So do explain why it would be a halo car like the Hummer that pushed people to switch to electric and not mainstream crossover like the Model Y?

So do you want to bet by how much times will Model Y outsell this hummer? 10X?

Why? You think GM will get bailed out again in the next 10 years?

hhhh the contracts with Ford alone will keep Rivian alive one way or another.

Counterpoint - we’re still very much in “Stage 3". GM just throws out a couple big numbers to get the blogs all hard, and we get articles like this. People still care very much for EV-centric stats like range and battery size.

1) Battery refurbishing or reprocessing

2) Barring that, it’s better that the waste go into a landfill, which is sequestered from our environment, than our atmosphere.

I mean, you could search and find out pretty good studies that take this into account for a total life cycle analysis. In the end, it ends up being a case of if you value total green house emissions vs land fill & recyclability vs total energy consumption. Electric cars come out ahead for emissions (even if your power…

This is simply a response to the Cybertruck for crown of Ultimate Brotruck Penis Enhancer. Where’s a $25k practical electric truck?

Don’t you know? For someone who obsesses over Tesla as much as you do, it's kind of surprising you don't. Kind of.

They moved units into previously-unserved markets, sure, but the organic growth in established markets was non-existent. The US market in 2018 was almost 380,000 units of BEVs... In 2019 it declined to 340,000 units.

“Car and Driver got slower times from the P100D”

What do you mean? Tesla finished Q4 18 with 555,000 cumulative produced cars, they finished Q4 19 with 921,000. They’ve put over 65% more cars on the road in one year’s time. Their production and sales are both way up, both figures over 100k for Q4 19, the highest those figures have ever been. Sales figures were up…

The Porsche and the Tesla are not for the same buyer though. I’d say that barring a few exceptions, folks with a Tesla are not eyeing the porsche. If Porsche had a car that did like, 300 miles of range for a price under 100k, even if it were a tad slower to 60, then we’d be eyeing it. I quite like the Porsche…

TSLAQ is busy ordering this to help with what they are going through:

192 miles, actually 😉

Those are the things they say on days like this...

TSLAQ is that you? Lol.

It’s a no-cost option on both the 3 and Y now. If you select the "performance" package, there's no change in cost.

I hope people will return their 3s to get the Y and maybe I can get a used 3 

Tesla is going to print money with these things. I already see model 3s everywhere and that’s supposedly a type of car people aren’t buying anymore (sedans).
