added that he hoped to have a prototype in the next year. “I think it has the potential to be more significant than the vehicle business over time,” Musk said of the robot, which is code-named Optimus. The Tesla boss added the company has no plans to introduce the Cybertruck this year and that it isn’t currently working on a $25,000 vehicle. The lingering chip shortage hampers the release of new models without resulting in fewer total vehicles being delivered, he said. While the Tesla robot could be years away and may never come to fruition, Musk said Wednesday it does have the potential to revolutionize the economy if it can perform tasks that can now only be carried out by humans. “If you think about the economy, it is — the foundation of the economy is labor,” he said. “Capital equipment is distilled labor. So what happens if you don’t actually have a labor shortage? I’m not sure what an economy even means at that point. That’s what Optimus is about, so [it’s] very important.” Advances in robotics have allowed companies to replace certain workers with machines, but the limitations of current technology are such that many tasks still need to be done by humans. ″[Optimus is] intended to be friendly, of course, and navigate through a world of humans, and eliminate dangerous, repetitive and boring tasks,” Musk said in August. The robot is an example of Musk’s showmanship, in which he announces that Tesla is working on exciting products scheduled for years into the future that help to energize employees, customers and investors. Often, the innovations announced aren’t realized within the projected timeline. For instance, at an “Autonomy Day” event in April 2019, Musk said the company would have 1 million autonomous “robotaxis” on the road in 2020. Those robotaxis still don’t exist. http://www...uct-development-this-year.html

TheChildren Member	Fri Jan 28 00:21:21 failed delivery dates? or failed lies there aint no hypaloop comin, u stupid bitch tesla truck was a lie there aint no mars journey comin u dumb fucks theres no tesla robot foolz they dunt got da expertise nor da brainz 2 build any single one of these projects let alone all of them. gtfo
jergul large member	Fri Jan 28 02:56:59 Stock down 10%.
Habebe Member	Fri Jan 28 03:14:44 Wouldn't a failed lie be the truth though?
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Fri Jan 28 03:36:49 No, but it could potentially still be spectacular. Which is technically a win. Lie x fail = -1(win) If fail > 10 billion USD
TheChildren Member	Fri Jan 28 04:10:19 well he cashed out and is now rich. he can retire and not give a flyin fuck so da joke really is on all these stupid mothafuckers who glorify him
Habebe Member	Fri Jan 28 04:28:14 http://youtu.be/RoCnwJm1iBo Failed lie.
jergul large member	Fri Jan 28 04:31:27 I did not mean the 10% drop was serious, but rather used it to gauge the effect of robot uptalking.
murder Member	Fri Jan 28 05:42:13 "Of course it's his most important project. He already hyped all the other projects into the ground with failed delivery dates. XD" This announcement could have been fine if he had stuck to robots instead of humanoid robots. Obviously there are plenty of robots that already increase efficiency all over the place. There's no reason to believe that Telsa couldn't come out with a few models that could perform various tasks cheaper and faster than they are currently being done. But he always need to take everything over the top.
murder Member	Fri Jan 28 05:52:43 "Wouldn't a failed lie be the truth though?" No. If you tell your wife you were working late, but her best friend spotted you out with some other woman, that would be a failed lie.
Habebe Member	Fri Jan 28 09:37:47 Murder, Fair enough. I stand by link though.
