Their last quarter was still their best quarter ever, despite things outside of their control occurring like the Inflation Reduction Act 2023 not going in effect until one day after the quarter closed, causing many buyers to wait until January to pull the trigger so they will get the tax discounts.

if you look at their electric offerings you will see a curve like that.  their legacy models dont matter. 

The worlds fastest man can’t improve his 100M time as much as the average Joe either. Of course more established manufacturers can’t grow similar amounts to Tesla.

Twenty if you account for the 7500 credit.

Last week, the midsize crossover cost $65,990; today it’s just $52,990.

May also be important to add that the price drop on the Model Y may be the steepest in order to allow it to qualify for the tax credit (the price needed to be less than 55k). They were likely cutting prices across all models for the demand concern and then probably dropped the Y an additional amount to get it across th…

The part that is missing is how much they increased their prices from ‘20 to early ‘22, now they are back tracking and essentially giving a finger to anyone that bought one of these newly discounted cars in the past 2 years or so. Incentives exist in the car world, but they are usually nowhere near this and ramp up…

This story is more than nothing but it is not the bombshell that many believe it to be. Tesla is reducing the price of its vehicles, a manufacturer incentive. Jalopnik commenters love to wax poetic about a lovely future devoid of dealers and price negotiations. That has always been Tesla’s model and I have always…

I’m as critical of Musk as the next (rational) person these days, but I’m gonna respectfully disagree with your service experience point. Let me know which luxury competitor will come to my house and patch a puncture in my tire, or mount and install a new tire, or rotate my tires. All in my driveway. Because Tesla’s…

Lexus has always sold a lot of cars. Just to your grandparents.

The surprising number in there for me is that Lexus outsold Audi by almost 100k vehicles. I guess people don’t mind the front end afterall.

My wife tries to get me to take Via rail into Toronto vs. a 2 hour drive, between the cost and unreliability of the service I prefer the car, at least I can control my route and if the horrible 401 is blocked there are alternatives, nothing worse than being trapped on public transportation for 2 days plus. A shame as…

Wait until they find out how their vehicles were loaded onto the auto transport cars. “All my oil leaked out, but I found my missing air pod, three french fries, and a corroded nickel on the floor board!”

Wow we have so many gullible people who automatically assume that what the driver said is automatically the truth.

According to the documents the Intercept received, the driver blamed FSD when the police showed up.

Alright, I was on the Tesla bashing train for a good while when this news broke, but now that I watch the video I see less “FSD is to blame!” than hundreds of people being used to following too closely while traveling too fast and being distracted.

You obviously have never been to a “rest stop” on the Autostrada in Italy. Excellent food, made-to order sandwiches and paninis, full-service deli and even a wine shop with decent bottles for just a few Euros.

Apparently I missed the “innovation” of putting your licence plate on a screeen. What’s so bad about a stamped and painted piece of metal? It’s simple and robust and cheap and doesn’t use any electricity.

I must have blanked out or Jalopnik never had an article about digital plates even being a thing in CA yet. Interesting, yet so many questions. Took a glance at reviver.com and that just led to more questions, mostly why would anyone want license plates that required a phone app or $99 installation. Also, I’m 100%…

Every time there is a new high tech system to replace an older, fully developed one, there is a huge cost over run, a lot of accidents and a general feeling that “good grief, we have spent a fortune to get something that isn’t that much better than what we already have and it doesn’t work right.”
