F1 can barely go 50 miles on a set of tires now, power is not the issue ICE race cars may be replaced in 10 yrs, but I doubt it will be due to any performance issues
So, you're saying that it's possible for the cylinders to get so large there are only a few of them? https://twitter.com/i/status/1297044946394865664
Watching analysts finally cluing in that batteries are a key factor in EVs is like watching Homer Simpson realizing that if he loses his dental plan, he'll have to pay for Lisa's braces.
Waiting to see updates from Tuesday before I decide on a Performance 3 or a Plaid S. ;-) So maybe I can report back soon...

Strangely enough out-of-the-blue she asked (I did not mention it) how the SP was doing. We haven’t spoken about it since she called $2,500. I told her it was currently $480 post split. She nodded and blithely said it’s going to $900 and then $100...Johann Koeber 59 | Link ➤ 16 Sep 16:42Just another data point: I ordered another M3 SR+ here in Germany yesterday. The order page says delivery in 5-10 weeks. Long time for me. As in the other quarters, I then called Tesla and asked to match me a car already on its way. The surprising result: all cars in transit are spoken for. No SR...Krugerrand 50 | Link ➤ 15 Sep 12:24A few thoughts: 1) I just finished watching the movie Paycheck, which caused me to reflect more deeply on the implications of knowing the future. My conclusion was that I’m now far less excited about knowing what’s coming for sure particularly if it ends poorly, but even if it ends well a lot of th...Words of HABIT 47 | Link ➤ 15 Sep 11:27Took this photo last night at 7pm, just outside of Toronto. Not a cloud in the sky and one could stare directly into the sun without squinting due to smoke particles from the fires burning in Oregon and California 2,200 miles to the West. This is why I invest wholeheartedly in Tesla. We are all in t...elasalle 44 | Link ➤ 15 Sep 13:54OK All, delete your Tesla App, and download it again ... seems Goldman is tracking downloadsRockster 40 | Link ➤ 15 Sep 21:47This post caught my eye so I went back over the financial statements for Apple and Tesla from 2011 until now to compare their R&D expenditures. Tesla: About $8 billion total R&D expenditures from 2011 through 2020. Apple: About $95 billion during the same time period. I won't deny that Apple has a...BlackS 38 | Link ➤ 15 Sep 14:45{no text}BlackS 36 | Link ➤ 15 Sep 19:45This day in $TSLA history 4 years ago:ggr 36 | Link ➤ 15 Sep 15:59Semi-Mod: the back-and-forth from all parties about million mile battery shall stop now. --ggrZaxxon 36 | Link ➤ 15 Sep 13:43Another new piece of slang, in the spirit of Joe Mode--can we get Tesla to rename neutral to Nikola Mode?
Or Dedham Mass. I went with my son this past Saturday to pick up his new Model Y and the first thing I noticed was the empty showroom except for a Model Y. I mentioned that to one of the Tesla reps and it was clear they were not going to respond.
So better to pay more money for an ICE that is consistently slower? Rather than a Tesla that starts the day much faster and ends the day still faster.
Reading through the article eventually reveals the bias in those claims. The emissions from PHEVs is based on how they are driven. If they are plugged in regularly and driven for around town distances they get very low emissions as they function as a BEV until the charge runs out. I had one prior to buying a Tesla and ran it on pure battery about 80% of the time. The problem is that many people buy these and never plug them in, just driving them as a regular hybrid, because they can get carpool access by owning a PHEV even if they don’t use in properly. My neighbor across the street does that. Blaming the car for it being misused misses the point that the problem is the driver, like blaming a gun for its being used for criminal activity. I gave up my PHEV early because I wanted to drive in electric mode all of the time. That is not an option for a lot of people.
My wife and I having lunch today, at the Decoy restaurant, lake San Marcos; snapped this pic: Thought it was an omen.
If they made the battery cylinders so big that there were only 8 or 12 in an S or X, we could buy a zero emissions 8 or 12 cylinder Tesla.
Pretty much because in a small community like this it's easy to promote conspiracy theories. Personally, I give no credence to these constant cries of "manipulation!!!". Perhaps if people were just as vocal on fast moves up on no news then I'd believe they weren't just being paranoid. But as it stands, when the stock price goes down it's manipulation and when it goes up it's just doing what it's supposed to do. The truth is that apart from anything else, it's a great indicator for people who need to go on ignore. Cuts down on the noise.
We had been planning to trade in our Model 3 for a Model Y, but if they're going to do a Model X interior refresh, we'll get the Model X instead. Any advice on ordering a Model X today and then changing the options to the new ones if they're announced on Battery Day, or else switching to a Model Y? Even if I lose the $100 deposit I would like to be one of the first with the refreshed Model X.
For weeks on end this entire year, people here have accurately predicted the closing share price on Fridays........for weeks. Options trading and MM's pushing the stock one way or the other for their benefit is not conspiracy.
I wouldn't call reporting actual facts collected from the usage of cars bias. The point is that how PHEVs are actually used results is way more emissions than the OEM claims.
I just have to break in, go off topic (sorry) and say this, but that picture of your cat, is ADORABLE
