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

It still makes sense for small vehicles when moving to higher voltage and also 48V can produce more consistency and simplicity in manufacturing process. If it does not reduce costs, including allowing more Supercharger throughput, they probably will not do it. Anyway, my disagree was based on making a generic assumption that status quo remains. That is never a good assumption with Tesla.

Tesla drivers lose US class action bid in battery range cases
Tesla owners who accused it of falsely advertising estimated driving ranges for its electric vehicles must pursue their claims in individual arbitrations rather than banding together in proposed class action lawsuits, a federal judge ruled. U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland...

Pretty plain from that angle. Hardly the stuff dreams are made of.

Agreed. In the beginning Hans mentioned "some other top secret stuff" behind the curtains. I hope they have more than the$25K car behind there as Tesla is large enough now that they need to get beyond developing 1 complete new model at time. Elon mentioned one time that he thinks they need about 10 models to cover the market. They are up to 7 (S,3,X,Y, CT, Roadster, $25K) if you leave out the Semi. Personally think they need a small CT for markets outside NA, a van, and maybe a CT based SUV.

I don’t know which company you’re talking about, but Tesla IS doing more than one vehicle at a time AND running a few other companies within itself expected to be larger than its car division.
You realize that OEMs send most of their work out to other companies, right?
OT OT OT
uh, not so at 26.6 deg N, perhaps further north though
my 644 sq ft array, 11,655w (DC) derated 0.85 to 9,907w (AC)
17,400kwh/yr (actual for 5 years) x 67.6 (to scale up to an acre (43,560 sq ft) = 1.17MWdc/yr <===
Hanwha Q.Peak Duo panels, Enphase IQ7 inverters panels are at least 6 years old and 1-2 have a bit of shading, fixed tilt, 23 face East, 14 face South so I could get a bunch more, like a 1,000kwh extra/yr perhaps
(admittedly those pesky hurricanes, Irma, Ian, (and to be named in 2024 hopefully not) do cause a LOT of qualms and trepidations) and 15 days loss of production.....

I don't think that is true. Their inventory, and days on hand, is increase every quarter. They started offering R1 leases because they weren't able to sell enough of them at $80k+. And even at that they are losing tons of money. I think they are close to saturation on the R1s, just like Tesla is close to saturation on the Model S/X. Rivian can expand to other markets, but that is expensive and the opposite of what they need to be doing now. (Selling a higher volume of vehicles you lose money on doesn't help.) Just like I think that right now they need to concentrate on one smaller profitable vehicle, but yet they announced two. They continue to bite off more than I think they can chew.

The problem with higher voltage, is that you need more cell monitoring chips and there is no way around
And although I haven’t been checking recently, they were a major pain in the butt to get on the peak or the supply cash, so unless you have a really good reason for it, as you said, make no sense
Cybertruck is an example in which with the charging performance we saw this far, it makes no sense for it to use higher voltage, this is another great point that it will support much faster charging times

Rivian shares surge as company reveals new EV models, $2.25 billion in cost savings
The announcements come at a crucial time for Rivian as it attempts to expand its customer base amid slower-than-expected EV sales in the U.S.
www.cnbc.com
The Amazon-backed company has been burning through cash to improve current EV production and narrow losses.
Shifting production of the R2 from the in-development plant in Georgia to the company’s plant in Normal, Illinois, will save $2.25 billion, Rivian said in a press release. It will also allow the vehicle to begin production earlier, it said.
The company said it will pause construction on the Georgia plant, to be resumed “later.”
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
The most popular car in Europe for a looooong time.
