Wondering if Tesla will let Porsche have the track records after this go round...interested to see how far Tesla wants to push the Model S Plaid - 18 seconds faster is not nothing. Also very curious to see how track capable Roadster is - don't forget to check out Surfshark if you're interested: surfshark.deals/electrified :)
Roadster
Would be so funny, if the roadster's SpaceX package also comes with side boaters to take sharp corners faster 🤣
It's a long shot, but M3 Ludicrous?
.
THAT would be "embarrassing" for Rim... I mean "Porsche"
(Let's be honest, we know where the extra performance came from)
I retired from the solar industry and I agree 100% that the utility grid and utility bureaucracy in this country is stifling to business.
I drive Tesla now for about 7 years and can confirm that a lot of my friends needed some years to first think about buying a EV and second now actually buying one. They asked a lot of questions a long the way wich I always answered with: „I don‘t know how Audi, Porsche, BMW or VW are doing but driving a Tesla I seriously not a problem a all. I enjoy every day. Never had any problem“ Then I explained a lot about software, over the air updates and charging infrastructure. Most of my friends ended up buying a Tesla Model Y and all of the are happy over all. One friend bought an Audi E Tron GT and his wife bought a Tesla Model 3. After a few years living with both brands and experiencing long trips with both (we are in Germany) she switched to Model Y and he just ordered a Model S. Actually they just tried the Audi once for a vacation trip and after that the ONLY took the Model 3. And that was because of charging , room for luggage and ease of use from the Tesla. Type in your destination and just go. My friend also reported that the Audi had about 2 Software Updates and he always had to bring it to the dealership for about 2 days. And on the other side the Model 3 had software updates all the time. Just over the air in like 20-40 Minutes. So he said that is such a huge difference, he would not expect that before.
So I thing there is still a lot of people out there needing some information about all the benefits of driving an EV and how outstanding the Tesla experience is. Advertisement could help here. But the story of a friend does more I think. (Sorry for wrong spelling if there is any)
Fantastic account (Your spelling and grammar is better than many!)
.
This is another example demonstrating that Tesla builds a "System", not just a "car".
👍
Rohan Patel is totally right that we need to fix our broken systems for approving utility grid connections and construction in general. This is standing in the way of our clean future.
Watch the Megapactory in Shanghai go up in 6 months.
It's actually interesting that "conservationists" are allowed to disturb and scare away the hibernation of various animals in the forest, but partial clearing of the forest is strictly forbidden precisely because of this.
Those terrorists use the laws against the people.
To be clear, the spruce "forest“ surrounding Giga Berlin is a "Nutzwald" planted to harvest wood for manufacturing paper and carton. These Spruces are also pruned back and do not have their natural full grown needle crown - only the last few meters at the top are left to grow naturally. In these „Nutzwäldern" there is no good climate as the tree's crowns do not protect enough from the sun and there the ground around them is dry and not allowing for a diverse ecosystem.
The type of Forest can be chopped down and new trees can be - must be - planed somewhere else. Tesla committed to replenishing proper forests elsewhere in the region by I believe at least 3x the amount of what was chopped down. It should be in everyone’s interests for this to happen.
Furthermore, those people that have taken camp in this forest are also doing something illegal. We have the BWaldG (Bundeswaldgesetz) - a law specific to everything regarding Forests. According to this law, it is absolutely not allowed to erect any permanent structures or significant temporary structures that disturb the forest - Not even the usual ground camping in a tent is allowed. You can however do something called Biwak - You gather fallen sticks (not removing branches from trees) and with a cord arrange them that they allow you to either can lean further branches with leaves against it or throw a tarp over. The version made out of all branches and leaves you can see often in German forests.
Long story short: those campers are lucky they have not been forcefully removed right away for doing something very illegal - probably because they do it in a "Nutzwald"
@@Vardraq You forget the real reason why Greta and their german brethren are so vehemently protesting against Elon.
Elon = Bad.
Diesel = Good.
Otherwise they would have already burned down Wolfsburg and Salzgitter before thinking about hurting the only clean energy production in Germany, besides Meyer-Burger.
@@Vardraq Agreed, it's intent and design was as a field to be harvested. These trees are typically engineered to grow fast and if Tesla is replanting somewhere else, I don't see how their actions would be different than the intended use of the field of trees in the first place.
I think the forest thing is about the protest against the factory expansion in general. One way to blockade the project, but not necessarily because this specific forest is particularly valuable. Also, they want to cut down the forest anyway, so what's the real damage here...
Cars without a driving assistance system are more in need of a driver attention monitoring system. We all know that drib vers text and actually fall asleep at the wheel, companies know that… so why are only companies that already have a driving assistance system need to have a driver monitoring system? If one is needed, all companies need to install it.
In the U.S EV deliveries in 2022 918K and grew 30% in 2023 to 1.2M . 30% growth is not demand slowing. In 2024 one of every new vehicle delivered in the U.S. will be Electric. Facts are an amazing thing
"Reads like a comic book"
Best line ever!
Don't underestimate Toyota's ability to make a great plan and walk away from it.
@@user-gv4cx7vz8t "Don't underestimate Toyota's ability to make a great plan and walk away from it."
A great plan? They are shifting between trash talking BEVs and claiming that they are leaders. And now they have simple published a wish list.
😂 glad you liked that haha
@@yourcrazybear They would be the only firm that could have an iterative but simultaneous development of several battery technologies & lead implementations of diverse batteries over succesive years. It would be very expensive to do so, but they could dominate EV power sources for a decade or more. I predict they won't, but instead play leapfrog and lead only once or twice if their choices are timely and lucky.
Thanks for the shout out on the Basecamp video!
Could you kindly leave your graphic interjections up long enough for most people to read them. It is extremely annoying having to rewind to exactly the right tiny time spot and then freeze that frame. Thanks for giving this suggestion your consideration.
Best Tesla and related channel on YT. 👍🏼
Go Dillon!! Appreciate all you do!!
Only a small and loud percentage hates the Cybertruck. The more they make , the more the hate babies are throwing their toys out of the pram.
The Cybertruck, Semi, and now the Roadster are gigantic advertising for Tesla! They are now selling every car they can make so
creating more customers is not the problem but building Name Recognition will be necessary with more mass production!
My wife saw a Cybertruck in Issaquah, WA the other day and now it is her ideal next vehicle to purchase. Apparently, she looked up the crash test videos and saw that a driver will most likely only be bruised and shocked from a side-impact, while it is questionable if she would survive a similar accident in her Subaru Forester. She spent a couple of hours talking about the Cybertruck over the next couple of days.
Now THAT would make a good ad.
Range Anxiety. No ICE driver is going to feel better based on advertisement. Their anxiety will only be reduced when they have the opportunity to operate a Tesla over a couple of days, acknowledging the anxiety and noticing the anxiety diminishing with experience.
The exposure to superchargers and the car’s software is essential. Regrettably, without at home charging or extensive destination charging their experience will only alleviate breather that remove their anxiety.
Some don't want to even think about software -- "ease of use" and physical hardware will win Luddites. ie. Rivian's door flashlight.
Another great one, thanks Dillon!
About the need for advertising, Jeff Lutz recently suggested that Tesla should track Public Awareness Metrics around the various aspects of EV and Tesla ownership, and report on them on the quarterly earnings calls. The next wave of EV adopters needs more and better information. Also, a lot of Americans don't think of Tesla as an American company--another indication that there's still a lot of work to be done in this area.
It's important to recognize that while Reddit is full of CT hate, the real world is also skewed because the average person isn't going to go out of their way to come up to a vehicle owner and tell them that they hate it.
Good! I want my CT. And revel in the envy and heartfelt hatred of all lesser ones.
I think you are right that the performance numbers shown in the source code (at 9:41) are out-of-date and incorrect.
This year will be for accumulating shares. Doesnt seem like we should expect any upwards stock movements.
Tesla would have saved themselves a lot of legal and regulatory headaches had they just added the word “Assist” to Autopilot and FSD until they are truly ready for a level 3 and 4 system.
Totally agree on advertising. Word of mouth recommendation is the best
If Toyota produced 100k Prius Primes with 50 miles of range, they would sell every single one of them in 1 week in the US alone
If Pfizer comes out with a new COVID vaccine, people would line up also....your point?
Relating to ICE owner's EV worries, I agree completely that they are more likely to believe friends and family than ads. Another possible influence is seeing out-of-state license plates on EVs - preferably from as far away as possible. Nothing defuses road-trip anxiety quite as much as positive proof that others are successfully making long road trips in EVs.
Dillon! The Toyota battery plans, throw them into the prediction tracker! 😊
A comment on the Cybertruck parking video... It's a click bait hype video. I don't own a larger truck or SUV, however, I've driven them via friends and or family. ALL trucks have the issue of not being able to see your front clearance and I had ZERO issues parking them close to things. A person with good spatial reasoning and aptitude can be aware and understand where they are in space without a camera. It's a nice to have, but definitely not needed.
If Tesla Would lease us a Model Y, and then let us BUY in 3 yrs for the residual. That would MAKE the deal for me. Or a 10 year loan that's less than 7 percent interest.
In regards to possible advertising you sparked a thought. What if Tesla across the nation city to city w clips of local folks touting their Tesla, calling out their family and friends w EV’s, not just Tesla, talking about all the benefits and why they love their EV and would never go back.
That would be a great approach, but they also need some educational ads to deal with EV disinformation and FUD, and just to bring people up to date on things like the IRA.
around 15:00 agreed. Tesla should not pick and choose who to take action for selling (or attempting to sell) their CT.
@Dillon, I agree that the advantages of BEVs has to be experienced and is not easy to convey, but in the end the only thing that truly will move the opinion is the price, when we see sub $25K BEVs they will start to sell in volume. What is the true TAM at +$40K, so what could Tesla gain at the current price point?
yep, agreed. we will really find out this year what tesla's TAM looks like in the $50k range since early adopters are mostly satiated
I would like to hear continuing development news of ways for AVs to identify themselves externally to pedestrians, cyclists, & other drivers. Suggestions have included blue external marker lights, flashing in the direction of pedestrians or cyclists to acknowledge recognition of their presence, relinquishing right of way & waiting to proceed, coordinating interaction between multiple AVs, etcetera.
This shortfall on target numbers explains the continually dropping share value.
From now on, I will own nothing else but a Tesla. Tesla software and other engineering is way ahead of the rest.
Tesla is advertising! Just saw a Tesla ad here on RUclips before a Hyperchange video. No idea why they're showing it to me, but there it was. Highly polished and was set up for education, it was about traction and regen. Crazy to see an ad for the first time after having followed the company for nearly a decade.
Great episode. About Tesla ads and awareness: the problem on social media is that negative sensationalism loves meme brands. Tesla is up against ignorance and the ICE lobby already, add the built-in haters on social, and it looks bad. However, facts always win in the end and social has no substance long term. I would favour Tesla infomercials about the cars, megapacks, solar, etc., but don't expect to overturn social media sentiment. Social is the home of ignorance.
The Martin Viecha segment was most enlightening and finally gives a valid reason why Tesla must advertise and what information it needs to impart to win over the next market segment. The days of being battery supply constraint are coming to an end soon and with it the excuse not to advertise.
Advertising when you don’t have spare capacity is as efficient as burning money
not true, improving brand recognition and dispelling false narratives is always valuable long term
but I'm still against spending on advertising or PR, it's not useless but it's also not necessary, and Tesla's culture is clearly better off without it factoring into their decisions imo
Tesla does not need to educate anyone. They will educate themselves when it can save them money.
If doing your own taxes could save you $5k everyone would do their own.
When family buys Tesla and says they get 300 miles for just $9, the other family members will listen. Then you tell them is it a 450hp car. :)
The rear M3 ludicrous is rumoured to have a rear motor with peak power at over 60mph rather than mid 40s, for the performance so 3.2 0-60mph could be correct whilst having a much reduced 0-100mph?
If the rear one can't stay clean in wet/snowy weather, the front facing one has no chance.
Are there new hub caps for the Cybertruck yet?
not yet
One important caveat to keep in mind is that Tesla consistently leaves six times the legal amount of phosphorous and nitrogen compounds in their wastewater and, unlike VW, they built their factory in a legally designated water protection zone, where the drinking water is sourced from the ground water. Which is a key factor as to why so many are critical of the factory. So it's great if they actually turn out to be more efficient than other companies, but that doesn't adress the root issue.
lol front camera freak out haha pretty telling that some have never driven a truck.
Exactly! It's the big fish that sold that needs addressed
Me, on a roof, listening while installing gutter guards with my power tools, “yeah, that’s a fair point about protecting data privacy.”
hahaha 😂
Replace these lawyers with personal responsibility
Yeah. Personal responsibility seems to be under attack in the developed world.
23:34 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My guys got volume profile and trends up on the chart. Are you a position, swing or day trader? :)
You've been funk-ta-fied ⚡️
Dillon can confirm that Travis Scott had taken ownership of a cybertruck from a dealership (I think it was a Lamborghini dealership) he did pay well into the $200k
yeah i just saw him pull up to a wwe event in it!
I think Tesla ought to change the name "FSD" to something that suggests the need for continuous driver monitoring. If it eventually reaches the stage where it can drive WITHOUT driver monitoring, THEN they can use the term FSD if they still want to. How about MSD for now - Monitored Self Driving? Or mFSD - monitored full self driving. When monitoring is no longer needed they call it aFSD - autonomous full self driving.
Three times the cost to beat the Telsa Model S track times and still slower in a straight line. Great job Porche!
The model 3 ludicrous has the new rear motor (that is much more powerful) with a power curve that gives a peak output at around 60mph. This mean the 0-62 might not be that much better than a current performance Tesla, but its pick up at higher speed, especially around 60mph will be much much quicker. For most people this is more usable as it allows overtaking in the real world.
TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP - SHOULD BE COMMUNICATED AS SHOULD SAFETY, convenience and environmental benefits : )
If the show me the vin website didn’t get the vehicles from Tesla (did they get them at auctions?), Tesla would have zero grounds to go after them.
Anyone is perfectly able to sell a car they own for any price they want unless they have an agreement with someone else (like a purchase agreement with Tesla) that prevents that.
I've long thought at least 500k per yr CT demand easily.
Perhaps you're not familiar with the depreciation curve of any BMW
I don't think Tesla was sandbagging on demand, but on supply. We need to remember that Cyber Truck is a new manufacturing process with paradigm shifting technology on it's first mass manufacturing debut. There are still manufacturing savings to be gained by increasing unit volumes on the new tech, but it's likely limited by how fast Tesla can get a Cyber Truck line to run. Manufacturing is Hard.
So, the Semi production is delayed, surprise, surprise... not
You are forgiven for neither noticing nor being informed a flurry of social media based infomercials extolling Tesla virtues, strengths, products, & otherwise filling in the blanks for uninformed Tesla doubters & haters. I personally noticed 2 from different sources saying similar things in similar sequence, leading me to realize the commercial boiler plate.
Always nice when you talk about Germany. You probably think „ what the hell are these Germans doing???“ LoL 😉
Tesla needs to open more delivery / service / collision centers. You should not have to drive hours to get your car serviced or repaired after an accident. Northern Indiana is a Tesla desert with the only repair / collision centers being in Chicago. What a traffic nightmare. Tesla needs to plan out service centers like they plan out charging stations. You should only have to drive so far to get to one. You should not have to travel to the next state to get your vehicle repaired.
I agree that the driver is ultimately responsible but with past court cases like the lady at mcdonald's dumping the coffee in her lap and winning the judges really need to use some common sense in deciding these cases.
Due to the price gap between the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, you can count on many going for the Plaid over the GT, but a company that should be fearful of market share dropping should be Lucid. Not that the Air Sapphire has been blowing out sales, if someone said I could be the Taycan Turbo GT or Air Sapphire, I would go GT. This niche super performance EV sedan market just got cut up more and I think Lucid is going to have a smaller slice of that market.
Porsche buyers would never buy a Tesla. Just as Ferrari buyers would never buy a Lambo.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 I am sure there are Porsche owners who bought Plaids. Not everyone follows a stereotype. I knew a few people who owned Ferrari and Lamborghini vehicles.
The point was more than that Lucid who needs every sale is going to have fewer sales.
@@kevtheobald "Not everyone follows a stereotype. " Then you know other people than me.
Lucid is not really sold in Europe. I know they advertised it very publicly but they sold only 2 vehicles in 2023. Even less than hydrogen cars.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 Very high odds we both know people the other does not. I know a guy who owned a Lotus Esprit, Vector W8, Ferrari Testarossa, Countach, among other toys. Some people just like a wide range of cars and brand loyalty means nothing.
Front camera????? I guess my RAM 3500 with a 2 inch lift kit needs a front camera! NOT !!!!! 🇨🇦
This anti-ev crap is getting so old
Right Dilan now can forecast Cybertruck drmand in 2 years… i guess good news is such scarcity that u have to go to crystal ball
Perhaps GigaBerlin needs a set of Megapacks to act as a backup in the event of further terrorist action? Maybe build a solar farm nearby to feed it?
Dillon, the problem with ads is that, like you said, may not be enough. that’s because Tesla left it too late. The FUD has already spread when they should have front run the issue. Ironic that they envisaged the need for an amazing super charger network but didn’t see the FUD from ICE industry coming through.
It's never too late. Facts are facts. If people can have a better driving experience for way less operating cost, they'll take it. We just need a little education to undo some of the FUD and deal with people's range paranoia.
It would have made no difference.
The FUD is only a preconceived notion for the close-minded. Those who are capable of due diligence (quite a lot in 2024) and basic science reasoning will figure it out
@@incognitotorpedo42it isn't "range paranoia", it is about the length of time it takes to charge an EV and having to set your plans around the location of chargers. I'd be thrilled to only get 150 miles of range if there were an equal number of charging locations as gas stations, and it only took me the 2 minutes and thirty seconds it takes me to fully "recharge" my ice vehicle. As it stands now, if my home was in the centre of a 50km x 50km square box on a map, there are exactly 3 tesla superchargers in an area equal to 2,500 square kilometres. By contrast, there are 47 gas stations. Yes, i have counted them.
@@stupidas9466 You present legitimate concerns. But EV stuff is changing quickly - charge rates are increasing, more superchargers are coming soon, etc, etc. If you can wait a few more years your EV concerns may go away. In any case, you are at present under no obligation to buy an EV.
Could it be that the ICE car owners are worried about charging on long trips and Tesla owners are not, because the people who don’t take long trips are the ones who bought Teslas? I know that I am one of those who make about two trips to Colorado a year from Texas. It already takes up a day each way and I am NOT going to spend 8 hours more each way to wasting my time at charging stations. Now, once FSD comes along and I will be able to go to sleep in my Cybertruck while it drives me there, it will be a very attractive proposition. I don’t really care what type of engine the car has but I like Teslas in general.
I wonder if Tesla could argue that all cars should have driver monitoring systems, otherwise how can they deem Tesla's inadequate, if they aren't a requirement? Driver attention is a problem no matter what type of driver assist is being used. Driver monitoring is just another driver aid/safety feature, it's not a substitute for responsibility.
Come on Dillon. the reseller was able to sell his cyber truck because he followed proper procedure. Tesla was given the chance to buy the truck first before he sold it very important detail.
I see that Toyota has resorted to Top Gear math...
Just a personal note. I spoke to an "ICE " vehicle mobile mechanic.He literally spouted the FUD about EVs. "Teslas catch fire - and the fire services hate them, because they are difficult to put out. With EVs in general, they never reach the specified range, the batteries need to be replaced, and charging them is a nightmare, they break down all the time..." Do you think he doesn't understand the latest info - or maybe he wants to carry on fixing ICE vehicles ? And he has already done a couple of courses on EV repairs....I didn't really engage, because he was already convinced that EVs are not ready to go mainstream...This is someone who is preparing to fix EVs, and yet he has a very negative view - maybe some EV education needs to be advertised?
Its not the distance of a battery thats needed Toyota seems not understand it superfast charging like how fast you can fill the tank on a ICE car.
Normal workplace: drains your soul harder than a Dementor.
Tesla: 4:20
Dillon, the comparison with VW limps as VW isn't taking the water from a water reservoir area. So it's not about how much water Tesla Berlin consumes but rather where it's taken from and what happens with the waste water (as per your previous video. But I'm sure the authorities will sort this out as we're having the Green party in our current Government. I personally would rather be concerned about the oil refinery in nearby Schwedt and would love to see it shut down. It harms the environment much more than Tesla Berlin.
Fully agree with your view that FSD is first "perfected" to a state in NA that the "Beta" label can be removed before it's been rolled out in Europe or China or anywhere else in the world.
On Cybertruck real people reactions: bring it to Germany and you will see huge protests against it. Same for other European countries, it's a NA culture thing.
Some people just won't change away from gas/ice. No matter how much you share and provide, let them drive, let them ride in it. I have ran into quite a few that are still reluctant regardless of facts of everything being presented.
After WW2, many Americans vowed they’d never buy a Japanese product, a decade later they were happily buying Japanese cameras, stereos, radios, cars etc.
12:50 No. He IR shouldn’t be finding out about these surveys through Google. They should be actively doing their own market research to understand the market.
Tesla will sell 1M Cybertrucks annually because unlike gas guzzling pickups, Cybertrucks can be sold outside the US.
Can we all call Tesla
"Made in America Tesla"
ICE drivers, at least in my experience, are not moved by "data". Part of this, I believe, is due to their inability to grasp the notion that the grid can and will handle the load. ICE vehicles had no "grid" of filling stations or even roads in the early ICE history. They, the ICE crowd, has no concept of how much energy is available in, eg, sunlight. They seem unable to grasp the decided advantage in efficiency of electric motors vs ICE engines.
15:00 CTruck resale...can Tesla REALLY take punitive action against someone who merely looked into selling their CT? The purchase agreements i saw prohibited SELLING the CT within a year...not listing it for sale. Has that changed? 🤷♂️
Tesla can arbitrarily refuse to sell to anyone. 'No soup for you'
@@MrCPPG…bartender points to C3PO “We Don’t Serve Their Kind Around Here”…
Tesla “Arbitrarily Refusing to Sell to Anyone” would smack of bias or discrimination to that particular person.
Methinks the ‘lawyerly profession’ would have a field-day!
They can sue if he sold it. They can refuse to sell future vehicles to him just because.
@@ernestgalvan9037 Not if the person being discriminated against was a white male.
@MrCPPG No lawyer here, but I wonder if that's true given that a contract was presented and signed that described terms and consequences. Tesla unilaterally activating the very consequences in the contract without having the terms violated seems like dirty pool.
I wonder how much Tesla loses per CT and how much it will lose/make after they ramp up and also how much time it will take to ramp up.
I wonder IF they lose money now.
Judging by their margins elsewhere, they WON'T lose money after ramping.
.
Why do you assume otherwise?
They surely lose a ton of money now. All that equipment and ppl to produce
There are allegedly 2,000,000 $100 fully refundable reservations. 6 months from now, it will be interesting to see how many of those reservation holders walk away. Then again, $100 is a dinner with a couple of drinks. Musk at one point stated that it will take AT LEAST 18 months to get to a break-even point. Elon seems to like to overstate things, so I'm thinking 18 months is more than a bit optimistic.
the truck is about testing technology if its not a total loss its safing them money for other cars to build
I'm sure some flippers are thinking "if I sell for $250k and I pay Tesla $50k, I'm still making $100k profit." But the wording says otherwise: "$50000, or the value received as consideration for the sale or transfer, whichever is greater." Doesn't the latter half actually mean the sale price? So in the above example, they would be in the red by $100k!
20:19 dude never drove a truck before?
tesla talks about moving fast however they have had the same 4 factories for years now, years keep going by and elon refuses to speed up the building of any giga factory, I get the demad might be slow right now but build more and export if you need to
A bipolar battery?? That's great news! 😃 No wait, it's a disaster. ☹️
😅
Real on Toyota batteries is when you can pull one out of a car that has been bought otherwise they are lying
Hey Dillon, a common mistake that a lot of youtubers make is that, generally when referring to people, it's "who" not "that".
e.g. "The people who work at Tesla." NOT "The people that work at Tesla."
Who cares
I think that Tesla will release FSD in China. I believe they will get regulatory approval for robotaxis there, before they get the approval in the US.
Sure if you want to teach it how to compete in a demolition derby... China has some crazy drivers and terrible road law enforcement. Teaching it to drive in China is just teaching it bad habits.
If people love the Cybertruck now, you know Tesla will make it better and better as time marches on. Imagine the same level of improvement the Model 3 got, but for the 2028 Cybetruck. I am sure Tesla is always improving it, but I suspect upgrades are already being kicked around.
If they cannot get the stainless steel body costs down, it might be worth them coming up with another body, but same platform, so they can undercut ICE work trucks like Ford 150 basic trim to start grabbing fleet sales.
If Four (4) Canadian V12 FSD Teslas meet at a four-way stop simultaneously what will happen? Eeeeeh?
As Tesla's margins compress, will they continue to invest in pushing battery tech forward and in the charging network? My guess is we will see battery progress continue to stagnate, especially if the government continues to suppress competition from ICE makers. Im figuring my CT reservation means my number will come up in a year. If range is still 400 miles, I will have a hard decision to make. At this point, I'm leaning toward no as 400 miles in north Rocky's winter is more like 250 miles and where it's 100 miles between towns and no chargers...it's not really a general purpose transportation device and is just a urban commute toy vehicle.
Toyota has no plan for BEV’s other than to tell everyone that they have a magical battery coming in 5 years. Their hope is people will buy another ICE or crappy hybrid while waiting for something that won’t ever come.
Nurburgring records are useless. The speed average is 23km/h in town and 80km/h on the motorway. Tesla should have a car like the Renault 5ev.

Tesla will produce a cheaper and more compact car. But that doesn't mean that their higher end card doesn't fill a purpose.
13:00 I'm guessing the reason Tesla does not advertise is to keep the cost of their cars lower. Look at it this way: If more people knew how good a Tesla EV is, they would order one. But Tesla is already selling every car they make, so the net result of advertising would be to increase demand and (if history is any guide) to lengthen the wait time and to raise the car's price. Bottom line is that Tesla is deliberately not advertising, and using that as a demand lever.
How about EV makers give us better range rather than Me changing my mind?
Who chose to sell their Cybertruck that they bought directly from Tesla for a profit?
Auctioned vehicles certainly could be repossessed vehicles from someone who defaulted on their car loan.
As to your Toyota comments. What are Teslas plans for 2026 ? The 4680 has not delivered anything like what Tesla promised 2 years ago. Does Tesla continue to invest in battery ? CT was supposed to arrive with a range of 500 miles, instead we get 400 miles. 2026 is Toyotas next normal line refresh date. I'm willing to wait to see what they offer.
Delay with electrical supply from Texas Authority is likely prime reason for delay to lithium plant. I note second line construction has commenced
