    Launch is Imminent

    I worked for Tesla for awhile and Reno has the capability to put in stamping machines and other equipment to build. Makes me wonder if it's just parts from Reno that are in the VIN or if they plan to build some there. It would make a good amount of sense to use all the space left.

    Launch is Imminent

    F150 Lightning production has been halted, and has been stopped on numerous occasions due to battery issues, parts availability, staffing, unions etc. I would feel pretty confident in saying there will be more Cybertrucks on the road from a year of production, than Ford having a 2-3 year head...

    Launch is Imminent

    I'm strictly talking Tesla versus Rivian, but sure. That said I wouldn't buy a Ford EV at this point either what what I have seen and know. Have fun taking your Mach-E in for service. I'd wager that maybe 1-2 employees per location actually know enough to perform maintenance. The sales...

    Launch is Imminent

    Depending where you live, and what you do I think you should watch some of Jerry Rig Everything's videos. A lot of their compartments catch and hold dirt without a good resolution to remove it. Also just the lack of service centers and options for warranty is still pretty rough. I'd sooner...

    Launch is Imminent

    I can't think of a specific launch since model Y where there was a large volume delivery process. When they originally launched the Y they were still pushing some parts around the factory by human power on carts while finishing the production line. Texas was totally different. That was pretty...

    Launch is Imminent

    Testing and commissioning. EPA testing is incredibly specific and requires a lot of information for it to come out accurate. The tires need a specific number of miles. They have to test panels, and materials for a certain amount of miles for validation too. It might sound lame but there are...

    Launch is Imminent

    I'm sticking by my prediction that we'll see 2 variants of a dual motor and a quad versus a tri-motor. The main variation on the dual motor being range and power.

    Launch is Imminent

    My prediction based on some knowledge is we'll see something along the lines of this: Dual Motor :100-133 KWH pack 300-350ish range Dual Motor + :133 KWH pack probably better performance and range 350+ Quad Motor: I never saw any numbers on the pack size for this one(Performance/Plaid) 400+ I...

    Where was unbreakable in the messaging?

    Launch is Imminent

    I got to see some of it so believe what you will. I didn't say it was unbreakable, but it does have a strength it can withstand. It took multiple hits from that ball. In the lead up to launch there were some other tests done at a gun range versus an F-150 and within the studio itself. The...

    Launch is Imminent

    The damage was done from the tests before it going on stage. There was plenty of alternate testing done on the glass before they even got to it inside the vehicle. There is a custom glass factory they have for this purpose right next to Design Studio.

    Launch is Imminent

    For those who don't understand why they're not seeing specs should look back to the refreshed Model S. They're probably still testing and validating these vehicles. Some of these tests can't be completed til the tires have so many miles on them, they've gone through wind tunnels in South...

    They have to train up service centers before launch.

    Launch is Imminent

    When I worked there the only reason the SR+ Y was being made was because they couldn't get the cells to the capacity they were hoping at the time. I'm not sure what their plan was for CT, but no one was happy with the yield and results of the 4680 at the Cyber Rodeo. I'm sure it's improved but...

    So I reserved a Lucid Air

    I’ve seen three Lucids in the wild. Two of which were dead on highways getting put on tow trucks. The third was near Thunder Hill in CA.

    Image if CT actually launches at advertised prices: What will other EV trucks do?!

    Technically they’re well ahead of schedule. At battery day they were targeting 2023. Gonna be in Ys soon so… sucks to be wrong?

    Image if CT actually launches at advertised prices: What will other EV trucks do?!

    Wild prediction but I think the CT will come in lower than the competition by a good bit. They have the flexibility to make quick changes and enough capital as well. They can watch the market and react accordingly. Rivians price jump was a huge loss for them. The lighting is overpriced by a...

    Got VIN and Model Y delivery price increased by $4000

    Alot of folks don't read the fine print.
  22. E

    Rivian price increased massively - $15,500. Cancelled, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    This is a perfect storm for Tesla but sad for the industry. Tesla has the capital and suppliers to keep the overall costs of new programs lower. They also can now target these prices and be incredibly aggressive to beat these prices probably keeping prices quite a bit better. Tesla will...

    Sold my Model S, bought an Ioniq 5

    Again that is only useful for people who can take advantage of the Tax Credit. I couldn't myself until last year.

    Sold my Model S, bought an Ioniq 5

    You're talking about a battery that is about 22KWH bigger in the Mach-E. From a efficiency perspective its not that close.

    How many will look into the F-150 Lightning?

    Cool so to get the baseline 300 mile truck with the proper screen just need a cool $75k. But screw the rest of the market!

    How many will look into the F-150 Lightning?

    They need the factory to be done… Fremont is packed. That’s the wait.

    Rivian Deliveries Pushed to 2022

    How are they worst off? They’re adding two functional factories this year, They’ll make between 1-2 million EVs, they will expand profits, add their own cell manufacturing, work through their backlog of orders to get customers happy, add thousands of more high-speed chargers, continue test...

    Nissan Ariya

    This is happening to everyone. Delays for parts are the same for all. What Tesla has done with its cars currently in production is pretty nuts considering the state of everything.

    Rivian Deliveries Pushed to 2022

    In comparison. Much smoother. But apples to oranges. If you mean their employees or close company friends then yes. They're delivering to customers. Everyone buying it is technically a customer. I'm not sure what is offensive about what I stated. I'm a Rivian fan. I'm rooting for them...

    Rivian Deliveries Pushed to 2022

    One company is making cars for customers. The other only for employees. R1Ts are having plenty of issues from Toneau covers not working, battery issues, charging issues etc. why do you think only employees have them?

    Your Upcoming Model Y Order Cancelation Email

    You should go experience a Ford Mach E buying experience. Its WAY worst. Many folks ordering them would know when they left Mexico and wouldn't hear anything until it was at the dealership... maybe, some wouldn't. Also no one else is doing this at the scale of Tesla.

    Order on hold until March, email today order will be cancelled?!?

    April to January is more than 90 days. Its good to see some people realizing how good of a deal they're getting. If you're not happy and want to buy another Y for tax reasons next year. Look at the resale value on cars with 10-15K miles. You can make out really good.

    Order on hold until March, email today order will be cancelled?!?

    Logistics, planning builds, forecasting, proper material orders, colors, shipping coordination world wide, etc. also when you don’t get your order Tesla eats the cost of shipping/re allocation.

    Rivian delayed again (now Sep for R1T, 2 month additional delay)

    Ford and GM have made incredibly subpar products so far. They're just immune due to owning the press. Think about it. We've heard more about this stand alone fire in PA than we have on EVERY SINGLE BOLT being recalled.

    Your Upcoming Model Y Order Cancelation Email

    No car dealer can give you an EDD right now. I get the hold. But most people are taking advantage of it obviously for pricing til their ready.

    Your Upcoming Model Y Order Cancelation Email

    You’re taking advantage of a system meant for health, travel or financial implications at the time of your delivery though. I don’t blame the gamble but don’t complain when the cheat code doesn’t work.

    Your Upcoming Model Y Order Cancelation Email

    So basically you're saying that you are gonna go after Tesla over $100. Or you could just get your car now and get it at a lesser cost. Logic fail here.

    How are they breaching your contract? If anything you've breached it and they've done ya a solid by letting you keep your price.

    Your Upcoming Model Y Order Cancelation Email

    That sounds like a lot of work when you could just get your car... You are already outside that window. They would've had a car for you in one of the previous two quarters. So everything you're saying wouldn't hold up if you tried to go to court for w/e reason. Those 6 months are two...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Model 3's come from the US for most of Europe still I believe. Maybe that's changing. I think Y's for now have been coming from China.
