You sidestepped my questions. Does your doorbell have one or eight cameras? Even if tesla did it as efficiently as your camera, it would be, at a minimum, eight times more energy. If they do anything fancy with a neural network (which they almost certainly do), they it might be another 2x the power. Then you have 10x the power which is one order of magnitude.

Quit making false comparisons to your crappy doorbell. It is very different and they're designed for very different things. They don't work the same.

No they didn't. First off it doesn't need to use all eight cameras, but "three orders of magnitude" is obviously way more than 8x.

If it takes more power to do the same calculations, that's a bad thing, not a defense.

"It does it super inefficiently, and then uses 10x power on top of that somehow" is awful!

Also you're rounding way down.

The comparison to the doorbell makes a lot of sense, and "not working the same" is irrelevant to the complaint.
