It's funny how this thread should be very positive and active right now, but only 2 posts in the last 20 minutes....everyone is afraid to "jinx" it. I miss the bolder, braver outlook of yore! 
Nothing like advertising cars you can't buy if you wanted to. Been flooded with GM EV ads (Silverado, Equinox, Blazer) for months on streaming channels.
Bolt and Bolt EUV are selling like hotcakes right now. Shame there's a 6 month wait, otherwise they could make a bunch of money on them.

Most roads in Europe started as ox cart trails. Italy started as chariot trails. Chariots were narrower I believe.Most Teslas especially my S don’t fit all those tiny roads

Do they make money on them? Would it really be a "bunch"?

I wasn’t aware there were so many masochists out there!
Let's show these together now... Things are changing rapidly, only a few hours apart.
I don't get it. I almost bought one last fall, when they were selling for $27k, which was what my 10 year old model S was worth. Now the Bolt EUV's are selling for $40k+ and my S is probably worth $20k. I bailed on it, when I realized the trunk space can barely fit anything. Honestly, why would anyone buy one when the Model 3 is about the same price.
MODS: If there is a better thread for this discussion, please feel free to move.
I have been following the Tesla energy/megapack XL story and it sounds incredible. One of @Zerosumgame33 (the main proponent of this thesis on Twitter), has been saying that switching to LFP chemistry for stationary storage will reduce costs. However, in the recent Giga Nevada announcement, Tesla has said that the factory will produce 4680's that will be used in stationary storage.
However, I remember somewhere that Elon has said the 4680's would not use LFPs. So, has Tesla's strategy changed regarding LFP and 4680 or is this a potential flaw in the bullish case for Tesla energy?
The TE story sounds too good to be true which fuels my inherent skepticism but I'd like to have better/concrete reasons for supporting or disputing the bull case.

There's always that one in the fam......It's funny how this thread should be very positive and active right now, but only 2 posts in the last 20 minutes....everyone is afraid to "jinx" it. I miss the bolder, braver outlook of yore!
Do they actually make money on them?

I doubt they make it but there is likely a correlation with boxed wine drinkers and Bolt buyers.

Can't-too many classified documents in the glove box.
Advertising of prototypes is easy, production is hard, charging is harder, and recalls are a beach...
While I'm all for accelerating the rise of EV's, I think GM is going to have a tough time going forward, especially with their announcement that they're not going to reduce prices. All of the BEV's they're introducing will be in expensive and out of the hands of many folks in the US and Canada. Plus, if they are able to make 200,000 in the next year and a half, I will be surprised.
2024 will be a telling year and I bet Munro and crew will be quite busy dissecting GM's follies... if they can even get a few to tear apart that is!
We switched our oil furnace to a high efficiency heat pump over a year ago. Saving at least a couple thousand a year on heat and the A/C is running less cost as well. Hopefully these crazy increases are driving more people to electric devices including EVs even faster.
