I disagrees because I don't think it is correct. Also, I don't like idle speculation on changes that depress current demand....and/or they want to clear stock inventory before some sort of hardware updates...

There is corruption everywhere. Do you think all the Wall Street corruption has not cost Tesla any money ?That might have been our Tesla investment dollar in the pockets of union officials had Tesla unionized.
THIS!I think he was joking!
But seriously, 4 motors means we can invent a new car maneuver: Screw doughnuts, we could do a car pirouette - spinning around the center of gravity without translation.
OT : KSA intentionally starving 85,000 kids to death in Yemen doesn't make news, but this does.

Street legal sports cars have been capablile of over 1 g on the skid pad for many years.using the the thrusters for vertical force only makes sense if your coefficient of friction is > 1. Otherwise, you are better off using the force directly.
I'm wondering why the Raven can "only" go 163 mph (262 kmh)? If it has a power output of ~500 kW, then even with higher RPM taper there should in principle be plenty of excess power left to overcome 281 kW of drag plus rolling resistance.

I believe most of the tools are robots and can be simply re-programmed.What he is suggesting makes sense but very expensive. And if you move to the new line what about the old tooling from the other lines?
Making the same production improvements to the 3 that is on the Y makes sense (less wiring, one piece rear floor pan) and should improve profit margin on the 3.
Indeed. Tesla will need all those robots for cash stacking, once the G-cube factory and FSD are both online.I believe most of the tools are robots and can be simply re-programmed.

Umm, wouldn’t it be a paraphrase, if, as some might suggest, shorts are people too?"Soylent brown is made from shorts!" -- misquote from Soylent Green, derived from "Make Room! Make Room!" by Harry Harrison.
The new line and common chassis for the 3Y allows a slower rollout of the Y. They can build 1 car and test assembly, check for gaps etc and come back a day or week later for car 2. With a new line they can test new assembly tech without risking existing lines. When the new line equals the old Trent or GA2-4, they can shut a line down, update process and repeat on each line while increasing capacity over the current ~7000 weekly model 3’s.I believe most of the tools are robots and can be simply re-programmed.
If yes, there are several possibilities such as 1) let them in use as production capacity needs to be increased, maybe doubled with both Y and 3 in production 2) re-use and re-program old tools / robots for something else, maybe Semi 3) Sell them second hand.
Some of the old processes such as embedding the wire harness can now be automated, and as that was manually, not many expensive tools were needed for. If the new process is much more efficient, it should pay off to upgrade the old lines as well in a relatively short time frame.
Maybe plan is 1) built new line, start producing 3's 2) upgrade old lines to new process 3) start building 3 and Y?
Initially, model Y will likely osborne model 3, so it makes sense when Fremont has the flexibility to build either model on all lines. So they can use most capacity to cope Y demand and later balance as needed.
That was my point. In an alternate world, genocidal attempt by KSA would cause massive market disruption because the western democracies that keep talking about "human rights" would actually sanction Saudis. Or atleast not help refuel their planes mid-air to help them carpet bomb civilians in Yemen. Afterall when you get a Nobel Peace Prize, that's the least that is expected.Childrens' deaths don't move the oil market. This does. That's just the reality we live in.
In case anyone doubts how important having a long-range AWD version of a car is to people in low density / northern countries (a config that simply isn't available from other manufacturers in the Model 3's price range): a local Tesla facebook group did a poll of people who ordered at the opening, asking them what versions they ordered (LR AWD and LR AWD P weren't broken down):
View attachment 454635
That's a ratio of 31 LR AWD (optionally P) to 1 SR+ RWD![]()
Allow me to be extremely skeptical of 350lbs+ being removed from just the pack.
They also stripped out the seats and perhaps a few other things...
However, I sure the "Like Tesla" video has a reference to a lighter battery pack and it is fairy accurate so far.
Specifically:-
"When asked if it was a 100 kwh pack or larger on these vehicles he just pointed up saying it will be a Lighter and larger battery pack With a bit of Increased performance expected as well. The S and X are expected to shed about 350 lbs in Battery weight which would add also help add to their range as well.
