Dylan, Just have to say (from the bottom of my heart) that next to Rob Maurer, you have the best Tesla content going. I seriously look forward to your videos. Don’t change your style, your approach, your content……because, dude…..it’s working. Thanks for another quality piece of work. Michael McKinney
The reason why I subscribed to your channel is your integrity for your fellow human as well as your delivery of your varied and unbiased content. Thank you 🙏🏻
I think most of us have no problem with sponsors and such, we wish you the best success so you can keep bringing us amazingly informative videos. What people had a problem with was the ratio of content to sponsor. I believe I read in the comments that the sponsor section was 27% of the video. That is too much.
Great video today, just like every other day. I would like to suggest to you that a 12-minute video is not too long, especially with the topics you are addressing, 20 minutes + would be a pleasant length for me. There are however that push their limits at 10 minutes, just my opinion.
@@DillonLoomis22 i totally agree. Take as long as you want intact you might consider slowing down a tad. Channels like Torque News spends 10 minutes taking crap on one subject were you and Rob Moura cover give full concise info on everything relevant on the day. LOL, Tesla Insurance is available in Texas but you're not allowed to buy a car in Texas at this point. With regard to the 12 ton Gigapress, Tesla released a patient on this machine roughly 12 months ago. No surprising news there and Elon did tweet that it was probably unwise at this point. As for the material used i remember Sandy Munroe saying in his tear down of MY that he had never come are across the compound of material used. I suggest that this was done in partnership with Idra and the SpaceX metallurgist. Keep up the great work.
Obligations & contracts need to be addressed when Tesla asked for a $100 deposit at stated prices for the 3 models they advertised in 2019 (it did not state prices subject to change). In my mind...NO, you can't renege on a contractual (when TSLA asked for the deposit) agreement. Tesla, deal with it.
No, there will be no full body casting. Makes no logical sense for fabrication efficiency. 3 piece makes most sense. The battery pack can be independent for revisions, repair/replacement, Much higher rate of yield for smaller castings too.
Dillon, regarding the gigacast process, you have paraphrased, addressed the many technical questions I've had in mind. What happens to a cast body in an accident? (as an example). Thank you. As for sponsorship, "it's all about balance", if the sponsorship enriches or adds to the perceived value of the airing, or takes away from. Chose wisely. Each of us has a different tolerance level on this.
appreciate you my guy...not worried about them per se, just want to be clear and communicate with y'all where i'm coming from bc i do think about it and consider it much more than most people would think lol
Model Y LR in US $55k. Model Y LR in UK £55k (ie $75k). And once again we in the UK get shafted on price, even though the car is made only a few hundred miles away. It is as though they think we are unaware of exchange rates.
@@DillonLoomis22 This happens all the time, especially with consumer electronics. We often have to pay the dollar price in pounds, and as all suppliers seem to do this we in the UK are stuck
MY made in China until German plant is up and running. That won’t happen for a couple of months yet and up to a year for volume. Large shipping cost from China but they are gouging you that’s for sure.
Great video! 7 ,mins worth of news in 11 mins 7/11= 63% considering most other sites are 3/14 gives you a score of B+. Keep it coming. Love your demeanor. Make some educated guesses regarding Solar roof and energy storage and other sources of Tesla revenue.
I was in the same situation-a safety score of 99 which became 100 three days ago. I received the FSD beta software update today (which works), so I am also in the second capture group.
🤗 THANKS DILLON…For your PSA 😍and trying to be as transparent as possible 👀 …😞SAD BUT TRUE ..YOU CAN NEVER PLEASE EVERYONE..SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK …AND WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO 👍🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍
I think the real key to using large castings is modern computer modeling of heat transfer and where exactly to put the cooling/heating channels so that the casting cools down evenly even though the part thicknesses vary.
10:38 for a second I thought there's a new supercharger with solar panels integrated with a swimming pool resort, so you can swim and get a tan while charging, now that's an idea! Lol
It's probably "Dark Helmet" from Unplugged performance Randy Pobst won the 2021 pikes peak hill climb in it( modified model S Plaid ) That was like a week after it was released. They probably are the ones going to the track in Germany
1st thing I did after placing my Cybertruck Tri FSD order was check the small print that clearly pointed out that prices are not licked in. (except the FSD part). I'm about 305k in line so don't expect to get mine until 2024(+) I guess (and am in the UK, I will do what ever it takes to get a full size Cybertruck)
@@musaran2 haha well you know, if I thought giving those prices a good licking might beat them down some I might even try ;) Yup, you know it, the road size is no issue here in the UK. The Cybertruck is 86mm narrower and 96mm shorter than a medium wheelbase Ford Transit van which is one of the most common vans on our roads. No problem here at all :) I would even take a left hand drive as I plan to do a lot of driving in the EU too. That 6.5ft bed is too useful not to have and suspect the smaller EU model won't have it. (not in common use today in the UK, have to wonder where it came from lol : licking noun [S] (DEFEAT) - The home team were given a good licking)
With a score of 37, even with FSD being beta, it's still safer for everyone if he uses FSD instead of driving on the road. Giving him FSD is more a public service than for testing.
I think Ross Gerber is one of the strongest Tesla bull out there. Rewarding him with FSD beta I think was a bullish move. His score better improve our they will take it away from him. Recording with his phone is a stupid move but the nanny camera should nip activity in the but!
I think the change is in preparation for the tax incentives changing and making sure the pricing matches those incentives so that Tesla Cybertruck buyers can get the maximum incentive.
1 million castings per year is 2 castings per minute, or one every 30 seconds. I find this hard to believe. A cycle time of 4 minutes is a more realistic number that I have seen.
Dylan... You are entitled to earn a living. Don't shun sponsorship opportunities if the revenue helps you to live. Most (if not all) of us, come here for your content, and fully understand that this takes time, effort and expense to generate.
I think it’s a good business decision to give this influencer the FSD Beta. Social Media is a Great way to get the word out about how great Tesla is. Just sayen!
@@AudiTTQuattro2003 You mean just like all the other Tesla bulls that are filming their FSD drives and putting it on RUclips showing the good and the bad? I would refrain from using strawman just to attack Ross personally unless you have something of substance behind the claims.
You could cast the entire lower section of the car. Elon has talked about Matchbox car as a model. The 12k machine can do this. Sheet metal will bolt on top.
Dang, I've got to drive like grandpa to protect my "99" for another @#$% week. Since the broader rollout I've been driving my ICE car more to protect my score, the net effect is not a positive one...
Me too, Rick. You'll get your approval before I do (with a 98). Too bad the 100 scores didn't have to have 50 miles a day or 400 miles when they FSD beta.
There is no air to "press" out . It's flushed with argon. To prevent oxidation. There has been videos describing the pre heat of the casting . I see nothing new
On battery day they said it was "cold metal extrusion". Please google this. The metal is not heated or melted before it goes in the press. The metal is pressed. That's what the thousands of pounds of pressure does.
Lol, on Ross Gerber this isn't a tough one. Two weeks ago every FSD beta user was hand picked by Tesla as someone they wanted to have the program. This is just one more in addition to the people who "earned" their spot.
it's actually a friend of mine's coaching business - i'm not sure if he sells them anymore. if you're really interested shoot me an email theelectrifiedfuture@gmail.com i can find out!
@@elck3 When someone has been a major supporter of the company for a long time, maybe they deserve a little special handling. Maybe it's "unfair" that only people who drive like grandmothers can get the Beta version. Who does or doesn't get it is ultimately an arbitrary decision.
btw. Tesla insurance has arrived in Texas. just got a quote. Nice savings! oh, and pick whatever sponsors ya want.If we dont like it we can fast forward...lol
I appreciate, respect and support Dillon's "knight in white without a fault" kind of integrity through and through. I don't know whether he was referring to the critic I addressed on his last video for being sponsored by Omaze, but Omaze seems a lot less Omazing when you realise they are a for profit company. They are peddling the goodwill others built up from nothing and make themselves hypocritically look like they are the ones adding value to the society they belong to - as everyone should strive to achieve as much as they are able to. In addition to them bringing nothing good to the table, they lure and prey on the addicted gamblers for them to loose money as the odds of winning are a lot lower than in most lotteries and by a long shot.
hey guile, thank you for sharing your perspective. i do enjoy hearing where people are coming from. respectfully i'd have to disagree! they bring awareness and scale in a way these charities cannot and do not get on their own. i don't see any problem with making a profit in the process, it's essentially what america is founded upon lol and people are going to have gambling issues whether omaze exists or not, and in this case at least there is some amount of "good" that comes from it lol...cheers brotha
@@DillonLoomis22 Let's, then, respectfully agree to disagree. I'd argue some more, but I don't believe RUclips to be the best platform to do so. I enjoy and respect the work you do on this channel a whole lot and you really seem like an all around good guy, so I'll magnanimously and easily let this one slide right off. LOL Thank you, also, for taking the time to reply; it really means a lot.
@@DillonLoomis22 Also, just one more quick thing : America wasn't founded upon profit alone, it was profit for a purpose and the wealth gap ratio wasn't as important as it is nowadays. What makes any project going through hardship in order to be successful, in the end, is the collaboration of individuals and groups of individuals - way more so than competition. This is why for all the genius Elon Musk has, it makes me wonder why he didn't go through a cooperative model of business as soon as he could have... I hope he can eventually do it with Space X, hence leaving the greatest legacy for the advancement of humankind, in my humble opinion. It'd go hand in hand with implementing a citizen rent, as was in Andrew Yang's platform; the only one Elon publicly supported.
On the contrary, I appreciate, respect and support his "knight in white without a fault" kind of integrity through and through. I don't know whether Dillon was referring to the critic I addressed on his last video for being sponsored by Omaze, but Omaze seems a lot less Omazing when you realise they are a for profit company. They are peddling the goodwill others built up from nothing and make themselves hypocritically look like they are the ones adding value to the society they belong to - as everyone should strive to achieve as much as they are able to. In addition to them doing nothing good for themselves, they lure and pray on the addicted gamblers to loose money as the odds of winning are a lot lower than in most lotteries and by a long shot.
My safety score was 89 and I was quoted 95$ a month for the DFW area for tsla ins. . Good drivers would be 100 score and their quote seems to be just under 60. My progressive ins is about 120 right now
@@21simper sure looks that way. its insane. My score is low because I actually drove those miles. This week I went back to using AP and its all 98-100's.
None of the initial round of ~1000 beta testers were required to have perfect scores or be scored at all before having been granted access to the Beta program. Public rollout aside (in which heightened safety is very wise) I see no reasonable argument as to why Tesla should not continue to provide Beta access to whomever they see fit for whatever reason.
I do not agree. If they are holding back something I paid for, on the pretense of my driving scored by the beta software, then everyone should be evaluated based on their score. Or, refund my money!
@@kn944 THIS! We paid a reduced amount for future delivery of FSD SHOULD IT SUCCEED. It's not there yet. We had no expectation of being included in beta testing. That there is a path to have access to the beta is a to be a right.
Tesla can choose how they want. Ross is a big boy and knows he is under the microscope and he is a major investor, so Tesla made the choice. I imagine it also involved a phone call and perhaps an additional contract with Ross Gerber. Hey, I have a 98 and am an investor. I wonder if I can get it?
Tesla can choose whoever they want to give the Beta to, as well as revoke it. If they promise all 99s get it, that doesn't mean they can't also give it to others
Diecasting is not new. Diecasting such large parts is fairly new. What's innovated here is a car company getting away from stamp steel. I was a journeyman pattern maker for 15 years. Nice to see patterns finding a niche again.
With these huge body castings, aren’t some repairs gonna be insanely expensive or even impossible, whereas they would be repairable in a more traditionally built car !!??
*When it comes to the world of investing,most people don't know where to start.fortunately,great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance* .
Same here, I made $12,400 profits on investing since I started trading with Mr Frank donald his trading strategies are too notch am winning consistently trading with Mr Frank donald. He really the best broker I've made a lot of profit investing with him. .
After watching so many RUclips tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses untill Mr Frank donald started managing my investment now, I make $6,800 weekly. God bless Mr Frank donald . His been a blessing to my family.
Per Gerber FSD exception, there is nuance far and wide per similar stipulation, though within context here it does not seem justifiable - and poorly timed I might add.
@@yourcrazybear Do you see suppose there might be a differemt perception if the score were at leaat 70/80 rather near 40, the illtiming when under already biased/incentivised scrutiny?
@@yourcrazybear Divided reaction aside, the operative words there are "biased/incentivised scrutiny," unspokekn before though spelled out refering to all the federal pressure with teeth to help their legacy auto friends further. Consider the bigger picture pragmatics.
a mold capable of making a 1 piece body may not even be possible. the problem is you need a matched die which means the entire interion has to be a mold that can be removed . so it would have to have incredible amounts of action to collapse enough to be removed past the A , B pillars , the roof support etc. this thing has to withstand massive injection forces without those sections moving out of alignment then transform into somethin much smaller to be removed. the outside of the body would be less problematic but still huge.if it's even possible the tool would weigh maybe a few thousand TONS . i bet the tool they showed in berlin weighs several hundred tons . it's huge and on top of that if they make the side panels and door pillars out of high strength steel it will be stronger than aluminum and much cheaper. people who know nothing about manufacturing or molding spout off with their bullshit. most can't tell the difference between a stamping line and a casting machine.
Personally I am just about sick of this crap with the full self driving. I bought my model 3 and paid for the FSD over two years ago!. I use it 99 percent time every day I drive it. The car gave me a 97 score. I have no tickets no accidents for many years the FSD City should’ve went by Signoretti of who bought their cars early on that paid for the FSD and uses it. Not who makes videos. Nothing was ever said about a button to have your score judged when you paid for it. I have a lot of stock in Tesla for years and ordered the cyber truck the fist day when it was available to purchase. Now I’m sure a lot of us is going to get screwed around on the price If and when it ever comes available. You will probably need to get scored on that just to pick it up. I have been pimping and offending Tesla since before I even bought the model 3 those days are over. Just give it to all your buddies with a 37 score. Ravian truck is looking a lot better to me.
Giving FSD Beta to someone with a 37% score is In keeping with Elon's policy of not requiring requiring a diploma for employment. Hopefully Ross Gerber has the other requisite exceptional abilities.
Awesome thanks! I was so fascinated by the Berlin Gigafactory tour... just unreal. The hood stamping line and the giga-press rooms were really something. Looks like they will have plenty of room to expand production as the demand increases. Much cheaper to build bigger now than trying to add on later...
Are you serious?! You call stamping fascinating?! Its litteraly the oldest way of form manufacturing., wtf! I thought tesla could have implemented the use of recycled materials like bmw, volvo..... have been doing for years.
In fact BMW introduced way tooo much new technologies in the i3 that it didn't succeed the i3 already had giant castings, carbon fiber body and recycled materials/fiber panels....
@@DillonLoomis22 The factory is built to make it possible to scale up to 2 million vehicles without big construction works. On the grounds there is enough space to built another plant at least as big as this one.
@@alanmay7929 Easy there Tiger. Stamping has indeed been around forever. I used to trouble shoot, assemble and test high speed cold formers and headers... so I know a thing or two about the processes. The application of the stamping process is what is interesting to watch. I'm sure Tesla is continuing to evolve and develop their use of recycled materials. They can't do everything at once at the scale they are growing. Recycling, installing solar roof panels at their factories are all in the works. Patience...
W/ respect to Ross Gerber, is it possible that Tesla wants to start gauging “real” drivers on a limited basis? I never pressed the FSD button because my score might be a bit lower than Ross’ score. Hey I’ve got the quickest car around.. want me to drive like grandma?
Hello Dillon. I enjoy your content, but recently I have noticed most of your videos are just covering what is already within Reddit news. Not to squash your videos - but maybe a chapter that covers: Twitter news, Reddit & financial news, Other for example. That way users can skip to the chapter they want to review. Thank You.
Who wants to filter through all that social media. Come here and to the other RUclips channels for the news. Or stick to social media for the news. There’s only so much news each day to cover.
There are far more people who do not actively stare vs those who do stare at the endless social media sites for news, hearsay, or other wasteful info…so Dillon is, in the least, serving as a useful editor for many people in that regard.
hey kenneth, thanks for the feedback. each day i try to scoop up everything new picking up where rob leaves off the night before from all social media sites and compress it into a digestable, 8-14 (lol) minute segment to save everyone else the time. if the news and rumors happen to be more on reddit one week, there's not much i can do about that. but i always appreciate all feedback so thank you. enjoy your weekend!
The reality is, given the inflation in the raw materials AND the higher prices of cars generally, that those who have pre-ordered a Cybertruck are already sitting on a nice profit. There is no chance that those who hope to receive a Cybertruck within 3yrs from now will without a pre-order will pay $5-10k of the pre-order prices. Anyone who cancels their pre-order at this time is making at least a $5-10k mistake - likely more due to the expected EV tax credit - because they could sell their new Cybertruck once delivered for a fat quick profit. PS I hope Dillon didn’t say what I just typed because I wrote this note before starting his video…
I'm at 99 w/1700 miles. The Ross/37 score..meh, who cares...give it to everyone, esp folks who do free advertising (I have not received it yet, hopefully soon)
I don’t think Elon himself or many of his own engineers or testers could get a perfect safety score, so the number 100 is just to make sure total yahoos don’t mess up the car and give all of FSd a bad name.
8:30 I wonder what will eventually happen, eventually nobody wants to ensure Tesla's any more, except for Tesla themself who will do it for a very high price... But maybe I'm wrong, I hope I'm wrong actually.
@@incognitotorpedo42 I understand, but if your ensurance realises that Tesla isn't cheaper then them, then they realise Tesla knows something they don't know and then they realise they should raise their price because they see that Tesla thinks the odds are fairly high you might need ensurance.
Was the Ross Gerber thing maybe just a mistake? Does Elon know him? How would they even know which car was actually his? Are they just browsing Twitter all day looking for investors who want the beta? Seems odd.

Making a huge casting also increase the case of faulty pieces and rejects....
Re: Ross Gerber - He shouldn't have gotten FSD ahead of everyone else (even if he is helping pump the stock)
He's not really a Beta tester as much as he's an "influencer" and it's Elon's game he's got his own rules for winning

Nice garden.
It's probably "Dark Helmet" from Unplugged performance Randy Pobst won the 2021 pikes peak hill climb in it( modified model S Plaid ) That was like a week after it was released. They probably are the ones going to the track in Germany
Tesla already had influencers using the beta before the score was even a thing. Ross would fall into that category…

But, but... full size won't fit on UK's roads!!
And licking prices? Probably an English cuisine thing.
@@musaran2 haha well you know, if I thought giving those prices a good licking might beat them down some I might even try ;)
Yup, you know it, the road size is no issue here in the UK. The Cybertruck is 86mm narrower and 96mm shorter than a medium wheelbase Ford Transit van which is one of the most common vans on our roads. No problem here at all :)
I would even take a left hand drive as I plan to do a lot of driving in the EU too. That 6.5ft bed is too useful not to have and suspect the smaller EU model won't have it.
(not in common use today in the UK, have to wonder where it came from lol : licking noun [S] (DEFEAT) - The home team were given a good licking)
TSLA @ 843 by the end of the day! Whooo Hooo! It was a good day to buy.
I like your style! More POWER to you!
Dillon in the wild!
hahaha!
Ross is awesome. Just don’t crash, Ross!
With a score of 37, even with FSD being beta, it's still safer for everyone if he uses FSD instead of driving on the road. Giving him FSD is more a public service than for testing.
I think Ross Gerber is one of the strongest Tesla bull out there. Rewarding him with FSD beta I think was a bullish move. His score better improve our they will take it away from him. Recording with his phone is a stupid move but the nanny camera should nip activity in the but!
I think the change is in preparation for the tax incentives changing and making sure the pricing matches those incentives so that Tesla Cybertruck buyers can get the maximum incentive.
Ross Gerber gets it (with a 37 score) before me - and I PAID FOR IT in 2016 for my '17 MX ... and have a mid 90s score... What the F..K?
1 million castings per year is 2 castings per minute, or one every 30 seconds. I find this hard to believe. A cycle time of 4 minutes is a more realistic number that I have seen.
These people don't really know how die casting worlks, those castings will also need to be tested for failures.....
Dillon; Doubt anyone would object if the video ran somewhat longer.
you'd be surprised! haha but noted!
Can prices change on your pre-ordered CT ?

I think it’s a good business decision to give this influencer the FSD Beta. Social Media is a Great way to get the word out about how great Tesla is. Just sayen!
Yes. It's the right thing to do.
@@AudiTTQuattro2003 You mean just like all the other Tesla bulls that are filming their FSD drives and putting it on RUclips showing the good and the bad? I would refrain from using strawman just to attack Ross personally unless you have something of substance behind the claims.
Please do the TA here!
no worries roger, not going to stop doing it, just want to add some extra content to thank my patrons too!
You could cast the entire lower section of the car. Elon has talked about Matchbox car as a model. The 12k machine can do this. Sheet metal will bolt on top.
Dang, I've got to drive like grandpa to protect my "99" for another @#$% week. Since the broader rollout I've been driving my ICE car more to protect my score, the net effect is not a positive one...
I think those points are going to significantly reduce the fun in driving those cars, whats the point of owning a 400_500hp car?!
haha you can do it my man...hang in there! best of luck
Get a mountain bike, cars should not be driven like a wide receiver. Or pay the price.
Me too, Rick. You'll get your approval before I do (with a 98). Too bad the 100 scores didn't have to have 50 miles a day or 400 miles when they FSD beta.
@@toddsmith4280 lol.... cars are made to have fun with just like bikes, bicycles, rollers..... from drifting to offroad, overland.......
There is no air to "press" out .
It's flushed with argon.
To prevent oxidation.
There has been videos describing the pre heat of the casting .
I see nothing new
Love the show!
great to hear rick, thanks for sharing!
Who Tesla gives FSD to is not a "debate". It is their business and no one else. If it looks bad, they have to deal with it.
On battery day they said it was "cold metal extrusion". Please google this. The metal is not heated or melted before it goes in the press. The metal is pressed. That's what the thousands of pounds of pressure does.
Hey Dillion, why are the model Y’s so expensive in the UK
Lol, on Ross Gerber this isn't a tough one. Two weeks ago every FSD beta user was hand picked by Tesla as someone they wanted to have the program. This is just one more in addition to the people who "earned" their spot.
If you thought 830 was good wait til you see the close.
Where did you get that cereal shirt?
it's actually a friend of mine's coaching business - i'm not sure if he sells them anymore. if you're really interested shoot me an email theelectrifiedfuture@gmail.com i can find out!
@@DillonLoomis22 I want it too!
So evidently our good man Ross drives LIKE A MANIAC?!!!! LOL
Ross Gerber… good for him. He’s been a big Tesla bull and deserves to get FSD beta.
until he crashes with his phone stuck in his forehead.
More important he's been one of the key enablers financially for...a decade? One of the biggest stockholders.
It is completely unfair
@@elck3 No it's not.
@@elck3 When someone has been a major supporter of the company for a long time, maybe they deserve a little special handling. Maybe it's "unfair" that only people who drive like grandmothers can get the Beta version. Who does or doesn't get it is ultimately an arbitrary decision.
We broke the $830 mark. To the moon nonstop now 🚀
the UK price includes the 20% VAT tax so if you remove that it's comparable to us prices
btw. Tesla insurance has arrived in Texas. just got a quote. Nice savings! oh, and pick whatever sponsors ya want.If we dont like it we can fast forward...lol
haha yes, thank you mark! i always think that to myself and do it with many yt videos i watch lol nbd
I appreciate, respect and support Dillon's "knight in white without a fault" kind of integrity through and through. I don't know whether he was referring to the critic I addressed on his last video for being sponsored by Omaze, but Omaze seems a lot less Omazing when you realise they are a for profit company. They are peddling the goodwill others built up from nothing and make themselves hypocritically look like they are the ones adding value to the society they belong to - as everyone should strive to achieve as much as they are able to.
In addition to them bringing nothing good to the table, they lure and prey on the addicted gamblers for them to loose money as the odds of winning are a lot lower than in most lotteries and by a long shot.
hey guile, thank you for sharing your perspective. i do enjoy hearing where people are coming from. respectfully i'd have to disagree! they bring awareness and scale in a way these charities cannot and do not get on their own. i don't see any problem with making a profit in the process, it's essentially what america is founded upon lol
and people are going to have gambling issues whether omaze exists or not, and in this case at least there is some amount of "good" that comes from it lol...cheers brotha
@@DillonLoomis22
Let's, then, respectfully agree to disagree. I'd argue some more, but I don't believe RUclips to be the best platform to do so.
I enjoy and respect the work you do on this channel a whole lot and you really seem like an all around good guy, so I'll magnanimously and easily let this one slide right off. LOL
Thank you, also, for taking the time to reply; it really means a lot.
@@DillonLoomis22
Also, just one more quick thing : America wasn't founded upon profit alone, it was profit for a purpose and the wealth gap ratio wasn't as important as it is nowadays. What makes any project going through hardship in order to be successful, in the end, is the collaboration of individuals and groups of individuals - way more so than competition.
This is why for all the genius Elon Musk has, it makes me wonder why he didn't go through a cooperative model of business as soon as he could have... I hope he can eventually do it with Space X, hence leaving the greatest legacy for the advancement of humankind, in my humble opinion. It'd go hand in hand with implementing a citizen rent, as was in Andrew Yang's platform; the only one Elon publicly supported.
There may be a good reason why few low score drivers got FSD. Tesla needs to have examples of how bad drivers use FSD.
I don't think that is the reason here. It's more about being big influencers of a kind, which I don't have any problems with personally.
Does anyone know if Tesla is going to involved in COP 26 later this month?I know various companies are as well as governments etc.
Bro, even if you did a deal with the dark side; Shadow Kingdoms, it wouldn't bother me, content creators gotta do what they gotta do 🙌
On the contrary, I appreciate, respect and support his "knight in white without a fault" kind of integrity through and through.

you da man ian
So the insurance yearly premium will be about $600 for a good driver.... What premium would you normally expect in Texas???... Asking from Australia
My safety score was 89 and I was quoted 95$ a month for the DFW area for tsla ins. . Good drivers would be 100 score and their quote seems to be just under 60. My progressive ins is about 120 right now
@@Beachtrader0007 wow thanks... So if you can raise your score you could more than halve your insurance premium
@@21simper sure looks that way. its insane. My score is low because I actually drove those miles. This week I went back to using AP and its all 98-100's.
That t-shirt though!
haha my friend's coaching business! thanks!
None of the initial round of ~1000 beta testers were required to have perfect scores or be scored at all before having been granted access to the Beta program. Public rollout aside (in which heightened safety is very wise) I see no reasonable argument as to why Tesla should not continue to provide Beta access to whomever they see fit for whatever reason.
Agree. Plus other youtubers were added to FSD beta after the original 1000 and before the 1000 perfect 100's - Gali, Mauer....
Exactly. Also, Tesla never said that ONLY people with high scores would be getting the beta so they are not going back on their word.
I do not agree. If they are holding back something I paid for, on the pretense of my driving scored by the beta software, then everyone should be evaluated based on their score. Or, refund my money!
@@irvinwright4075 But it's still in Beta mode. You did not pay for being a tester of Beta mode. You paid for the end product. And so did I.
@@kn944 THIS! We paid a reduced amount for future delivery of FSD SHOULD IT SUCCEED. It's not there yet. We had no expectation of being included in beta testing. That there is a path to have access to the beta is a to be a right.
People were reserving Cybertruck by the hundreds, probably because we knew it could sell for more off the lot. I think this was to thwart it.
Tesla can choose how they want. Ross is a big boy and knows he is under the microscope and he is a major investor, so Tesla made the choice. I imagine it also involved a phone call and perhaps an additional contract with Ross Gerber. Hey, I have a 98 and am an investor. I wonder if I can get it?
Tesla can choose whoever they want to give the Beta to, as well as revoke it. If they promise all 99s get it, that doesn't mean they can't also give it to others
BUT, why is price in UK about 30% higher than in the states?!?!
Diecasting is not new.
Diecasting such large parts is fairly new. What's innovated here is a car company getting away from stamp steel. I was a journeyman pattern maker for 15 years.
Nice to see patterns finding a niche again.
As long as they don't cancel my order for a CT3M .. I don't mind
With these huge body castings, aren’t some repairs gonna be insanely expensive or even impossible, whereas they would be repairable in a more traditionally built car !!??

Don’t confuse pressing with casting. Elon said no full body casting, he did not say no full body pressing.
Per Gerber FSD exception, there is nuance far and wide per similar stipulation, though within context here it does not seem justifiable - and poorly timed I might add.
There is nothing wrong with given the beta to him.
@@yourcrazybear Do you see suppose there might be a differemt perception if the score were at leaat 70/80 rather near 40, the illtiming when under already biased/incentivised scrutiny?
@@ryvyr For those people that reacted negative to this news? Perhaps. But they would never be happy about it either way.
@@yourcrazybear Divided reaction aside, the operative words there are "biased/incentivised scrutiny," unspokekn before though spelled out refering to all the federal pressure with teeth to help their legacy auto friends further. Consider the bigger picture pragmatics.
a mold capable of making a 1 piece body may not even be possible. the problem is you need a matched die which means the entire interion has to be a mold that can be removed . so it would have to have incredible amounts of action to collapse enough to be removed past the A , B pillars , the roof support etc. this thing has to withstand massive injection forces without those sections moving out of alignment then transform into somethin much smaller to be removed. the outside of the body would be less problematic but still huge.if it's even possible the tool would weigh maybe a few thousand TONS . i bet the tool they showed in berlin weighs several hundred tons . it's huge and on top of that if they make the side panels and door pillars out of high strength steel it will be stronger than aluminum and much cheaper.
people who know nothing about manufacturing or molding spout off with their bullshit. most can't tell the difference between a stamping line and a casting machine.
Making a giant casting will also increase the errors or defaults in the giant piece. There is a reason why cars have different materials.
Personally I am just about sick of this crap with the full self driving. I bought my model 3 and paid for the FSD over two years ago!. I use it 99 percent time every day I drive it. The car gave me a 97 score. I have no tickets no accidents for many years the FSD City should’ve went by Signoretti of who bought their cars early on that paid for the FSD and uses it. Not who makes videos. Nothing was ever said about a button to have your score judged when you paid for it. I have a lot of stock in Tesla for years and ordered the cyber truck the fist day when it was available to purchase. Now I’m sure a lot of us is going to get screwed around on the price If and when it ever comes available. You will probably need to get scored on that just to pick it up. I have been pimping and offending Tesla since before I even bought the model 3 those days are over. Just give it to all your buddies with a 37 score. Ravian truck is looking a lot better to me.
Giving FSD Beta to someone with a 37% score is In keeping with Elon's policy of not requiring requiring a diploma for employment. Hopefully Ross Gerber has the other requisite exceptional abilities.
How'd he know a flashlight isn't enriching my life at this point?
Awesome thanks! I was so fascinated by the Berlin Gigafactory tour... just unreal. The hood stamping line and the giga-press rooms were really something. Looks like they will have plenty of room to expand production as the demand increases. Much cheaper to build bigger now than trying to add on later...
totally agree...set up for years of expansion...hence the delay for the next giga locations imho! exciting times :)
Are you serious?! You call stamping fascinating?! Its litteraly the oldest way of form manufacturing., wtf! I thought tesla could have implemented the use of recycled materials like bmw, volvo..... have been doing for years.
In fact BMW introduced way tooo much new technologies in the i3 that it didn't succeed the i3 already had giant castings, carbon fiber body and recycled materials/fiber panels....
@@DillonLoomis22 The factory is built to make it possible to scale up to 2 million vehicles without big construction works.
On the grounds there is enough space to built another plant at least as big as this one.
@@alanmay7929 Easy there Tiger. Stamping has indeed been around forever. I used to trouble shoot, assemble and test high speed cold formers and headers... so I know a thing or two about the processes. The application of the stamping process is what is interesting to watch.
I'm sure Tesla is continuing to evolve and develop their use of recycled materials. They can't do everything at once at the scale they are growing. Recycling, installing solar roof panels at their factories are all in the works. Patience...
thank you blessings
blessings fam!
@@DillonLoomis22 keep up the good work lot F.U.D toxic leadership
Agree
W/ respect to Ross Gerber, is it possible that Tesla wants to start gauging “real” drivers on a limited basis?
I never pressed the FSD button because my score might be a bit lower than Ross’ score. Hey I’ve got the quickest car around.. want me to drive like grandma?
Hello Dillon. I enjoy your content, but recently I have noticed most of your videos are just covering what is already within Reddit news. Not to squash your videos - but maybe a chapter that covers: Twitter news, Reddit & financial news, Other for example. That way users can skip to the chapter they want to review. Thank You.
Who wants to filter through all that social media. Come here and to the other RUclips channels for the news. Or stick to social media for the news. There’s only so much news each day to cover.
There are far more people who do not actively stare vs those who do stare at the endless social media sites for news, hearsay, or other wasteful info…so Dillon is, in the least, serving as a useful editor for many people in that regard.
hey kenneth, thanks for the feedback. each day i try to scoop up everything new picking up where rob leaves off the night before from all social media sites and compress it into a digestable, 8-14 (lol) minute segment to save everyone else the time. if the news and rumors happen to be more on reddit one week, there's not much i can do about that. but i always appreciate all feedback so thank you. enjoy your weekend!
@@DillonLoomis22 uh. I dont go to all those other places..I come here..and tesla daily..thats it.
It took me a week to figure out that the safety meter thing is rigged. I’m not complaining, just aware. Waiting patiently for FSD.
Rigged? Are you sure you understand what's going on?
if by rigged you mean imperfect, i totally agree haha
The reality is, given the inflation in the raw materials AND the higher prices of cars generally, that those who have pre-ordered a Cybertruck are already sitting on a nice profit. There is no chance that those who hope to receive a Cybertruck within 3yrs from now will without a pre-order will pay $5-10k of the pre-order prices.
Anyone who cancels their pre-order at this time is making at least a $5-10k mistake - likely more due to the expected EV tax credit - because they could sell their new Cybertruck once delivered for a fat quick profit.
PS I hope Dillon didn’t say what I just typed because I wrote this note before starting his video…
Cybertruck price is NOT locked in. Only FSD price.
I'm at 99 w/1700 miles. The Ross/37 score..meh, who cares...give it to everyone, esp folks who do free advertising (I have not received it yet, hopefully soon)
TSLA ended day at $843!! Wow!
$1000 this year is quite possible now.
I don’t think Elon himself or many of his own engineers or testers could get a perfect safety score, so the number 100 is just to make sure total yahoos don’t mess up the car and give all of FSd a bad name.
Ross Gerber has a low safety score, but who is the owner of that Tesla that Ross is driving, and which account is logged in?
8:30 I wonder what will eventually happen, eventually nobody wants to ensure Tesla's any more, except for Tesla themself who will do it for a very high price... But maybe I'm wrong, I hope I'm wrong actually.
The insurance on my Model S is already cheap. I doubt that Tesla would charge me less, given the way I drive.
@@incognitotorpedo42 I understand, but if your ensurance realises that Tesla isn't cheaper then them, then they realise Tesla knows something they don't know and then they realise they should raise their price because they see that Tesla thinks the odds are fairly high you might need ensurance.
Was the Ross Gerber thing maybe just a mistake? Does Elon know him? How would they even know which car was actually his? Are they just browsing Twitter all day looking for investors who want the beta? Seems odd.
