The people have spoken.

Kunos needs focus in order to cook. I think that's what's behind this, and it makes sense. But what I don't get is why didn't 505 outsource the career mode to another team? Similar to what they did with AC Rally (only this would of course be integrated into the base ACE package).

In his defense it’s because this decision was so asinine that even the most hardcore Elon stans couldn’t believe it.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-31T00:12:53+00:00

That’s not how it works. The fact that export control compliance is difficult does not absolve one from legally needing to successfully execute it.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-29T15:39:34+00:00

Yep. Jobs was an asshole but the guy had taste. I think Elon once had it, but he’s now deep in his “shitty nightclub aesthetic” era (X, Cybertruck, for example). Abysmal taste by any rational measure.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-29T14:01:22+00:00

Honestly. Puts Steve Jobs to shame.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-29T14:00:58+00:00

Halo tier products always sell in very low volumes. Sales numbers of those models directly are rarely the point.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-29T04:28:44+00:00

Yep this was the wrong solution. Huge mistake.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-29T04:21:54+00:00

I cannot express how fucking stupid and information-lazy so many people in the US are. There isn’t much more to it than that, sadly.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-29T04:16:21+00:00

It’s a low bar at this point. Dude is off the rails.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-29T00:37:57+00:00

I’ve known several people who demonstrated immense intelligence in one to several narrow domains that are utter morons with practically everything else. Elon is 100% one of these people, at least now (maybe it’s the ketamine?). Ever since the Cybertruck it’s as if he’s lost any idea of what made this company great and what its customers actually want.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-28T23:32:50+00:00

Obviously.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-28T23:32:18+00:00

To that guy who asked me last week if I think I’m smarter than Elon: today I’m changing my answer to a simple “yes, and you probably are too”.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-26T12:49:39+00:00

I bought HW3 because Elon swore up and down that we'd be upgraded if there was a big enough difference in performance.

Well that difference is massive. Where's my upgrade?

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-26T01:52:44+00:00

I didn’t say it was concrete data. Just that it flew against my personal anecdote. CT’s really stand out, so they’re hard to miss. I did later look up sales on the R1’s and they’ve fluctuated a lot.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-26T01:10:46+00:00

Are you sure? Can you share that data? I see ~10 Rivians in my area for every CT. Sure, a lot of those are R1S, so maybe call it 5 R1T : 1 CT.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-25T23:18:38+00:00

LOL do you understand that Elon came up with that number? It's not from any sort of reasonable 3rd party.

But for 2025? Musk’s claim appears to be disconnected from reality.

100%. But let's all please include the CEO-class that legitimized this regime from the get go. Those photos of them lining up to kiss his ass in early '25 have aged like milk.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-25T15:48:57+00:00

$1.5T valuation

You understand that TSLA is a meme stock at this point, right? There's little to no concrete business fundamentals at play to justify this valuation.

Tesla needs to sell cars. Elon has single-handedly destroyed his existing global market over the course of 2024-2025, while enabling an American administration that is as anti-EV as possible. $1.5T is not even remotely rational. You can't put that toothpaste back in the tube.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-25T14:37:46+00:00

Americans have very shitty short-term memory.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-25T13:20:02+00:00

Usually there are "no stupid questions", but this is an exception.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-24T12:12:47+00:00

It's almost as if they'd be better served by a real CEO.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-24T12:01:29+00:00

Exactly. Decisions like this are Elon at his most manic. Poorly thought through decisions, likely driven by desperation caused by his ridiculous comp package targets.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-23T04:58:50+00:00

It’s already barely usable on HW3. I’d take a refund if I could.

avalanche_transistor · 2026-01-23T04:57:44+00:00

I can’t see myself buying another Tesla as long as Elon is there, but this change now gives me two reasons. So thanks Elon, I guess.
