It’s true. Not great news. I’m sure they wouldn’t have been cut. I wonder why they weren’t rotated to SpaceX or X.ai, like they’ve been trying to do with the engineers when they get burnt out?

All manufacturers are looking for new revenue streams. Pretty soon we’ll be paying for internet three times over (home, smart phone, and vehicle)!!!

As much as I’m opposed to this nickel-and-dime mentality I get it from a business standpoint and if it can get me a cheaper Tesla I’m all for it. I’ve lived without heated seats and wipers for decades. You can’t miss what you’ve never had.

One of the many reasons that pedestrian fatalities have increased is that vehicles keep getting bigger and bigger, especially pickup trucks. If you’re hit by a sedan or a smaller car it’ll clip and probably break your legs. Your chance of survival is better than getting hit by a truck or SUV...

Better than a “Dutch oven”? ?? How did the Dutch get all of these phrases named after them?

“I like money.” - Frito Pendejo, Idiocracy

This is Yeah, Elon is hellbent on making FSD a reality. Even if that means removing everything from the car before they achieve it!

I think they’re talking about haptic buttons on the rear view mirror as well, in case the screen goes out and you can’t switch gears.

Won’t be available for order until October in China and Europe. The US will have to wait. No performance model listed yet, but they’re working on it.

Don’t forget Europe!

Companies sometimes change things before there are complete solutions to justify those changes, like FSD. I think they do this to force themselves to innovate more rapidly. Apple does this, too. It doesn’t always work out.

Absolutely. When people say, the best part is no part, that’s from the manufacturer’s perspective, not the customer’s. They save money and make more profit. Apple has done this as well, sometimes to the determinant of the product (single button on mouse, circular mouse design, top-loading CD...

Nope, it will cost the same or a little bit more. What you want is the Gen 3 vehicle, which isn’t even being built yet.

This is awesome! I really like the ambient interior lighting. This will be in the CT, too, along with the rear screen. This is a great evolution of the Model 3. I can’t wait to see what they do with a smaller, more affordable hatchback.

Ah, that’s true! Optimus has its work cut out for it. The UAW is going to be pissed!

Giga Mexico will definitely lead the way and supply North America and possibly South America (although they take imports from China). Then they will copy and paste this process to Shanghai (which was supposed to kickstart the $25K model) and other Giga factories in the future. A Giga India would...

Tesla will sell a $25K vehicle in the US at some point, even if it requires the $7,500 rebate at first. They’re not trying to be just a luxury brand. They want volume sales, hence slashing the prices of their current models (in-stock Model 3s are selling for around $37,000 before tax incentive).

I agree. Just pan around and show the rest of the parking lot. Was is full? ICEing only becomes shitty when there are no more charging stalls available, or someone is going out of their way to block an EV. Side note, these people must be really hard up for something to do. Is Buc ee’s really...
