If the only trade off is between better range or faster entertainment response time then I would easily choose the former.

You mean, today I actually get to do some real work? AS opposed to staring at the SP ticker all day, and making snarky comments on forums and twitter?Just a reminder for everyone, as disappointing as it may seem, tomorrow is not Monday.
This week, for Nasdaq, Monday falls on Tuesday.
Keep HODLing
and
Carry on!
HEY! We resemble that remark.
I'm confused.
This is the opposite of FUD, right? His supposed "$5,000 Fix" died, so he DID require a $22,000+ battery fix . . . which IS a problem that Tesla needs to address.
Not only is it bad in real world terms--it's more than half the value of an older MS--but the FEAR FACTOR of having that massive expense hanging over your head with every drive will cause the value of older MS's and MX's to plummet.
Tesla needs a low-cost solution for older Teslas, perhaps some small portion of 4680 production, or some Li-Iron, or SOMETHING, can be diverted to create a pool of packs to supply this market, hopefully for well under 5-figures?
The numbers SHOULD be small, but their impact on social media will be HUGE if we don't get a handle on this ASAP. Here's an idea: sell them at a small LOSS as not doing so would greatly hinder Tesla's overall mission in the long run?
Disagree on several levels.
First, it's 2022, these are VERY expensive cars, and standards/expectations have changed.
Second, if you're taking a long-trip in, say, Canada or the northern tier of the US, the Nordic countries, etc., exposure to ambient temperatures for long periods WILL threaten your ability to actually keep yourself and your family alive.
Third, it very much appears that Tesla dropped the ball here as this is year TWO of these complaints, and I posit that IF Tesla had done better cold weather testing these failures would not have occurred.
As shareholders, we should all be disappointed with this issue, especially as it creates a huge FUD opportunity (that IS partially true!) that hampers Tesla's critical mission.
Until this is resolved, it DOES count as a Tesla "Fail," and a big one at that.
I somehow missed that Tesla has been steadily covering the roof of Gigafactory Nevada all through 2021:

I don't think this is something we should be celebrating. Successful 3rd party battery repair at reasonable cost is something that is needed for older Tesla's if they're to remain viable outside of warranty.
Having watched Rich a little in the early days, I would question his competence to be doing this sort of work though, unless he now has competent staff working for him.
This is old world thinking.... in the new world there will be no "vehicles outside of warranty".
What do you mean? Tesla went from 8-years unlimited to 4years limited warranty - so the trend is lowering warranty not lengthening it, my 2014 P85+ has 5 months until I might pay ~20k to keep it alive after battery failure
For the time being warranty is just a form of marketing - you offer longer warranties where/when you have poor customer trust.
When the trust increases you can shorten the period.
You don't (have to) offer any warranty if you do not sell the car.
With that amazing 70,602 cars sold locally, Tesla was the top luxury car brand insured in China in December. And was #14 brand in overall auto sale in Dec.
My guess is that while most of the 6.3% drop in YOY sale could be due to overall shortages, some is due to the 6 months wait time for new Teslas Instead of buying something else off the lot.
The 175.6% YOY growth vs others shows Tesla is taking shares away from the next 6 top foreign brands.

Don't read anything into this though. Too low volume.
