Tell me you’ve never traveled without telling me you’ve never traveled. I want to SF and LA myself dipshit, you see crackheads, trash and poop downtown everywhere

There also isn’t a great used market for Teslas because they have a poor reputation and last I read run weeks behind for certain repairs, so I’d be wary of losing my car for weeks if I got in an accident or something broke. This also actually matters because new car buyers care about the resale value, and I don’t know how that market will look long term, but I know these cars seem to depreciate faster than the average car. The fact the ceo retweets Nazis and fascists hasn’t been great for their customer base lol, I live in the SF Bay Area and people are buying other EV’s right now because they can afford some of the different options and this dude is embarrassing. Plus there’s so many Teslas from previous years it doesn’t stand out as wealthy or successful to drive a Tesla and people care about those perceptions. Not to stereotype but successful Indians and Chinese immigrants seem to be driving these cars in my area and they’ve kind of lost the average white buyer because who wants to be associated with Elon and buy his products. It’s like trying to buy a Volkswagen in 1938 or something lol. My roommate was a huge Tesla and Musk fan and owns a model 3, but he’s much less excited about it and it’s technology after owning it and seeing the owner publicly defend Nazis and promote great replacement theories, so he doesn’t brag or talk about his car to people like he used to because the conversation often turns to the racist ceo and that’s awkward depending on the person.

I can't wait to go long on Elon's bottom when he's homeless living in the streets of SF after Tesla goes bankrupt

That seems very reductionistic. Have you ever tried using Full self driving before? Have you ever sat in a fully self driven car ? I understand people’s skepticism but the current tech is leaps ahead of the competition given what it can do. Additionally this is not an e-commerce site that any person on the road can copy it by just being clever. Machine learning is not child’s play. The work / setup Tesla has for its ML is decades ahead of the competition. Even if someone manages to copy it, they still don’t have the data advantage that Tesla lives with. On accidents: Yes there will be accidents, it is just not possible to launch something like this without accidents. other auto manufacturers don’t even have the same level of capabilities ( try making the car drive itself on the streets of SF) and I can gaurentee you when they reach the level Tesla is at, then they will have even more accidents. Additionally accidents are not growing at an alarming rate. If accidents are a reason for Tesla being a bad company then people should never board a Boeing plane since they have had way more casualties than Tesla cars.

Is it possible to do a tenancy-in-common (TIC) instead of an HOA? That’s quite common in the SF Bay Area.

tldrthestoryofmylife

I've got a chip on my shoulder about people acting as if everything's fine and I'm the one who needs to go touch grass or something... Go to NYC, Chigago, SF, or whatever metropolis is near you, have a sandwich and coffee, and come back and tell me how the experience was... I'm near NY, and over here there are literal gangs shooting up heroin outside of elementary schools... Not to mention people coming into grocery stores, emptying the shelves into XL-size trash bags, and walking out without paying, all while making eye contact with the police officer standing outside Honestly, this is the wrong sub, b/c my problem is bigger than the stock market at this point... I don't care which side of the political aisle y'all are on, but we're arguing about whether or not the government is doing the right thing when the government is basically absent/nonexistent... They literally walked out and stopped governing at some point, and everyone who's still there is drunk at the wheel.

Quite a few but I live in the SF Bay Area. There is still quite a backing of unfulfilled orders with production being the limiting factor from what I've seen in the forums and boards of people anxiously waiting for delivery. Just wondering why you felt there was no demand. Thanks for answering honestly.

I don't have a horse in this race (yet) but if tesla was so close to robotaxi they should have level 3 capability on freeways by now (like bmw) taking on the legal responsibility. Did they even remove beta from the fsd? And doesn't waymo already do robotaxis in SF?

CuckWuEggWua

How relevant to the conversation at hand. But I can still go on for days. Starting with oh idk SF-86 breach giving up all my and hundreds of thousands of others most intimate personal information up to Chinese without basic encryption even. But that isn’t what we’re talking about now is it.

IllUpvoteEverything

I bought my home where the average salary is 2.5x the US median household income that isn't SF. Even our Walmart is nice.

circleregenerated

I mean that was true, but the media greatly exaggerates SF’s problems. I live in SF and while it does have its issues, it’s a beautiful city with amazing nature, food, architecture, culture, job opportunities, etc.

circleregenerated

Not really. SF is a world class city in a high-population metro while the home in Greece is a vacation home. It makes sense that there’s a lot more demand for the SF home

The_Bit_Prospector

all reasonable points but electric robotaxis are already on the road in SF and Arizona. Of course, as soon as they go broader the incidents will mount and there have already been some decently-high profile incidents with the existing cars.

To tell you the truth, from 1959 to 1968, the minimum commission it required on orders under $400 stood at **$3 per 100 shares plus 2% of the amount traded** (subject to a $6 minimum). That was substantial. As recent as late 1990s it costed $180 fee with maximum discount to get advice and advisor placed an order. The lowest price brokerage was Schwab asked for $35 in the later 1980s. One had to call into SF office long distance with a long waiting time. The phone bill was several dollars put one on hold, and on hold. Not long ago, with internet dial up or dsl a trade cost $14.99 a trade. Only \~50% Americans owned stocks in 2000. Investors read news from Wall Street Journal next day. However, Treasury saving bonds and saving account were very popular. It paid 4-5% and after 25 years the law of compound interest added up quickly. Unless one worked for a small company privately owned, most companies had a pension program contributed by corporation. If one worked at one of these large companies for over 15 years, chances you can count to stay there until retirement. They did not lay "lifer" employees off before retirement, unless the employees messed things up. People by choice did not move around like today. With a shorter life expectancy of living to 70. Most retirees had just have a few years of retirement life. Modern people have to save more because many are washed out very early on and live longer.

PuffyPanda200

I personally wonder if at some point the interest rate hikes actually hurt the inflation number for rents: If interest rates are high enough to scare off new home builders but not high enough to result in sufficiently decreased job growth in the mega cities then you end up with a higher [jobs-to-housing ratio](https://housing.wiki/wiki/Jobs-Housing_Balance) (JtH ratio, I made up this acronym). The general accepted number for a good JtH ratio is around 1.5 from what I have read. You could argue for up to 2 and down to 1.1. Some people move out of an area so if you have a ratio of 1 then you have too much housing. If an area is large and doesn't have that much job growth then 2 might be OK because older people move out and the such. The SF Bay area in total [is at 4.3](https://www.biabayarea.org/san-francisco-bay-area-jobs-housing-imbalance#:~:text=The%20Bay%20Area%20since%202011,%2DHousing%20'Balance'%20chart.), [LA is 4.7, and San Diego is 3.9](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_housing_shortage#Ratio_of_residents_and_jobs_to_housing_units). with these kind of numbers the price for housing just has to go up. If you limit to more city center type areas then the numbers get even higher like 6+ in SF.

Buddy I go to TNS warehouses that are 2-3 million SF.... I also am a contractor that is "high enough on the totem pole" to work with operations engineering and sr.ops so I know far more about these topics than you really think. Also been doing it for years and been to dozens of locations usually on 2-8 week projects. Amazon pays their workers between 15-20 and hour so unless you are paying people pennies you really are out of touch dude. Most employees who have been there for like 3 years make like $24 unless they have a job that requires a degree. They also aren't safer or cleaner??? My company works with other companies other than Amazon and usually their warehouses are almost the same? Amazon has injuries at some locations daily I have literally sat in their morning meetings and heard the briefs? And if you think a bunch of people that can reapply after they are fired in 90 days keeps a warehouse clean then idk man, those places truly are disgusting most of the time. But there are some clean ones I will admit that.

mooky1977

There is only one as far as I know, and it was in the SF bay area, owned By Simone Giertz of YouTube fame (shitty robots) She's since moved to the LA area, and done a second video where they took her "roughed prototype" Tesla truck, and refined it further.

Google operates robotaxis in SF, and they lose a ton of money doing so. Very bearish, especially paired with putting Model 2 on backburner

AdamJensensCoat

I ride in the SF bay area and used to see a fair amount of GoPros and action cams. It’s really fizzed out. Our market is a year round playground for road and mountain cycling, high discretionary income. If it is anywhere, it’s here. And I just don’t see much. The casuals drove sales. I see them using phones on handlebars mounts and selfie sticks now. The garden variety smartphone now shoots in 4K. There’s just no need for another device to accomplish the same thing unless you’re doing something specialized.

From what I was calculating it comes out to around $16K per month after tax. There are some nice 2 bedrooms in downtown SF for around 4-5K a month. That gives me $10 grand or so a month for 0dtes. Of course I always tip well I have class.

Raped_Bicycle_612

I take driverless taxis all the time in SF. They’re pretty common. Tesla is dog shit tho, I don’t support them entering that market

NUNCHUCKS1

They use lidar - and they are still remote controlled in many situations. Doing it without lidar is possible I just think the timeframe is way longer than ppl want to believe. After it works perfectly - then there's the regulatory hurdles. People in SF hate Waymo cars because they just stop in the middle of the road all the time and wait for an employee to tmrw more control it. It's not all working smoothly.

dmatje

Waymo already doing it in a few cities, SF for over a year now and expanding to the entire Bay Area. The real struggle is the permitting and elong gonna be way behind while waymo keeps taking up market share.

Cruise worked better than FSD and still got banned. And that's in SF. Imagine across the US. EVs are still not mainstream, people are not going to be comfortable getting in that. Plus it's all about regulations, biden and trump are both against elon

guerillasgrip

That's only in 2 markets in one state. Texas always gets over built during real estate booms because of how easy the entitlement process is there. Just go back and look at how bad things got during the s&l crisis. Dallas industrial vacancy is 8.1%. in 2010 it was 11.5%. and it shot up because there was 11.5 million SF delivered whereas the previous year was only 8m and historically it was more like 6m.

CapeMOGuy

I am afraid the (C19 accelerated) WFH revolution has doomed CRE in large cities. And many companies are stuck with leases or ownership of unused space. And if employees don't come, public transit, businesses (restaurants, stores, pharmacies etc.) nearby suffer. And there is the urban doom loop. Seems to have appeared in SF already. Coming soon to a big city near you. Especially since wireless internet or Starlink cover just about the whole population, even rural WFH could grow. An aside, fed rates are a signal and a benchmark, but do not set business or mortgage loan rates. Those rates have fluctuated in the time the fed funds rate has remained constant. Expectations are key. Well, that and creditworthiness.

Unfortunately I live in the SF Bay Area so this is at most 1/3 of a house down payment but yes, a big W for button pressing

_hiddenscout

Will be interesting to see the final numbers. I mean it's probably in reality less than 25%, since most fast food places seem to be paying more than the state minimum wage anyways. Also minimum wage is higher in some parts of the state, like in SF area, it's already up to 18.67 for all workers this year.

PlayerPlayer69

You’re nitpicking at small details. It’s a big picture thing. It looks like I’m generalizing an entire state based on its most expensive cities, but if you look at the proportion of people who live in the big cities, compared to not, it’s the more relevant statistic that is more closely aligned with reality. You’re asking me not to over generalize states like California or New York, as high cost of living states, when there are people outside of SF, SJ, LA, or NYC/Manhattan that make and survive on way less. But you want me to ignore the fact that those cities are more populated than those lower cost of living regions within the state? I over generalize because like I said, these highly populated towns and cities are located on costal states. Costal states that are generally expensive because most of the population flock to these metropolitan and urban environments for better job prospects, better weather, more lively social scene, whatever. Michigan is a great example. Yes there are some houses that go for as low as $100-200k a year, but how many people live in that region, compared to say, Boston, which *does* require a 6-figure income to comfortably live in? And in those less densely populated regions, where houses are relatively cheap, what’s the average minimum wage like? $8-10/ hour? Making around $20-30,000 a year before taxes, in a place where houses are $100-200,000, is the same as living in a high cost of living region that has $1,000,000 homes, and the average minimum wage is $20-$25/hour, totaling to about $40-50,000/year. The big picture point: The places that are more affluent with job prospects, better weather, and bustling with people in general, is where most of the country lives. You can’t deny that. And most of the people who live in these favorable places, the average joes, aren’t making enough to comfortably live there. Which is why a lot of people are “living paycheck to paycheck,” even though there is evidence to suggest that the American people are making a lot of money than people think. Even though there is evidence to suggest that the average American is making more money than people thought, they forget to consider the fact that the cost-of-living for the average joe is increasing faster than their salaries.

It is expensive but if you are mandated to be able to pull useable information from massive volumes of unstructured data SF is one of the big boys in the market and it apparently works amazing once in olace.

Back in the early to mi- late 2000’s we were doing alright. my wife stayed home to do most of the child rearing while I went to work but $h1t went south. Living in the SF Bay Area we were hit by the ‘08 recession, I lost my job, our home (over 100k down and still had to short), my 401k got a job offer clear across the state (like 600 miles) to West LA worked a year, got laid off again, then got a job at 50% of what I was used to making. Did I mention we have kids? Yeah, lost their college fund. My daughter was in the middle of 8the grad son was in the middle of 5th grade. Not the best time for this to happen. In any case, we tried to do everything “right” but as others have said the game is stacked against us. We were up against lenders giving out NINJA loans to people that had no way to pay, mortgage backed securities and the economy tanked. We never stood a chance. I was in my late 39’s early 40’s then, 50’s now We are still recovering which is why I’m here to learn as much as I can. Not sure what stage of life you’re in but I was taking to a guy that’s a bit older than me and were taking about my son wanting to get into real estate and flipping homes. He’s a firefighter and has the extra time. His advice not my son was DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THE ZERO’s. Make the mistakes early on and move forward. The point in me going in like this is that take risks while you’re young, something will pan out. The bigger the risk the bigger the reward! But even if you’re a schmuck like me you will be OK but now the risks have to be more “calculated”. I wish I wasn’t afraid of the zero’s earlier on. As you can see even if you play it safe you can still lost it all. The game is rigged but DO NOT GIVE UP. Learn and move on!

dine-and-dasha

Well FSD is irrelevant for you then because CPUC hasn’t approved any company to operate L3 or L4 outside of SF. By June, Waymo is expected to expand to peninsula just short of South Bay. My point was Waymo is far, far more impressive than FSD and unlikely to work as well in the near future. It’s not cutting edge, I’m not sure it’s even in second place. Even if it were, I just don’t see how much more they can charge or how much uptake they will have at the current price. They could run a robotaxi fleet, but again, I don’t know how profitable that venture is. >it’s slow for my taste That’s a business decision they made so human drivers don’t organize against them politically. If there were multiple operators with one of them driving faster and more aggressively, it would create an arms race and regulatory bodies would regulate SDV aggressiveness.

PossibleHot5786

I have in SF. It’s slow for my test. Also I live in east Bay Area which is 1 hour 30 minutes away from SF. What’s the use of that to me?

qchamp34

Whether its government approved FSD or not, I don't feel like they're getting credit they deserve for autonomous. There's plenty of raw footage on youtube of trips like SF to LA completely unnassisted.

PossibleHot5786

Huh. Child demanding his cookies is all I see from your post. You are an SWE? Don’t you know each features release actually gathers data for analysis for the next feature release? Btw, Waymo has been around for many years and still can’t get out of SF. And I’m not excusing Elon for messed up timelines. But I’m not daft to not understand the incredibly complicated background neural network work being done behind the scenes. Surely being an SWE, you should be able to relate to that and not just parrot same old Tesla hater Internet headlines

Curious_me_too

Most existing Tesla owners know that FSD is just the standard lane following cruise control with lane change feature thats available in lots of cars now ( lexus, benz .. ) And if you get fully autonomous driving, why would anyone want to own an autonomous car, when autonomous taxis will be much cheaper, available anytime much more than taxis today and won't have the maintenance and cost depreciation of a car. This is why the real FSD companies (Waymo, Cruise) with real level 4+ autonomous cars are all running taxis, not selling cars. Further implementing real level 4+ autonomous vehicle requires huge effort and mapping of local roads and terrains ( Waymo took years to add SF and LA for their autonomous/FSD taxis and it still doesn't cover the whole of the city). Tesla will never implement a full FSD, because it will kill their car market. They just want to keep the illusion of a future FSD and sell a 12k FSD vaporware.

Echo-Possible

I think L4 and L5 will happen. Waymo already has L4 approval in many cities (Austin, LA, SF, Phoenix). I don't think L4/L5 will happen with the vehicles Tesla is selling today because they don't have the redundancy in safety critical hardware required to operate as fully autonomous vehicles without drivers.

I'm so confused how people afford to live in LA. The houses are like $1 million minimum (probably more) but there's not exactly a ton of high paying tech jobs like SF or finance jobs like NY, so what the fuck do all these people do? It's not like they can all be from old money

Investors and builders got greedy and now are sitting on unfinished builds, and unstarted builds on empty lots. Not as many people are moving now. The commercial real estate threat is not just from empty offices in NY and SF. It’s also in residential in these areas that over built. Can’t raise the rent if no one is there to pay the bill. Haven’t even brought up the saturated air bnb market yet. It’s all very bubbly

I've done more thinking, and I have a couple of guesses. Again, these aren't jabs, they're just thoughts. * You either have a masters in finance or a CFA * You have the arrogance of someone who thinks finance should operate in a specific way, but you lack the humility of a doctorate or someone like Damodaran * You've never worked in an investment bank * Potentially IM/RIA, but definitely not anything tied to capital markets or an actual trade desk * It's not clear that you do work in finance but if you do you're in the back office * You live in a non-metro city - NY, LA, CHI, SF Bay - this ones more of a toss up, but I'm willing to put it out there - sometimes you can just tell

Tell us you've never driven in Boston without telling is you've never driven in Boston. ​ > San Francisco is full of pedestrians, buses, street cars, scooters, and emergency vehicles San Francisco is a fucking grid. Waymo only needs to know right angles. The only place where SF is not a grid is SoMa and even then, it's still a grid rotated 45 degrees to the other grid. Boston is not a grid. Boston has tunnels that overlap surface roads -- let's see Waymo figure that shit out.

It shocks me that they could not break the glass when it seems to be virtually unstoppable by the bippers in SF.

Thieves in SF seem to have no problem with the windows

It's such a weird meme on the right that SF is "overrun". We don't have crackheads, we have fentanyl-heads, that's how I know you're not a local.

Might as well just ask hobos in SF, I'm sure for a $20 they'll tell you what works and what doesn't.

Software dev, even in the lowest paying cities you’re starting at 80k a year minimum. In hubs like SF, NYC, Austin, min 130k starting, with some much higher. There are also trades like plumbing and electrical where if you had started at 18, you could be making 100k a year easy by 23 if you were in the union. You’d have to work some OT but it’s doable at that age.

figure out which regional banks are over exposed to SF commercial real estate and junk used car loans. Buy lotto puts on them ever friday starting this Friday. They always announce bank failure and general fuckery on Friday after close to fuck retail. Use this pattern to your advantage. If the put has a 100x, you have 99 tries to be in the green. Something has to break in the next few months.

Depends where in SF. Neighborhoods like Tenderloin? Hard pass

Waymo already fully works in major cities like SF. You should try riding one. It's an experience.

True! FSD has been promised for years and years, yet for the last 4 years in Phoenix you can hail a Waymo no problem. There’s been strong growth in SF for Waymo the last year. Rode in them a bunch my last trip up there, such a quality service. As I noted in another comment, it’s such a shame that Waymo is still private. After using their service just a few times, I’m all in.

For most places except maybe like SF lol

I hear ya ... my great grandmother thought cars were a FAD because they kicked up way more dust than the horses ever did in SF

they are getting smarter, in the 80's they used psychics to create trader profiles. Obviously when the stocks market bubble poped in 90 they all started doing TV shows and guest appearances. I head there are alot of psychics in SF so they may have a really interesting read on you.

I work for a company that utilizes Oracle or at least used to before moving onto Salesforce. Oracle is such a dinosaur product and the only reason the company I work for still uses it is because it’s almost impossible / too time consuming to move everything over to SF. It’s slow laggy and so outdated but we are almost completed with ditching it. This company surely has to be on the way out but I’d bet the fall off comes in 2-5 years. Anyone have additional experience with Oracle?

No dude. You’re misinformed. Waymo is just another failed disruption attempt. The tech doesn’t deliver on its promises. Look at Cruise and how society accepts that disruption in SF. They obstruct traffic. How likely is that the safety of Waymo, Cruise, et al. products will comply with safety regulations in more stringent markets like EU/JP? This is free advice. Take it or leave it.
