Yesterday evening, Tesla reported first-quarter earnings for 2025, and they were abysmal: Profits dropped 71% from the same time last year.
Musk sounded bitter on the call with investors that followed, blaming the company’s misfortune on protesters who have raged at Tesla dealerships around the world over his role running DOGE and his ardent support of far-right politicians.
“The protests that you’ll see out there, they’re very organized. They’re paid for,” he said, without evidence.
That’s not really saying its wanting, it’s just saying it’s limitations.
The model they’ve created can’t process those extra things. It still performed very well in their early testing.
Edit: on mobile now (was on desktop) but the article linking to the source said it was out performing other systems, but they didn’t specifically test it against the waymo production system. It also said it would be difficult to feed other sources into it as it’s more complicated than images.
