Tesla are near the bottom of the pile in AI. That unfortunately is fact, and this is a pro tesla fan site. Cruise, Waymmo, etc all ahead of them

hxxps://www.teslarati.com/tesla-self-driving-race-navigant-results-2019/

in 2019 Tesla drove 12.2 miles in autonomous testing and that is it as they admitted it in the recent mkt releases

Hence all the crashes Tesla are having in AP mode and with Summon

We now have the added bonus of Chinese lawsuits because Tesla lied to customers by installing HW2.5 instead of 3.

And the solar city lawsuits, and the thousands of other lawsuits

Good luck if you buy and hold it for the long term as it doesn't have a long term future at these prices

As for RBS, I am going with index longs rather than single stock longs for now

Dope - I dont think you are reading ALL the press. COmments like being behind comp are ridiculous - TESLA aer the world leaders in AI. DO more research. Thye have gathered way more data from self drive and assisted or simply having the AI in their cars for years - way way ahead of anyone else. Tesla are a technology compay who also make cars
Anyway, RBS also look cheap - buy them and put away or get greedy and expect further falls = everyone trying to figure the bottom.
The pess and WEAK global leadership not helping.

cfc1 Regards Tesla. Q1 sales are a complete mess. MOdel Y is as bad on quality as the rest. Autopilot is dangerous and way behind competition in autonomous driving. Did you read the recent NTSB report on the fatal crash in California? They absolutely lambasted Tesla on all levels

Just started nibbling at FTSE longs, especially with recent news on vaccines

New research suggests that the virus can persist in the air for about three hours and remain on some surfaces, like plastic and stainless steel, for up to two to three days. The timing seems to depend on the specific material, with shorter detection periods on cardboard (up to 24 hours) and copper (up to four hours).

Door handles, money, taps, traxi's cinema, pubs, your doctors surgery, work place, restaurants, shops rtc.

Can I become infected when taking public transportation?
As mentioned above, the virus’ effect on surfaces, including stainless steel poles and plastic or fabric seats, is still unclear. However, it can definitely spread through droplets from the nose or mouth so standing on a packed train during rush hour could therefore pose a risk, particularly on longer commutes: Close contact (less than 6 feet apart) for at least 15 minutes with an infected person likely spreads COVID-19.


And its only just begun, I isn't that a song.

This is interesting if you scroll down to the chart

the lowest I've ever seen this share was equiv to 70p at the time it was 7p before the 10 for 1 date, so it might be back to those times again, don't think we have to worry about the government selling there shares now, could end up with a takeover bid though.
so this pandemic is going to be drawn out, you can also get reinfected with this virus





so this might not be a one time hit but a reoccurring hit and we are prolonging the time its around.

[delphiman] 16/3/2020 09:23

But since you have just shown your mind set, I'll filter you so this channel doesn't become silly again.
That way I can ensure the filter stays on.

[delphiman] 16/3/2020 09:21

lol

"oh here you go again Delfiboy"

you might have a mind set of that, I was just asking the question and seeing if your filter was still working.

[cfc1] 16/3/2020 09:12

oh here you go again Delfiboy....actually it was pre xmas and we hadnt ahd this new 'thing' to deal with! If you also read I tipped TESLA at $448 then and bught that having got irritated by RBS share price ...right now I am hovering on buying back in - ITS CHEAP but this global BS leadership and reaction makes me think where is the bottom.
Knockon effect to business we wont know for 3-6months

[delphiman] 16/3/2020 09:08

cfc1 wasnt you saying £3.60 here we come 8 weeks ago ?

[smurfy2001] 16/3/2020 08:37

11p old money. Look at Lloyds wow.

No one knows if the south Korea or China method has worked. We know it has been paused but unless they lock out international travel for the rest of eternity they are all rife for a "coming right back at you" event.
It is harder to plan long term but it is the right thing to do.

Bang on. 100%

As even Trump is giving daily press briefings, including two over this weekend, surely Boris has to come out of his self-imposed isolation, and man up over the disarray in the Govt's strategy.

If the leaked NHS briefing document published in the Guardian is correct Govt believes that over the next 12 months as many as 80% of the population could be infected. A mortality rate of 1% (it is 0.1% for flu) would on that percentage mean 440K deaths.

The problem is that the Govt simply has no answer to the myriad of questions currently being bowled at it, which include:

1) Why is the UK not following the WHO's advise and the highly successful model set by South Korea to reduce the scale of the epidemic?

2) Why is the NHS running out of equipment to test (apparently there is not even sufficient to test those in the NHS frontline)?

3) The USA is advising those aged over 65 to isolate themselves. Why is the UK only recommending that those aged 70+ do so?

4. Covid-19 complications for the elderly include pneumonia. As a matter of good medical practice, the NHS advises that all those aged 65+ should have the pneumococcal vaccine.



One leading US expert on immunology advises that the risk of pneumonia following Covid-19 infection, especially amongst the elderly, can be reduced by this vaccine.

Why are the British public not being advised to get vaccinated?

5. Why is advise not being given on how to improve immunity? After a long winter vitamin D levels will be low. The medics know that vitamin D helps combat viral tract infections.

6. Why is the current advise limited to washing one's hands and sucking it at home for 7 days if one has a cough and a temperature?

What is a "registered public health consultant" ?
