Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

[KarenRei]

Ok.....if it's going to only be 39-40k for the Y...…..the need to state and re-state and state it one more time(or 10 more times) that only the high end trims will be available for the first 6-10 months.

It's surely not going to be released "imminently" regardless. I remember a job ad just a month ago for someone to build an alumium foundry for the Model Y at GF3. And guidance isn't for "imminent" production.

Do we get a Model Y section on this site now?

Yeah, IMHO expect end-of-year 2020 for the model Y, and 2021 for the SR options.

I'm talking only high end trims and long range available for the first 6-10 of the Model Y release(which likely won't be till 2020)

Just to avoid the negative backlash that the 35k model 3 wasn't available at launch

 

[MarcusMaximus]

So long range FWD about $52k. That, with AP+FSD is probably the spec I would want, so $60k. Time to start saving...

 

[KarenRei]

I think he will say the SR option will come out later (probably 2021) than the P/LR/etc options will.

Also, what do you guys think the over/under is on the truck being revealed too?

I'll give it 75% yes, 25% no.

ED: Already proven wrong!

[StarFoxisDown!]

I mean if Elon wanted to just lay it all out there and cause a auto industry panic he shows model Y.....one more thing and shows S/X interior refresh...…...one more things Semi and Roadster come out with updated specs and then finally one last thing and the pickup comes out.

I think this site would be down for a week if that happened.

 

[BornToFly]

He tweeted that Pick up reveal later this year!

 

[KarenRei]

Geez, what's he going to say next? "Oh, and Starship Hopper launches next Friday, our first production Semi just rolled of the line, and mass production of the Solar Roof at GF2 starts in mid-April"?

 

[jerry33]

……………...watch the stock goes down 5% on Monday lol

It's okay, I have a bit more powder to burn.

 

[JustAaronnoraA]

If it only costs $1k more to manufacture, no.

Hell, if the rumors of a simplified wiring harness are true it may even cost less to manufacture than a 3...

You have to consider R&D cost running extra model at the expense of M3 sale volume just to name a few. Also ppls holding out for MY instead of placing an order on M3 now or heck even MX.

 

[Fact Checking]

Am I weird that I'm actually more excited about finally seeing Supercharger V3. Any speculation on where this mystery 1st one will be.

Location of the first V3 Supercharger: California maybe, planet Earth definitely?

(Although with Elon you never know. )

If there is a "one more thing," I'm going to put my money on a imminent S refresh. New packs, interior tweaks, ext.

A terrible chill has just blown through the C-suite chambers in Munich, Stuttgart, and Ingolstadt....

Correction: a terrible chill has just blown through the C-suite chambers of Munich, Stuttgart, Ingolstadt, Wolfsburg, Detroit, Dearborn, Auburn Hills, Göteborg, Tokyo, Turin, Seoul, Yokohama, Paris, Hamamatsu, Fuchū and Whitley.

 

[MarcusMaximus]

Yeah, IMHO expect end-of-year 2020 for the model Y, and 2021 for the SR options.

Guidance was production by end of year and volume production by end of 2020.

Don’t get too excited just yet. He might say they need to lay-off production workers, and that we will have to build the car ourselves. Like a build-a-bear workshop for adults

That's why - never give odds when the story is fast developing.

Ditto.

Can't wait for the Y reveal. Performing finger calisthenics so I can get my reservation in before all you hosers.

I'm hopeful that they are clear this time that the car will start with high end configs. We know that's the case, but I really don't want yet another series of articles bemoaning Tesla's inability to get a base model out quickly.

Also hopeful that the reservation fee is a bit higher this time.

I mean, he *did* already suggest such a thing a while ago.

I find it delightfully naive that you think such an announcement will have any impact on said future articles.
