You’re all just jealous because your car’s windshield would’ve broken 3 seconds earlier. The cybertruck is the most “cyber” and most “truck” vehicle in existence.

The analyst that understands that not every trend goes straight up and to the right in perpetuity? EV sales percentages will most likely plateau in the medium term, and that’s what they’re predicting. They’re also accounting for the fact that most automakers aren’t making money on the EVs they sell today, which is not…

The influencers are their advertising. This is more like Keurig sending better, hand-built and optimized machines to the cult of Keurig and sending mass-produced, less effective machines to the masses. I’d argue it’s tantamount to false advertising.

This sounds a lot like the Biden presidency too. His inner circle continually tells him he’s mentally fit to go four more years.

While I understand what was written is probably accurate up to 28Jun of this year, you really should re-do your “loss this much money” calcs using the current Tesla stock price, which as absolutely ballooned in the past 5 days. I bet Musk has moved the red number to a black one just in the past few trading sessions.

It’s not an electric Wagoneer without aerodynamically-active wood grain panels.

The polestar 2 with the performance pack is $56,900 on Polestar’s website right now. The lowest price I’m seeing to lease a Model 3 performance is $599/month and the Polestar 2 with performance pack leases for $499 with identical down payments ($3,000) and lease terms (36 months, 10,000 miles annually)

Except Tesla basically lies about their range. These cars have basically the same amount of real world range. And you can get the credit on the polestar by just leasing.

Seriously. The number of wildly positive reviews that say something like “I only had to intervene twice when the car tried to make an illegal left and after it killed a pedestrian” is astounding.

It’s been years.

“Fake Self Driving” or more accurately “Fatal Self Driving”. The bigger question is why anyone would buy a Tesla?

Or really bad FSD, and that would make it much easier to fulfill the “last car you drive on Earth” prophecy.

Count me as part of that 98%. The only worthwhile feature is automatic lane changes which work very well. I’m constantly annoyed they’re holding that feature hostage behind an $5,000-$15,000 paywall. So many other automakers include it in their basic driving assist packages now.

I think once you take into account that Elon thinks they are launching full robo-taxis’s in 3-4 months that 98% number is a bit shocking. That means that only 2% thought it was worth $8k or even did an OK enough job to pay for it. If the system was really good, you would think the number would be much higher. 

The simply reality is that FSD is a crappy driver, even in the latest code. And I’m talking on a two lane highway - I don’t trust it enough to leave it fully engaged on city streets. I took the same route on back to back days - the first day overcast, the second day sunny. The quality of the drive dropped immensely in…

A vast majority (say, 98%) of consumers will never pay $8,000 for software, or any intangible for that matter. You have to have a physical *something* to be able to command that kind of price in the mass market. Elmo doesn’t grok that simple fact because he’s a rich, out-of-touch lunatic.

but but but, Elon said that FSD Autopilot Level 5 will be released soon 

Same. My wife drives a Model Y and we used it on a trip from Birmingham to Atlanta recently and I had to intervene multiple times (on the interstate). One instance was when the interstate went from 3 lanes to 2 lanes. The car wanted to pass the car in front of us but it wouldn’t have completed the pass by the time the…

I got it free for a month and stopped using it after a couple days when it would refuse to take an exit that was on the route.  It’s a cool party trick sometimes but the stress of making sure it was doing the right thing was way more than just driving.  It also liked to change lanes a lot even though changing lanes…

Weird, expensive things that don’t provide much, if any, value to the consumer usually sell so well. Just look at Juicero’s share price.
