Because why? The experience gained in building vehicles doesnt relate? What's your point? My point is that experience manufacturing IS experience. VS the " other guys" with literally no at scale manufacturing experience??

Tesla doesnt have a finished factory yet? What are Fremont and Shanghai? I dont understand how you can think real world experience is not a better indicator of capability than a theoretical plan??

Well Tesla had successfully made both the Model S and Model X and ramped them before the Model 3 and the Model 3 ramp was a nightmare for them WITH experience. Prototypes dont mean anything as it relates to production. They are not ahead because that's how you want to perceive it. LOL

Where have you been reading? " Rivian purchased a former Mitsubishi factory in Normal, Illinois, and it’s in the process of retooling it to build the R1T and a technically similar SUV named R1S. Deliveries are tentatively scheduled to begin in November 2020. We say tentatively, because Rivian...

Im sure they'll work it out. I can't believe that no one on the CT project at Tesla has ever seriously towed anything ;)

If it makes it to production with 35s (and I think it will) and still is capable of 0-60 in 2.9 and 500+ miles of range, then I'll stick with 35s

?

Since CT is supposed to effectively be uni-body it's structure will either already include the area the batteries are located (battery compartment) or will not need the "battery box" to be structural. Therefore in either case the batteries would be replaceable as an entire "pack" as in the...

Here's a perfect example of what should not be WIKI stickered

Can a MOD or ADMIN fix the WIKI sticker on the threads? For some reason this is selectable by users and so far EVERY one I've seen is wrong. WIKI threads = "HOW TO" people, stop using this as a thread "marker" for attention. We used to be able to turn that off and I had on a couple threads...

"Anything Tesla Can Do, We Can Do" ? What if Tesla wanted to sell networking equipment in the US? ?

You left out the 78-89 humidity kinda sucks range ;) above or below there it's not really noticeable.

Isnt the key bluetooth?... so direct phone to car interaction there, no Tesla network needed.

Sure it is. It clearly breaks this up. There is 16% increase is the increase due to simply having more material available. Then because the 4680 has a new Anode material it has an additional 20% increase. Then again because because it has a new Cathode it gets an additional 4% increase. Thats...

Looks like a render of a slightly tweaked Silverado

I dont see any delay. I think you might be mistaking what they said about the new batteries being "fully ramped" vs any being available at all. Fully ramped = they will be able to produce batteries as fast as the battery line is designed to. They will still be able to produce batteries before...

Well shit. I totally read over that part. My bad. Enjoy your thread /unsub'd

So your plan is to use Semi as an RV? :o

Tesla already accounts for a certain percentage of dead cells over a pack's lifetime, so it's already "baked in" ;)

Exactly my point a Class A RV weights 30,000 now with a ~1500lb engine trans. combo. If you delete that you still would have to account for an additional ~12,300 lbs of battery for the OPs 1MWH battery request, lol
