    This truck design had better be a joke....

    I slept on it, looked at pictures again this morning.... Still looks like a lifted up 80s DeLorean...but a lot uglier. Stock took a nosedive, too. This is Tesla`s Multipla.

    Starting to regret my purchase

    For those who are interested: A YT comment from Nextmove about their cancelled 100 Model 3 purchase and the issues they had with the cars and with Tesla. It´s in german but has english subtitles. I think the most striking question I heard in that video was "does Tesla even care about...

    At least in central europe it`s currently ~75% crap and only 25% fine. Streit über Qualitätsmängel: Tesla stoppt Model-3-Lieferungen an Nextmove - Golem.de For those who don`t understand german, which is probably the majority here: Nextmove, a german fleet operator, had ordered 100 Model 3s...

    Waymo's self-driving Jaguar I-Pace begins testing on public roads

    wait...WHAT!? Tesla has been doing nothing else but releasing features that are basically beta versions, that`s especially true for anything AP but also for features like the infamous NN-powered wipers. Heck for a long time AP didn`t even require any driver feedback and people were doing videos...

    Byton unveils interior with huge screen

    And we don`t need more than ~5-6" on our smart devies to have all that and now we suddenly get a ginourmos ultra wide screen in our cars for the same purpose? I´ve seen the demos, too, and I still think that design is absolute garbage and was purely made to fetch some attention and not to...

    Byton unveils interior with huge screen

    Imho that design is seriously overdoing it. I´m in a car, and since there is a steering wheel I guess I´m supposed to drive that myself for the time being. So what do I need the monitor setup of a multimedia artist for? And if that thing was fully automated and I could use the screen for...

    FSD - hands on wheel?

    Tell that to all the people that bought into AP1 back then. Jesus, your optimism is nice and all, but with you it`s like Tesla`s long track record of broken promises didn`t exist. But hey, since I just bought into Tesla shares again I sure hope you`re right.

    Coast to coast drive happening this year for all FSD Teslas!

    I`m seriously astonished that after so many broken promises some fans still give Elon the benefit of the doubt..... I´ll not believe a thing Tesla claims or Elon promises anymore if a corresponding product isn`t actually available.

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    and again I don`t agree with that math nor does the situation with the rapid improvements apply to a lot of places where the eco-fetishists are trying to make us swallow the infrastructure investments all at once. Keeping all those plants for backup due to the lack of any storage options while...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    Making emissions the absolute top priority to the point that you`re sacrificing grid stability on that altar and accept rampant curtailment, dispatch and gap-fill costs is financial suicide....We´re experiencing this first hand in central europe atm. we just cracked the 0,3€ line for a single...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    Quite the contrary needs to be done... We overproduce in the summer and then we have to fall back to nuclear and coal power in the winter months. We need massive storage capabilities before renewables can progress further over here.

    A miserable quarter result and a dwindling model 3 profit margin and demand is what`s happening. Add the plans to do another capital raise to that and you got an explosive cocktail.

    Falling Battery Prices to Make EVs Cheaper Than ICE Cars in 3 Years

    Considering that the demand for battery cells is already significantly higher than the production and the resource prices are on a steady way up I don`t see this becoming a reality in the foreseeable future if manufacturers want something that resembles a reasonable profit margin... I wouldn´t...

    Volkswagen Group To Produce 22 Million EVs By 2028: Over 50% In China

    meanwhile VW slashed their production targets for the E-Tron in 2019 again because they can`t get enough batteries and still have no means to actually get bigger volumes as they`re 100% dependent on 3rd parties there which won`t change in the foreseeable future.....

    The Volkswagen I.D. Is The Electric Future Of Compact Cars With A 373 Mile Range

    I simply don`t care. Live and let Iive. I pretty much despise Apple, but people can buy whatever they want and they`re feeding a giant amount of employees. I make decisions for myself, not for other people. The Diesel scandal wasn`t a thing back then, so why screw their core business just for...

    Battery Consumption

    LPG taxes are way lower and will stay that low until at least 2022. I´ve actually been able to get lpg for <0,5€ until 2016, even. Normal gas ist at >1,5€/l and even Diesel is almost at 1,4€/l currently, completely crazy. I have to thank our german government's incompetence for that. We got the...

    Battery Consumption

    I said "fuel cost" not efficiency. :) The M3 would sit around ~23kwh per 100km for me, which is 6,21€ in power cost where I live. (0,27€ / kwh ) My current 350 E-Class consumes ~10l LPG per 100km which costs me 6,3€ (0,63€ / l) And the E-class actually performs better at 130+ km/h. In basically...

    Battery Consumption

    Well, you already made your choice, so It probably doesn`t matter anymore for you. But there`s still enough people contemplating the choice between ICE and EV in general. When the first reports about cold weather power consumption for the model 3 rolled in the "fuel" cost calculation for my...

    Will the value of used M3's increase once the rebate is half and then gone?

    The relatively low depreciation on Tesla vehicles up to now wasn`t because of the brand-name but because of the production volume. With Tesla`s entry in mass manufacturing we`ll see similar market treatment to all other brands. Don`t expect Tesla to fare any better than a Merc/BMW/Audi in a...

    As if Tesla fans would all only care about the green factor. That must be why the AWD and P models are so popular and people opt to drive 2,5 ton cars with 4s 0-60 instead of smaller Evs from different brands. I´d dare to say the majority is into it for the performance and novelty factor. The...

    I already calculated it and with the current power prices (25-32ct) I´d barely save 1€ per 100km compared to a Diesel or LPG engine. Company car, doesn`t matter. And I can´t say I can share the experiences of many boardmembers concerning high maintenance costs on older german premium cars. Maybe...

    European pricing and configurator now live

    at 58k€ LR starting price I´m definitely out. With our company rebates that translates to a ~75k BMW 5 or E-Class. The Model 3 can`t compete with that for me, personally. For non EV enthusiasts that`s just terrible value for the money. Enjoy your cars guys :)

    Audi Offers Up Sneak Peek Of e-Tron GT Ahead Of Reveal

    I actually have the same issue with the Model S. I understand why the "classic" lines were kept here, but I expect things to change bit by bit. The M3`s "bubbly" proportions are already going in the right direction imho.
