    Tesla Q1 Earnings Call: Flufferbot, Model Y, and the ‘Best-Selling’ Model 3

    Best sedan, that's highly subjective. And speaking of Model S, is a replacement even on the horizon ? Largest EV mfr: no, it's BYD. But neither are the point. The point is that being the mighty tadpole in a puddle does not get you far enough. EVs are 1% of global automotives sales. The question...

    Tesla Q1 Earnings Call: Flufferbot, Model Y, and the ‘Best-Selling’ Model 3

    Three things stood out for me: - the complete improv on gross margins. Ahuja gave 3 different versions in 3 minutes of the GM projections on Model 3.

    I put 150 miles on a Model 3 (Nov build, i have the VIN) today and found the ride to be surprisingly harsh indeed. My 911 GT3 is less punishing in primary ride. The owner told me that he had been offered a fix (the retrofit in question). I just have two questions: - is the retrofit free, parts...
