The name of this thread makes Elon's response to Alameda county's health response relevant. Tesla can ill afford to 1. Move out of Fremont: 2. Re-open Fremont without an approved plan, if we want to get our CTs in a reasonable time.
Elon has a typical absentee factory owner, thumb your nose at the world attitude. He's safe in his fortress of properties in Palo Alto. Alameda county where his factory resides has a continuing, new covid case rate in the 40s per day. The surrounding counties are doing a little better. The...
Although FSD robotaxi is attractive in concept, Tesla's intention is to retain ownership, and commercial liability, for those vehicles. Tesla sees a windfall, over selling the vehicle, as a glorified tech car rental company. Dont even consider FSD, except for personal use in a vehicle you...
To help revitalize the heartland there's a big hole in there area of southern Ohio, and western Pennsylvania and West Virginia, where Tesla could draw manufacturing talent INTO an otherwise less populated, but beautiful people and countryside. More Ts !
I'm impressed with Sandy's videos tearing down the model Y. Especially, the LR battery pack is smaller than one would have imagined! It's housed robustly, and looks safe! Never mind all that power! And the frame chassis castings are amazing. There's something about synergy between Tesla...
GIGA-INDIANAPOLIS? How about planting the flag on America's motor speedway capital city! Counter program an electric car 500 mile race each year! Good road, rail connections to the east coast, also north and south! How about 0 to 60 staggered starts in 1.8 secs! Haha.
I think Elon also suggested they'd lease or retain ribotaxis under Tesla ownership, not sell them to customers. So get your own while you can before robo-Tesla gobbles up the stock. Lol.
I read an interesting article about a model 3 road trip from SF to Texas and back. The driver log stated that over 90% of the trip was completed on autopilot! The driver found it a profound relief! FSD, for most driving, in 3 years would be amazing! But after delivery I'll test it out for a...
My impression is that FSD robotaxis are coming of age about when my CT gets built. Adventure rentals are a great side gig in low density environments. I expect FSD will do 80 to 90 percent of the driving while there last mile (camping, sight seeing, attraction choices) are completed by the...
Is wrapping stupid or genius? What is it? How does it hold up? Can wraps be removed if it sucks or fails? I like the notion for a artistic design or business logo. Remember the Delorean. Its beauty defied wrapping. Can the 30x ss be delivered buffed, vs flat matte?
I'm glad. Explain your original post to the Administrator. In another post I suggested that maybe Y and 3 be shifted to Giga Tenn, and to start CT soon at giga fremont which is is where he lives. Rapid prototyping a la Space X...
