Unless I'm reading Ford's website wrong, 4x4 is not included at the $50k price... but I'd be happy to be wrong because that would be good value.

Tesla Cybertruck needs separate battery pack in the bed to get promised range
>> What so the person who "provided a lot of value in getting us to where we are" got ditched in the end? Is that your story? Use people and then chuck them to the curb once everything u need has been extracted?

Technologists beware -- some business co-founders will treat you honestly and you'll be paid fairly. And some will not. You need to read this comment and realize that both outcomes are possibles, especially once lawyers, VCs, and other business people get into the mix.
Yep. And according to Wikipedia, it delivered 75 miles of range at 60mph on 26kWh NiMH battery. With 52kWh of today's batteries a vehicle in that format could easily do 150 miles (plenty for a work truck). You wouldn't be able sell it for $50k+ though.
> I'd bet good money the average Ford Ranger/Maverick hauls more than the average F-150 today

The Maverick can tow 4,000 lbs - which is pretty prohibitive with a small bed and the weight of a trailer. You're better off getting a modern Tacoma, of which there is an entire subreddit of people who will gleefully show you they too can haul.
If the policy is followed no errors will be generated on the build server. You have to have a codebase that builds cleanly for this to be possible so you're forced to resolve warnings before they become a cancer.

It was too on the nose the first time. When it was airing I was raising VC funds, and it was basically a documentary. I would laugh every time someone offered me a Fiji water at a VC office.
Great job at explaining the rules! Tried it out from my phone, how do I „confirm“ a move? I seem to be unable to actually finish a move.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree and have had some ideas for improving this - one of them being copy/paste and drag behavior where you could copy a selection in Rectangle Pro and paste it as prettified JSON in an editor, and vice-versa. The dot file idea is also one that I like - it's just a surprisingly large effort to "do it right". Making UI's for representing this complexity is kind of tricky, and what's there now is actually my first cut - something that I figured I would iterate on but haven't gotten the time together to do it.
A million people have paid the reservation for it.

That's already many more units than the amount Tesla is going to be able to build in the following years.

edit: Apparently it's 1.9M reservations.

You can't just combine capex with notional opex savings and then post that as if that's the effective price.

is it a prejudice when a very common "critique" is "I didn't get it"? A lot of people want something concrete to get. They became used to a very narrow set of structures and expectations. They think they getting it or not makes the work good or bad.
I'd say the bot is very weak. My first game I had no real idea what I was doing. Half the game I thought I had to maintain contact with my starting square or lose, until I managed to wall in my opponents starting square and didn't win. Then I tried to make as many walls as I could because I didnt like my pieces being captured and walls seemed more solid. Suddenly it said I won and I was like wait how, turns out I had managed to turn every circle into a wall except the walled in starting square.
I'm not sure what the dunk here is.

If you as an oil painter can't understand why AI generated low-effort dreck is unappealing to so many, i'm surprised. It requires next to nothing to create and anyone can do it with virtually zero effort. Even Jackson Pollock (hated on by so many non-abstract artists as creator of something that "even a chimp can do") on the other hand had to spend hours getting his hands dirty and setting up his enormous canvases. There's something about that creative work process that has appeal, which generating images by typing little bits of text absolutely doesn't.

Or let's take your example of Peter Doig, whose art I happen to like. He may use found photos but comparing this to AI renderings is absurd. He takes those and then ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY PAINTS THEM into a work of art. The difference is enormous.

Now if someone incorporated generative AI into a complex composition of mixed media to construct a creative piece of art that required thinking, planning, some modicum of effort at least, I could understand it. Generating 100 copies of a certain style with a few prompts is definitely not that though.

Over the years, when I meet a non-technical founder looking for a technical founder, I ask them if they're ok owning as little of the startup that they offer to the technical person, until they can deliver sales.

Technical people, in large do deliver a product and something that works. It might not be what the market wants, or the right thing, but speed of iteration, is again technical, and something the technical founder uniquely must bring.

There is a video from YC that says they can see it from a mile away when the non-technical founders have taken advantage of the technical person, founder or not, by not giving them equity equal to the difference they make.

I couldn't agree more.
Yeah I agree. But there are a large number of people (I think 100k+) who put down a deposit between 2019 and today. I realize it's refundable but it's still a slimy thing to do.

> available today

None of the CTs are available today, they're all at some unspecified point in 2024.

The cheapest CT is ostensibly available in 2025, but estimates from this company that far out are hilariously worthless.

Prospective customers of the cheapest CT might remember the cheapest Model 3, which the CEO promised to deliver in July, 2017, but actually began delivery in February, 2019.

> same 250 mile range but AWD standard

That "(EST.)" next to the range is doing a lot of work!

Range expectations should be informed by the company's sordid history of rigging the in-car display to inflate range projections, then creating a special "Diversion Team" to cancel customer service appointments related to range issues, regulatory action and fines for misleading advertising about vehicle range, Edmunds finding that Tesla models often fail to meet their advertised ranges, etc.
> That seems near illegal.

Oh, come on. Tesla is not hiding this. It's the first thing you see in the pricing section, and it's the last thing you see at the bottom. Maybe it's illegal somehow, but this is certainly not immoral.

Tesla is making the case for the efficiency gains of their vehicle based on what most people drive today. This is certainly becoming less relevant/useful as electric/hybrid vehicles become more popular, but it is still quite helpful for anyone trying to compare the cost of a Tesla vs a ICE automobile. Even better, this expected total cost of ownership would be included somewhere like it is with home appliances [0].

> It also assumes you’re not already driving an EV so your current gas cost is $0.

In that case, you can simply select the "Purchase Price".

> Savings over time is a whole other dimension, you have to wait for it. And it makes huge assumptions about usage and input (gas) prices.

That's fair. Tesla very clearly details their assumptions under the "see details" link, which to my eyes looks quite generous:

Gasoline Savings

Electric vehicles are less expensive to fuel than gasoline powered vehicles. The average person drives between 10,000 and 15,000 miles and spends between $1,700 and $2,500 on gasoline per year.

We've assumed a fuel economy of 20.0 miles per gallon for a comparable gasoline powered truck. We've also assumed the national average of $0.16 per kilowatt-hour for residential electricity (assumed for 100% of charging) and $3.30 per gallon for gasoline over the next three years. Tesla efficiency values are based on Cybertruck All-Wheel Drive.

Comparison gasoline vehicles are selected based on vehicle class, seating capacity and standard features. We use the EPA estimated range standard to compare efficiency data between our vehicles and a comparable gasoline alternative using each vehicle's combined city/highway MPG and MPGe ratings. Actual range may vary based on factors such as speed, weather conditions and elevation change.

Cybertruck All-Wheel Drive consumption rating = 42.9
kWh/100mi

Comparison vehicle consumption rating = 20.0 mpg

We used the most recent gasoline and electricity prices that were available to us through third-party resources on November 30, 2023.

Yes, I typically run toolchains that are slightly ahead or different than the one that is actually used in CI. I don't think it is reasonable to think that projects will be using it, though they often do appreciate me testing it early for them.
> I don't believe most Tesla owners are aware of this. Most that I know see an obvious choice in a product with no real competition.

We are quite aware and there is plenty of competition now. A lot of us are canceling orders after being burned by Tesla policies, poor customer service, poor vehicle quality, unmet commitments, fantasy autopilot capabilities, etc.
911s are engineered to go fast around a track (many times), not in a straight line and not just once.

Germany tends to be more focused on paperwork, there isn't a German that is even moderately active in business that I know that doesn't have a 'steuerberater', it's overly complicated and the paper tends to be in the lead. Germany has fewer free professions than other EU countries as far as I know, lots of things are regulated and it can definitely be harder to switch. But it isn't impossible and I know more than one German who successfully switched careers, even between regulated industries and academic / business careers.

In France, from what I know there is a fairly strong culture of secondary education that creates an 'in-group', not unlike what you see in the UK or the USA with their top-tier universities, and you are either 'on the plan' or you won't be able to get in unless you are of exceptional abilities and that rarely happens later in life, so I think that alone is sufficient to explain the discrepancy.

In NL you can enroll in higher education basically whenever you want, quota permitting and with the intense competition for such spots from abroad by very qualified young people this too can be tricky, depending on the field. But in NL a university degree isn't a pre-requisite for many jobs outside of academia (and teaching) itself.

Anything to do with technology tends to be more merit based, and achievement there tends to trump formal education, and by the time you are 40+ that formal education tends to be weighted far less than when you are say 25 and just out of school.

Other countries would add more to the pattern of variability, there is a huge difference between say Poland or Romania or the Nordics or the Baltics, further reflected in the weight that which a diploma or degree from such institution would carry, especially abroad. For instance, right now in the Baltics there is something of a brain drain happening with the younger generation moving West in droves and so as an older person it is stupidly easy to enroll in a university program. But that degree isn't going to help you much unless you remain in the local economy and the degrees from a decade or more ago are given more weight than the ones that you get there right now because they are fairly desperate for students just to keep the departments up and running.

Right, I understand that. I'm overwhelmingly in support for most warnings. I just think that a handful don't have good tradeoffs or are not necessarily the most valuable for many projects.
Should they? Probably not in most cases. Do they? Absolutely.

The real killer here though is the limit. If you're making $160k, that $7000 is still a real incentive. Can you afford it without, sure, but if we're trying to incentivize EVs then everyone should get the incentive... sometimes wealthy people are wealthy because they save money whenever possible, so the incentive will still move the needle on EV adoption.

I've also thought similar. From a security standpoint though it seems like shared libraries are largely a win. Imagine you're running a bunch of services and a vulnerability is found in OpenSSL. With shared libraries you can update one package to be pretty sure they're fixed.
SF writers are hugely creative. I have often thought that a good way to find an idea for a startup would be to read lots of SF then try to implement what I found. Maybe Neil Gaiman will write a story describing some solution to this problem. With his audience, that might be all it would take to spur the creation of such a solution.
Turning on -Werror means that once the warnings are eliminated, they stay eliminated, and a developer who adds code that produces a warning has their checkin rejected. If it isn't used the number of warnings will just grow and grow.

You're right, updated compilers that have more warnings are an issue, and that's why the document recommends that -Werror be used during development but not in the shipped code (for open source projects), so the recipient of the code isn't blocked by the problem you cite.

Could be the key. I've always been looking for some pretty obvious give -- saying it's borderline impercetible seems like it might be the key. Other commenters here seem to be saying something similar.
