$2.2k for standard edition. same harness as comma two.

>$2.2k for standard edition. same harness as comma two. I'm still on an EON from 2018 so I'll need the new harness, which makes it $2400 for the base model. Really hard to justify the price of a loaded Macbook until they have navigation integrated with lane change and highway exits. I'm honestly glad that they went all in and finally did a custom piece of hardware, but I think they could have cut $500 on the price by…

It is a bit pricey. If that opinion on the price ends up being the consumer norm they will have to lower the price eventually.

If you drive allot 2400 usd could be worth it. With that said I am not sure that sales will go down due to the price.

You'd be right, except IIRC Comma hasn't gotten anyone killed because of (at best) misunderstood advertising (or seeing a barrier as a road, etc.).

The experience of learning about Comma, buying a dev kit, downloading a separate software package, flashing it to the device, wiring it up to your car, etc. (vs. just having it there on your Tesla, and everyone's heard of Tesla) is the source of massive selection bias. If you're competent enough to get Comma running, you're probably technical enough (and invested enough!) to read the instructions and understand the o…

If that’s a “pseudo nerd”, who qualifies as a “real nerd”?" If you don't code for 30 years, people might not call you a coder anymore. Hotz on the other-hand still regular live-streams himself programming and hacking.

If anyone has to have the coding chops of Hotz to be called a nerd then we probably have only 50 nerds in the world. Y’all can definitely log off of HACKER NEWS since the news is definitely not for you!

It's not called Nerd News.

My £200 phone has an OLED so I can't imagine they'd save all that much by switching out the screen.

It is weird that the general opinion of Comma on HN appears to be positive while the general opinion of Tesla's Autopilot on here is generally more negative. It seems to me that all the complaints about Tesla including marketing, safety, and technological feasibility apply as much or more for Comma.

I agree that Comma deserves much of the same scrutiny, but it’s not that weird that HN gives them more credit than Tesla. Comma is the hacker, open-source, upstart player in self driving space.

Expectation management and effort to implement in your car as well. Buying a 7k "full self driving option" that's seamlessly integrated from the factory vs having to hack into your wiring to install a glorified phone.

I once had a chance to go to George's house for a party, and all I can say is I was totally floored. I don't think I've ever been around a group of people who were so smart and just cool in my life. When I left a part of me really wished that I had somehow met a group of people like this in college or something. Just really smart, cool people, and most of all good. Everyone there was a genuine, mission driven person…

I once got a recruiting e-mail from comma.ai and the tone was very much acting like obviously I want to work for George Hotz and I'm so lucky he's willing to chat with me so what time should we schedule the meeting? I'd never heard of him nor the company and it all seemed very pretentious. They also sent it to my work address, which is not exactly classy. To be fair, it was probably a bad recruiter, not George's faul…

This kind of crap is exactly why we stopped using recruiters. I hate e-mails like that too, and they aren't even effective.

Tesla has over promised and under delivered so far. Comma has done the opposite. The Tesla beta software seems to be rapidly improving, so I've got my fingers crossed that Tesla pulls through in the end and manages to deliver something that lives up to the hype they have created themselves, but they have really dug their own hole at this point in time.

They just released a $100/mo. subscription for the FSD features, but I think the more advanced FSD that supposedly can handle city streets has an additional feature flag that’s gated on your safety record or something.

$199/mo actually, unless you know of a deal.

I just confirmed in the app that it’s $99/mo for my 2020 3 LR AWD with the Enhanced Autopilot upgrade.
