arent tech events always a propaganda show of “what we want it to be” and not what it actually is?

He also said that it would result in an “age of abundance” where the cost of everything would drop dramatically.

This never, never, ever happens when they say it will happen. It’s always the opposite. Prices go up, jobs disappear, new subscriptions appear, etc.

It may or may not, you as a consumer will simply never see it. Any costs savings gets gobbled up.

Every conference/tech showcase is carefully staged to maximize investments.

Well, often times not Tesla.

This is still so weird to me. Couldn’t they even lie right? Use a plastic window just for that car. Apparently it doesn’t matter to tesla customers that the end product is shit.

I think the actual claim is that the truck in general is bulletproof (meaning the metal bits), not that every part of the truck is bulletproof. Here’s a video testing that claim, it is bulletproof for certain calibers, but not for larger calibers.

Question - assuming they are human controlled, how do these compare with bots created by competitors like Boston Dynamics?

They don’t. They are not competitors. This is not a product that exists as a real purchasable item. Those little robot dog toys are closer to BD than what Elon has done here.

Similar to the company who just dressed up models as robots for their presentation

I feel that almost certainly that is where Musk got the idea from, it worked for them, etc!
