    MX Design Studio Changes - Interior

    I'd prefer Tesla make money and stay in business. I also think it is a 'bonus' for people who did buy early instead of wait for some feature. If orders drop because of this change I'm sure Tesla will add other combinations.

    MX Design Studio Changes - Interior

    I like the homage to the model T with the 'you can have the cheapest model as long as it is black on black.' I'm guessing that the most popular model on the cheap end used to be white paint with multi pattern and white headliner. By taking away the most popular, it will drive the upgrades (it...

    EM on Twitter: Easter egg to uncork full performance on P100DL?

    Imagine how other manufacturers must feel having to keep changing their target performance. The Mission E Tesla killer is being toasted before it is even off the drawing board. (Although it is a sweet looking car)--How far behind will it be when it is produced 2-3 years from now? By then...

    Higher price on Model S 60

    Speaking of demand, it would be interesting to know if orders went up noticeably after the gas line explosion in the southeast.

    NAV: No on the fly rerouting?

    AP 2.0: Superhuman driving ability combined with the wayfinding skills of a drunk tourist.

    Ex-GM vice chair blasts Tesla, saying supporters 'like members of a religious cult'

    The site makes money on clicks, not facts. Yes, The cult of Tesla is being trolled. The best way to thwart coverage like that is by not visiting the site--frequent the sites that at least fairly evaluate Tesla. I suggest visiting the sites Elon tweets if you are a true believer. :)

    Is direct sale really a better model than dealerships?

    With dealerships, it would likely force Tesla to a yearly product cycle. Could you imagine a dealer getting a shipment of vehicles right before the AP 2.0 announcement? if it was a boutique dealership like Bentley, the markup needed would inflate the price substantially--especially with lower...

    5 Month Model X Experience + Build Quality

    Thanks for the video! When the stars align for me to get an X, folks like you will have helped the X be everything that the price point merits.

    I can see the headlines now.

    The flip side are cars where you need to get the top of the line model to get the safety suite--not an al a carte or post purchase option. I admit it is interesting how Tesla's manufacturing efficiency decision is resulting in ethical questions.

    Model X 60D is Gone

    The other side of the 60d is that it was a way of addressing the falling costs of battery tech. How do you avoid cheesing off recent buyers with a lower the price tag? They lowered the cost of entry without offending the original 75d buyers. Genius.

    Model X 60D is Gone

    My glass 3/4 full guess would be that on the 17th they announce that the 5 seat Model X is non Falcon wing, non-mono post so that it is in a lower price tier--and therefore a 60d isn't necessary.

    Model X 60D is Gone

    I'll take the glass half full guess. There are a lot of queued over seas orders after pushing Q3 for US. Tesla has prioritized high end models on the queue previously. If they have the orders to keep production going, focus on the highest markup. They still need have to show their plan for 5...

    Model X 60D is Gone

    I was going to get the 60D in March; I don't think the family CFO will green light the 75. :(

    Model X 60D is Gone

    There are currently 3 different physical battery packs. 75, 90, 100. The 90 will likely go away when the 100's tech is applied to smaller sizes. The question is, what will the new sizes be in December when 100 is available on non P models?

    What will you do if 8.0 delivers tomorrow?

    Weep in my 5 y.o. Minivan which I've refused to pay to update the nav maps.

    Cancelled our 90D

    At some point they have to build the 'low end' 5 seaters/ coil. Having a 100d / AP 2.0 carrot means there will be strong demand after those are produced. The difference in revenue is made up by p100d.

    Autopilot 2.0 Upgrade for Exisiting Owners

    With AP 2.0, what are the chances they charge an additional amount for level 3 autonomy with a guarantee like Volvo? Tesla has a decent job of keeping prior owners' values up despite constant improvements and battery cost reductions.
