Been thinking... pressurizing a battery chamber is a nice idea, but why do it on CT and not on other models? Designed-to-float is one theory, here's another.
We heard about this meeting, it doesn't sound like they gave you a better rate. Anyone hurt or scratched?Had a meeting with my ins broker yesterday. Highly interesting on a number of fronts. But to the point - more car insurance rate increases coming in this year across the board. This is going to get worse.
Yes, this is the conventional wisdom as I mentioned.Most likely because the CT is the only Tesla vehicle designed with the intention to be used off-road, fording water crossings, etc.
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg sang about it as well in the early ‘90s classic Nuthin’ but a GDP ThangYes, a lot of this and that going on.

Well, you mentioned "designed to float" and I don't think that really was a design parameter. They have mentioned how the door seals might need to be improved in later models to allow for that.Yes, this is the conventional wisdom as I mentioned.
Exactly as predicted. Now FSD is end to end Neural Networks, the release cadence for updates is going to be tons faster.NEWS: Tesla FSD (Supervised) v12.3.4 is now rolling out to some Tesla employees.
When interest rates come down to what? The neutral rate now is probably mid 3% or even above 4%, Powell has already said he doesn’t expect rates to come back down to where they are pre-COVID and they were 2.25-2.5% at that time.
Fed Funds rate coming down also don’t mean the long end of the curve will come down, 5-10 year yields could still stay elevated for longer — the US has an insane amount of debt to sell.
There are currently no signs interest rates need to come down any time soon, expectations for rate cuts will likely walk up as we move through the year and it’s possible we get zero cuts this year.
Next year rate cuts could be offset by potential losses from the IRA tax credit requirements changing, between %s increasing and the exclusion of Chinese battery components.
All insurance markets are affected when any given insurance sector has inordinate losses. That is simply because the reinsurance market serves all sectors.We heard about this meeting, it doesn't sound like they gave you a better rate. Anyone hurt or scratched?
Can you elaborate, please? This statement was for auto insurance in general for ICE and BEV? Any theories or other conclusions? Is this an EV symptom like from a dwindling ICE market with limited access to the Tesla market channels? Thx!
No, actually I can reduce my vehicle rates via a number of ways. Indeed, as much as 60%+. So I can undo all the rate increases and future one if I want. I am likely to make a good stab at it without significant sacrifice at my end.We heard about this meeting, it doesn't sound like they gave you a better rate. Anyone hurt or scratched?

Of course, a 4680 that’s ~40% taller is then a ~46110, unless you commensurately alter the diameter so it’s a (WAG) 52110…..
Also discussed at meeting. Local or lack of local competition can affect rates. I am in the middle of nowhere vs a place like LA County.As a counter point, after State Farm raised my rate 40% over a period of under 2 years (with clear claims history), I found Progressive would provide equal coverage for nearly half the cost of the most recent State Farm renewal bill. Comparison based on total annual cost. State Farm max period offered was six month coverage, Progressive offered annual coverage and payment.
Any competitive business will eventually be forced to bring their prices down to meet the other player's rates. This seems to be happening. I'm not sure what their actuaries were basing the rate increases on, but it seems there may be lower rates looming on the horizon if my recent experience represents any sort of trend.
I think they will stay focused on the 4680, both in production volume and meeting the original specs on battery day. I believe the Model 3 not having the federal tax credit is indirectly a result the of slow ramp on the 4680. The 4680 should be in the Model Y (it is not currently) which frees up 2170 from Nevada for the Model 3.Of course, a 4680 that’s ~40% taller is then a ~46110, unless you commensurately alter the diameter so it’s a (WAG) 52110…..
….after all the delay in bringing the 4680 form to scaled production, do we potentially have that to look forward to?
