This is BS.
I have almost 70k highway miles and a rock hasn't even touched my windshield. The design of the CT helps with that. There was a thread of people talking about this. It's not anecdotal, rocks just fly right over the windshield.
The follow distance is set by FSD. Speed, conditions...
If you only plan to own your vehicle for 4-5 years, buying may be silly. I think Tesla is likely to lower the cost to get adoption (they need 10 million subscribers by 2035 and are currently sitting at 1.1 million FSD subscriptions (330k month to month, 770,000 purchases).
Elon gave a vague answer on this. He said Consumers (us) currently have FSD and as it progresses they will remove attention monitoring in response to when UFSD is coming to everyone.
Basically, there's no time frame.
Since then many of speculated that completely unsupervised (no one in the...
It's a dumb tick tok thing that people started when Teslas were first getting popular. I believe the original said it was bad luck to charge without tapping 3 times.
It does nothing good.
I disagree.
52% of revenue was from US credits/rebates last year. They won't get them this year. Tesla will increase their $20b spending to ramp RT and Optimus. Spending 30-50b on a chip fab would hinder the rest of the plans without taking on massive debt.
I think it's more corporate...
It was actually voted down by Tesla bylaws. No vote= no, but it was an investor vote, not a board recommended vote, so it was ignored.
Also, almost 0 chance in terafab. It would be more of a failure than Dojo. Chip fabs are insanely expensive and fail often. Look at the Intel failure.
Most...
Same. 14.1.7 was still the best for speed profiles. They were a little better in 14.2.2.3, but back to bad in 14.2.2.4. My truck wanted to go 38 in a 45 on Mad Max...had to keep hitting the pedal.
You obviously don't pay attention to the earnings meetings or Elon. They may eventually sell Cybercabs, but it's not occurring soon.
Also, Tesla is only legally allowed to make 2,500 Cybercabs per year until the laws change.
The S&X had a higher gross margin per car than the 3/Y. Sales company wide have been down 3 years in a row and the S/X were the biggest losers. There was no cliff on the S/X from the tax credit as it didn't apply to almost all S/X sales (LR MX was eligible with no options).
Now if they were...
How would this have anything to do with the tax credit, which most of the S/X never qualified for?
The S/X were the highest margin vehicles in Tesla fleet. This is about almost non-existent sales and wanting to utilize the factory floor and workers efficiently.
Steady?
They sold between 2-3k(depending on how many were actually purchased by Elon for his other companies) in the US to consumers last quarter and it's expected to be worse this quarter. They've been in decline since 2024.
While they may now be king of the EV Truck market with Ford EOL...
10 years is crazy. If sales continue the way they are, there's 0 chance it's available for 10 years. Maybe 2 at most.
If you believe Elon, in 10 years they won't be selling any traditional consumer vehicles.
You could find a used MX for the price of a MY, but not new.
That's an odd ask "would need to be lower cost than a MY". That's like saying you would get a new BMW 5 series if it were cheaper than a Civic.
I disagree. Elon has not done a good job of pivoting with falling or no demand.
It's very clear that his entry into politics has hurt demand and that doesn't bother him.
It's very clear that the CT has almost no demand and he's still moving forward.
It's very clear that there is massive...
