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

I'm also disappointed that there was no extended long range version with about 375 to 400 miles of range.

300 miles just doesn't cut it for most people. I sure hope Tesla is holding back on their next big battery upgrade. It's been almost 3 years since we've seen any real improvement range wise.

I really thought Tesla was going to blow this reveal out the water - given the last couple have been duds. But, this one made the last couple seem like the super bowl in comparison. Talk about a snoozfest!

Hard to believe after all this time you are still this clueless about electric vehicles.

This angle looks good (from tesla model y page)

300 mile range and $47K - this is cheaper than Model 3 (of course without the Fed tax credit).

No, the Model 3 Long Range RWD is currently $43,000, will probably be about $44-44.5k next week.

So, trying to get things approximately compared for what you can order today (note that you'll get the car a year and a half earlier for the Model 3, too):

LR RWD: $43,000 vs. $47,000 ($4000 premium)
Dual Motor: $47,000 vs. $51,000 ($4000 premium)
Performance: $58,000 vs. $60,000 ($2000 premium)

I'm going to compare the Model 3 SR+ to the Model Y SR, so $37,000 vs. $39,000 ($2000 premium) there, but that's all subject to a lot of change.

I'm glad he gave everyone a history lesson. It is incredible that in less than ten years he went from nothing to: Roadster, S, X, 3, Semi prototype, new Roadster prototype, Y, solar roof, energy storage, and the leader in autonomous vehicles. The growth is really staggering. Everyone should realize that the market cap is too low.

 

[Cherry Wine]

Have to agree with the prevailing sentiment here at the moment. My expectations were low and they were ...met. Would be surprised to see a positive reaction in the market tomorrow, but hope I’m wrong!

More information there than on the reveal.

 

[Buddyroe]

I think Tesla could have rolled an empty refrigerator box out there and some of you would have said, "I love it".

Why is it that nobody can get past their own agenda and bias to form a truly objective opinion? It's the same for the Tesla haters and the Tesla lovers.

Can't get to the order page...keep getting errors.
Bad site design? Or lots of interest?

When Elon announced the standard range there were so much traffic directed to the site it crashed the server not once, but twice.

Yeah. This was more of a presentation on the history of Tesla with the last 5 minutes barely showing the Y. Definitely not an exciting reveal. I get that they don't want to osborne 3 sales, but why not just wait to do this reveal later when they can really show the Y in detail?

 

[Cobbler]

It's called model Y: you take the model 3 and stretch the image on the Y-axis

I was serious guys!!
To be honest: I got up early to watch this event, but it was underwhelming.... Both in presentation and in the actual model Y. It doesn't appeal to me as much as the look of the sedan version.

 

[Todd Burch]

What the hell is this? From order page:



They just said that initial production would start at the end of this year and then ramp up in Q1 19. Pushed back already?

When did they ever say that? Are you thinking of China Model3?

 

[Electroman]

 

[Buddyroe]

Essentially, it's a scaled down Model X with a Model 3 nose.

I'm sorry to go on and on, but that thing is a dud.

 

[ggies07]

It's the front of the 3 and back of the X.....

 

[azaz]

I get that they are going for ease of production over everything and that's why it looks more or less exactly the same as the 3, down to the same exact lights on both

This is virtually how every car manufacture builds their product. Take a look at the bmw 3, 4, 5, and 7 series. They look similar, and their suv/crossovers also look similar. Same with mercedes, Audi..
