That was NOT a component supplier. It was a 3rd party forecasting company "AutoForecast Solutions".Several months ago there were a couple of TMC posters who provided a detailed spreadsheet of a Tesla supplier spreadsheet showing required component dates for Tesla models. It noted current models and also included information on Cybertruck, Semi and a van I believe. It looked legit although could have been made up. Can't seem to find this, so if those who provided the information can repost for discussion, much appreciated.
Specifically, for Cybertruck the supplier required component dates were noted for October, 2023. This would lead me to believe that Cybertruck would be ramping in Q4 2023. Is there any information from Elon or Tesla, or a credible resource, that Cybertruck is scheduled to ramp in Q1 2023? If so please provide.
Tesla has expressly stated Cybertruck to commence production in 2023, not January 2023. This time last year many here (me included) thought Austin and Berlin would be pumping out Model Ys by January 2022, and we now know that was delayed by six months. Now we have Cybertruck using a exoskeleton manufacturing process never undertaken on an automobile. Further, unlike Ford, Rivian and Lucid which have designed their manufacturing around a 100k annual run rate, Tesla is designing their manufacturing around a million annual run rate. Totally different beast. If Tesla was only planning on making 100k a year, they would already be pumping out Cybertrucks. Tesla is thinking smart, thinking long term and thinking right. Let's give them the opportunity to make sure they get it right. My realistic expectation is for Cybertruck production ramp commencing in Q4 2023.

Same here, I need an EV for my 16 year daughter.
I think the remote productivity totally depends upon experience, individual work ethic, and the role. If you limit your company to specific physical job markets then you have limited access to talent, period. There are always people who can't be productive remotely, but there are plenty that can be very productive remotely.
While recent college grads should almost certainly always be on site, there's plenty of experienced engineers that would choose to just work elsewhere.
I agree Elon can do whatever he wants, but imagine if Jeff Dahn (advanced battery researcher) wasn't able to help Tesla because he had to leave Nova Scotia for one of the Tesla factories? That's silly.
I agree with the need to work in an office for most jobs. But does he really need to deliver the message this way ?
Seems like a once great leader is letting things go to his head and starting to lose it.

One or more things is behind schedule, in Elon’s opinion. That’s the major takeaway for me from all of this WFH discussion.

Boring Company is trying to build up Loop capacity in Austin which would help to solve this problem, especially for the young employees who want to live in the city or inner suburbs and would be commuting to the factory.
Boring Company's Vegas Strip Loop Nearing Final Approval - Connect CRE
Casino operators have said above-road surface congestion is stymying growth opportunities at the ever popular venue. The newly drilled tunnels will drastically reduce drive times around the heavily congested Las Vegas Strip, and for the users fares will be somewhere between an Uber ride and a...www.connectcre.com
"The underground loop being built by Elon Musk’s Boring Company will allow Tesla programmed vehicles to travel over 100 mph through the underground tunnel with no congestion. It’s expected to receive full approval at the June 2 Las Vegas City Council meeting.
The cost of the project is being funded by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Bureau, the casinos who will have stops along the way and the Boring Company, who will be tasked with operating the system and receiving the revenue generated by the rides.
At full build-out, the Loop will have 51 stations and take 57,000 passengers an hour."
This is wrong, it is today.
That guy is deranged even by TSLAQ standards.
Honestly, I think a 1-3 week target would be close to ideal for Tesla, TSLA, and customers.
Customer doesn't have absurd wait (if I total my car today I have to get something else soon)
No grandfathering in year old prices (extra ~10k)
Prices actually relate to what the market will bear (further increase!)
Still have the ability to shift around a delivery to ensure cars aren't sitting on lots
Doesn't need to be "in stock" it's not an impulse purchase.
If you go to Agenda point 43 in this interactive agenda and download the pdf there...I believe you will be pleasantly surprised.

Yeah, that's why they banned him. Duh!
Oh, wait, you weren't talking about @ZeApelido (aka "Joe"), were you?

I can vouch that the whompy wheels on my MX Plaid can go 150mph without falling off.
Not recommended late at night in Northern NY where moose may be on the road. Or in Arkansas where rednecks may be on the road. But it had to be tested for…science.
*no rednecks nor meese were harmed, and it was very brief. Also, this car is ridiculously amazing, even for previous Tesla owners.
That works, but only if the interviewer knows what the job is really about. Most HR personnel don't.

Is Boring Company actually doing a monorail or is this Loop under the monorail moniker just because Las Vegas has laws that classify it as such?
Rinse and Repeat:GM's decision to discount the Bolt is interesting to me. First, the pricing referenced in the article below represents usually deep discounts during a time when all car prices are all going north. Next, the idea that someone might be attracted to those low prices would actually find a dealership that wouldn't gouge them to oblivion is comical. Just because GM chooses to offer a bottom of the barrel MSRP, doesn't mean that the dealer won't look at the competition's pricing and fill most of that gap with markups. Also, while LG has "fixed" the batteries, have they really? Elon is on record as saying prismatic pouch cells are problematic. I don't think that's "fixable", rather it seems likely that the new LG design reduces the number of thermal runaways from the currently known causes? I guess we'll see...GM is no doubt losing money on each Bolt they sell and it's likely justified per up thread comments re: ZEV credits. Certainly a different business model than Tesla. I wouldn't recommend any company follow Mary, the leader, down this road!
BTW, I love the continued use of "Tesla killer". It makes me laugh and reminds me not to let my guard down to the bias...

It looks like they had "Monorail" defined and just applied that name to the tunnel project.
I was thinking they were handing over operation of the Monorail system to Boring, but looking at the PDF there is only reference to the tunnels.
It's easier to call it a monorail than to enact new laws and regulations.
GM has been building them since late 2017. (They tried Real Hard to get some delivered before the Model 3 hit the streets. Even delivered the first ones at the Chevy dealer in Fremont - just across the freeway from the Tesla Mother Ship.) They build them on the same assembly line as the Sonic. GM, with LG as partner, also has their own battery production plant that was initially built for Volt packs. So the production aspects have been well established for years. I'm guessing GMs internal costs are pretty reasonable.
It isn't comparable to a Tesla offering. But if I were buying something in its price range, I think it compares well against a Leaf and perhaps the Hyundai/Kia offerings. Here in Silicon Valley, I probably see more Bolts in the wild than any other non-Tesla EV.
