Oh look, more “experts” being entirely wrong. As usual.

Model 3, easy.

Chanos “Is an idiot, and a douchebag.” Detroit will be bankrupt and sold off for pennies long before Tesla shuts their doors. And Elon Musk is going nowhere, this is his brick to stop climate change and he will bash as much as he can with it.

Yeah, who wants a safer faster accelerating car you can camp in comfortably overnight that let’s you cheaply charge overnight and has far less required maintenance and things that can break which holds it’s value better for resale? Practically no one, right?

This is a huge pile of dumb. Once Model 3 is in full production, people will want it because it is the best car available at it’s price. No tax credit will be required.

This thread is hilarious, so many kinds of wrong.

Yep, the percentage chance of Uber being worth nothing is 100%. Autonomous EVs will dominate their industry, and those vehicles will be in the Tesla Network. No one else will have anywhere near enough batteries soon enough, Tesla will take the market and once dominant it will be exceedingly difficult for others to…

Uber has no value, I would not trade an old sock for the company. Cost per mile is critical in mobility, and autonomous EVs win cost per mile easily. Only Tesla will have the batteries to dominate autonomous EVs, all the other car companies combined will have fewer batteries than Tesla and therefore be unable to…

Hahaha, yeah, all of those other car companies will magically be able to manufacture EVs with economies of scale without having batteries to put in them. If they all want to replace 25% of their ICE sales with EV sales, someone will need to put $200 billion into battery production. Which is a huge problem, because by…

They are ramping slowly so they have it right when they get to full speed production. At the volumes they are planning for, the difference between the amount they hoped to produce and what they did produce in September is about a single day worth of production next September, so very few reservation holders will…

I agree, the range on the Bolt is not super useful anyway. Taking it for a road trip would be torture, and no one wants to be doing 238 miles of in town driving per day very often if ever. The 150 mile Leaf range is plenty for a “City car” which GM states the Bolt is. If you can buy for $8,000 less, get a bigger car…

Not super competitive with the Model 3 but I can see a lot of people picking it over the Bolt. Neither one will be used for road trips, although the Bolt could be in an emergency far better than the Leaf. Anyone desiring a real car capable of the full car range of uses will buy a Model 3. If you want a car for…

The Model 3 is designed for a future when you will not be actively driving the car, you will not want to know your speed because the car will be taking you places while you relax and watch a show on that screen.

They are being very hush-hush here, we still do not know actual range, acceleration, charging time, lots of your basic details. Usually with Tesla secrets mean good positive surprises coming.

This question does not stop at cars, it goes for all other items too. For me it depends on circumstances and the amounts involved. I happily bought a pair of mint in the box vintage Converse at an estate sale for ten bucks and sold them for $320 on eBay, no qualms. I happily bought art at an estate sale for $100 that…

It is hilarious, everyone freaking out about Tesla demand when their production line for S and X is simply at capacity. When the M3 ramp is done, Fremont will be at capacity too. About 500,000 a year is what Toyota and GM produced from that factory too.

No one EVER claimed 500,000 Model 3s delivered in 2017. No. Tesla did say they could make 500,000 cars of all models in 2018. This will not happen, but now they say they can get Model 3 production to 10,000 a week at some point in 2018 giving them a production rate at that point of 500,000 a year, which I think is…

Sales especially plateau when a manufacturer reaches capacity of their production line and factory, as Tesla has. Fremont is a 500,000 car a year factory and always was. They are planning to make 400,000 Model 3s a year there and 100,000 S or X combined. That is all the factory can handle.

So on the week when Tesla states they for sure are delivering the Model 3 on schedule you are going to push this false narrative about failing to deliver again?

Really need to correct this:

“Ever since the once-bankrupt hybrid sports car maker Fisker announced its comeback last year, the company has promised a fully-autonomous, all-electric 400-mile range sedan.”

Nope, the once bankrupt Fisker company was purchased by Wanxiang Group and they have just re-released the companies…
