Enriquo – About 6 months in, and I will just say this, I prefer it significantly to the R1S (not even close.) It is slated to get FSD this month, and then it will be in a different category. FSD on the old Model S was able to drive to and from the studio without intervention.

The nice thing is that with so many people having them now, and many customizing them, I am not spending as much time talking about it and it feels more like a normal truck from that perspective.

Most of the bad press is from folks that want to see it do poorly. Even driving a Lucid Air or our Rivian feels like stepping back in time. I had the chance to drive the F150 Lightning recently, and it felt like driving something a decade old.

You mentioned a lot of stares early on but at this point, and with all the bad press on both the quality of the vehicle and its CEO, its more like seeing an Aztek or PT Cruiser these days.

Would likely have to move to a proprietary setup with processor+memory slot daughter cards to make things fit into a standard 19″ wide rack chassis. This would also be straight forward means of scaling upward between dual, quad, and octo systems. At the high end using 512 GB DIMMs, that’d be 96 TB of main memory before factoring any additional CLX 2.0 attached memory. Figure another 4 slots per 16 CLX 2.0 lanes per socket, equates to another 64 TB of additional memory for 160 TB in a single system image. That’d comfortably house many databases in-memory though I question how many would be able to justify the expense of running such a system at such a configuration. Then again, the hardware is still inexpensive compared to what the software licensing would be.
