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

So, next gen built in Mexico?

 

[Hiline]

I've seen this before, but having the onboard computer running and testing components as they are produced is seriously next gen stuff. And literally impossible for every other company because they bold their crap "Infotainment" on after the fact.

This is the first time I really appreciate why building an EV from the ground up is so different from modifying an ICE production line to accommodate EV production.

its now "AI day 2: Back n' Business"

 

[FreqFlyer]

Not really. 48v has been in a number of cars for the last 5 years or so.

DIdn't Audi do this? I know they have been talking about it for awhile. Its not a new idea, everyone in the biz knows its better but have been dragging their feet to move to 48V. Congrats for Tesla for moving to it.

I should just listen to these presentations biannually and I will save myself 2+ hours a day (everyday) reading TMC forum.

"Made the decision to remove the sunroof on Model S because we modeled and tracked it and no one was using it".

I miss my sunroof TBH.

Translated: “Removed the sunroof because of way too many repairs due to bad rail design”. I still have a functional sunroof on my 2015 Model S but only because I clean and lubricate the rails yearly…

“No one was using it” - maybe because it broke after the warranty period and is way too expensive to fix…

No mention of the Giga factories yet.

They can do this because they're not counting on (as many) third party suppliers for integrated components. 48v will virtually guarantee that they won't be able to get a component off the shelf today.

Hyundai and Jeep. Mild hybrids, in particular tend to be 48v.

Those look like CGI...

 

[Thekiwi]

JEEBUS!!!!!

This is the scariest/coolest thing I have ever seen.

(Optimus building Optimus)

 

[Singuy]

Holy F! I thought that was CGI!

 

[JRP3]

Optimus building itself, were doomed

 

[SOULPEDL]

Did you all see that!!! Robots making robots!

?? I've had sunroofs in my last several cars and virtually never opened them. Too noisy, and too much sun load. Much prefer glass roof, with more daylight, more head room and no rattles.

I haven’t seen a plan, just a rehash of previous Tesla ‘days’.

Underwhelmed so far.

His weight looks good, and he might be lifting

I would too, if it didn't result in a searing hot cabin on the sunny days without AC and the boominess inside my Model Y.
