Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

[Artful Dodger]

Ugh. The Daily Fail is one of the very worst rags in existence.

Of course neither the Headline or the article explains that the subject incident was reported on an OHSA report in 2021, well before any Teslabots existed, and at Texas while Teslabot would be developed at Palo Alto. So it was possibly a 3rd-party robot that pinched the hand of an employee.

But gory details are fleshed out vividly (rather than truthfully), so the imaginations of low-info consumers of such twaddle can fill in the rest. Good thing the UK has laws protecting this type of 'reporting'. /x

Tell that to Porsche 911 buyers. /s

Different buyer and Porsche is not after the mass market. My friends and families that own Teslas did not have Porsche on their shopping lists.
The Porsche 911 like the Model S (always bought up as examples) are a fraction of Model 3 and Y sales.

With driver removed, there is no need for a front seat, nor four doors. I'm convinced the first Robotaxi will be a two door hatchback

Whatever you do, please don't tweet that design at Elon! /s

Cheers!

They worked great in the 1964 Lincoln too. You could open the rear door while having a bag of groceries on the front door ledge. Never had an issue with not being able to get in the rear as compared to the front.

Thanks for posting that. Exactly what I had in mind in my earlier comment (except smaller suicides). They gain a lot in ingress/egress with the pillar.

Not dipsticks, toadies: You can't buy that level of stupid for cheap.

Now THAT is a rebuttal... bury 'em with substantiated facts.

I think back ion the initial S pack fire response a decade ago with the same appreciation. (not a false article response, but similarly well done)

Then explain the VW Beetle, and how it changed style constantly to stay fashionable over it's 33 yr production run.

People want value, reliability, and (now) safety in their transportation choice, not fashion statements.

Wow, that is very close to me. There is a new Service center/Gallery that just opened right near there. I wonder if that is where it is going?

50+ years for the classic Beetle. The last one rolled off the Puebla, Mexico line in 2003. Some designs are timeless.

Mine must be coming up soon, it's only 2,500,000 after that one!

if they should ever get around to asking, I'm gonna pass on the Founder's Edition and wait a little longer (unless the SP triples, then I'm all in!)

Only 300k away for me!

Well, I'm not sure the Bolt "show the way" to selling in large numbers.

Now you may argue that it's due to lack of marketing/manufacturing, but I'm not sure I've seen evidence of huge demand either...

We don't know how much demand because at the price it was being sold (combined with incentives of course) GM wasn't making enough of them. Try looking for inventory if there was any, it was base or overloaded. Bolt EUV was clearly the #3 EV in the USA. Bolt + Bolt EUV were selling 6k per month earlier this year, then 4k per month (essentially capacity) and that's despite crap DCFC speeds and CCS.

Now imagine it charged like the LFP 3SR, and had Supercharger access.

I can say with conviction they were at 112784… yesterday so some clever person should be able to project the res clearing rate per day.

If they are going in reservation number order. I think there are more factors in play, such as location and previous customer.

4k/day increase means my reservation will be available in ~2 weeks. Now how to get it to London.
