    When will Tesla cars be produced so that working people can afford them? At least provide people with an option to has a slow speed that is affordable to regular working people? You will still be rich even though lower wage earners are driving your cars.

      You have it backwards. It’s wages that are low, not prices that are high.

      This is the high end version car of the Tesla lot so the previous versions are the affordable ones.

      I think in the us it isn’t really that expensive. For example model 3, you save money on fuel and repair costs and its one of the very safest cars in the world. Just make your calculations..

      Tesla did plan on launching a hatchback model 2, We just have to till then

      @Vaughn Khouri Missing out, Toyota is making moves. But I doubt many ppl keep up with them cuz they’re the safe “boring” choice when it comes to cars. I guess ppl don’t like reliability and value.

      Actually the Tesla Model 3 is more affordable than a Toyota Camry already: , though the pay-back time may vary depending on the relative costs that you pay for gas vs electricity.
      I guess that in the US, like the UK, a lot of working class people have to pay rent, although it would be cheaper to buy a house if they could get a mortgage.

    He’s not wrong. On paper it even beats Bugatti. A little lame that it’s software limited to 200mph, but very very few people on the planet know what to do with a car above 200mph.

      Quick refers to acceleration not top speed

    • TheAstronomyDude

      @PhillyCheeseSteaks no shit Sherlock; update: Jay Leno confirmed it even beats Bugatti’s top speed; so get fucked Philly!

      Rimac?

    Rimac Nevara is the fastest electric car. Musk is an ego tripper who can’t admit he is not the best in something.

    • asjeot

      June 11, 2021 at 10:42 pm

      Maybe he was referring to a car you can actually buy and drive home, now…

    • the SURE

      June 11, 2021 at 10:43 pm

      Not to 60 mph/100 kph. How many are they going to build? What does it cost?
      150 (maybe). 2.4 before taxes or inflation.
      I am a fan of Rimac.

      He said production car, there are other cars much faster than the nevera but not counted as production cars, rimac calls it production so they can claim a record, but a limited run of 150 handmade cars doesn’t qualify as a true production car like the model S.

    • PhillyCheeseSteaks

      June 11, 2021 at 11:16 pm

      Rimac is not currently being sold. Your statement is wrong

    • Alejandro Romandiaz

      June 12, 2021 at 12:18 am

      Cost nearing 2.5 mil. Sure its an expensive toy but not the quickest production car, that would be the tesla. Try reading

      Seeing alot of success stories, he must be honest and trustworthy for people to talk this good about him

      I’m so happy for taking the bold step in working and investing $2000 with Mr Shane mason after a week I received $6468 to my bank

    Based on his previous track record he’s using the term “production” very loosely.

    Rimac was quicker already

The Case for AI Guardrails Without a Slowdown

AI is helping companies build faster, but as competition at the frontier intensifies, should there be limits on how much risk companies can take to stay ahead? Karen McCormick, chief investment officer at Beringea, argues the answer isn’t slowing innovation, but establishing common guardrails around testing, cybersecurity, and incident reporting.
