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

The rumor is ambient lights in the S/X.

Edit; and front bumper camera. They allegedly start shipping March 1st.

Pretty lame for significant changes if you are right

Eliminating the front blind spot would be significant for FSD purposes (esp. around summon/parking lot features and safety) though it'd be kinda weird bringing it to S/X at this point when they just passed by a 3 refresh without it.

Financial troubles for Ford apparent, they can only pay for a cheap copy.

Teslascope has been talking about it since October saying any day the S/X would get those and rumors on Twitter today were that its finally coming March 1st.

So either Teslascope is wrong again or I'm connecting 2 dots incorrectly.

Tesla filed a permit on 2/21 to install 3 new presses at Fremont, might be Roadster related given Elon's tweet yesterday

That's the changes they were speaking to.

Rumor is new Plaid seats as well.

I know it'll be low volume--- but given we've heard a number of times how tight on space Fremont is seems weird it'd be built there versus Nevada or Texas where they've got tons of spare space?

Any guesses? Model 3 is out unless this means Ludicrous, Model Y everything seems to point out that Juniper will happen way latter, Model S and X in a Plaid+ version would fit the bill, specially with 3 Ludicrous coming, creates more segmentation between them

Cybertruck would be a weird one for significant changes at the present time, but who knows

I would guess Model S/X top of my wish list would be, steer-by-wire and variable ratio steering..

Then do something about the pedals, and RHD deliveries are back on.....

Damn - RGB ambient lighting isn't as exciting...

This is for anyone. Ford uses their Ford Pass App to find chargers, authorize, and pay.

We have no idea what their rates will be, but we do know they don't have a membership they have to sign up for. It's live already.

edit: Looks like it's 11 cents more per kWh comparing what people are showing in their Ford app to what I'm seeing.

It's in the FordPass app

For those interested, that is not the FordPass app, that is from the Tesla app...

The FordPass app looks significantly different and doesn't have an option for the subscription.

I copied that from the Lightning forum and they said this was in the Ford Pass app.

This is what the FordPass app looks like for that site:

How many times can one company go bankrupt?

I actually saw a Fisker tonight at the Treasure Coast Mall. It really shocked me seeing it, as I haven't seen one for years, and I thought they were already bankrupt! LOL!

Hope they don't attract any worms.

… but it’s DUNE proof

OT but just want to say we saw pt2 today and it was so mind-blowing that I actually came away mildly liking Timothy Chalamet for the first time. Film was extremely well done.

Now we know who bought the Cybertruck at auction for almost $250K (Ford). See Elon's comment.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1763395847838949713

"Ford just paid $250k for a Cybertruck in the aftermarket and is testing it at its proving grounds near Detroit."

So...just so I make sure I understand correctly:

Ford just paid a bunch of money to bring a vehicle with a full set of cameras to its proving grounds. And those cameras could potentially live stream everything at those proving grounds right back to Tesla HQ.

Is that right?

Not weird if all 3 cars share a Plaid powertrain.

 

[MikeAtkinson]

Look at all the car transporters leaving Gigafactory Berlin in the first 2 minutes of this video. It is a burst of activity and not representative of the whole day, but still impressive.

New Elon interview:

Supercharger Revenue $1bn+ revenue business by 2030 started today with Ford

He sure sounds like Adrian Dittmann in that video.

He sounds fresh and rested. Glad to see he's getting a little sleep.
