I think we're on the brink of a big week of new VIN assignments and deliveries because of EPA/NHSTA approval delay. Give it day or two.

I am firmly in the "don't make EVs sound like fart cars" camp. With that said, it's perfectly fine to have it as an option if it sells more cars. If Tesla wants to add more stuff that uses their speaker system, then please implement active road noise cancellation on the 3/Y platform.

Sure seems like a result of laying off all your marketing people rather than implementing a clandestine agenda.

No more parking brake sticking to the rotor?

I don't see it on this form but Tsla Chan is claiming 3rd quarter customer deliveries in China.
