Trying to be less wrong
This is why selling to Hertz was a bad idea. The wait time for new Teslas is going to double, if not triple, from all the new demand. The new customers will get tired of waiting for Tesla to deliver and never consider buying again. This is the beginning of the end.I am thinking along the same line. As someone who has given thousands of people a ride in my Tesla, for most of them their first time in the car, I often summarize with the warning they should be ready to buy before driving one, lest they have happen what happened to me. (Thanks @roblab !)
I can assure you the majority of the general public have little knowledge, or carefully implanted false knowledge, of EVs in general and Tesla in particular even today. It's changed a bit from 3 years ago, but it's not even close to being over 50% yet. Having a veteran owner with 175k miles under his belt talk about it goes a long way: driving the car/spending a few days with it will go even further.
Up to today I didn't think being production constrained would outlast Berlin and Austin being fully ramped. Now I'm not so sure.

250k Shanghai + 250-300k Fremont if the talked about increased capacity happens
Tesla could shift Y production to Austin later in the year and switch more Fremont to 3 I guess too

That's not entire true, well, I guess it's technically true but THERE IS FLEET DISCOUNT - it was always there, so, I guess technically it's correct, Hertz paid as other fleet customers

Elon just tweeted they paid retail price
Can you rent one in LA or SF? I think I remember Elon saying the Model S could go in water.

If I did that, I'd stare at the cash balance and say "Where can I put that to earn some interest?". Then I'd eventually buy more TSLA with the cash....so why bother?I must admit I cashed out a small portion of my TSLA today, just a few percent, but enough to get back all the money I have invested in the first place.
Now, effectively, the rest of my TSLA has a cost base of 0*, so no risk to HODL them. No matter what happens from now on, I can't lose money on TSLA.
(so I do not care how you guys define Teslanaire anymore, all my shares are pure profit)
* I know that's not how it works officially, but in my portfolio that's what it means practically.
Note: If we go back to fill that gap between 910-950, I may feel obliged to buy back those shares, though...
So this begs a question for me, and Iām going to embarrass myself here because you are all car people.
I am not a car person. I donāt care about cars, just need to get from Point A to Point B. I donāt own a Tesla yet, but once I secure my retirement Tesla will be my next car. Iāve often thought that I will have to ask one of you Bay Area Tesla enthusiasts to help me figure out my Model 3 when the time comes.
So if I, or someone like me, rents a Tesla from Hertz, are we going to be able to drive it without instruction??

"Starting a second new vehicle line before first is working will divide resources & amplify probability of failure."
Reading between the lines, Elon's saying "yeah, we would have loved to build the CyberTruck line in Austin at the same time as the money-making Y line, but we'd increase the chances both would fail. Sorry - CyberTruck coming late 2022!"
Good. I am counting on it. Today was good start, but I donāt rest until we hit $3000 and then $6000. Yeah Iām greedy too

Big fan of Corey. His targets/resistances are
$1050, $1080 and wait for it....$1218
This is most likely a squeeze of some kind so grab some more popcorn for tomorrow

They really are going to die on the sword of āno demandā still?! Definition of insanity.

Just a hint from someone in fleet sales team

Hertz have a comprehensive info page up, the car has comprehensive video help.
Fundamentally you can get in, and so long as you can figure out putting it into gear (brake + stick shift), just drive it. Like a normal car.

Same way they do toll fees....they bill you later once they get the bill.

We already have a car rental company here that rents tesla out.
They have integrated API calls into their own app for doing most of the features, the cars can SC charge and you get billed at the end of the rental because they have linked the VIN to your rental and know what the SC costs are etc.
Its all really easy

The hot car in North America is the Model Y. There won't more than minimal waiting time with the Model 3.

You can only make this argument if there was a discount. Elon clearly said no discount.
And 6-12 month wait times are just so people think there is demand? Her argument is ridiculous.
