Elon has confirmed the Tesla Roadster will be the last human operated Tesla. Tesla is a vastly different company than it was 5 years ago. Now all in on CyberCab, FSD, and robotics.

Impressive. I am stunned. Musk plays in another league. Judging boosters and height the demo car is probably made up of superlight materials, carbon something.

It will be ideal for those living in retirement communities. Another option for getting around, or in this case over, those golf carts.

More for rich returnees
$200,000 apiece is not cheap. The operation cost for pressured gas tanks is gigantic.
I think it’s a matter of months then the Chinese and others, hopefully Vietnam will copy. We can make cheaper.

71-year-old pedestrian killed by self-driving Tesla crossing I-80 in Vallejo: CHP​

VALLEJO, Calif. -- A 71-year-old man was killed early Thursday morning after he was struck by a self-driving car as he was crossing Interstate Highway 80 in Vallejo, the California Highway Patrol said.

According to the CHP's Solano-area office, officers were alerted to a collision reported around 2:35 a.m. on westbound I-80 at the I-780 interchange. When they arrived, first responders found the severely injured pedestrian, who was later declared dead.

The driver of the involved vehicle, a 26-year-old San Francisco man, stayed at the scene and told CHP officers that his vehicle, a Tesla, was being operated in Full Self-Driving autonomous mode when it hit the pedestrian.

According to the CHP, the Tesla had full footage of the crash since it was recorded by the vehicle's dashcam. Based on the video, the Tesla was traveling around 70 mph when the pedestrian entered the freeway. He began crossing toward the center divider from the right shoulder, placing him directly in front of the Tesla.

"The video showed the Tesla's brakes being applied as the vehicle steered to the left in an effort to avoid the pedestrian. Despite these evasive actions, the right front portion of the Tesla struck the individual," the CHP said in a statement on social media.

The agency said the 71-year-old was again struck by at least one more vehicle while lying in the traffic lanes, adding that no other vehicles stopped to cooperate with authorities. The other involved vehicle or driver is yet to be identified.

"The Solano Area CHP extends its deepest condolences to the family and friends of the deceased during this difficult time," the agency said.

Anyone who may have witnessed the crash or who has information regarding the other vehicles involved is encouraged to contact the CHP Solano-area office at 707-639-5600.

71 year old man crossing the highway at 2:30 am and gets killed by a car.

This is the 3rd death with millions of FSD driving miles (and oddly a repeat situation)

Death 1:
(November 2023) fatal crash in Rimrock, Arizona, where a 71-year-old grandmother named Johna Story was struck and killed by a Tesla Model Y utilizing Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode while she was walking across a highway after stopping for an accident.

Death 2:
(April 2024): 28-year-old Jeffrey Nissen was killed in Maltby, Washington, when a Model S on FSD failed to brake for slowed traffic in an HOV lane at 3:45 PM in the afternoon and hit his motorcycle

Announced on the radio today. Tesla announces they are ending production of the Cybertruck due to weak sales.

I'm not surprised. It is more of a novelty than an actual truck.

We see this cht all the time here in SoCal. About 95% of """pedestrians"" (they shouldn't be called that since it is a non-pedestrian road!) killed are the homeless/users and remaining 5% are the drunks who slam into the center divider and walk towards the shoulder with their phone on their face. And yes I pulled those stats out of my a$$ but I stand by them!
