Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable
- Thread starter AudubonB
- Start date
Question is, why are you still driving a Jag and MB?
Does this imply that it can reach both sides of most vehicles?
Yes, V4 pedestals have longer cables and are shifted to be side agnostic. The pedestal-cable connection is centered on the parking spot instead of being offset.

22 years late now, just wait until TSLAQ gets their hands on this
"Dear Gordo, I never thought I'd be writing a letter like this but..."
Before anyone else writes this and gets a Mod smackdown:
I didn’t buy 1978 Penthouses just for the articles, ya know.

That would make it completely worthless to tow with, unless you stay local.
Hopefully that's either FUD or just for the initial launch. If after 4.5 years they under deliver so bad we lose 150 miles of range in addition to the 6th seat, I will be rethinking my investment thesis. No way I'll remain "all in". I'll probably go to about 20 percent.
Now that I think about it, Elon's recent comments about FSD could be a stock pump to compensate for an impending collapse over the CT specs. I don't think this is the case but I'm not going to turn a blind eye either.
Blah blah 4680 blah. Semi exceeded the range initially advertised on 2170. When it comes to engineering it is much harder to hit 500 miles of a semi fully loaded than a cyber truck.
Haven't seen this mentioned and may apply to other countries, but just a data point for those who like to speculate on Project Highland. Tesla currently offers 0% finance here in the UK for the Model 3 (and only the Model 3), valid for orders placed up to 31st August. Seems to line up with a major refresh of the Model 3.

Analysts Will Be Amazed. Tesla To Produce Significantly More Cybertrucks Than Expected
This article is making the rounds, more fluff but this paragraph and the headline are 99% of the content of the article for anyone that's heard of the cybertruck before today.

In Finland you get 2.99% on model Y at the moment, compared to 5 something for model 3

Not sure how this will display, the text below is the text of the tweet above. It's a very long tweet so I hope this comes across.

Model S Plaid is an absolute WORKHORSE!
In the last 2 weeks here are some of its astonishing accomplishments:
Completed a Cross-Canada roadtrip: Toronto Ontario to Tofino British Columbia & back (~7,000miles)
Dominated multiple ICE super cars in Mountains & Prairies
Slalomed up and down mountain passes in Track Mode
Offroaded with lifted SUVs & pickup trucks down logging roads & hydro access pathways, then up a mountain in Squamish BC.
Bested a Supersport Bike in Vancouver to the point the driver literally bowed down to the Plaid
Provided comfortable lodging via Camp Mode
Handled massive rain storms and washout thanks to an amazing ESP system and Tri-motor All Wheel Drive
️Gave incredibly economical travel costs compared to ICE
Zero mechanical issues
Cameras picked up wildlife near the freeway several times and warned us
Hopped curbs, embankments drove through drainage ditches in various situations
Took a Semi-Truck tire on the chin at highway speed and still brought us home safely
Provided us with entertainment via Netflix, Spotify, gaming, and a sensational sound system
Held the road incredibly well in high wind situations
Provided a comfortable ride via air suspension, cooled seats and active noise cancellation
Massive storage allows us to bring all our luggage, gear, 2 bicycles (inside when driving) and more
Easy charging solutions via the Supercharger Network, and various adapters
Kept us cool with AC running while parked in the bowls of a Ferry Ship (x2) when others had to turn off their engines
Relaxing, fatigue free travel thanks to Autopilot driving most of the time, handling curvy mountain roads & straight lines on the plains
Big Plaid power allowed us to escape & outrun a potential car jacking & robbery at 2am in the middle of nowhere
Tesla Model S Plaid is THE best car ever made in human history. There is no other vehicle that offers everything this car does.
A massive “Thank You” to @tesla and the Team who designed & built the Model S Plaid.and “Thank You” to @elonmusk for you influence on this project.

Ducking hell, just saw a Model Y here in Brazil, second Tesla sighting ever
Absolutely gorgeous, white with 20” wheels
Didn’t even have time to snap a pic

Why, to "boost sales" of the vehicle they are barely producing?

Me as well but if they are cell constrained it could be for now.
Could be more of a domestic-cell constrain in that the cells satisfying IRA requirements and would be used for huge battery packs facilitating more CT miles are being directed towards vehicles with smaller battery packs that will maximize their potential in terms of getting tax incentives for consumers across more units, boosting sales, etc
Lots of variables around that though, like what the starting price of the CT will be. However, the IRA is really written to incentivize smaller battery packs because a pile of qualifying battery minerals/components can be spread across more units accruing the full incentive rather than using more batteries for fewer CT units with much bigger packs that still only qualify for $7500.
The IRA incentivizes hybrids in this way as well, particularly as the requirements become more demanding and tiny little hybrid batteries stretch that pile of qualifying raw materials much further than even a smaller BEV while still garnering that full $7500 -- it'll be interesting to see if domestic hybrid manufacturing picks up as a result.
