Anyone here interested in getting a Tesla Bot?

Can it clean the house?

My cats would probably bug out if they saw this thing moving and whirring around the house.

@jca2 The Tesla Bot has to be trained to do different tasks. But I understand that it can learn by watching. I worry that the Tesla Bot might step on the cat’s tails but like you said the cats would likely stay well clear of the Tesla Bot.

I won’t buy anything made by that man’s company. Ever.

I wonder if his auto sales will go down now that he’s under Trump’s wing.

The Tesla Cyber Truck was originally stated by Musk to cost a little above $39,000 . . . now it costs $100,000 to $120,000 !

Therefore $10K bot costs like $30k to $40k.

@janbb Well put, my friend. I wouldn’t send a single penny to that man, either directly or indirectly.

I will never own anything from Tesla.

Boston Scientific is the preferred and leader in this industry anyway. I believe in them.

I will never willingly give President Musk my money.

@jca2 I just saw a report this morning that his sales are down.

@Forever_Free I think you mean Boston Dynamics (https://bostondynamics.com/products/spot).

Yes Boston Dynamics robots are capable of doing incredible actions. But their two legged robots don’t have good hands and that limits their abilities. They’re only selling their dog “Spot” robot to the public at this time ($74,500 + tax and shipping). Too bad Spot is so expensive.

The Tesla Bot hands are very human-like in form and function and as such capable very complex movements. So human-like. I’d be happy to pay far more that $10K for a Tesla Bot as long as it can be trained to do a variety of simple tasks.

Thanks for all of your responses.

I think this kind of tech will be widely available and quite useful in specific applications. I also think the first generation of this kind of thing is going to be buggy to the point of being pretty useless except for very niche areas (where they might actually excel), and that it will take a few generations of products over perhaps a decade for the tech to mature and the cost to become more reasonable. By then, they’ll probably be quite good in some roles.

1. No nazi bots in my home.
2. When he “demonstrated” the bots last year, they were all remote controlled by actual humans.
3. His timelines are always a lie.

@gondwanalon Yes. Slip of the fingers and brain as I know people that work for both firms.

Hell no.
