No jk, if the entire supercharging team (a Tesla crown jewel) was laid off as the news claim, you can bet on that if this team ever existed. Ambient lights and front bumper cam are not what will save the demand for new teslas
The rumor couldn't have been stronger. Supposed reliable sources with inside contacts all verifying RGB and camera absolutely coming. Result is supposed reliable source's reputations completely shattered.
That one screen shot with an employee saying they're just working through the last of the current stock bumpers before they start installing the already lined up bumpers with cam ready to go.
None of it ever happened. I don't think it was killed. I think it was never a thing in the first place.
I bought a factory key off of ebay still sealed in the bag for $82.
Laying off the supercharger team seems like the last human resources they should have laid off. Having opened up the network to other manufacturers, they should be accelerating deployment and expansion. Dumbest decision I've seen in years or it's a sign of far more serious internal issues that we have yet to see.
I thought this rumor was totally nuts until Musk confirmed and confirmed expansion would not proceed at the previous pace when what needs is to accelerate. My suspicion is the way they'll deal with this is to up kwh prices on all superchargers to pressure folks to charge elsewhere when possible.

There are more decisions that are hard to understand... canceling USS and not introducing a front bumper camera at the same time for the top of the line Model... and then shaving another 2000 bucks of the price???. Man what would have been possible to make the car more attraktive with 2000 bucks (USS and camera and massage seats and nice rims and lane warning indication and ambient lights)

I think I have two laying around. If I can sell them for $60 plus shipping, DM me.

56 Billion would go a long way to add new features that would increase demand and keep people employed on the MS line and supercharger team.
"Hard core" would be for the Board to stand up to Musk.

My Feb 2022 MSLR came with two fobs. There they sit, with the battery protect strips still installed, on the shelf where I put them when I came home after picking up the new car.
And where would that $56B come from? (Tesla wasn't giving Elon $56B in cash, it was all stock options where Elon would have to pay Tesla to execute them.)
And given current stock prices it wouldn't be $56B anymore... (Not to mention the ~50% taxes.)
I definitely used it before the UWB update, the phone key was too hit or miss then. But now it's nearly 100% reliable.

I bought one off eBay as well, by the time it arrived I realized I prefer to use my phone.
I didn’t realize the phone would work so well.
Mine came with 2 keys, I fully intended to use them as I did with my previous MS and expected the phone key to be flaky, but it has worked great for ~3 years and I'm so glad to not have to carry any keys anymore
