But your "exec and auditor" "friend" for sure knows what is going on here, and we're all dopes for believing the email Elon sent, which must be fake. Care to share any of your "Open Source Intelligence Channels" on how people can get news on Tesla that can be trusted instead of just telling...

Suuuuuper useful for some management styles to know that everyone working for your is scared of losing their job and thus will not offer any pushback to what you request no matter how insane. What better way to find these people than to fire everyone, wait two weeks, and then offer the job back?

The energy always has to end up at the battery in DC form and go through a bunch of safeties, all of which apply to combined or separate pins. This is effectively identical in combined or separate pin configurations For instance, the CCS port doesn't have 400V DC on it until it communicates...

Fun Elon news: Tesla is advertising to get shareholders to approve the compensation package: https://electrek.co/2024/05/13/tesla-spends-ad-money-influence-shareholders-approval-elon-musk-55b-payday/ Elon, who hates advertising, and so clearly deserves his massive compensation package (sorry, I...

Got it. So what happens all the time in corporate America is that there are divisions with a few people taking kickbacks, this is a massive federal crime, so the company fires every single person in that division in order to avoid that federal investigation, then hires back some of the people...

Care to share any common examples of a company firing everyone in a division then re-hiring some back as a way to clean up a dirty division, rather than just firing the ones that are dirty? There should be a lot, right? What does your professional auditor friend say about the highly reported...

I would have thought with all of Tesla's AGI, this would have been the first thing they used Dojo for before using it to learn to drive.

And here it is. Elon is hiring back people after his highly planned firing of everyone as part of a well thought out strategy of punishing people for being disloyal: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-13/tesla-rehires-some-supercharger-workers-weeks-after-musk-s-culling...

I've mentioned it at least 3 times: Daniel Ho was laid off, but not his entire team. Laying off the whole new vehicles team would be even bigger news than the superchargers.

If you're going to play pendant, it works both ways. I said his "pay" not his "salary." The IRS taxes him on what Tesla gives him, and the shareholders have to vote on it. That's pay. And the pay being considered is higher than anyone else. Do you really want to go down the route of arguing...

Yeah, that's not FSD. Go look up images/videos of actual FSD options in those menus. Bring those to court and just honestly tell the Judge that you don't have FSD, that's not a lie. You don't have to report what the SC told you, that's just one random person on earth and the factual evidence of...

Unless you have evidence that Tinuuci was specifically told "you either fire 20% of your team or I will fire all of them" then this was in no way Tinucci's "trolley problem" choice. The whole point of the trolly problem is that you can see both outcomes. The most common public story is that she...

Any good manager will tell you that you only leave decisions up to people you trust. Why did Elon trust her enough to decide if 20% or 100% of people get laid off when he requested 20%? And did someone say Trolley problem? Ahh yes. More gaslighting. The enemy is both weak and strong. She was...

What data do you have for this in 2024? High ranking people are resigning in droves and posting stories about it on linkedin. It's not 2019 anymore. https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-exec-rich-otto-says-resigned-layoffs-hurt-morale-2024-5 That's from Rich Otto, the ex head of product...

Check that return policy before you buy. A company that can't align their primary website spec sheet with their VIN checker is to be questioned, especially with an extraordinary claim that they can add HP to a M3P with just a plug in device, which nobody has ever achieved before with any process.

Cool. So what "strategy" was involved in allowing Tinuuci to pick either laying off 20% of her team or laying off the whole team? Why did Elon leave that up to her instead of him? What is the well thought out strategy in not telling your customers that supposedly Superchargers will sill expand...

What do they mean by "you already have FSD"? Do you actually have it? Does the AP screen in the MCU give you the option to enable some sort of FSD? If not, who cares what the SC says? If you do and your argument is that you aren't getting updates quickly enough, that's trickier, but then you...

They made your argument for you- "you're already on the latest firmware for your configuration" Well guess what, that latest firmware for that configuration doesn't have FSD, despite 99% of cars having it. They just literally told you that you don't have the HW needed for FSD, despite the car...

@Vagus -Email to resolutions is too long. Short is way better. They'll never respond, and likely never even read it, so the only point of sending one is so you can show it to the court proving you asked, and making your future court claim very clear. Your story about how you are a supporter of...

I mean, let's not get crazy here. Asking the highest paid CEO in the world to strategize and deal with difficult situations? He's got right wing conspiracies to retweet and unconstitutional ideas to promote, as well as 5 other companies to micromanage! Leave him be. The hilarious thing is that...

Citation needed. Elon saw sales drop 20% and now is laying off 20% of people with no additional strategy. That's the exact reverse of planning, that's reacting.

It's not. Nowhere on the page does it indicate compatibility with an M3P.

People have run polls before on what following distance they use, and it always comes out this way. Half the people use 2-3 and the other half use 7 and say "it's too close." You dig a bit more, and the 2-3's are mostly in cities where anything more will just lead to another car in front of you...

I've had so many Elon apologists over the years decompose an Elon tweet using hyper pedantic language that I have learned how to do it. Let me try: The term "will" does not have to refer exclusively to the future from this moment. Note that he says they "will" open thousands of new chargers...

That article says "Now, let's see what they want to do for 2023/2024:" - That is not proof that Tesla is just feeding unlabeled videos at their NN and having it learn from those with no labeling or scoring applied. Like I said, of course that's the dream. Always a problem with absolutes when...

Source needed that Tesla is training FSD this way, without labeling or hand scoring these events. Just "show it a video and see how the driver reacts." This is not the way current NN's are taught. It's the dream, the hope, the fantasy for training a NN, but it doesn't work that way right now...

I guess that answers the question- it takes Tesla 44 days to solve a "minor technical snag" Neither of these tweets confirm that people are ACTUALLY getting the free trial. It looks to me to be an assumption based on the fact that V12 is in the build? The second tweet just says "eligible to...

A company easily spends 30%+ on taxes, benefits, stock options, etc for employees. The cost to a company is not just what the employee is paid directly. So this puts it closer to $200K "salary" on average. For an engineering team in a tech company (not a car company, right?) $200K is pretty...

This old trope is entertaining, but it doesn't help that all the Tech companies told the world that their systems would drive better than humans on our current roads, in combination with human drivers. Humans work fine with our current laws so why can't a "better" computer? It also doesn't help...

$1B sounds great until you realize: It's over 6 years, so that's $150M a year. Tesla laid of 500 people who had a salary over $150M a year Tesla is spending $10B PER YEAR on AI Elon wants 56X that as his pay. $150M is 0.2% of BP's profit per year. And we Think Tesla was inefficient? 3000...

Wait until you hear about permissive vs restrictive yellow lights, where 8 states have a law where if you're in the intersection at all when the light turns yellow, that's a paddlin'. Which means that to obey the law in those 8 states, a Tesla on FSD should theoretically absolutely hammer the...

I'm aware this screenshot from Reddit is either a complete misinterpretation by the service center, or is fake, but it tells you a lot that in May 2024, we're really not sure, and it could actually be a thing Elon did, especially after 2019's "Going forward, all expenses of any kind anywhere in...

The need to cut bolts only occurs if you replace the TOE arms. Which many people do along with CAMBER arms, but not always. I did not change my toe arms. It all depends on your goals and just how much camber you want to take out. I specifically took out as much camber as I could without changing...

Really? You think the only possibility here is that these cars had to be authorized within the last week? For a team working on NACS rollout for the last year, they didn't have a way for engineering vehicles to test charging that doesn't need constant maintenance by Tesla? Or that there isn't a...

GM engineers at a Supercharger? How does this prove or disprove that Tesla is working on SC's more? This requires zero Tesla interaction in the last few weeks.

Here is the email: Wouldn't a site that is receiving supercharger cabinets be reasonably interpreted as an "active" site? For all we know Tesla dropped those off because they are so chaotic inside that they didn't halt the delivery. There's nothing black and white about the above email, other...

My experience is that with the TC and AWD in the M3P, it completely dominates in the wet. I've run FTD by seconds in the wet against competition that usually beats me in the dry. I've even had days where it either dries out or rains later so I get to see both times and I just don't drop off by...

It's been discussed over and over in this thread and in the media. In the email that announced the dissolution of Tinucci's team (and other firings), Elon said: Many interpret this as that Tinucci pushed back on laying off 10-20% of her team, so Elon just terminated the whole team in reaction...

Isn't the Model 3 PAX when in the wet 1.087? ;) Nice job!

In the email that @zoomer0056 wants to pretend is fake and libelous, Tesla told contractors to complete work that is in progress, but not start any new work. Which would be completely inline with sites finishing and getting started in the last week, especially with any delay in reporting. The...

Not yet, but only because the 2024 M3P has wider rear tires. The brakes are identical, so the pads will fit. The expensive wheels will fit, but they would be undersized in the rear. But that doesn't mean they won't, and doesn't change the argument that Tesla absolutely does sell pricey options...

Out of spec podcast discussed it too: It's been a week with no alternate stories. How long are you going to hang onto the "fake news, distrust everyone until Tesla releases the email themselves" position?

Multiple contractors have confirmed receiving this email direct from someone at Tesla. They have removed the information about who sent it as they are trying to avoid getting their name in public. https://www.reddit.com/r/electricvehicles/s/NZ03l74Grs It's not fake, but nice try. Now let's...

That admittedly is a good sign, and hopefully is the future of Tesla Supercharger maintenance. The pessimist side is that this story is from a location 2 hours away from Tesla's headquarters in a state where Tesla is trying to gather favors, got a lot of news coverage, and may not reflect the...

Does NJ only have a pro national tour and not a normal Solo event? I had no idea the SCCA did that much less prioritizing the Pro.

You can buy a Model 3P with the most expensive paint, expensive interior, FSD, all accessories, and then add the track pack to get to $72K before tax. Since @EatsShoots uses the most extreme example of pricing a Toyota Tacoma (down to including sand recovery boards) means we should use the same...

He's worth $200B today with 12%, which is only about $65B in TSLA. So I was adding about $130B to whatever TSLA he would theoretically own because that's what he supposedly has in other places. 58% = $330B, plus $130B = $460B, which is as accurate to $500B as any numbers Elon ever gives. I'm...

They are referring to the claim in 2018 that there would be a $35K Model 3. Which actually did ship for a while in 2019, not 5 years later as claimed. I know two people that have had them since 2019. But they were rare and Tesla didn't really want to sell them given how well the more expensive...

Also, if Elon held 58% of shares in TSLA, he would have been worth $700B+ in 2022, making him the richest person on earth by about 3X, and he'd be worth about $500B today, instead of $200B. I mean, assuming being the majority shareholder didn't enable him to run Tesla into a much smaller...

I love that the link you shared as evidence that "Toyota is asking too much for vehicles" is titled "Is a Toyota Tacoma worth the price anymore when the alternative is a Toyota Tundra?" Clearly Toyota pricing is driving everyone to Toyotas 🤣 Who can afford a $72K Model 3 or a $128K Model S? Who...
