MarketWatch - today: Electric cars are about environmental justice for Black and Hispanic Americans
Excerpt:
Evidence shows that many Americans are eager to transition to EVs and participate in a clean energy economy. In a recent nationally representative consumer survey, 71% of drivers surveyed said they were interested in getting an electric car. But 48% said that lack of access to public charging infrastructure was holding them back, and 43% cited vehicle cost as a disincentive.
My research focuses on ways to make cities more sustainable, healthy and equitable places to live. In my view, making EVs and charging infrastructure accessible to all drivers is crucial for achieving clean transportation and energy justice.
People of color bear disproportionate harms from fossil fuels. For example, Black people in the U.S. are more likely than white people to live near oil refineries and petrochemical plants.
People who live in these neighborhoods experience higher levels of exposure to toxic emissions such as benzene, mercury and sulfuric acid than those who don’t live near these industries. They also have higher rates of heart disease, cancer and asthma.

Maybe they read some TMC posts from a few days agoahem
Flashy shiny objects on twitter and you tube are easier to believe
Kiddin aside, hope they are right. cheers!!
Do tell -- I missed some stuff recently. Share a link?
Sorry if it was misleading. Meant there was speculation(nothing concrete) here as well, that the possibility for delay was due to FSD 9.0, no radar, pure vision. Prior to that it was it about the front, rear frames, 4680 cells etc. So I don't think the twitter posts are any thing different than what have been speculated here as well.
cheers!!
We will know in a weeks time.
(+ Checked the tweet again, it does not even have the signature of ** BREAKING NEWS

Elon already spilled the beans when he accidentally replied Roadster stuff in the Jun-3 tweet thread.
Now they have to find some other cool stuff to wow us.
Trying to think of another auto company that would be making stuff out of a unfinished factory.....I got nothing.
Move fast and break stuff....I love it!
It CAN be. Don't check the stock, don't check TMC. ESPECIALLY NO OPTIONS, NO MARGIN.
Just buy every week, dollar cost averaging in.
Anyone actually do it the easy way? I don't because I'm too stupid, too stubborn, too greedy.

Maybe there will be a "One more thing" at this event related to the Roadster:
- Musk recently stated a 0-60 time for the SpaceX package and teased design updates - seems like they're getting close to production
- Plaid+ (rumored to be a test of roadster tech) ordering is disabled. This would help differentiate S and Roadster
- Roadster was announced before Plaid+, I'm sure there's pressure to deliver
- Roadster is lower volume, will match the 4680 volume better while their battery lines ramp up

Every event tesla has held has had a huge build up with expectations for a rocket launch. It should just be a simple presentation of the new features no cats with lasers or other weird expectations.
I hope people on social media don't over hype 6/3 which would allow various talking heads on TV to comment on how disappointing it was if not every single wish list item was filled.

Based on the post 2 posts above yours...too late :/. When will these social media guys learn?
Every one having solar panels (Tesla or not) and PowerWalls. I am one of them. Our system switches near instantly to powering house directly to feeding grid to charging batteries. If there is sunlight or our PowerWalls are charged, house has juice regardless of status of grid.

So they're hyping up June 3. I wonder what the surprise could be! Wild speculation: On June 3 Tesla will start shipping 4680-powered Cybertrucks made at the pilot production line in a secret corner of the Fremont plant. It'll shock the pants off Ford by getting almost 3 miles per kWh.
If v11/fsd 9.0 are really a step change and massive improvements I feel like it would be unlikely Tesla would release them without an event. And they cant offer a subscription for FSD if there aren't features worth subscribing to. Not saying that I think this is happening on june 3rd. But If not June 3rd then there needs to be another event on deck IMO.
Given that there's quite a bit of speculation that the X and S are delayed in part because of this software release it makes sense to do it at the same time I guess?

Nothing is happening on 6/3 other than some customers getting Model S deliveries.
