福特 CEO 吉姆·法利（Jim Farley）解释公司为何取消全电动版 F-150 Lightning： “售价 5 万、6 万、7 万美元 的电动车就是卖不动；我们只是顺着消费者、顺着市场在走。我们将全面扩展混合动力车型阵容，这对公司的盈利能力、股东利益，以及创造大量新的美国就业岗位都有好处。 这些售价高达 7 万美元的纯电动皮卡，尽管我个人很喜欢这个产品，但从商业角度看并不合理。相比之下，一款满箱油可跑 700 英里、90% 使用时间为纯电模式的 EREV，作为 Lightning 的方案，比当前的纯电 Lightning 更合适。” 其中，EREV 是福特所称的“增程式电动车（Extended Range Electric Vehicle）”，其特点是在电动车基础上加入一个汽油发电机，用于给电池组充电，从而为电机提供动力。 Ford CEO Jim Farley on why the company is cancelling the all-electric F-150 Lightning: "The $50k, $60k, $70k EVs just weren't selling; We're following customers to where the market is. We're going to build up our whole lineup of hyrbids. It's gonna be better for the company's profitability, shareholders and a lot of new American jobs. These really expensive $70k electric trucks, as much as I love the product, they didn't make sense. But an EREV that goes 700 miles on a tank of gas, for 90% of the time is all-electric, that EREV is a better solution for a Lightning than the current all-electric Lightning." An EREV is what Ford calls an “extended range electric vehicle,” which adds a "gas generator that can recharge the battery pack to power the motors."

- 我认为，人们需要重新审视围绕埃隆“净资产”的讨论。随着他的净资产接近 1 万亿美元，理解更大的背景尤为重要。埃隆是通过正当方式获得财富的：他创建公司、打造产品与服务，真正被人们所喜爱，同时为股东创造了巨大的价值。他没有偷盗，也没有欺骗；他是在建设与创造。 埃隆并不是为了购买游艇、豪宅或度假而积累财富。他的资本主要是一种工具，用来追求他认为对人类长期未来最有益的结果，其中最重要的是让人类成为多行星物种。在火星建设将非常昂贵，他的很大一部分财富最终都会投入其中；与此同时，他也在地球上进行大量投资——截至目前，他通过旗下公司及其供应链创造了超过 60 万个就业岗位。 埃隆是世界上最出色的资本配置者之一，创造了多项改变世界的技术，造福了全人类。正因如此，当一些人说他应该缴纳更多税时，显得颇为讽刺（他的财富几乎全部是未实现的股票收益），因为这些资本如果被转移给政府，往往会交到最糟糕的资本配置者手中。 他在 2021 年缴纳了史上单笔最大的税款（110 亿美元）；而当他行使 2018 年特斯拉 CEO 绩效奖励中的股票期权（将于 2028 年 1 月到期）时，未来很可能还会缴纳更大一笔税款。 随着他的财富增长，传统媒体及其他人对埃隆的妖魔化只会愈演愈烈。相反，他们更应该关注的是他为他人创造的巨大价值，以及他旗下公司正在做的所有好事： 特斯拉：加速迈向可持续未来，并通过自动驾驶技术拯救生命 Neuralink：通过脑植入芯片改善残障人士的生活 SpaceX / Starlink：为全球偏远地区提供互联网连接 The Boring Company：减少交通拥堵、缩短出行时间 xAI / Grok：利用 AI 解决问题、回答疑问、应对挑战 以及更多 不要用财富来衡量埃隆。用他建成了什么、正在创造和建设什么，以及没有他就不会存在的那些事物来衡量他。而那份清单，非常长。 I think people need to reframe the conversation around Elon’s “net worth.” As his net worth approaches $1 trillion, it’s important to understand the bigger picture. Elon earned his wealth the right way: by building companies and creating products and services that people genuinely love, while generating enormous shareholder value. He didn’t steal. He didn’t cheat. He built and created. Elon isn’t accumulating wealth to buy yachts, houses, or vacations. His capital is primarily a tool to pursue outcomes he believes are best for humanity’s long-term future, most notably making life multi-planetary. Building on Mars will be expensive, and much of Elon's wealth will ultimately go towards that, but he’s also investing heavily here on Earth, having created over 600,000 jobs so far across his companies and supply chains. Elon is the best capital allocator in the world, and has created multiple world-changing technologies that have benefited humanity. That’s why it’s ironic when some people say he should pay more taxes (almost all of his wealth is unrealized stock gains), because that capital would simply be redirected to the government, one of the worst capital allocators. He paid the single largest tax bill in history in 2021 ($11B) and will likely pay an even bigger one in the future when he exercises the stock options from his 2018 Tesla CEO Performance Award, which are set to expire in January 2028. The villainization of Elon by legacy media and others will only intensify as his wealth grows. Instead, what they should focus on is the massive value he has created for others and all the good his companies are doing: • Tesla: Accelerating toward a sustainable future and saving lives with self-driving cars • Neuralink: Improving the lives of disabled people with brain-implant chips • SpaceX/Starlink: Bringing internet connectivity to remote areas worldwide • The Boring Company: Reducing traffic and travel time • xAI/Grok: Using AI to solve problems, answer questions, and tackle challenges • And much more Don’t measure Elon by his wealth. Measure him by what he has built, what he’s creating/building, and all the things that wouldn’t exist without him. That list is long.Sawyer Merritt · 2025/12/31
- Waymo 在本周旧金山发生大规模停电、其无人驾驶出租车暂停运行后，刚刚发布了一份官方声明。 “我们希望向大家说明停电期间我们的运营情况，以及我们将如何持续演进，以更好地服务这座城市。 应对如此规模的事件，对自动驾驶技术来说是一次独特的挑战。虽然 Waymo Driver 的设计可以在交通信号灯熄灭时，将路口视为四向停靠（four-way stop），但在某些情况下，它会请求人工确认，以确保做出最安全的决策。周六当天，我们成功通过了 7,000 多个无信号灯路口，但此次停电导致这类确认请求在短时间内集中激增。这形成了请求积压，在部分情况下造成响应延迟，进而加剧了本就不堪重负的道路拥堵。 在早期部署阶段，我们本着高度谨慎的原则建立了这些确认机制；而现在，我们正在对其进行优化，以匹配当前的运营规模。虽然这种策略在较小规模的停电事件中行之有效，但我们目前正在部署全车队更新，为 Driver 提供明确的停电场景上下文，使其能够更果断地进行决策和通行。 随着停电持续，且市政府官员呼吁居民尽量减少外出、优先保障应急人员通行，我们在相关区域临时暂停了服务。我们指示车队就地靠边、规范停车，并分批将车辆送回车库。这确保我们不会在恢复高峰期进一步加剧交通拥堵，也不会阻碍应急车辆通行。” 前进方向 “我们正在对本次事件进行分析，并已开始整合从此次 PG&E 停电中获得的经验教训。以下是我们正在采取的一些即时措施： 整合更多停电信息： 虽然 Driver 已能将熄灭的交通信号灯视为四向停靠，但我们正在推出全车队更新，为车辆提供更丰富的区域停电信息，使其在这些路口做出更果断的判断。 更新应急准备与响应机制： 我们将改进应急响应流程，把此次事件的经验纳入其中。在旧金山，我们将继续与市长 Lurie 团队合作，寻找在现有应急预案中深化协作的空间。 扩大与应急人员的合作： 目前，我们已在美国及全球范围内培训了 25,000 多名应急人员，指导他们如何与 Waymo 车辆互动。随着我们从此次及其他大规模事件中获得新的经验，我们将持续更新对应的应急人员培训内容。” Waymo has just released an official statement following the massive power outage in San Francisco this week and their robotaxis shutting down. “We want to share an account of our operations during the outage and how we are evolving to better serve the city. Navigating an event of this magnitude presented a unique challenge for autonomous technology. While the Waymo Driver is designed to handle dark traffic signals as four-way stops, it may occasionally request a confirmation check to ensure it makes the safest choice. While we successfully traversed more than 7,000 dark signals on Saturday, the outage created a concentrated spike in these requests. This created a backlog that, in some cases, led to response delays contributing to congestion on already-overwhelmed streets. We established these confirmation protocols out of an abundance of caution during our early deployment, and we are now refining them to match our current scale. While this strategy was effective during smaller outages, we are now implementing fleet-wide updates that provide the Driver with specific power outage context, allowing it to navigate more decisively. As the outage persisted and City officials urged residents to stay off the streets to prioritize first responders, we temporarily paused our service in the area. We directed our fleet to pull over and park appropriately so we could return vehicles to our depots in waves. This ensured we did not further add to the congestion or obstruct emergency vehicles during the peak of the recovery effort. The path forward We are analyzing the event, and are already integrating the lessons from this weekend’s PG&E outage. Here are some of the immediate steps we’re taking: • Integrating more information about outages: While our Driver already handles dark traffic signals as four-way stops, we are now rolling out fleet-wide updates that give our vehicles even more context about regional outages, allowing them to navigate these intersections more decisively. • Updating our emergency preparedness and response: We will improve our emergency response protocols, incorporating lessons from this event. In San Francisco, we’ll continue to coordinate with Mayor Lurie’s team to identify areas of greater collaboration in our existing emergency preparedness plans. • Expanding our first responder engagement: To date, we’ve trained more than 25,000 first responders in the U.S. and around the world on how to interact with Waymo. As we discover learnings from this and other widespread events, we’ll continue updating our first responder training.”Sawyer Merritt · 2025/12/24
