That's just bad form to wish that.

You've had a pretty remarkable opportunity and should take advantage of it now. Remember - pigs get slaughtered.

Sorry for the lack of sensitivity. I've deleted my post.
BTW, what company owns Rolls Royce? Maybe they simply in search of common brand identity among nameplates./s

...or maybe smarter than all of us for not getting caught up in the drivel of the forums until recently.
Don't worry, we'll bring them down to our level if they last on this forum long enough.

The sad part is that they weren't even inventing a new battery tech, like say solid state or something which I'd understand as being hard hard. They just failed to turn a profit.

But it's slower around the Ring so all is not lost.

Sounds like a very logical thought to me. Seems crazy we aren't allowed to wish for better buying opportunities. This isn't the options thread. I guess just bad form for posting such an obvious post. Kind of like this post right now that I'm writing. And unfortunately posting

Not sure. Either folks don't believe in the effort, don't think this will ever change, or maybe don't like the sources of the information? Seems to me that an event like this might be the ONLY way to get the attention needed for change.
Based on the reactions to my post, I've realized some people are simply holding on to so much that a price drop would be too heart-wrenching. I should've taken this into account when posting. Don't mean to wish harm on anybody.Sounds like a very logical thought to me. Seems crazy we aren't allowed to wish for better buying opportunities. This isn't the options thread.

Unfortunately (or more likely, by design), there's not an ready, in-the-parts-bin option to build a 500 mile range Model Y. Perhaps the becomes possible with Gen-3 4680 cells, but ~375 Wh/kg is needed. That's years off (Elon said ~400 WH/kg enables electric jets).
On the other hand, the hypothetical Model 3 Plaid I referred to upthread can be added to production quickly, built with already available parts simply by tweeting the supply chain. I suspect that gross margins on a Plaid Model 3 would be extremely attractive. So that's my interest for a new announcement in the near term, to help smooth out 2023 gross margins.
Cheers!

I am not that excited about the prospect of Tesla taking a monopoly of the market. The government will definitely take action to prevent a monopoly and potentially screw up a lot of good things.

Consumption often doubles and in some cases triples while towing.Unfortunately (or more likely, by design), there's not an ready, in-the-parts-bin option to build a 500 mile range Model Y (perhaps with Gen 3 of the 4680 cells, but need > 375 Wh/kg cells).
BTW, are you doing these regular 500 mile trips away from the Supercharger network? If so, dragging around more batteries than you need is SLOWING your trip (increased energy consumption requires more time charging). As you mentioned, if 500-mile Cybertuck qualifies for the IRA subsidy, it will tow like hot cakes...

500 can become 170-250 in a hurry, that sound a little more reasonable?
In 2023 which will grow faster: TSLA share price or my ignore list?
