Short manipulation is most effective when volume is low. We saw that during the July 4th week.

That's a good point. For that reason alone, the Model Y probably shouldn't have FWD. Also, your other reason cited, the likelyhood of a user forgetting about it being open when repositioning, is a good reason not to have them. Regular doors would be much better on the Y. So I expect the Y to have regular doors.
Idle prediction based on nothing at all; SP will sorta flounder for the next 20-25 mins and then somebody will decisively pull it up above 340 in the last minute or two

Interesting that the Seeking Alpha editors actually flat out change bullish headlines to bearish ones:
I agree....and remember a hat depends on it!
(bolding mine)
Some existing threads here at TMC :
Some starlink/satellite stuff (out of MA)
Super fast Internet via SpaceX Satellites / Starlink
SpaceX Internet Satellite Network: Starlink
And if you really want to get technical, I suggest heading over to NSF :
SpaceX - now a satellite manufacturer (Starlink)
SpaceX - now a satellite (constellation) operator?
And to point out one thing I haven't seen mentioned today / this time around, even if they did install Starlink terminals on cars, they couldn't eliminate cellular service, because there's a density limit to how many terminals can be served in a given area (as there is a maximum number of spot beams that can overlap, and each beam can only serve so many terminals, etc). So aside from pesky buildings getting in the way in skyscraper towntown scenarios, even in suburban areas they couldn't necessarily rely only on Starlink for data.
Now, let's take further discussion to one of these other threads
The industry standard is Corning SMF-28E fiber, which has a refractive index of roughly 1.47 (it varies slightly with wavelength), so light travels approximately 68% as fast in singlemode fiber as in a vacuum. (But I admit, 2/3 is an easier rule of thumb
)Also, as others have mentioned when this subject came up before, the fiber optic lines are not always laid out the most efficiently, so there is some percentage of overhead that needs to be added for the indirect routing.
And to think I was gonna get an iPace instead of a Model 3 since bankwupcy would cramp the supercharger network just a little bit.
That's what I remember being called a "sell wall" from my BTC days.
I hope that Ys won't have Falcon Wing doors. Remember: when Elon wanted to make 3 a mass market model, he stated that everything needs to be simplified to knock the costs down. No self-presenting door handles. No power liftgate trunk. Less aluminium, more iron. etc.
B/c Y will be a larger profile than 3, it will likely cost more than 3. We don't need extra complexities like wing doors. I believe that Y should be a mass market vehicle made as cheap as possible. You like Falcon Wing doors and have extra money for that - buy model X. If you like CUV form factor, but don't have too much spare money - buy Y and help transition the world to the sustainable energy.

Middle class folks that keep their cars 5 plus years don't want to worry about out of warranty FWD repairs.
FWD is what keeps Model X 2nd worst in Consumer Reports reliability ratings.
We don't want Model Y to be a regular on CR's Top Ten Least Reliable Cars sold in the USA list.
If one if following this entry, If GM gets to 37.2 I'm taking the quick exit.
