So much ignorance about Tesla here. Very unfortunate since it reminds me of Apple shortly after the iPhone release.(Blackberry will rule!!!) Here’s what you do: 1 go to YouTube and watch the latest Tesla FSD videos posted by users. You will see that it is incredibly far along and has shown already to be 10 times safer than a traditional driver.  2. Learn and understand Tesla’s approach using AI and imminent Dojo to improve FSD. (Years ahead). 3. Learn about Megapacks. 4. Learn about Tesla manufacturing and supply chain. (Years ahead and much more efficient). 5 Learn about plans for Tesla Bots. Just getting started.   Great channel called the Tesla Space.  6. Tesla is rock solid financially and making great profits already. ($10B in the past year) Apple has always been my number one investment but Tesla’s future from this point forward is much brighter. Oh yeah, cybertruck with 1.5M pre orders due in Aug-Sep. My great regret is that I too believed the Tesla FUD for many years. 

Tesla has such a lead in all EV areas, I can’t believe Apple would have much to contribute other than improving CarPlay. 

I’d also expect a much larger and longer lasting battery pack for the VisionPro. 2 hours is not going to cut it. 

Tim should asterisk all his comments on privacy with *except for China. China of course is a totalitarian communist nation where it’s citizens are surveilled 24 hours a day with no privacy from the Govt.  Citizens are routinely disappeared and they currently have 1-2 million in concentration camps in the western provinces.  But hey, they love our iPhones.  

I had an abysmal experience the last time in the Apple store. I had made an appointment a week in advance to pick up and activate my new Iphone XR, trading in a 6S. After an hour in the store, passed to 3 different reps, I left the store with a non-functioning iphone (though I didn't know this until after I left the store to go to dinner). I returned to another Apple store after dinner and they could not fix the problem, had to go to T-Mobile, where one of their reps replaced the sim and activated it properly. Follow up customer surveys and comments were not answered by Apple. And I am a long term Apple shareholder. Not sure what Angela does for her $70M, but I'd start with sending customers home with working products.
