So why are you asking the question if you already know it's Samsung 2170?

Look at the two bold'ed sentences, they seem to contradict each other. Which way is it?
I was commenting on form factor. Not old - current news.

What did Jeffries predict as their 2019 Model 3 unit volume?i was reviewing the jeffries report for why they would be so negative. the main thing i see is that the unit volume for model 3 in 2019 seems quite low.
Much as I applaud the effort, you're talking about an analyst that revised his PT by $40 the day after his initial report, because he'd made an error on the SHARE COUNT.So yeah, more on the Jeffries report.
I'm only about 2/3rds of the way through looking at it, but the sales volumes projection by model chart is really, really off.
They have 91k S+X for 2017. With 47k delivered thus far, they are thinking 44k for the rest of the year, or 22k per quarter. Yeah, that's likely to be debunked pretty soon. The low-ish S+X estimates goes all the way through 2021, with 94k in 2018, and 107k in 2019... this seemingly smallish miss is a big deal because of the gross margin. They are actually pretty bullish on Model 3 numbers for 2017... 45,000. A higher M3 versus S+X mix impacts overall gross margins in their model. For FY18, they have 300,000 Model 3's. That's not a bad conservative estimate of 6,200 to 6,500 a week. Could be low by 10%. The big issue is FY2019. They have only 380,000. Even if the entire year was 10% less than the guided 10k/week for exiting 2018, the number would be 432,000. At guidance with no additional expansion for the year, that would be 100,000 low. 100k! They do have some Model Y's and maybe they think that it would impact Fremont production, but I would expect Model Y to be on a new production line somewhere. In addition, I expect changes to the Model X as well as production to increase that significantly. Beyond 2019, they have basically tepid growth. Have they met Mr. Musk?
The report actually has quite a bit that is bullish. But they fall down on a very key parts, and one fixes those, the report would be extremely bullish. The upside case in their report is $525. Thus far, here are the key misses:
* low S+X, falling into the trap of over-extending Q1/Q2 2017 figures as a trend
* low 2018 sales, but really low 2019 numbers.
* very low growth past 2019
* still thinks 35 GWh is the cell production capacity of the Gigafactory 1. Really? Really? Are these people that incompetent?
* estimate of $175/kWh pack costs is high for Model 3 at volume in 2017
So yeah, more on the Jeffries report.

That these "analysts" are permitted to keep their jobs when they make glaring errors like that and make calls that return -47% annually is amazing to me.
I thought Elon said that 100k was the production capability combined for S & X? That from this point forward, they were just trying to increase gross margin.So yeah, more on the Jeffries report.

huh... there are no absolutes in life expect death and taxes. The point is that AP2 is not FSD1.0. The reason is that the amount of shared functionality is very small if you look at a Venn diagram, they would have a very tiny overlap and the AP2 circle would be very small and the FSD circle would be very large. AP is basically TACC with the ability to use Vision to see the lane lines and road edges (which is a tiny overlap with FSD). FSD will use HD3D maps more then lane lines, but uses lane lines as a backup or to confirm the HD maps. Imagine you are on a train and you are firmly on the tracks, that is HD maps. But you confirm that fact by looking with your eyes at the tracks as they stretch out in front of you (small overlap). HD maps will including things like stop signs, stop lights and exits where AP2 has no clue about any of those things and often darts into and out of exit lanes for no apparent reason. This is one way you will know when HD maps are being used as it will stop doing that in places that it has done it a million times. I know for me, I have a few roads I drive on where I can predict it will momentarily dart into a turn lane. No matter how many updates we have, this is a constant.
Is there some poor sap working on rain sensing? Maybe. I dont really care. Wasting anymore tech capital on that abomination is futile and I am all but certain Tesla has moved on.
So yeah, more on the Jeffries report.

Agreed. The timing is all too obvious.The share count mistake is actually pretty understandable. He was under enormous pressure to issue it before TSLA rockets pass the ATH. At that point the attempt at "double top" narrative would not have worked. I am ususally not a fan of conspiracy theories but this report screams manipulation to me. The tell sighn is the acidic tone of the narative. If they were just looking at the numbers conservatively and did not have any agenda, such a tone would not have been used.

In this sentence, is "HD maps" a software element or hardware? Is "AP2" as referenced by you hardware or software? To me that whole sentence is talking about software/data, which can be downloaded/uploaded.
Like @schonelucht
AP2 as understood by most people is strictly hardware. So I really don't understand how you are saying AP2 is done. Maybe it will be if Tesla figures out that the prior AP 2.0 (or even current AP2.5) hardware is no where enough and the architecture fundamentally is not upgradeable to what is ultimately needed. I think we are quite far away from that decision/realization point (if at all).

I hope you are kidding. Do think the system has paper maps? Very confused. Are you even old enough to know what maps look like on paper? I guess im am having troubles knowing what a hardware map is if not for paper. So, yes, I am referring to software. You might be confusing AP2 with HW2. HW2 is hardware, AP2 is software. 3D maps are .... uhm.. software. Or possible tiny people with paper maps.
Ahhh yes.. there it is.. Sorry for the confusion. I assumed everyone knew the HW2 was the hardware part.
