   I'm not convinced Tesla's schizophrenic strategy is any worse than the strategy of the legacy American automakers, which is to sleepwalk directly into a volcano (when Chinese EV manufactures break into the market with $10k SUVs)

      Won't the US government just keep raising tariffs to 'protect' America from those evil Chinese manufacturers?

      In any case, just because the legacy incumbents might also be incompetent, doesn't excuse Tesla.

         I'm not going to defend the Cybertruck execution, clearly they misjudged the demand.

         But Optimus is a fair play. Don't grub for scraps in an efficient competitive market. Make a new market, go big or go home.

            Works until you run out of money. I work in AI robotics. Yes, it’s promising. No, nobody is deploying anything remotely useful for a while.

               It would be so lame to work in non-AI robotics…

                  I disagree, there’s a lot of fascinating problems in pure robotics.
