What is your source for "~25% of Americans consider CR when purchasing a car." ?
I know literally zero people that have read CR when they were considering buying a car.

Just think about the starting point for Model Y considering the number of parts that are shared with Model 3. I have fairly high expectations that they will do better with Model Y launch now that they are a relatively experienced volume car manufacturer.
There may be some minimal short term pain as Tesla has to push a counter narrative to CR showing how much improvement they have made to M3 production, but longs definitely have a lot to be optimistic about.

Agreed, and since i'm one that generally throws water at the 'this time it's different' line of commentary, I thought I should say so. It really is different:
Roadster --> Model S: No comparison. Totally different vehicle, Tesla's first 'real' vehicle made fully in-house.
Model S --> Model X: Minimal comparison. Tesla originally said they were going to build the X off of the S platform but that... didn't happen. Much at all.
Model X --> Model 3: Minimal comparison. Tesla said they took learnings from the X and used them to streamline the 3, and I'm sure they did. But it was still a new platform, new cell type, new pack architecture, new software, new new new. And also intended for an order of magnitude increase in volume compared to either S or X.
Model 3 --> Model Y: The Y is said to share 75% of its components with the 3. It really is much more similar to the 3 than the X is to the S. It will likely use the 3's cell type, pack design, etc. It is intended for similar volumes as the 3. It will use the 3's software platform. Tesla will be unveiling it at a later stage of development vs the 3 on its development timeline.
This is not to say that I think Tesla will ramp up the Y as quickly as they'd like to. There will be issues. I just don't see them as being quite as numerous or severe as what the 3 went through, where it took 6 months from initial deliveries just to get any sort of volume going and another 6 to truly get things rolling.
I am seeing the same “tweet unavailable” if I check any replies, but if I click link direct to the tweet, I can see it.
What the hell is happening to Tweeter?
Could it be too many TSLAQ people “reported” the tweet?
Yeah, I dropped them this e-mail on their website: "I am very surprised that CR no longer recommends the Tesla Model 3. I own a Model 3 and have found the fit and finish impeccable, the performance outstanding, and technology amazing. No offense, but withdrawing your recommendation damages CR's credibility far more than it does Tesla especially given the timing of CR's announcement."
I've been a member on-and-off over the years when I'm in the market for appliances and what not, though not a member at the moment.

Useless fun fact. They originally had a huge fight scene in the script. The big guy had been practicing for months. Harrison Ford got dysentery while on set and was pretty ill. So they changed this scene to what you see today.

That’s especially interesting on an up day for TSLA +1.19%. Those were modest purchases of TSLA, perhaps designed not to spike the price ahead of several days of accumulation. I own ARKK +2.39%, but no TSLA was added there today. The big ARKK contributor today was Z +26.37% (Zillow), even though at the close yesterday it was only 2.54% of that ETF.
It will be interesting to see if Cathie Wood allows TSLA to become significantly more than 10% of any of ARK’s ETFs, after the recent flack she has been getting about her portfolio rebalancing policy. She says she will not buy more of a particular stock for an ARK ETF, if it gets above 10% of that ETF’s holdings. But she recently has noted that getting above 10% does not compel her to sell. It is only if another stock that she still favors has dropped significantly in an ETF, that she sells a portion of a big winner for money to buy more of the fallen angel.

In the U.S.A. interest on debt is less than tax on personal income.
FSD does, in fact, require EAP to purchase. Otherwise, $3k would be a heck of a deal!

Hallo, TMC'ers from the EU!
Did you take delivery of your brand new Tesla Model 3 yet? Would you mind just very quickly popping out the Autopilot computer and tell us all if you've got the new HW3 NN CPU?
TIA!

I was trying to pull alongside a lambourgini and I didn’t care about what trim it was.
My car which starts at 44K was a threat to an exotic which decided to turn left at last second than have a confrontation.
Think about how crazy the above is. How can one wrap any recommendation around that?
I don’t have the same pull as Comsumer Reports but I would not recommend a lambourgini.
The same money could be spent on S3X instead.
