BTW installation costs for my proposed Powerwall is a crazy $6000. Double what they say is the max on their website.
No Powerwalls for me.

Perhaps CR got huge donations from labor unions, fossil fuel and ICE manufacturers. They sure as well aren't serving the best interests of their members, such as myself.Awesome, thanks. Have you watched that CR video of the 3 driver/testers sitting around a table just shaking their heads at how frightened they were when they tried this option?
They all claimed it tried to change lines into a left lane with a fast-approaching car and they had to override it, and it was so stressful and unsafe. Of course no video. And all other video bloggers have raved about how safe and conservative the lane changes, ESPECIALLY into an adjacent lane with a fast-approaching vehicle in that lane.
My intent is not to drag the investment forum into an AP discussion, but to ask what is going on with CR. Are they making this stuff up, or are they just totally clueless about using the AP? Or maybe the AP is programmed to behave more aggressively in Connecticut? If they are clueless, is there someone that can get them to do a proper test with video? I sure would like to see CR become at least not hostile to Tesla, which they seem to be lately.
Any good tire shop is fine. Remember first and foremost the Model 3 is a car. How often did you take your old cars to the dealer for tires???Any reason at all not to bring your Tesla to any tire shop? I am guessing they may not know what tires are appropriate or stock them, but the work of installing must be same. What about alignment?
Teslas need so little regular maintenance that this seems like the main thing left.
As did lucid, fisker and others. There are several orders of magnitude of difficulty between creating a cool model car to making them en masse. If EM tells you it's insanely hard to make cars and they are still figuring it out after ten plus years, then Rivian has huge barriers in front of them. I am not even going to get into the battery supply/manufacturing problem.
IMO Tesla will crush them.
I live in Michigan. The MOST Anti-Tesla state in the US. Closest service center is about 3 hours away. Fortunately mobile service is allowed. I have had my Model S for about 2.5 years. Have yet needed to go to the service center. Will be taking it to Toledo in a couple weeks for just general maintenance and a few minor issues. Service is not as big of problem as some like to make it out to be.
Replaced tires on MX recently at Walmart: the skill pieces: jacking, balance and torque, were and are fine. Price? Small. MTCents JAny good tire shop is fine. Remember first and foremost the Model 3 is a car. How often did you take your old cars to the dealer for tires???

The others didn't have the factory or financial backing that Rivian has. I'm not as high on Rivian as many, but it's ridiculous to dismiss them out of hand without knowing their background and current situation. Also, I don't get the sense they have delusions about Alien Dreadnoughts and teaching Toyota how to manufacture cars. Not to say they'll have it easy, but don't bank on a debacle.As did lucid, fisker and others.....

This means the potential cost of the $35k model 3 with material and labor gives Tesla a 20% profit margin. This is splendid news. $18k for parts $10k for labor give Tesla $7k of profits per standard range M3 sold.

I finally got a quote on a single PW in a simple installation for $19,150.
Yes, seems like. But even this is too much to handle. Three ships yet to reach EU. Potentially three to China. Again a wave of shorts only that mostly it will happen over 20-25 days than 10 days last Q. Still going to be tight. Plus the US Canada deliveries need to happen too.Still no ships past #12 on the docket. Is that it for the quarter?
Implying that Tesla does not have a strong project leader for the software team. Which is not OK.And from my time as a coder - we will prioritize and enjoy creating new functionality above doing bug fixing. So unless the project has a strong project leader bugs will simply not be fixed.
I'm sorry the COGS of the SR+ is $38-39k? Shouldn't there be more discussion of this?
Tesla didn't deliver enough SR+ in Q1 to have a big impact on gross margin.Shouldn't you be actually showing how 38k is more likely than 34k, than just thinking it is?
Hint : You need very high margin on LR, very little difference between COGS of SR+ and LR to get to 20% overall margin if SR+ is being sold at cost.
