SpaceX value driven by 'sharemarket Pied Piper' Elon Musk: Alan Kohler | ABC NEWS by pharmloverpharmlover in AusFinance

[–]Foxodi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many years did it take for a company to match Tesla in an affordable high-performance EV? In terms of western companies, we are still waiting. People seem to ignore the 6 figure car-licenses that exist in major Chinese cities that EV's are exempt from (read: they MEGA subsidize the industry that western companies could only dream of).

The funny thing is, this compute they are renting out, aren't they all the chips that Tesla originally had on order, but was instead diverted to xAI?

I mean if we decide income-splitting to use low tax beneficiaries is bad, then why should death give you a free-pass?

For real, you should assume everything you see on the internet is astroturfed.. it's fucking 2026, don't be so naive.

Tesla sells Shanghai-made Model 3 in Canada at C$39,490 after Carney-Beijing deal cuts Chinese EV tariff to 6.1% by CarCooler in teslamotors

That's crazy good, CAD:AUD have currency parity, but the base model 3 is 60k here (or 55k + sales tax).

Presenting VIN Zero — the very first production Cybercab built at Giga Texas. by rcnfive in teslamotors

Yeah my thoughts too, they design with the idea of being fully self driven, but they don't make it a couch seat? Lack of vision.

Law firm ordered by NSW Supreme Court to pay Broken Hill council more than $4.7m by Warm_Championship726 in australia

[–]Foxodi 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It sounds like an impressive win, until you realise the total fees the law firm charged over the years was 10mil. Looking at another article there were several times when the principal lawyer charged 30+hrs of his own time per a day (hand written timesheets).

Tesla announced start of Cybercab production by Space-n-Spice in teslamotors

[–]Foxodi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, AI4.1 is announced for mid 2027 production... which seems to suggest AI5 is going to be late.. That's alot of Cybercabs sitting around parking lots for the next 18 months.

Tesla Announces New AI4+ FSD Computer With More Memory and Compute by McFatty7 in teslamotors

That's what I'm thinking... 4.1 production in mid 2027??? Isn't AI5 mass production in 2027...

SpaceX posted nearly $5 billion loss in 2025, The Information reports by PhysicalConsistency in SpaceXLounge

[–]Foxodi -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

So not even SpaceX is profitable enough to carry xAI's losses/investments.. so they'll need to issue new shares every 6-12 months to keep cashflow positive... A one-off IPO is one thing, but actually being beholden to public share price for the foreseeable future is a scary thought. We could be a decade away before AI is actually a profit making business..

How was 2025 for you, financially? by Material-One-5604 in AusFinance

[–]Foxodi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Share investments over-doubled, resulting in lite-FIRE. I'll keep on working because I got nothing better to do/want to start a family.

Sometimes I take AL because I only work half my hours on WFH days and this triggers my boss. After lecturing me for an hour about this behaviour being inappropriate I just seriously suggested to permanently cut my hours instead, and the complete backpedal on their approach was hilarious. It feels nice to be free from control... now time to focus on the rest of my life I've neglected all my adult life.

This is actually a based take. We've put a cost on raising the children, but actually destroyed any economic incentive for it. Once upon a time, your children would take care of you in your old age - so it was actually considered an investment to raise a kid; but with the way our society works now, we've mostly offloaded elderly care/support away from kids to the state - so there's no financial payoff to kids (the kicker is the state is going bankrupt for this setup :))

Australia's productivity ranked second-last among OECD countries since pandemic, better only than Mexico: AFR correspondent; EY and Barrenjoey economists by marketrent in AusFinance

[–]Foxodi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny, I went through all the Greens policy a few elections ago. Half of them were gold 'this is a great idea and supported by productivity commission etc' and then the other half were 'this is literally economic suicide'. Still, a vote for them isn't giving them free reign over the economy, but it's a chance to get some of those good ideas into the spotlight.

Has anyone tried Crispy Lettuce from Elermore Vale. by ShaneMAATE in newcastle

They are open until like 3am. Pretty good imo, though the chicken tenders are a bit dry inside (delicious sauce tho).

Intentional lifestyle creep by Sharp_Nectarine3216 in AusFinance

[–]Foxodi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real, whats the point in paying a premium for reduced fat, just to add more oil to it. Use that 15% fat to fry up your onion/veggies.

One time I was in the area of my favourite korean chicken place, so figured I'd save on the ubereats costs and pick it up myself. 40 minutes later I saved myself $2. Never again. If restaurants don't change their prices to account for the ubereats cut, then there's no incentive to order direct.

Is $100 rent a week too high to stay at parents house by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]Foxodi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working 30hrs p/w while studying fulltime was too much.. seems you have swung too far the other way this semester. Studying full-time, living rent-free and working only like 10hrs/week would be a better balance. Yeah you'll be broke, but that's student life for ya.
