But think of the $$s. Megapacks sell for more than $1M, so that's $10B annual revenue, or more. Still only a fraction of the auto side, but starting to be very significant given that most people ignore the contribution from Tesla Energy.Yes - not getting much attention by analysts. 10,000 Megapacks is 39GWh of storage. In the past 12 months, Tesla has done 5GWh (and this number includes Powerwalls). Going from 5GWh to 39+ GWh is quite amazing.
Tesla needs another Megafactory (like Lathrop) in central or eastern US for improved logistics. Maybe an announcement we will hear soon as well.
Just looked through the German TMC equivalent for delivery reports - pictures of lines of people waiting for their car and one report of 237 cars scheduled to be handed to their owner at one location in a single day. People generally happy with car quality from the posts I read. Really looking forward to the numbers!Lots of happy people on the Benelux FB pages, happy that they can still get their Tesla today or tomorrow, in part because of the free 10000km supercharging. Adding all kinds of rumours and FB messages together, there must be many hundreds of cars still delivered today or tomorrow in Belgium and The Netherlands. All coming from the last two ships that arrived a couple of days ago in Zeebrugge.
Who's John Galt?Now waiting for the day @StealthP3D makes an entire page-long post Atlas Shrugged John Galt style.
Photo??Just some anecdotal evidence of the end of the year delivery rush. Picked up my MX Plaid today. Aside from some fit and finish issues it's a pretty good build.
Tesla recently leased a very large building in Holzgerlingen (near Stuttgart/DE) to serve as a delivery center. There were half a dozen Plaids ready for delivery plus 100-150 Model 3 & Y's standing inside. My guess is that they will try to deliver them today and tomorrow.
Car carriers were coming and going and there was a steady stream of customers welcomed by a friendly and young group of Tesla employees.
Not sure when I’d expect to see large numbers of <$80k Cybertrucks when a Model Y LR is $66k.Lots of talk about the model Y and will it/will it not entirely fit within the IRA but..
People... What about the cybertruck? Assuming the IRA is law at least through 2023-2024, then a BIG chunk of Tesla's production is likely to be Cybertruck. Thats the one that really matters?
Also, they can adjust the product mix to favor the models that DO suit the IRA. TBH I have long wanted Tesla to take more of an interest in the lower end variants of the model 3. We are still lacking a truly affordable car. Get that model 3 price down with front/rear castings and 4680s and demand for it will (I suspect) be rather good.
Indicators is easy peasy- use your sense of touch (like braille) to find the line in center. Indicator on top then is right and below is left.Photo??
Mine was pretty flawless too - had it two weeks already and loving it. Being pedantic I have a small list of things to be addressed, but the build-quality is dramatically improved from previous generation
How are you getting long with the yoke? I really like it, much more than a traditional steering-wheel, but actuating the indicators when turning is a bit tricky - this could be solved by Tesla implementing a "Hey Tesla" Siri type thing, and you could tell it "Hey Tesla, indicate left"
HAH, you got that one completely wrong. GM puts out a sandbagged goal then totally misses it!Tesla should make it clear that they are not going to provide a sandbagged forecast which can be easily exceeded (as many other companies do),
Is it just me that finds a subsidy being applied because car A is heavier than car B? Should be the opposite, efficiency should be rewarded, base it on form factor/passenger/load capacity, but weight??
To be fair, I only discovered the ridge today, which sure makes it easier, but when turning still not obviousIndicators is easy peasy- use your sense of touch (like braille) to find the line in center. Indicator on top then is right and below is left.
There is no need to look at all…

Dual motor likely to come under 80k assuming a decent upward adjustment from release day prices. Someone correct me, but that was originally ~50KNot sure when I’d expect to see large numbers of <$80k Cybertrucks when a Model Y LR is $66k.
Maybe <$80k is doable with single motor variants, but even then it feels like a stretch considering pricing across the lineup. People seem to expect the tri and quad motors to run $100k+.
Elon was referring to FSD capable cars on the road, not purchases of FSD.General question: it’s reported that around 285k teslas is the take rate for FSD/have FSD.
Elon stated that by 12/31/2022, over 1 million teslas would have FSD beta active.
Is the reporting wrong or is someones math off?

The market should have enough brain cells to realize that unforeseen Covid shut-downs are not boiled into future looking guidance statements. And if they do lack those 3 brain cells, that is not a problem with TSLA guidance.but generally the market expects guidance, especially guidance the company explicitly repeats on every earnings call all year- to be fairly accurate-
This would make for a great year indeed, @MC3OZ !Mostly execution and growth :-
Continuing to add to the pile of cash when possible during a recession. paying a dividend or doing a share buyback once they are certain any risk of a recession has definitely passed.
- Doing a good job of all product ramps.
- Introducing new products.
- Continuing to gain market share in automotive and energy.
- Good progress on FSD.
- New factories, including energy storage battery factories.
I don't mind increasing the size of the board and/or adding more diversity,
For the CEO role, I expect Elon to make the final call, and he may be willing to step back into a lower profile.
Elon is absolutely necessary for new product development/product improvement, and the more time he can spend working on that the better.
If there is a recession, I rate earnings in a recession way higher than earnings at any other time. So all I want is profit and continuing to grow the cash pile, rather than a loss and eating into the pile of cash. That profit and cash improvement can be very small.
I’d expect a dual motor Cybertruck to cost a good chunk more than a dual motor Model Y but who knows, and who knows when we’d see significant numbers of them rather than the more expensive tri and quad motor variants they will lead production withWas originally $50k.
I seriously doubt they are raising the base price of the dual motor Cybertruck more than 60%. Misses the whole “Affordability” piece of the Cybertruck which was arguably the big sell.

Now, explain to me why you do not get into a huff when guidance is exceeded.
What an amazingly inane discussion
If they needed to make pricing adjustments to qualify for subsidies, I could see Tesla lowering price by, say, $5K if the buyer signs up for 3 years of FSD monthly subscription, like the cell phone model of subsidizing hardware with services.
