Conversation at investors lunch: will rapid reusability be to SpaceX what autonomy has been for Tesla? Will the last 10% take 10 years? By that time: strong competition, lost moat & minimal value capture.

I wonder if we'll see the people who protest outside Tesla showrooms take their virtue-signalling to BYD? This WAPO article details BYD's slavery and human trafficking practices in Brazil, eventually agreeing on a $7.5m settlement with exploited workers. archive.is/rGO9d @TeslaAUNZ

A very smart colleague of mine (who doesn't use social media) has just made two excellent suggestions regarding the likely Royal Commission into the tragic events at Bondi Beach: 1. It should be led by former deputy commissioner of NSW Police, Nick Kaldas, and 2. It should be called the Matilda Royal Commission. #bondibeach @AlboMP @nswpolice

Spotted this am: Tesla model Y with Lidar on the roof driving around the World Square car park, Sydney CBD. Validation for v14.x? Robotaxi soon? (Sorry, it disappeared before I could take a video) @TeslaAUNZ @elonmusk @ryanjaycowan @SawyerMerritt @wholemars

I'm sorry to report that we won't be renewing our FSD subscription. Here in Australia, we're on v13.2.9. We're using it on my wife's new 2025 Model Y RWD. The system is safe, but it makes too many navigation errors to be useful. On the 10 trips I've taken in the last few days, there's been a navigation error on every trip. In almost every case, it's caused by FSD not selecting the correct lane before making a turn. While some people (like me) will tolerate that, 95% of people won't, such as my wife. So, we'll wait until v14 is available in Australia before considering renewing the subscription. @TeslaAUNZ

A follow up: today, using FSD v13.2.9, I had to intervene for a safety critical incident - the first I've experienced. The disturbing part about it was that the safety critical situation - going through an orange light when another car is turning right on orange across the intersection - is such a common event it probably happens every minute of every day somewhere in Australia. This has really shaken my confidence in FSD. V14 needs to be significantly better (like 100x) otherwise ... well, I don't think FSD is ready for RHD. @TeslaAUNZ @Tesla

Watching the press conferences of both Luke Donald and Keegan Bradley, the gulf in leadership capability is clear. It's like the difference between a successful CEO and the middle mgmt guy trying to do a job he's not capable of. I feel sorry for Bradley. He's out of his depth. #RyderCup2025

#RyderCup I like the focus of Morikawa & English as they met Fleetwood Mac - no smiles, all business. I'm tipping an upset that starts the tide turning for the US.

Lions' defence impenetrable. Wobblies no answers. Predicting an intercept try to the Lions from on their line.

Again, 10 phases from the Wobblies and zero metres gained. Lions out-muscling and outclassing their opponents. After losing tonight, the Wobblies will need to find some way to win the collisions otherwise they may as well not bother turning up.

Lions 17-5. They will hit their stride in the 2H and demolish the Wobblies. Lions by 30.
