I think it's getting pretty obvious that Tesla is going to build the Y at the Gigafactory. Any other site would have been announced by now, and they are actively expanding the Gigafactory.

Could add Y to the current model 3 line.
Last I heard it was Fremont. Although I’m not sure how they will have the space.
Tesla to begin Model Y production at Fremont factory in Nov. 2019, says report

Oh shoot! Did really none of us look at any numbers?!? I knew we were missing something!

Retail Prices for Premium Gasoline
Gasoline prices across the country are surging. Why is Tesla assuming $2.70 per gallon when calculating "gasoline savings?" There is no state where premium gasoline sells at $2.70. Tesla can play this up to grow its used vehicle business.
At $4 per gallon, most people will rather buy a used Model S than a new 7 Series.

Was this one of those hedge funds that's operated by a person living in their parents basement? Or is it an actual hedge fund? I'm thinking the former.
Maybe I missed it, but I did not see this article here:

Tesla’s Computer Vision Master Plan – Trent Eady – Medium
This is a good (but not brief) review of Tesla’s use of passive vision (over Lidar) for autonomy. Trent gives context for Tesla’s effort to design its own microprocessor:
“...Also of importance is the Google researchers’ finding that “to fully exploit [very large data sets], one needs higher capacity (deeper)models.” A deeper neural network has more layers of artificial neurons. This finding is particularly interesting given that Tesla hired Jim Keller, a microprocessor engineer who previously worked at AMD and Apple, to design custom microprocessors for running deep neural networks. Just as GPUs allow cars,drones, and robots to run deep neural networks that would be infeasible to run in real time using CPUs, custom microprocessors can run much deeper neural networks that would be infeasible to run on GPUs. These deeper neural networks could, in theory, fully exploit much larger datasets...”

I wonder if M3 production will start back today? Wasn't the downtime defined as 3-5 days? So I guess the restart time could have been as early as yesterday, or as late as next Tuesday.
I was just about to ask the same question. I have a buddy who lives in Fremont and has a lot of friends who work at Tesla, and they told him they were projecting to be back to running on Friday, but he said he was told that on Monday, so not sure if line is back up today. Anyone have an update?

really, bc all my past ICE cars over last 5-7 yrs before buying our Tesla's all recommended 91+ octane (here in TX is premium). I think most people would pump recommended octane level. There were a couple time traveling when I had to buy regular unleaded and my vehicle would take a hit in performance.

As others have pointed out, most premium cars require premium, “top tier” gasoline. Now your average joe with his 2000 Honda Civic doesn’t, he buys 87 octane, but he doesn’t buy Tesla vehicles anyhow. He might buy a used Nissan Leaf for $8,000 however. But since we’re talking people who could buy Tesla vehicles, they’re likely putting premium in their vehicles.
