A workers council (Betriebsrat) has nothing to do with Union involvement. Any company above a certain number of employees (IMO 100 or so) has the right to form one. It's just about labor involvement on certain management decisions. Since this labor council was formed very early in the...

Wouldn't that suggest that something happened in the last weeks that pushed mass production a couple months back? I doubt they got all of a sudden 8000 orders... Their complete radio silence besides a few delivery specialists giving vague responses to customers is worrying me a bit.

Just noticed the Order page for the Model X refresh shows now delivery in January/February ‘22 when ordered today? Eight to nine months? Last time I checked a month ago it said August I believe? Are they that backordered? Production problems? What is going on?

Quick question that might be related to this topic: We've been charging our car using a NEMA 14-50 outlet at 40A to 80% every two or three nights, usually plugging the car in when the battery goes below 50%. We've had a visit by a mobile technician recently and he recommended to only charge at...

Say Hi to Cassini, our new Raven Model S Long-Range Dual Motor. Taking delivery took only about 20 minutes (After a brief wait at the new Fremont Delivery center) including signing all the paperwork, including the lease return of Jupiter, our trusty 2016 Model S 90D after three years of trouble...

Agreed, but how does this explain the total radio silence from the design department on the Model S? Or X for that matter. Once the 3 was handed off to production there should've been plenty of resources available for the S/X? I can't imagine to think that the Roadster 2 vanity project is...

I've never had a car brand before where the new model isn't available in a better version than the one you've bought years ago. I'm coming up on my three year lease on our Model S and none of the interior options are still available, not the seat color, headliner or wood trim. Not to talk about...

But at the end of the day money needs to be allocated to projects and I get the sense that Tesla is investing way to much into the FSD project, especially now that they're months behind Elons promises i.e. coast to coast drive. If I had to choose between FSD or an Interior on the Level of...

Oh and one more thing, I've just priced an I-Pace to our comparable specs and it came out $25K cheaper. Only thing missing were the AP1 which I honestly could live without.

I've just watched a few of those I-Pace videos and I have to say I've come away impressed. For a first try fully electric car the I-Pace seems pretty nice. Now, I won't be giving away our 90D Model S yet, but I've signed up for a test drive to compare. Our lease isn't up for another 1.5 years so...
