Ofcourse, anything can happen ... but a lot of countries have announced ban of fossil fuel cars. Some cities/provinces are even more aggressive, starting in 2025.
Phase-out of fossil fuel vehicles - Wikipedia
Britain to ban sale of all diesel and petrol cars and vans from 2040
Indian Govt. Bans Petrol And Diesel Cars On The Road From 2030
France plans to ban all new petrol and diesel cars by 2040
Why not add a chat function?MODERATOR NOTE:
There are a strangely large number of supremely low-quality posts showing up. Not just people trying to be cute, and not just mischievous posters spreading malice, but real drivel.
If you can't post something of value, sit on your hands, please. If you want a silly chat group, there are plenty of other locations on the internet, so I have been told. Real comic relief - to an extent - always is welcome.
And in case you haven't noticed....I'm back.
Advanced Summon and Autonomous Parking?So what do we make of this?

I disagree. Track times are per lap, it doesn't matter to me if 5 hard laps aren't possible. If single lap times are comparable, then it's a comparable car.
I've taken mine out several times pre-track mode, it was a fine experience. Maybe not a great dedicated track car, but neither is a brand new M3 really. I don't know where you are getting your idea that you can only do 1 or 2 runs. Even without track mode I was able to complete 5 laps on my local track, laps 4 and 5 were just power limited.
Of course we all know that here.To date we haven't seen any EV that begins to approach any of Tesla's current models, mostly because they're bastardised ICE with a motor and some batteries. Where do I see Tesla's advantages:
- Frunk, both for cargo and safety
- Trunk, just blows all other EV's into the weeds - OK, they need an M3 form with a hatch, but that will partially be resolved with the MY
- Range, nothing else gets close
- Performance, nothing else gets close
- Software/Hardware integration, ditto
- OTA - is anyone else doing this, at all?
- Charging infrastructure, guess what...
- And yes, FSD, that's not to shabby ether and improving all the time
Where they do need to improve, and I've said this constantly for the last 5 years, is the fit, finish and quality of interiors, but that's it, just that.
Cool, we went gween...
So now reports (Fred Alert) of a Model S/X refresh with new motors and 2170 batteries as soon as June. Potentially even with an interior refresh at the same time. With this I think Tesla would easily ramp S/X demand back to 25k+ per quarter.
Panasonic better hurry up and ramp GF1 cell lines to capacity! If this report is true, I wonder what Panasonic will do with its 18650 cell lines in Japan. Anyone think these old 18650 lines could be adapted to 2170? It looks like half the 18650 lines were not operational in Q1 given S/X production levels, so maybe they had a chance to start adapting half the cell lines already.
If this story is untrue, expect Elon to deny it quickly. This will further kill S/X sales until the refresh is released.
Is that your recipe for an aphrodisiac?Einhorn needs to be crushed.
If this is true, then I'll gladly eat raven
BTW, you forgot to preface that with the words "Fred Alert"![]()
FWIW, EPA docs imply 17.73 Wh per cell.
The genomics stocks it contains are being clobbered despite no news that I can find. ARKG (-4.7%) which is devoted to genomics is being especially hard it. I suspect that at least one institution is unloading its genomics holdings.
I'm calling my shot now, GF4 will be in Gdansk, Poland.
Low taxes, cheaper labor, seaport.
Can see Sweden from your house.
Based on 78.3 kWh / 4416 cells. But as I said, EPA test data sheets are full of weird stuff so I don't treat their numbers as gospel.Is this a figure based on the full range, without 'voluntary' reduction in EPA range?
Another advantage is the EU political support Poland could provide: with no significant domestic automaker Poland could be an EU member that would prevent most EU level Volkswagen/BMW/Mercedes shenanigans that Tesla would certainly be exposed to if the GF4 was in Germany.
The proposed German EV incentives with a cut-off at 4.65m car length, blatantly excluding the Model 3 which is 3.69m long? ... That's a slap in the face for GF4 in Germany, IMHO.
Due to its population size Poland is one of the strongest 'new' members in the European Union.
Yeah, but only if you are member of the Sarah Palin family!![]()
