Only #1 supports moving the HQ. All the others can be realized by establishing a factory in TX, which made a lot of sense.

To be fair, that’s why Elon is targeting “10x better than a human driver alone,” which should translate to fewer people being maimed or killed. Even the 10x target may not be enough, because the comparison is fraught with logical flaws: 1. It compares death and injury statistics for Teslas, the...

Point is, the chiseled, faceted look of the Cybertruck looks better at this scale than bulbous curves. Picture that cybertruck headlight slit on a semi! It would be easier to make a retractable wind deflector too.

The miles Tesla has logged so far prove that AP+H>H (AP PLUS a generally attentive human driver H is safer than a human driver alone). That’s an important distinction from AP>H (“AP is supposed to be *safer* than a human alone”) and one that is often overlooked. Humans still intervene a lot...

Phantom braking will continue to be a bugaboo, but I would prefer the system that won’t crash into stopped cars surrounded by flashing lights and cones. BTW FloridaJohn, is it just my imagination, or have more than half of Tesla’s accidents occurred in Florida?

I think the new ones are such a quantum leap forward, they will do much better at resale than the older models, depending on how long you plan to hold. The Plaid in particular has picked up a brand cachet like the Cybertruck that should set it apart for years. The premium for Plaid seemed like...

The need to ignore stationary objects was a radar-based issue. Radar reflections can inflate the size of small objects, so the convex bottom of a soda can could appear to be a huge obstacle. As I understand it, Tesla had to program AP to ignore those stationary signals or cars would be...

Do the rear seats have a push button drop down feature? Are the seat belt tensioners height adjustable? I have a short wife who appreciates these features in the Model Y.

I fully expect Elon has a secret off grid compound, possibly underground and accessed by Boring Co tunnels carrying power from wherever. Not buying the whole mobile home story.

But it doesn’t have to be a structural exoskeleton. Nothing could be cheaper than stamping flat unpainted steel panels, and (I think) it would look better. I started a thread on the Tesla forums called “Cybertruck discussion for engineers” that got a lot of interesting input on the pros and...

Would love to see a version of the semi with the cybertruck aesthetic - flat polygons, slit headlights, exposed stainless steel. The current version’s design looks like an inflated car, too bulbous at semi scale. Who’s with me?

I really want one but I have a policy of waiting through the first part of the ramp on a new model, and I’m letting another couple of months go by before I pull the trigger.

I’m guessing they are still arguing with regulators about the steering wheel.

Not a peep about Autopilot, either in the reveal or on the new web page! What's up?

I think it might look a little buck-toothed with a license plate. Hope I get used to it. Seems like a look that might work better on a smaller car.
