What's the consensus on this? I feel like the packaging and heat dissipation issues need some work. Its much harder to fly electronics on a big noisy rocket than most people think

Musk is doing what he's always done: making outrageous promises/predictions that won't come true but sound like science fiction to lure the uneducated into investing.

* The hardware is outdated quickly and putting it in space just makes it impossible to replace or service.

* Dissipating the heat generated is a real problem that limits the hardware you can put in one satellite.

* Satellites will always have greater latency and worse bandwidth than land-based connections.

"From a technology standpoint, Tesla will have a car that can do full autonomy in about three years, maybe a bit sooner."

--- Musk, 2015

"I mean, it does look like [full autonomy is] gonna happen this year."

--- Musk, 2023

"I think [FSD] will be available for unsupervised personal use by the end of this year in certain geographies."

--- Musk, 2025

Buying a Tesla would earn you money as you could rent it out as a cab!

And when not driving around you could rent out its computational ability to form a mesh super computer!

Musk thinks people are stupid enough to believe this. And sadly, he's right in a lot of cases.
