As I look at electronics with weakening batteries, I wonder when they would be better with bulkier lithium iron phosphate batteries — 40% less energy density, but 10x the lifetime. Not much demand for ten year lifespan consumer electronics.

Similarly high cycle life with nickel cathode is possible if optimizing for that.
Adding silicon to (primarily carbon) anode, which improves energy density, reduces cycle life, due to large volumetric changes during charge/discharge.

I don’t think external pressure on parents is the issue so much. Most peers of mine who don’t have kids are hesitant or unwilling to make the lifestyle sacrifices necessary for being a good parent.

That, plus pessimism about the future / false overpopulation fears

Are people too pessimistic about the future, thus having less kids? Is part of the solution inspiring people to become more optimistic about the future?

Population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming

Is having kids the only solution? I think there needs to be a ton of Education on this issue.

Starlink V2, launching next year, will transmit direct to mobile phones, eliminating dead zones worldwide
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 26, 2022
Note, connectivity will be 2 to 4 Mbits per cell zone, so will work great for texting & voice calls, but not high bandwidth

#fsdbeta 10.69 stops at no turn on red along with a super complex short left turn. Pretty amazing to see what this can handle. @elonmusk

@elonmusk · Aug 25, 2022
10.69.1 releases Monday night. 10.69.2 about a week or so later – this will be the wide beta version.

Ron Barron: I love $TSLA; Made about 20x our money; I think we’re going to make 3-5x our money again over the next 10 years. Over the next 10 years I think Tesla is going to be largest company in the world, & 10 years after that I think it’ll be challenged by @SpaceX. @elonmusk

Okay, it's not that you minded the criticism of that very early version that James asked for, but the public channel used to send the complaint.
For the record, I know that James loves Tesla and that he was, through his criticism, trying to help as best he could.
Love y'all.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 24, 2022
I do not doubt that. Criticism, public or private, is welcome after we go to wide beta.
Early beta has many known issues. The reason we release it to a limited number of cars is to discover unknown issues.

Sometimes I snap at people when I try my best and they’re not appreciating what I do. I also understand the context of the fraudulent attacks on FSD. Is this what happened here?
Elon, please apologize to Jame: he cares more about Tesla than 99.9% of your followers. 😍❤️❤️
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 24, 2022
No. Let me make something clear: James contacted me directly to be included in *early* beta, which is only ~1000 cars, mostly employees.
Early beta explicitly has issues or it would be rolled out widely, so publicly criticizing something he had asked for is wrong.
