Ok, but why do it at this point?
They've been doing it for years now: constant changes to pricing and to the referral program. Have we suddenly become allergic to it?

I guess that since they previously announced the discontinuation of the program, this may be giving some of the more spergy among us some dissonanceThey've been doing it for years now: constant changes to pricing and to the referral program. Have we suddenly become allergic to it?
In my experience with Turo, the owners don't check the cars, but end up blaming the damage from prior renters onto the renters they don't like that didn't cause any damage. Turo is a scam company for scam vehicle owners to charge 4x fees to renters. Furthermore, Turo doesn't offer flexible hours or extensions on rentals, and charges triple fees instead. Don't use Turo. (Use a traditional car rental company, or a new peer to peer company that doesn't encourage scammers.)In the Turo model, the owner gets the car back immediately and can inspect for damage right away. The robo taxi might make multiple runs before the owner gets it back.

Because people stopped buying Tesla cars and they haven't shipped any, apparently.
I don't understand the nitpicking; it stimulates super-cheap, word-of-mouth advertising. The best kind of advertising.
IBM also gave up. Giving up is in the genes of old businesses and businessmen. It's not in the genes of younger businessmen.Something? Like what?! And I am not even talking about business plan or product. Just from pure technical point of view. Starting several years earlier means absolutely nothing unless the front running maintaining the lead.
IBM had multi year lead on voice recognition, it meant nothing when they were surpassed by competitors before the tech can be productized, they just couldn't improve their accuracy as fast as the competitors can. IBM also spearheaded the research on using AI in diagnostic imaging, had a big plan as "Dr. Walson" with even marketing plans in place. They got quickly trounced by competitors because others had better accuracy. They also was the first to publish results in natural language understanding and question answering, had a big public stunt when Walson played jeopardy and won. What good does it do when Google easily crushed them later with better results?
Something, what exactly?
Probably because no mainstream news site published about the S/X refresh because they are too busy publishing high school drama. This will get the fleet of fans to start talking.Ok, but why do it at this point?
5K on average will get used in like 3-5 mths for common usage.
..Also, this many miles should be enticing with gas $ costs, esp. in EU .. ~ cheers
I'm really not trying to nitpick, just asking the question of why they are temporarily increasing the rewards right now. Totally agree that it's a very cheap way to try to increase sales. In that sense, it's smart.I don't understand the nitpicking; it stimulates super-cheap, word-of-mouth advertising. The best kind of advertising.
He won't stand for monitoring(this has been proven) nor will he refrain from tweeting inappropriately. He is the face of TESLA. He just retweeted a porn site for chrissakes.

I wouldn't worry about that. It's a small incentive. Now if they start nuking S/X prices like in Q1, we have a problem.I'm really not trying to nitpick, just asking the question of why they are temporarily increasing the rewards right now.

Not to brag, but I sold two cars today. I already sold a car last week. That's 3 cars in 2 weeks lol.
Poland is becoming a big tech hub. Well educated and language skills east and west.I think the best place for GF4 would probably be Czechia, Slovakia, or Poland. Lower labor costs, and short proximity to a large component supply base.
looks to me like the S/X program reduced it's gross profit by 500-600M$ relative to Q4, and the model 3 dropped 170M$. Given that the model 3 will continue to contract in profitability per vehicle, thus negating some of increased volume sales, if Tesla wants to get back to profitability it's mostly about the S/X.
