We picked up my wife's Made In Texas Model Y Thursday and the VIN ends with 0116xx.
yes, and make it quickCongrats! Can you tell whether it has a 4680 structural pack, or a 2170 non-structural pack?
Cheers!
I’ve done it three times, over the last seven years. Subjectively I do see improvements. Fir me and some others I do think we’re funding development so I don’t expect real FSD anytime soon. I have completely quit using autopilot in urban areas due to incessant false warnings. Even on limited access highways I no longer use it. Whatever I do spontaneous false warning happen so I typically end out with 80’s safety scores if I use autopilot and high 90’s when I drive myself. Probably I have some calibration errors but I don’t have the patience to seek service. That is my fault, not Tesla’s.Makes sense as they continue to sell lower priced models exponentially and fsd take rate lower. In the past, it was more model s and x models that were sold which targets wealthier early adopters. They likely had the capital to splurge another 4K-6k for fsd at that time. They were also the ones who probably bought their second or third model teslas - 3 and Ys and bought the fsds too. Now, it’s to the mass public - and we just want it for functionality, safety and cost efficiency. But not sure if they can cough up 10k+ for fsd toy function.
No, it’s the ringmasters controlling these monkeys that we’re up against.My first time driving a Tesla showed me why people are so obsessed with Elon Musk's electric cars
The Tesla Model Y is quick, packed with fun tech, and simple to charge. But not everyone will love its big touchscreen and lack of regular buttons.www.businessinsider.com
How can a journalist covering EVs have never driven a Tesla in 10+ YEARS?? Are these the monkeys we are up against?
The North America take rate seems to be similar today vs the 2017 S/X days despite the price being almost 3x what it used to be. This is actually surprising. We actually see huge jump in take rate after the huge model 3 ramp. Also the large spike in 2019 was due to FSD being on sale prior to every end of the quarter push, switch to HW3 so 2.5 people got real hardware for their cash, and post Autonomus day demonstration.Makes sense as they continue to sell lower priced models exponentially and fsd take rate lower.

Correct, so take it as a min take rate.I've said this before, but I wish Troy would make it clearer that this FSD take-rate comes from his voluntary order-tracker spreadsheet and is only for new orders. He has no way of quantifying the number of Tesla owners that add FSD after they receive their order. And that number could be substantial.
Correct, so take it as a min take rate.
However new order take rate today most likely account foe 95%+ of the full purchase take rate as most people would like to roll a 10k+ purchase into the loan. Those who didn't will most likely subscribe later. Very few drop 10-15k cash afterwards unless there's a new hardware upgrade that comes with the purchase.
Could be that the Pollution Reduction Act in the US has shifted focus to North America for the near future. Ramping faster in America makes good sense from my perspective. Even if ramping in Europe and China will be somewhat slower.
Creative So are there a bunch of nice homes with junk cars out front?Likewise, right near me in Virginia, they pay an annual property tax on the value of their car. In Fairfax county (probably highest concentration of Tesla's in my area), it's over 4.5%. If you add FSD to the purchase price, that's an extra $675 you have you pay in property tax every year.
Yeah, Texas plant really seemed to have a bust Q2 with it opening only with the 4680 cells (i.e. tiny production). The equipment to build with the 2170 cells arrived late Q2 so the "real" opening has basically been Q3. Ramp is modest to date....loooooong way to go before they hit anything like Shanghai plant (if ever). What I really want to see is significant quarter over quarter increases and no "stalls" on the output. Q4 2022 and Q1 2023 will be better indicators of ramp for sure. Regardless, it APPEARS neither Berlin or Texas will add materially to the production numbers this year which is disappointing in the short term, but likely immaterial a year or two from now.
It's an "or", not an "and", which changes the amount of tax substantially. "10% of the total purchase or 20% of the amount over the limit"in Canada, cars over $75,000 USD ($100,000 CAD) have to pay an extra "luxury" tax of 10% of the total purchase and 20% of the amount over the limit
Indeed, it is effectively "or" but the law is "and"; @willow_hiller dropped the opening section's 'lesser of'.It's an "or", not an "and", which changes the amount of tax substantially. "10% of the total purchase or 20% of the amount over the limit"
34 The amount of tax payable under this Division (other than Subdivision D) in respect of a subject item is equal to the lesser of
(a) the amount determined by the formula A × B where A is the taxable amount of the subject item, and B is 10%, and
(b) the amount determined by the formula (C − D) × E where C is the taxable amount of the subject item, D is the price threshold in respect of the subject item, and E is 20%.
