I really hope that was not the "tweaking" that held up this event...Sawyer Merritt on twitter posted that one of the surprises is a new game that takes advantage of the new AMD infotainment platform...so one surprise down

Your avatar does that for you...You don't have to single me out like this.
I think it would be great if Elon came out in a kilt!It would be great if this turned out to be a Plaid event, and not just an S Plaid event.
What are the chances that range will be significantly higher? I have a CT and Roadster on order because I wanted the 500 mile range. The 280 mile range on my 2019 X adds too much time to our road trips. I'd get a new X in a heartbeat if range was bumped to the mid 400s.
Looks as though I may have been a year or two early in my prediction. However, my number of $30k was pre-split vs. post split below.It appears we are stuck at $3,000 pre-split like we were a few years back at $300. $3,000 is the new $300.
That means in about 5 years, $30,000 will be the new $3,000 or $6,000 post split.
Could do worse.
He also said that the game was just one of the surprises and that the “game” was a relatively small surpriseI really hope that was not the "tweaking" that held up this event...
I understand the sentiment about not stealing the fire from the Model S, but seems to feel that simply delivering Model S is just a relief from the poorly executed transition to a refreshed Model S. To me it is phew that OK they are selling the S again. I am not excited about the car. Dont get me wrong I have a new LR on tentative order (have to get approval from the boss aka wife to go through with it) to replace our 2015. Event doesnt change anything about that order. I am simply excited that Model S deliveries are happening again and we will see in quarterly reports again.i don't think Tesla has a problem with upstaging the main subject of a presentation. The Semi reveal was upstaged by the "one more thing" Roadster reveal. Battery Day was upstaged by the "one more thing" Plaid reveal.
This won't be popular but I'm not so sure. Tesla is blowing away the competition. Would a BMW with a generic battery (from a BMW factory) compete with a 4680 Tesla? No. They might be best saving their money, downsize their ICE staff, watch a few Munro videos and jump in a few years from now when the supply chain are 80% as good as Tesla.R.I.P. BMW.
I'm sure by the late 2020s when BMW wants to get into the scene with solid state batteries there are going to leapfrog everyone and win back all their market share they lost over the last decade /s
Why BMW Won’t Build Its Own Gigafactory
As automakers rush ahead with a lithium-ion arms race, BMW is looking further ahead.www.thedrive.com
That's going to go over well with the German unions. But assuming they can do the downsizing, it will be almost impossible to build up their panache again after they've relegated themselves to a niche player with no development. Shareholders will also start dumping shares. Also the supply chain will be totally different because the specialty parts of the supply chain are just too different. Tires and wheels are about the only exception.This won't be popular but I'm not so sure. Tesla is blowing away the competition.

Warren Redlich mentioned in his ten minute boring tunnel video that the one minute Vegas loop ride takes about thirty minutes if you were to walk the same distance in the convention center.The Vegas Loop is a hit with the people who have been using it. Great publicity for Tesla and for many people their first trip in a Tesla vehicle.
The Boring Company’s LVCC Loop gets positive reviews from first public passengers
The Boring Company’s LVCC Loop has received reviews from its first round of public passengers, and they are quite positive. Based on comments from attendees of the ongoing World of Concrete 2021 convention, Elon Musk’s underground transport tunnels are very useful and well appreciated. The LVCC...www.teslarati.com
As much as I'd like that to be the case I'm pretty sure tonight will be all about the new S & X and the ramp is there for one or the other to drive up on stage and Elon to climb out of it to start the festivities.Ok so comments.
I'l sign up for the closer footage soon but the under covers car appears just to be a chassis unit, nothing special.
I absolutely am not planning on them unveiling anything, HOWEVER, they clearly are going to drive something onto the stage. Would it make sense to drive a new Model S on the stage that everyone has already seen and they're already all over the place? My bet on them unveiling something, or showing off an updated Cybertruck or Roadster just went from 5% to 30%. "UPC code"is clearly rumble strips for quality testing. I drove over something similar at the GM proving grounds while testing cars in the past.
To show off the climbing prowess of the plaid Cybertruck.Nice shots!
Anyone know what the purpose is of that paved ski hill area surrounded by red baby gates on 3 sides ?
It's right behind where they have the stage set up; shown at 3:33 in the video.
The only thing that would derail TSLA as a 'no brainer' investment is essentially the demand problemWarren Redlich mentioned in his ten minute boring tunnel video that the one minute Vegas loop ride takes about thirty minutes if you were to walk the same distance in the convention center.
When discussing tesla I would ask people how much they would pay to take a ten minute ride from the Valley to downtown LA and skip the hour or more they typically spend in traffic.
Over the next decade FSD, boring tunnels, and battery advancements make TSLA a no brainer investment.

Ya, that had me on a goose chase looking for him as well. Then I laughed when I saw it was in the opening screen.Hey - FYI your youtube link to Patreon (on this video description) goes to patreon.com/gabeincal but your Patreon appears to be at Tesla Fremont Flyover is creating Tesla Drone Videos | Patreon
According to Google the festival is on Monday. Does anyone know if it is standard to take 5 days off for it?
Don't mean to P on your bonfire but these postings (or other very similar ADAS testing roles) have been on the Tesla careers site for at least 6 months.
To be honest if they can't get FSD working in the tunnels within the next few months that would be a terrible sign. These are the most controlled spaces possible. A roomba could manage.Next decade? I'd like for Tesla to fast track FSD, full autonomy for the Boring Teslas in the next year. The talk/free advertising it would generate would be astounding.
I only remember the ADAS *ENGINEERING* roles from some months ago. That one is still listed i.e. for Berlin. Like ... be fluent in C++, have background in automotive etc. pp.Don't mean to P on your bonfire but these postings (or other very similar ADAS testing roles) have been on the Tesla careers site for at least 6 months.
