250 miles of range for a 116kw battery is extremely poor efficiency. Even my 6,000 lbs Cadillac Lyriq with 102kw battery can achieve 320 miles of range. Why would anyone ever buy this car, it has almost no real world value, including offroading. I do have a friend that goes overlanding and 250 miles just doesn’t cut…

Seriously!

“The truck tried to murder me today after it broke down on my first drive. Totally my fault though, still love Tesla!”

“above and beyond” = Teslastan for doing the bare minimum, and only when insisting in public.

I mean, I’m no prophet. But when the stock value has “tanked” and it still is in the realm of Amazon’s P/E ratio. I don’t think the bad news for Tesla stock has ended.

That and considering the Plaid is in the same time range 1/4 mile and 0-60 but doesn’t cost 2 million dollars, what exactly are you paying for? The body is fantastic, but beyond that, there isn’t much difference to truly stand out. the rich will buy it because it’s new with an enormous price tag but they could…

And rich people have been buying fully mechanic, less precise watches rather than cheap electronic ones for fifty years now.

Somebody gets it! The wow of merely massive acceleration wears off quite quickly when all that accompanies it is the whine of a golf cart. As I have said on here many times, if you want your organs to be re-arranged by g-forces, a season pass to Six Flags is cheaper and more effective than a fast car.

The musical chairs will continue until the music stops. Better hope you aren’t holding a bunch of the stock when that happens.

A key to also remember is that people in the Rimac-echelon of wealth have a lot of other cars. Like, a lot. And if they don’t, they have a bunch they want to buy BEFORE an electric hypercar. Unless that is a perfect daily driver, I doubt many of them would forego their chauffers and executive saloons. 

2nd Gear: It makes sense if it’s true. Supercars have always been about the presence and the experience, the speed and performance run parallel, but how many times do we see Owners of supercars just driving them normally or even slower? Because even when driven normally it is still an exciting experience. People don’t…

I suspect the shoe will drop at their next quarterly earnings. There’s probably some investors holding thinking “hey maybe these cuts will work and they’ll maintain similar sales levels at a much lower cost base and income will rebound”

Oh absolutely.  “I’ll test it first with a stick.  Oh, it broke the stick.  Hm.  Well, let’s see if it does that to my bones!”

The auto sliding doors and the hatch back on my minivan all stop and reopen the moment they feel resistance. Sure it may mean a bigger bag may cause it to reopen but at least none of my kids have been crushed 

If any Tesla developer tries explaining Fitts’s Law to Elon, I assume he’ll

This, right here. Sometimes I swear my garage door reverses when it hits a bit of dust. And my Durango hatch will reverse if ANYTHING is in the way. This is not new technology. 

Car windows also stop with the least bit of resistance.

In what world is this the use case “As a user when the trunk sensor detects that the trunk has not closed it should lower the sensor threshold on each attempt until the trunk closes.” Who wants that, who needs that, if my bags are too high I’ll just close the thing myself(This assumes you even can, which I would not…

“The engineer told him the frunk increases in pressure every single time it closes and detects resistance, Judkins said. It’s going to assume you want to close the frunk and maybe something like a bag is getting in the way, which would make it close harder.”
