    Buggrit, Across the Board Tesla Price Increases

    I think most people buy a vehicle for the the freak 10% of needs. Like you say, I bet the Model 3 will work for 1-4 people 90% of the time. If you only need something at the lumber yard/nursery 2x per month the cost of delivery is probably cheaper and less hassle all things considered...

    Buggrit, Across the Board Tesla Price Increases

    That is a good theory. Fremont will still be perceived (and actually be) as the premium model shipper until Austin gets geared up to produce the long range and performance versions of the Y. By that time they will be able to afford to shut down Fremont for a month to make the change over...

    Buggrit, Across the Board Tesla Price Increases

    I think it will be easy once they post prices. A couple thousand less and earlier delivery for the comparable but different Fremont edition aught to do it. The hard part will be existing orders not specified. I suspect the Tesla sales team will just reach out to those folks and...

    Buggrit, Across the Board Tesla Price Increases

    Not really related, but I wonder if Tesla Fremont Y will be discounted a little from Austin Y on a cost per mile of range basis. By all measures the Fremont Y is still a darn good car, while the Austin Y may be ? 5% more efficient?

    Buggrit, Across the Board Tesla Price Increases

    Elon suspected the Y would replace the Toyota Camry as the number 1 car in the world. That is upper middle class. Middle class still have to think value. Take this Avalon at $40,000 add 3488 gallons of gas at $4.00 (150,000 miles/43 mpg) for $13,953 so you are at $53,953. While the Y...

    Blast from the past: Bob Lutz "Tesla is headed to the graveyard"

    Well I figured it was old from the headline. I think we need to remember from time to time the richest guy in the world could have gone bankrupt a couple years ago. He had a vision, guts and perseverance. He deserves it. Along with the rest of the Tesla founders. Thanks

    ELON HAS SECRET BABY

    Wow, the whole Chelsey Manning angle with Grimes....if true would make me little ???? if I where Elon. I try to be open with the LGBTQ stuff, but sometimes I think people go out of their way to prove how open they are. What are the odds that a person would actually engage with a political...

    ELON HAS SECRET BABY

    Great post. I am hoping we can divert Elon's attention to the asteroid belt and or a giant space station. Either way the technology developed will only help humanity survive if we can't figure out how to get along and keep our planet livable. Losing Elon would be a huge loss for...

    ELON HAS SECRET BABY

    Not to be selfish, but I don't want Elon to be distracted by drama. In a weird way the tweeting and crypto are probably entertaining to him, but it definitely can get out of hand. I see a little drama if one or the other tweets something sensitive. Otherwise good luck to them both, I...

    Optimus Bot Future

    I often think about how life and death would be programmed into a car. A lady and a stroller darts into the street at the last second. The car can either hit them or the geriatric guy on the sidewalk., or run into the concrete jersey barrier. Assuming no other physical choice. What to...

    Optimus Bot Future

    I don't view socialism a fear word. I think we need UBI for people who work and contribute but at low wage. UBI with robots doing the work is different. With misinformation and distraction and Citizens united and worse the tribalism, I fear "we the people" as government" is not happening...

    Optimus Bot Future

    Interesting video. I am a bit of a science fiction freak. I am confused about how replacing most human functions is good for society and how transforming the economy by eliminating labor is actually good for Tesla or the world, or humanity. Davids argument was that we should trust Tesla to...

    Optimus Bot Future

    I think Elon got really pissed when he had to hire people to assemble seats. He could not figure out how to make a simple machine do it. I remember this was part of the learning curve for the M3 ramp. It has been burning at him for 4 years. The first optimus bot will assemble seats.

    Mercedes Benz Vision EQXX EV

    300 miles for passenger vehicle is Elon's estimation for the point in which range anxiety for the average consumer is negligible. There will always be out lyers. More is usually better but not at the expense of cost and weight. Expense with a MB is not as much of a concern. I...

    Mercedes Benz Vision EQXX EV

    To me range matters a lot less on a road car than the CT. I am going to guess that the MB will cost $150,000 or more. I previously said I would be fine with 200 HP but for the price spread I would stick with a Tesla S LR. 400 mile plus exhilaration for $100,000 vs $150000? and a nice...

    Mercedes Benz Vision EQXX EV

    I respect the 200 hp end to the 0-60 wars. With instant torque it would be plenty quick. I wonder what a tesla s long range with 4680s, a structural pack 200 hp and the super advanced tires could do range wize. ?

    Not TSLA but important development: Hyundai shuts down ICE R&D engine division

    Every electric mile is better than an ICE mile. I am fine that they count it. Hopefully most of these people are actually plugging in and only needing the ICE motor on rare occasions. For automobiles plug in hybrid will soon prove to be a waste and will quickly go away. The cost to...

    The New Union-Focused EV Tax Credit Bonus & American-Made Tax Credit Cut Proposed In The House Is Stupid

    I would be interested to see how many M3/Y buyers are banking on getting the tax credit. I think that is driving demand and hence wait times/prices. I guess I am assuming the credit is retroactive to 2021. Maybe not if it passes in 2022?

    The New Union-Focused EV Tax Credit Bonus & American-Made Tax Credit Cut Proposed In The House Is Stupid

    In all this is there a limit for the number credits a person (Married filing jointly) can claim? I would like to get a Y for my wife's primary and then still be able to claim the credit for my CT in 2024. Also I slightly annoyed that Tesla keeps raising the price of the Y to compensate...
