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

I can see why Elon Musk was saying that Tesla has the best product roadmap out of any company
Nothing. Maybe that’s the plan. Sell it locked as the same spec as Fremont for a while and then maybe unlock faster charging etc later on.
From what we have seen it is a Model Y Standard Dual Motor with only ~280 miles of range. (That is what the screen showed on one vehicle someone at the event went inside.) So not the same as what Fremont, Shanghai, or Berlin makes.
I have to assume that specs, and ordering, will be made available soon. (They probably contacted locals with orders and asked if they wanted to switch to the standard range from GigaTexas for a discount.)
The plant is built next to the airport, I bet the departing planes to the north are getting an awesome show. Imagine looking to the right and seeing a drone Model Y floating in the air, passenger or pilot.
Funny seeing how many cars pulled over on 130 to watch the show. The speed limit on that stretch is 80 mph.
I think this is the biggest news from the event. 4680s are being made in volume at GigaTexas as well as the Kato road pilot plant. It will be interesting to see how the market reacts to this news tomorrow. (If they even notice.)

They delivered cars outta the factory. I wonder if they decided to pay fines... or there is indeed some workaround that all the know-it-alls on this forum have never figured out?

There is a twitter video of the vinyl wrapped display Y that had the mcu screen showing it as a Standard Range Y from Austin. It was posted a couple pages back.
Putting a half million more Model Ys on the road this year is the biggest news IMO.

If Abbott actually cared he could call a special session for them to come vote on it.
He's always been able to do that, and never done it (for this matter anyway- he's called them for other matters)
We know folks at the event sat in SR AWD Model Ys, which seem to be the 279 mile EPA range cars we knew existed (but I think a lot of folks expected to be RWD)- but nothing announced, and not listed at tesla.com on the Y configurator which is kind of odd.
That's fully ramped production for a full year. They're not going to make that many this year in Texas.
Or the moved them out of state, completed the sale paperwork, and moved them back to the factory for tonights deliveries.
The law's pretty clear on this- and Elon himself has admitted it's a problem until the legislature changes it.
Model Robotaxi, 4680 in Austin, 1M/year from current building in Texas when ramped, more releases next year. Much wow. Also great drone show, loved the doge and haha yes. I assume Austin people will this show and having Elon drive away in the cybertruck will create a lot of mimetic desire. So much winnng.
Easy they could have shipped them out of state, done the paperwork and then brought them back. That is the most obvious way.

I really felt good about the SIZE of the CyberNOTAtruck with franz and elon standing there. It seemed expansive, especially the length.
Bub But but? that's it?
he did not dance?????????

Main takeaways:
1. Elon is finally working out. Headed toward Ze-like forearms.
2. I may have had a few seizures.

I don't think this moves the needle at all. It's going to be the numbers in time.
