  1. 📡 [Updated w/ livestream event] Tesla announces Global Engineering HQ in Palo Alto California

    Looks like the moat is beginning to crumble, albeit slowly, specifically in the land of cheap-knock off China. The race (pun unintended) and the next winner will be from those who can come up with longer range and can hurdle the challenges of huge drop in range when towing and winter driving...

    Tesla to base engineering headquarters in California Confirmed with Cybertruck beta sightings are in California while mass production is still set in Texas. Semis are now also slated to be produced in Giga Nevada.
  3. Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?

    Pre Musk's Twitter distraction, what the investors were most excited about was his statement that he can supply all the electricity needs of the whole country if he is provided with 100x100 miles of land to put up solar panels. And coincidentally this is administration's energy program and the...
  4. Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?

    I think I owe this thread the background information about the title and subject of this thread. And maybe save your breath in putting out off-target arguments on matters that's not been disputed. Also, hair splitting on who owns the battery technology, who program robots, who own the...
  5. Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?

    And??? How is that helping your argument? Check back when Tesla start monetizing their programming knowledge in robotics by selling it to other car manufacturing companies then we'll give them credit that they are moving from "just another car company." Toyota builts industrial robots but for...
  6. Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?

    And??? How would that move the needle to your argument that Tesla is not just another car company when every other car company customize those robots for their own assembly line configuration?
  7. Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?

    No, the robotics that assemble Tesla's cars are not in-house. It's made in South Korea.
  8. Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?

    Again for the nth time and the premise of the headline statement of the thread. It's not the profitability nor the quantity, it's Tesla still being unable to leverage it's software capabilities into revenue stream. You can promise for them all you want until you are blue in the face that they...
  9. Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?

    Let me repeat, no one is arguing about Tesla's profitability nor it's production and innovative manufacturing capabilities. The premise of the title of the thread is that Tesla was unable to leverage it's technology, in-house developed softwares and data base into revenue streams to make them...
  10. Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?

    Sorry for the late reply, I was snowbirding in the Caribbean. You indeed to pity me from your perch of deep freeze in Canada. And yes, I don't know what I'm regurgitating so don't have to lap it up with gusto like a mad dog. What do I know indeed? Is it my several decades career in global or...
  11. Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?

    Tesla's does not own the company that supplies the battery to its cars. That's an opportunity present to them when they acquired. And it will be in the development of new tech for batteries with new materials, example, anode. And further opportunities for solar panels and megapacks for...
  12. Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?

    You could at least have the decency to quote the whole sentence if you want to prove me wrong. This is the entire sentence: The fact is that Tesla is unable to monetize it's global driving data base. And yes, in Tesla's vault are the driving experiences of Tesla users in the US, China, Europe...
  13. Article: It's becoming increasingly clear Tesla is just another car company -- agree / disagree?

    The paranoid and the fan boys have awaken, blaming the MSM and everyone else but Musk when the market is now seeing Tesla unable to flex it's muscle in tech, battery and it's massive data base. The fact is that Tesla is unable to monetize it's global driving data base. That Tesla was unable...
  14. CyberTruck Price and delivery Estimate Latest

    The drop in prices was due to Tesla build up of inventories for those models as a result of weaker demand. CT has strong demand with long waiting list. Our hope is that Tesla and Elon don't get greedy and stick to quoted prices when we made those reservations -- and wish each other good luck.
  15. Can't Tesla fund their own loans? (high interest, demand impact, etc)

    Tesla is only acting as an agent in insuring it's cars. The real insurers is Redpoint County Mutual Insurance Company and Midvale Indemnity Company. They just get the commission and all risk and work are done by the underwriter.
  16. Aptera shows how mega-body-piece construction works in their pre-production...

    That's an airplane. We are talking flying cars. You know, this is where when we are caught in traffic in 101 Bay Area/SF, you can extend wings with drone propellers for a VTOL, fly a few miles, land in your office's garage and retract your wings to park. Or maybe, fly from you own driveway...

    Yeah right, 90 seconds in test flights! Of course, I forgot, honest to goodness real, viable and practical flying cars.

  20. Can't Tesla fund their own loans? (high interest, demand impact, etc)

    Tesla need to create another bureaucracy within it's organization to be able to do financing for costumer purchases. It is better to stick to knitting and what it knows best - EV tech and building cars. Also, to transfer the risk while they sit cozy having been paid for the unit that the...
