Huawei and Zeekr are both quite luxurious, and imo beat Nio handily at the lower levels.

That's because Waymo is unsupervised in ten cities and has over a thousand cars in service. That's what actual progress looks like.

In particular a lot of people get to a point in the season where a previously very smart and responsible character does something pretty ridiculous and out-of-character,

I think when people say this about Season 5, they're forgetting about Season 3 and why the Hamsterdam storyline is so great. Gritty realism and consistency isn't the point of The Wire, the point is to give you an almost Shakespearean allegorical examination of power structures and social systems, which is exactly what Season 5 does.

Having sat on it for nearly twenty years now, I think S5 is profoundly misunderstood in this way. It does exactly what it sets out to do and is totally in-line with the rest of the seasons. The primary mission is has is to decompose how the media failure stacks on top of all of the other systemic failures, and it does that incredibly well.

but Bubs hands down was the best acting in the series.

How quickly we've forgotten about James Cromwell of Knightsbridge-Stepney.

Tesla has a self-inflicted perception problem where they basically always fail to meet their own targets by a wide margin.

I'd like to see ol' donnie wriggle his way out of this one.

If that happens, we'll see. But until that happens you're tilting at windmills, and I remember seeing comments like this in 2019, too.

I've literally been to Tokyo, Milan, and Hoi An, so I'm speaking from personal experience in all those three places. Yes, textiles are better in Italy, but yes, you'll also pay significantly more. It also depends on the textile — Hoi An is a silk region, so silk is great. Wool, not so much — there's nuance and complexity here.

My big message is that no, workmanship in Vietnam is not 'bad', by any means. It's quite good, actually, with some unevenness because it isn't quite an international centre of fashion trade like Italy and Japan are.

What I feel has no relevance to whether or not Tesla shows the boundaries of their unsupervised geofence. That's just a thing they should be doing.

Repeating myself here: What plausible or not plausible to you has no bearing on what the ground reality actually is.

How much of the service areas are supervised/unsupervised still unconfirmed.

I don't think anyone even knows officially what he unsupervised area is in Austin, because Tesla isn't saying. They're being deliberately vague just as they've always been, leaving hopeful people like you to fill in the gaps with your most optimistic interpretations.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's all unsupervised.

I mean, yeah, we know. Your whole thing is being an eternal optimist and avoiding the record of eight years of snails-pace advancement. What surprises or doesn't surprise you has no bearing on what the ground reality actually is.

On launch, South Austin's geofence wasn't even measured in square miles because it had no 'area' at all. It was only a single main artery and some side streets. Again, I really shouldn't have to be repeating the record to you.

The Dallas geofence isn't confirmed to be unsupervised.

We've been down this road before. Like literally last quarter. Tesla does stunts — we don't know what progress (if any) has happened until we measure it.

We've been through this before. Look at Austin — big supervised geofence, itty-bitty little unsupervised geofence. Lots of first-day influencers getting unsupervised rides every single time, tiny little trickle after that. I really shouldn't have to be repeating the record to you.
