How has it been out for 3 months, and this is the first we are hearing about it?
YouTube must be shadowbanning it, they are not fans. Amazing job, love the cat girls :-)
Luckily we have an "Elon" friendly U.S. President for another 2 years.
Tesla and SpaceX, if merged still have seperate workforces, and seperate buildings/locations.
they will colaborate more closely, but they will likely keep most employee's in their current positions, I doubt a non-US Tesla...
Tesla is the only company that is public, SpaceX and Xai are private, so the easy part is done, with those 2 being private companies, with Elon owning the bulk of the shares, the private investors probably didn't need much convincing.
As far as Tesla buying that entity, that's going to be more...
Tesla is designing the AI5/AI6 silicon, of course they are going to somehow end up with SpaceX/Xai, Elon tweeted a few days ago "All my X's, live in Texas". He fully intends to combine all the Muskian companies
There are other markets, the world is a large place.
They also have other Elon companies that need autonoumous vehicles, that are not in the Robotaxi fleet, one being the Boring company, and their tunnel systems, which will expand beyond Las Vegas and Tenesee. There is also autonmous freight...
There is ONE more vehicle, they are very likely going to manufacture, it was shown on "Autonomy" day, on the Los Angeles movie lot... The 10-12 passenger van.. They have 2 uses for them:
1) The boring company needs a larger vehicle for the Las Vegas tunnels, when their is a trade show...
20M cars to whom? If they build 10M RoboTaxis, they are the customer themselves, and then add in the ones that Uber, Lift, Waymo and other ridesharing services may end up with. Plus they are still selling the Model 3 and Model Y, and they continue improving them. They basiclly told the...
Tesla's willingness to mothball the Model S & Model X shows, they are thinking correctly, and not keeping a production line going for a low-volume vehicle, even if it was their first production vehicle (Model S, it was my first Tesla a 2013 Model S, came with ALL of the "Early Adopter" issues)...
The future of "FSD" is "Autonomous FSD", what Elon actually promised in 2016, this gives drivers back their TIME, TIME is difficult to put a price on, because, it is PRICELESS and you can't make more of it, it is a limited resource.
Autonmous FSD will be going UP in price on the subscription...
Yes, I have been eying a low cost plow, to clear my driveway.. This one seems promising, and uses a 2" receiver, so an adapter to a single centered receiver is all that would be needed.. I am not trying to plow commercially, just my 130' driveway. It will already work on the rear hitch, but I...
I owned a VERY early VIN Model S (under 4,000) that was built in December of 2012, took delivery on January 17th, 2013. I had every early adopter issue, known, and then some. I understand how you feel.
I lost count of my service center visits, but it was north of 50, from every door handle...
New Flash: Tesla has a LONG history of charging $$$$ to repair/replace a faulty design/part
Example: I owned a 2013 Model S, VIN under 4,000 (yes, one of the first Model S's ever manufactured), it's what I traded in for the 2025 Dual Motor Cybertruck.
in my 12 years of ownership, I have lost...
Here is another choice in rear plows (or a front plow, if a reasonably priced front mount 2" receiver comes out, not interested in spending $3500). This one is $900, new.. and it folds in 1/2 for storage, its 78" wide.. you could spend twice as much and get one that is 84" wide :-)...
Yes, probably: "we are shutting down the Cybertruck production line, to make room for Cybercab production and refocus our energy". They could discontinue the Cybertruck, and admit it was a dismal failure, and they are moving on. Other companies have done similar, why not Tesla.
