This used to be the TSLAQ block list guy: https://twitter.com/paul91701736 if you are blocked by him, you are on that list. if you block him first, it reduces the chance of being on the list.

My biggest fear is discouraging (or stopping) Tesla from doing things so Twitter or SpaceX get them, such as AI work. Or Tesla paying Twitter to do things they could have done in house.

When I was young a keyed a car for doing that to me. I had a hatch and had to go in that way over two seats. Today would not key the car, but then I just sat in my driver seat and backed out with a screwdriver in my hand. Summon would be better.

I personally am priced out. $30,000 extra is too much. I would have gone $15,000 extra but that’s it. most probably I will buy a model Y

For example, software written by 10,000 people…… see VW.

Makes sense though. A Duesy is more like a Rolls Royce than a Tesla.

Yes in the city. No on the highway. Assuming you never plugged in.

Every one I know who actually tows big stuff, tows it 40 miles or less. That is mostly equipment and boats. yes, I know 1 in 30 tow mobile homes but that is not a major market segment. 350 miles is good for for more people than Tesla can build for in the next three years.

Despite more people charging at home…. Charging Sessions are much longer. i doubt there will be extra real estate in the end.

$3000 discounts on inventory model 3‘s and $5000 on inventory S.

That would probably be illegal if it was Tesla related and material information. He could probably post things about his private companies though.

It will take the market a while to figure this one out. Ford will almost certainly be paying into the build out of the super charger networks once the nacs connector is built in. This will mean more chargers and better not worse availability for everyone. Long term it will be increased profits...

HW4 may be shipping on some model Y now.

Looking at just the 4680 one could see that…. But with the 4680 how many extra cars per week are they making versus batteries they would NOT been able to get? What is the profit on those extra cars? I figure that is thousands of model Y per week. The 4680 program itself may be losing money...

By me in Maryland I can get a model Y at Hertz for $40 a day if I go to the airport…. On Turo I can get an assortment of nine year old vehicles for that price or a Tesla for $88. Interesting they have a ford lightning for $89. There used to be a lot more cars on Turo but not anymore.

Absolutely. It will be entirely motor driven. If the motors fail and the rear wheels are not straight , you are not driving today. That is a huge downside. Some mitigation could be if it could be totally switched off , then at least the rear wheels are straight.

I really don’t want 4 wheel steering. I hope that is an option or not available at all. I mostly don’t want to pay for it, but also the increased complexity and risk of failure are troubling. I am hoping 2 motor versions start around $60k Or less.

Teslas make great cop cars , especially with normal routine policing. But you will be disappointed if you think a Y would do well against a top Dodge hemi in a police chase. The plaid S would do well, but a Y LR would lag , and easily be outrun If road was open. Does not matter much while...

As an alternative they could make 70 mile phevs And market them properly. But they don’t do that.

And slowly fees from autobidder will be more and more residual income from certain deals. That is before Tesla starts their own installations.

Well…. There should be an actual penalty. But it just should be five or six digits long, not seven, eight or nine.

The model x is special in so many ways. Its looks are not for everyone but between the falcon doors and the tech nothing compares. And it’s the fastest 6/7 seater period, unless you count vehicles that require oxidizer and a ground crew.

It also hit very hard surfaces. Rocks dont have crumple zones, so it relied totally on its own.

This test was done at 70+ mph with 2 tons of concrete in the back. No timing marks, no test dummies. It was done to test the facility , not the vehicle.

I have had a full size pickup truck for a decade. i only side loaded twice (firewood) and rear loading would have been less optimal but would have also worked. Not really important for most people.

It is not primarily for the USA….but it still could be offered.

The $25k car will not be announced until it is nearly production ready. It will cut demand for other Tesla products. People "Tesla stretch" now, a would be Prius owner spends $10k more than budget to get a Tesla. Those buyers will get the $25k car. Tesla will not be able to keep it a total...

In USA maybe. Most of Fremont's issues were learning. In Europe needing far less permits and studies for reuse makes reuse the better option.

They have the reservations, they need to produce more. Anything to get that loss per vehicle into a gain. They also should build a 1' longer version for people with professional drivers, and have it start at $100k. Can be used for Saudi taxis, rich people in China, airport limos in Europe...

This has nothing to do with FSD. The removal of ultrasonics stops the auto park and parking assist from working. I don't think ultrasonics were ever used for actual road driving.

That is a Mazda cx30 with Tesla lights. Probably a photoshop too. It even has the Mazda tailpipe cutout.

This is the USA's to screw up. China WANTS desperately to feel like they are in control and not loose face. China at the same time will not send much to Russia. We unfortunately need to look the other way for a small amount of aid. We are not ready for a trade war, neither is China, but the...

Wait for SpaceX and “not a mass driver “

No. the new one is in a new form factor, but does not have to be. Most connections are the same config, just more. The hard part again is wiring new cameras. Hardware could indeed be FULLY compatible.

There is a lot of talk about how HW3 cannot be retrofitted to HW4. Elon even said so. But it is not really true. The cost is just higher than Tesla would like. A new FSD computer could be designed that fit current cars. This is not a challenge, and there are enough cars to make it worth...

It did not run 100 miles away on the eastern shore. They ran local businesses.

Trade your Tesla in for a Bolt when you have the money for either is saying you hate Elon so much you will put your own family at risk. The crash safety difference between these two cars is astounding.

No. Because the federal funding will be so big and outrageous that Tesla with it's finely tuned supercharger building machine will be able to take the money and add these chargers at near zero cost, increasing the amount available to Tesla owners even with the other EV's factored in.

Tesla solar and megapacks can help, by giving power to hospitals and operations that feed people. The scale of the disaster is huge though. For example, just getting the stuff to where it is needed is very difficult due to road issues. The best solution might be for Tesla to concentrate on...

The article you linked clearly explains that all of the tech pre existed years before, and that CSIRO is just a very good patent troll. It is a very good article, with a poor and misleading title.

Tesla just buys more, two machines twice the production. This is clear by the extra spaces for them in the Texas giga factory.

China likes when you move money out actually…. It lowers the price of their currency which makes their products cheaper and more competitive. No chance China blocks companies taking profits out of China.

I doubt it. But a partnership with a wind turbine company for auto bidder and megapack combined to go with a wind turbine would be very interesting.

Good video. It needs to be spread to more people though most of us here have known that a model 3 can travel 20-30 miles on just the electricity used to refine a single gallon of gas.

All of this discussion of the seriousness of a parody account. I don’t give a crap if a twitter account has a blue check or not. It’s now meaningless. The “TSLA bear” you’re all referring to is not a serious account.

That means years of making spare parts for the other colors. I do admit I think Tesla has been too conservative here, but you can't go nuts with it either.

There is a $1000 difference due to the 20" induction wheels, but I do think the 269 mile range car is a bad deal and would go for the 330 mile range car myself. Maybe they should drop another $1000 off the 269 mile version? One note... the odds that the 269 mile version is eligible for $7500...

I agree. Tesla now has the IRA stimulating demand on two trims. I think they will do a Y SR that qualifies as well ….. when they can. That may happen next week or two months from now. I personally feel the 3 SR is overpriced.. but Uncle Sam is reducing the price by $7500 So Tesla is going to...

That and the stock price... 2023 is not off to a good start.
