It's also entirely possible that OP's vehicle was not on FSD.

$60B market value for a money-losing proposition. SMH. And this is our "competition." Wall Street has zero idea of how much money FSD will print for Tesla...

How is this relevant? 10 months of storage?! In a very high temperature?! Even if we assume the above applies to Tesla batteries, the relative loss is so minor that it's not even worth worrying about. From 0.98 to 0.89 relative capacity loss? How much loss is that in real-world mileage? I...

I can verify this claim about BMS. I used to always charge at 90% and had a 600 km range in my Model S. Then the range suddenly started to drop to 590, then to 580. I switched my charging to 70% and miraculously it gave me back the 20 km range that it had lost. This is all verified by...

Precisely. Tesla barely scaped bankruptcy despite having Elon at the helm, being in a low-interest rate environment, and not having as much competition as Rivian is facing today. People keep hoping and praying that Rivian will stay afloat. Well, don't count on it based on all the evidence...

Two observations: 1) RJ isn't Elon. It's not even close, and that isn't throwing shade on RJ. 2) Elon built Tesla as a start-up and still runs it like a start-up. Every cost is reviewed and reduced in Tesla. The same can't be said for Rivian. Therefore, I am of the opinion that Rivian...

Yet those of us who arguably know more about Tesla has refrained to make any definitive comments. But in this thread alone, you have said: 1) Tesla will have 1M+ Cybertrucks in just two short years, and 2) No FSD on Cybertruck until 1M+ Cybertrucks are sold. So you were saying something?

Your post reminds me of this saying from the infamous Mark Twain: “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so."

Bingo. And the Cybertruck isn't even available for sale in Canda yet. For those that don't know, Canada buyers more Cybertruck per capita than in the States. I suspect that if you were to place a reservation today, you would be lucky to get one in 2026.

All future Teslas will have the front bumper camera. The refresh/Highland Model 3 was supposed to have it too, but for some reason, it got removed. I bet the next-gen platform has the front camera.

I am surprised that you didn't mention the following: - Steer-by-wire - Turning circle - Safety - Software - Charging speed on road trips These 5 points above alone are reason enough to pay a premium to get a Cybertruck over the Lightning. The Ford also drives like a truck, but the Cybertruck...

Cybertruck will get future updates to shorten the turning cycle. They are waiting on more data, I presume.

So Tesla isn't in the "Best Electric Cars" category. Nor is it in the "Best Electric Compact" category but both Ioniq5 and Mach-E are. It's then way down in the "Best Luxury" category but that makes no sense, as Model Y and the Model 3 are both cheaper than the competitors. If you can't see...

Yeah but what is their best EV ranking? Why isn't Tesla in the mainstream category?

This was back in 2019, before Elon started disrupting the media. Back then, legacy automaker also thought that Tesla would remain a niche player if they even survive. We are in 2024 and you won't see any fair outlook by the mainstream media on Tesla or Elon.
