Elon: FSD Beta tweets

Yep, TSLA needed to build something in that price range years ago. To get the cost out though it might need to be a no frills grocery getter with small wheels/tires and a hollow tin can sound when the doors close. TSLA would also need to figure out how to dramatically lower the cost of FSD as few $25k purchasers would consider plunking down another 60% on FSD.
Has Elon mentioned if Gen 3 would support FSD? It would save a lot of money if it was a no-frills 200 mile range no-FSD hardware whatsoever vehicle.

All cars need front and rear cameras now for required safety features. Tesla makes their own FSD computer and I doubt they'd save much money by developing a slower one. Seems like it would be minimal cost savings.
 
While it will be nice to hear about the G3 it does seem a little disingenuous to stand up and announce when you still haven't produced a Roadster or Cyber Truck. Remember the Model 3 was supposed to be an affordable car and that didn't happen, except for a couple of "off menu" sales.

EDIT: Also hope they can offer some "concrete" news of G2 4680's with a ½ decent energy storage and ability to mass produce. So far 4680 is an energy and production dud.

very very unlikely.

Cost of hardware is deliberately low for FSD which is one of many reasons they do not use Lidar - and it will only require a small proportion of Gen 3 sales to purchase FSD/EAP to cover the fleet hardware cost.

With a cheaper car, its arguable that more people could afford to add FSD, and without the installed hardware, subscription based FSD packages would also be unavailable.
 
Wonder if this will effect pedal placement on the G3. 🤔 🤣 Too bad (for TSLA) he can't keep his word.

....and the correct answer is "Stop shooting your feet by keeping your trap shut about controversial subjects". And sell that horrible Tweeter crap of a company.

How many "cry wolf" V11 Tweets does it take? Even Whole Mars ain't swallowing it "whole" any more.😫 Stop promising over and over and over and over...until it IS ready to release.

Would love it if he would just shut his mouth about shipping dates, how many delays are we at for v11 just since Thanksgiving?
