I've been lurking/posting on these threads since back in 2013, and was fortunate enough to work for Tesla from July 2017 through September of 2021. I know how incredibly passionate Tesla's customer base is, and I also know how passionate the staff is. It probably comes as no surprise that both...

I worked at Tesla for 4 years - I left there in September of this year after the most amazing career experience of my life. I made friends that I now view as family. I literally bled, cried, and laughed maniacally when I was executing against the very ambitious goal of moving our world towards...

Hi gang - I've put together a model and a detailed, in depth video that explains my assumptions and thought process behind a Tesla stock price of $50k by 2035. Model can be found here: TSLA v4 Video can be found here: Hope you enjoy and curious to hear your thoughts.

I've been trying to visualize the exponential growth of FSD's abilities that Elon continually alludes to, and I think I finally figured out how to think about this concept. I believe the biggest thing people are missing with Tesla's FSD tech is that it doesn't require lane markings to make its...

I haven't quite finished this episode yet, but the amount of information regarding Model 3, Tesla, competitors, manufacturing, components, etc. is so vast in here so far that I really think it warrants its own thread. It has been a great pleasure listening so far. My biggest take away - Sandy...

Tesla names Larry Ellison and Kathleen Wilson-Thompson to board after SEC settlement Discuss.

Hi all, Looking to sell my uncorked 2016 Tesla Model S 75D with 25000 miles. Car is in great condition and has been rock solid for the almost 2 years that I've owned it. Was purchased as New Inventory and has been cared for very well. It's been a super reliable daily driver and by far the best...

I can't really describe it, but my gut is telling me that Tesla is going to drop a massive bomb in the upcoming ER and announce that they've reached profitability as of the release of the Earning's Report, essentially making every claim that Tesla cannot become profitable with the Model 3...

Hi gang, See below chart. Items in yellow are options that I think will be available on day 1. In the case of the glass roof, I think Tesla will only make the glass roof available on Day 1 with the option to get a regular roof as production ramps (helps with margin). EDIT: Made change to the...

Hi gang - not sure if anyone else has experienced this before. Noticed this today while driving the wife's car. Steering feels like it "clicks" into place when turning it slowly, yet feeling goes away when turning at a faster rate. Feels like the motion of a second hand on a click. I've a...

I would like to explore the possibility of stock price in the next 6 months to 2 years if the Model 3 launch and ramp is fully successful. Every analyst I see covering the stock has the Model 3 launch either a) not happening b) super slow with an incredibly slow ramp c) slow with their 500k...

Hi all, Wife and I are both Model S owners. Looking to see if there are others in the Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton area of PA (or the Phillipsburg nearby area of NJ) that would be interested for a meet up. We are looking to attend the Cars and Coffee event in April at the steel stacks to try and...

Going to give a stab at figuring out what options/prices will be for Model 3 once the configurator opens. These assumptions are based on the latest tweet storm Elon just put us thru as of 3/24. Specifically taking into account these primary points: - The maximum battery capacity for the Model 3...

Thoughts on this? I think it makes sense. Most of the demand will be in California which is a fair weather state, and I'm guessing a large amount of buyers won't have a use case for rear wheel drive. Makes sense to make AWD available once the east coast ramp is in full effect.

I want to preface by saying that I do not think that the Model 3 is going to be a bad car - on the contrary, I think it's going to be BY FAR the best bang for your buck for a $35k car. However, I've encountered a fair bit of assumptions that members are making for Model 3 - ranging all the way...

Hi again, I created a thread a while back (link here for those that are wondering) that attempts to price out options for Model 3. Quite a bit has happened since August (believe it or not) that has materially changed my perspective on how options will be priced come next year. DISCLAIMER: I...

Hi gang - not sure if anyone else has experienced a hard to locate rattle that appears to be coming somewhere behind the driver-side seat when going over rough pavement on the road. It almost sounds like it's coming from inside the seat, but I find that hard to believe. My car is fitted with a...

Hi gang - bought an inventory car last week located in NC, which was to be transported up to PA. Was communicated that they'll attempt to have car ready for pickup by 9/30. Got a call from Tesla HQ on Tuesday to schedule pick-up for 9/30 at 12:00PM. Emailed my local service center guy to...

Hi gang - still in bit of a shock, but I've just placed a deposit for a Model S inventory car. Below are some of the details: 900 miles on odometer 75 kwh Black paint Next gen black seats Dual Motor All Glass panoramic 19" slipstream with primacy tires Black Alcantara Autopilot Purchase price...

Hi gang, I've created a chart to try and outline what I think the costs will be for each Model 3 offering. My gut tells me the Model 3 will run with a 45, 60, and 75 kWh battery as the 3 models, with all the batteries being 75s with the ability to upgrade. I put this together to try and see if...

Hi gang, I have a small business I started this year, and I've been looking at the Model X as a purchase. I'm looking to gather opinions and usage of members on this forum who have a Model X and have used (or are looking to use) Section 179 for 2016. I'm looking to use the vehicle as follows...

I'm using a couple hints that Elon dropped on the project to come up with what I think will be the interior layout of the Spacebus: - It will use the same chassis as Model X - It will be able to carry people on wheelchairs - It will do away with the center aisle regularly present in buses I...

This is a day that all of us have been looking forward to for a really long time. Post your drink of choice for celebrating this special day! I'll kick it off with a delicious Peach Ciroc and Cranberry. Was craving for a something sweet tonight :)

Didn't see it posted, so mods feel free to delete if it's already there. Post your predictions on things that will be shown during the presentation. I'm going to start it off by focusing on the number 3 itself. I think that this number not only will represent the name of the vehicle, but the...

As we all know, we've had a variety of users on this board that have shared extensive detail on their brand new Model X cars. I think it is an awesome thing to see such a close nit community that so freely chooses to spend a lot of hours of their days sharing detail and answering questions from...

Hello all, Since Tesla is gearing up to release their right-hand drive model to the UK within a month or so - I figure having a thread that tracks UK specific news and happenings helpful (a la China thread). Members of the board from the UK - your input would be awesome as far as overall...

Just wanted to point people to the following thread where discussion takes place regarding the number of reservations for Model X. A supposed Tesla Employee (tagged as employee on Reddit's r/Teslamotors subreddit) says that they'll be near 12,000 reservations within a month or two, but...

Eight states team up to push electric cars, target 3.3 million sold by 2025

This writer gets it. I'm still amazed at the relative "unknown" of Tesla in the public eye. Once the masses start to notice, look out. The Tesla Model S and Ford Model T kicked off revolutions in mobility | Digital Trends

Hello all. Semi-long time lurker, first time poster. Love all the input from everyone on this forum. I believe Tesla has us investors on a pretty good road forward. I did a quick model of Tesla sales for their Model S, X and GenIII cars through 2013, and was wondering if I can get some input...
