Elon predicted that Tesla Bot will cost $20,000.

That's.... Nothing. Even if he's wrong and it's 2x that, $40,000 for a worker which doesn't quit, unionize, or take breaks is an obvious choice.

Elon said we'd have fully autonomous cars today, he said the window on his truck wouldn't break, he said underground tunnels for cars was better than metro, and showed his dick to an employee who didn't request it.

Fuck what Elon says

Elon Musk is a genius at self-promoting and and idiot at most else.

The Boston Dynamics robot cost 74k USD, so they seem to be priced at a range that would put manual laborers at serious threat of losing their jobs, if they become dexterous enought.

is 'dexterous enough' (esp for the tesla bot) a product of software or are they still needing to improve performance on the linear actuators / pneumatic system to be able to run the corrections fast enough?
