Yeah. We know there will be changes to the S and all the other cars over time, so stopped clocks are eventually predictive of the time. Eventually there will be giant changes. Could S sales decrease so much that Tesla stops making them? It's not impossible.
Sorry you feel this way, again my info is only as good as the source and who would have guessed that with Elon as a CEO that time lines would change, other cars and projects would be promoted at the expense of the S and X. Tesla as a young and overextended company does not have unlimited resources. Did I move the goalposts with the raven refresh? Told you about the new suspension as well didn’t I? We just have to wait and see how accurate the info is about the interior refresh. Sorry you feel cheated some how but really I would love to trade my early 2015 P85DL tomorrow for a Raven with a new interior but that is not going to happen. So I am disappointed for sure but I love my car and will drive it for another 6 months happily. And lighten up Francis ( let’s see who pegs that movie quote)
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I really don’t understand shoot the messenger attitude. Don’t need the hassle. I’m a big fan of Tesla’s even though I own and restore a host of ICE cars. ( a BMW Z8, 74 BMW 3.0 CSI , 59 Isetta 600, 31 model A Ford, 40 fiat topolino) they are the past and I look toward the future so much so that I’m putting in a solar array with battery backup so I can charge my car, power my house and be pretty much off the grid. That being said maybe I will just keep the info to myself and you can pm me from time to time and the haters can go screw.
You already got your battery/motor /suspension upgrade with the raven. Any thing beyond that regarding just those items I have no idea
That 3 motor business was not from me. The revised body work( active aero front and rear, reworked lights) was slated to come at the same time as the interior. My speculation here is that the new interior plus those exterior changes are taking more time to implement and get right. Add to that that the pickup will be announced later this year, the Y is coming on line, the roadster was promised next year and there is continuing work on the semi. My guess is tesla figured they bought a few months of buzz and sales with the Raven upgrade so they could afford to back up the interior a few more months.
There was no battery upgrade with the Raven. That is still in the works. Battery upgrade should yield a 400 mile car, but going from current to 400 isn't a big deal.
I really appreciate the info you provide. A while back I was doubtful about your information on the configuration and placement of the new permanent magnetic motor, but you turned out to be absolutely right about that and the existence of Raven in general. I hope you continue to inform the community here.
