Ture, same for Norway.
"Estimert rekkevidde som konfigurert: 723 km"
Does not happen at the US site, so I guess this is some kind of error.

Yeah this a bit weird since my own plaid should be about 610 displayed when charged to 100%?
202$ in pre market, without the macros being to bad. MM or just "finally" a red day..? Hmm

Let's hoping we end the week GREEN. Page 20k, wow!
The premarket price is very close to 200.00
About what is luxury - in my view no other brand can give me the luxury of getting to my destination more relaxed since the autopilot is doing the most of the driving - even here in Europe with the old autopilot this is a great advantage.

Perhaps it is a task finished. Sent about the time data review with NASA of the static fire might have been concluded.

Coverage of SpaceX test on live BBC in UK (can't find clip):
It's the 2-2 that I liked most as media is often full of disdain for Elon/Tesla goals. Achieving the "impossible" (even if late) is impressive with regard to SpaceX also helps with Tesla perception and especially trust.
- Positive sentiment, big rocket graphic comparing against Saturn 5 down to Space shuttle.
- Scientist saying she was at a 2016 event where Elon Musk said SpaceX would produce Starship/Booster
- Elon wasn't generally believed, viewed as "Pie in the Sky"
- Elon broke down the job into deliverable chunks/tasks
- SpaceX has delivered so far, flight maybe next month

Still cruising my Model S 70 2015
Who would have thought. Elon has a thing for stamping presses. Maybe a hint for Investor Day... stamping full speed ahead!

Tesla design decisions seem to be validated
Tweet/article over a year old but still relevant. Up to date chips (fewer, more powerful, modern) - better than very old commodity chips where automakers have been pressuring suppliers on costs.
Hints that some car makers considering cylinders for high-power cells & ditching pouch cells eg General Motors doesn’t expect significant U.S. production of EVs until second half of year
*** Ultium marketing seemed to emphasise packing advantages of cuboid cells. I think Mary might be being a tad disingenuous (lying). So Mary Barra says GM is using cylinders NOW in China Lyriqs
New tweet/article - regarding use of Gigapresses including "sources familiar" saying Hyundai are Idra/LK (idra owner) customers.
I look forward to stainless steel origami being lauded in a couple of years.

Not true. They are very practical, as anyone who has child seats to put in will tell you.
Retail investors have been buying TSLA during 2022 and especially Jan 2023, according to Vanda Research, while institutions (and Elon) have been selling.

Only one conclusion - post more often!
Let's get to page 3,000 ASAP! Or at least post 420,000...
Yet Another Luxury Definition: a purchase whose main motive is the (high) price itself. Luxury buyers specifically want their purchase to be seen as something other people cannot afford. The unaffordability must be more important than the quality or any other characteristic of the product/service.
That's what luxury sellers masters. They'll add superfluous things to their products – be it features, quality or quantity – to communicate about the high quality of the product, but the actual message is that the products is exclusive to the wealthiest shoppers. They'll use symbols for that (e.g gold, marble, diamonds…) so the public knows that most people can't afford them. That ultimate audience is more important that the buyers for marketing, because buyers must be sure that their purchases are unaffordable yet desirable to most.
High prices aren't enough as a criteria. The price must be the main differentiator, prohibitive enough to prevent most buyers to afford it.
I don't think Tesla fit that definition (taught in French MBA class on luxury marketing).

Taking a hypothetical example a current Model S sells for 90K, there is a 30% margin, it costs 60K to build. Assume that Tesla can now save $5K on the battery, keeping a 30% margin they could now sell the car for $82.5K, but that price drop makes the car feel less luxurious?
The alternative is to instead spend that $5K on improving the car and keep the $90K price. Better suspension, improved sound proofing, new carpets, some new expensive looking trim. There is a good chance a small amount of money spent wisely can actually improve the car and make it an improved product that seems more luxurious.
A few rounds of incremental improvements and the newer version of the car starts to appeal to existing owners, they can clearly see that the new version is better.
There still isn't a competitor car for around the same price as as a Model S/X which is as good. At this end of the market I am not sure that small price drops unlock additional demand.
Having some higher priced cars helps retain the perception that Tesla is a luxury brand, especially if the higher priced cars look luxurious.
I would probably unlock more repeat buyers because they would have a real reason to upgrade to the latest.
