    Elon's model 3 comments

    so one of the things that has been bugging me since the 4Q 2016 earnings call was elon's comments about the model 3 when pressed about a final reveal -- here is the exchange with the analysts: "It's going to be pretty close to what I showed at the Model 3 unveiling, but with more polish and...

    Do you Think Musk used TMC Members Reworks for Updated M3 Front?

    (I meant heavily influenced, not really "used") The Anders is a little pointer but close. I think it's so cool that Musk may have taken TMC/others photoshopped reworks and could've taken it to his designers and said 'Change it'. How many CEO's would've done this for their flagship model! Anders...

    Elon almost has me convinced...

    Obviously, Elon's on a tear trying to convince everyone to go buy a Model S, rather than wait for the Model 3. One minor unintended consequence is that he may be convincing those of us that have a lower spec Model S that were planning to "upgrade" to a performance version of the Model 3, that...

    Did Elon Musk lie to us?

    Over a year ago, Elon tweeted this: "Elon Musk ✔ @elonmusk @HBL_Cosmin Wait until you see the real steering controls and system for the 3. It feels like a spaceship. 4:49 PM - 3 Apr 2016" For the last year, I, and probably everyone else here have been patiently, or not, waiting to see the...

    Open letter to Elon Musk about Temporary Power on Construction Sites

    I think that currently, one of the fastest ways to spread the idea and demand for clean energy is to offer clean temporary welding power, clean temporary construction site power, and later (because they take longer to develop & set up manufacturing) clean tractors and trucks (the latter two...

    Elon confirms RHD Model 3 won't be ready until June 2018

    Bummer. I hoped that with the central screen in the Model 3 that it would be easier to make right hand drive versions but unfortunately Elon tweeted that UK right hand drive models won't be made until Their Summer which makes it Winter down here in Oz. So June 2018. Bummer.

    Elon Tweet: No 'significantly new consumer-facing technology' in Model 3

    My reading of his tweets today is that there is no HUD planned, and that the center display is all we get. Thoughts? He clearly says their is no new technology that is not in an S or X and/or that a consumer would notice (as opposed to production line improvements).

    When Will AP2 Fleet Hit Elon's Several Hundred Million Mile Goal?

    As we AP2 owners are aware, AP2 is in beta and hasn't even achieved parity with AP1's features, much less parity in performance. Local autosteer will cross double yellow lines on turns and upon activation it will "hunt" for the center of the lane in a manner reminiscent of a drunk driver...
