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

[AudubonB]

Buddyroe: Have you an opinion of the Tesla Semi?

 

[Fobble]

It looks like the model X got it on with the model 3 and poof out come the model Y.

Model X (father) + Model 3 (mother) = Model Y (kid)

 

[⚡️ELECTROMAN⚡️]

Agree. I mean, it will probably sell fine, but the models are now all looking rather similar, due to the aerodynamics. Need better battery tech to allow both greater range and to ease up a bit on the gumdrop shape to allow for more diverse body styling.

300 miles is more than enough range. 200 miles range is more than enough for the average person.

This is virtually how every car manufacture builds their product. Take a look at the bmw 3, 4, 5, and 7 series. They look similar, and their suv/crossovers also look similar. Same with recedes, Audi..

none of those are as exact a copy as model 3/y are.

 

[Sancho]

Just ordered MY for my better half. When she wakes up in the morning she’s gonna be pleased it has 7 seats, but she’s gonna be bummed it’s not arriving in the garage until 2021.

 

[AudubonB]

Has anyone figured out where the "10% bigger" dimension is? The only metric I remember being shown tonight is the 66 cuft interior volume - does that work out?

 

[riverFox]

Believe me, they are not going to publish the # of reservations for the MY like they did for M3.

Dont think the demand will be that great. There was not much to talk about MY so they had to fill the presentation with rehash of history and only 5 min. of MY.

I think you missed the point when Elon said the model Y would sell more than the rest of S3X combined!

 

[Todd Burch]

Why do Tesla SUVs have to look like an egg or an oval? Why couldn't they do something like the Nissan Murano or the Lexus RX350? Those are 2 very nice looking SUVs. This thing is horrendous.

Science.

We get it. buddyroe doesn't want one.

Really, we get it.

 

[Krugerrand]

It’s exactly how I expected. Exactly what I want. Can’t get the website to finish my order!! I am now envisioning 32 $2500 credit card charges showing up tomorrow.

 

[jhm]

Neither of those are good looking cars.

All Crossovers look like they ate something they're allergic to

Humans?

 

[AudubonB]

I also stand by my pre-reveal conjecture: those 6th & 7th seats are extremely unlikely to be appropriate for most NoAm adults. I'd say likely to be okay for junior high school age and below. To the extent that's correct, is it an appropriate CapEx investment to offer this option? Honest question; I've no good sense how that would pencil out.

I think they need to refine the front before production. Make edges flatter and sharper for a more aggressive look.... kinda disappointed in how similar it looks to 3 in the front. It works on the 3 but not the Y imho

Back is good.

It'll be a popular option in Utah

Try it in four dimensions, not two dimensions.

Love that profile view!

I like the back and the sides but the front is still meh to me as well

 

[Johann Koeber]

The presentation about Tesla history was good. Helps set the record straight for the public.

MY reveal somewhat less than expected. But did the trick for me nonetheless.

Reservation secured.

Was surprised that the reservation page included the full config. Config screens all done and ready. Including pricing. Wonder if that will hold up until the actual delivery or if it will go through changes in the next 1 1/2 years leading up to delivery (probably).

 

[Freder Reeve]

the silver color is calling out to me, with that blacked out chrome mmm mmm

 

[Pezpunk]

the car looks great. remember how laughably awkward everyone thought the Panamera looked at first? only because we were used to the same shape in a slightly different aspect ratio? the Y is a lot better proportioned than the Panamera.

 

[TDog]

Increasingly convinced this car’s best side is the rear — I’m digging it from this angle. Like the 3, I bet it looks better in person.

I agree. It’s interesting because I think the Model X is ugliest from the rear.
