I don't doubt that this is all true. However, the iQ has "gas car type" styling, with a big hood and boxy shape. A good EV design, IMO, is more aerodynamic, like the Mercedes EQXX.Look again. They don't have they same body.
IQ is 15% more aerodynamically efficient. It is a unibody design. It is using Ultium chassis components. Not body on frame.
The rear is coupe shaped. It looks as if the greenhouse has been "chopped."
They don't share any structural parts or body panels. 100% different.
Did you mean 4680 Model Y and Cybertruck? Tesla's semi uses 2170 cells, for now at least.I am suggesting that the total kWh of Lyriq, Hummer EV, Silverado EV and Brightdrop vans are roughly equal to that of 4680 Model Y and Semi.
As of right now on cars dot com there are 314 new Hummer EVs for sale.
We’re pausing work and limiting spending on construction on the Marshall project while we reassess the business decision, to be confident about our ability to competitively operate the plant.
Wondered where he wentCory Steuben went to Lucid
BYD is like Walmart, no innovation and just pushing for increased sales, taking the low endBYD is still gunning for their (lowered) 3 million goal. Q4 is huge in China, so they've got a shot. They need to average ~310k/month.
Export sales were 28k in September, biggest month by far but still a bit less than 10% of total sales. BEV/PHEV mix was ~53/47, with PHEVs still the majority of domestic sales.
I think BYD will slightly beat Tesla in Q4 BEV sales. They came a lot closer than I expected in Q3. But BYD is much more seasonal, so Tesla will easily move back ahead in Q1 of next year. Tesla will be #1 in 2023 BEV sales by a healthy margin, say 1.8m vs. 1.55m. I expect them to retain the full year crown in 2024, by a slimmer margin.
I realize TMC is a fan club, but some of us Tesla owners have legit issues with FSD. Robotaxi is another similar claim from Musk that was promised years ago and yet to be delivered.Tesla is on another plane, level, 4D chess with Cybertruck, FSD, Robotics, Robotaxi, Emergy, Supercharging
Think about what’s in queue right now;I realize TMC is a fan club, but some of us Tesla owners have legit issues with FSD. Robotaxi is another similar claim from Musk that was promised years ago and yet to be delivered.

BYD and others are starting to crush everyone in UK selling them back rhe MG and the Atto 3Tesla isn't perfect, but they are ahead of everyone else in some key areas: production volume, range, and fast charging. Tesla has demoed a lot of things that haven't been delivered, and the CEO has made quite a few very cringe worthy statements and dome some questionable things in the last year or two on top of that.
In most of the developed world all new cars are too expensive for a large chunk of the population. In the US the average age of a car on the road is over 12 years old and only something like 60% of the people buying new cars struggle to pay for it. Teslas have come down in price, but they are still a bit more expensive than the average car.
China has a very small used car market because their car market is still undergoing initial expansion, so there are a lot of very cheap entry level cars on the market. BYD is aiming for that market and doing well there. BYD would have to make changes to sell most of their line up in developed countries which would make their cars more expensive, but they probably will be among the cheapest cars on the market when they do break out of China. Right now they don't need to sell a lot of cars outside of China because the domestic market is buying up their entire supply.
Think about what’s in queue right now;
V12 FSD, Optimus, Highland in usa, CT, Semi, now MY refresh in usa, Powerwall 3, Neuralink Human trial, Lithium Refining, v4 supercharging, NACS adapter and non Tesla charging, Magic Dock, VPP, etc
Slow and steady it’s getting there
Competition are struggling more:
Merc level 3 is very limited in parameters of use
Ford cuts back on Lightening manuf numbers
Rivian switching focus to R1S
Lucid and Fisker numbers still low
Boston Dynamics still just dogs
UAW strike driving up labor costs
GM has Ultium production problems
Toyota is still not there yet with EVs
Etc
Btw, Tesla is now in rhe Magnificent 7
The beauty of this forum is a good debateFSD V12 - may or may not finally "work" as promised 7 years ago. Thought 1m robotaxis would be earning their owners $30k/year "for sure" by 2020?
Optimus - does not exist, no pricing announced, no launch date announced, etc. It's an R&D project.
Highland - it's a mid-model refresh. Every OEM does this.
CT - unveiled 4 years ago, has been pushed back a bunch, delivery event was supposed to happen in Q3 and didn't.
Semi - they cobbled together a few dozen for Pepsi and apparently haven't produced anymore since? Thought production was supposed to begin in 2019?
MY refresh in USA? You mean the re-released SR variant?
What does the Neuralink human trial have to do with Tesla or BEV competition?
There may be a gulf there over the competition, but you're also allowed to apply some critical thinking to Tesla's pipeline as well.
