If it costs that much, whats the point? You are better off just buying one of the upcomming electric trucks going half the price and modifying that.

They don’t advertise what hardware is in it.

Dear Drump,

I took out my Drump translator, and after hours of decryption, I figured out what he meant.

Tesla will most likely decrease the amount of labor and increase automation. When designing the Model Y, they took consideration of things that caused problems in automating the Model 3 and rectified a lot of it.

For the 1st gigafactory, Texas gave more incentives than Nevada. The difference was, Nevada agreed to allow direct sales, Texas did not. But at the time, Tesla was not as big as they are now. Texas is probably candidate #1, but I doubt Musk will budge if they don’t allow direct sales. Just like he didn’t last time.

According to your study if you ever actually bothered reading it, the 75 kwh battery of a Tesla Model Y would be 2.25 - 3.75 tonnes of CO2e. If they were to scale it up to 100kwh, it would be 3 - 5 tonnes of CO2e.

The parts installed weren’t wrong, it was intentional. They were correct. If there was anything wrong, it would be the invoice. But that isn’t a quality issue.

If you didn’t have the FSD option, Tesla installs the HW 3.0 at their own expense in hopes you will buy FSD option in the future. If you do, they’ll install HW 3.0.

BS on all counts. Just look at CASIO, imports and coal do not even account to half of CA’s grid at night.

Is that millionth Model T or Millionth Ford car? Cause there was the Ford Model A in 1903 and a few other cars in between like Ford Model S and etc.

Shh, you are feeding a troll. His CO2 numbers are also inflated through the roof.

Tesla doesn’t mention what version of hardware you get when buying, so that most likely means on the invoice probably?

Not sure what you are talking about, but Tesla delivered the cars as specified. HW 2.5 is able to do all the functions HW 3.0 can for autopilot. HW 3.0 is only needed for FSD and those who didn’t order FSD aren’t entitled to it.

GM tried to do that, they brought their best team of experts but none of them could figure out how to turn on a computer.

That is why Tesla does not produce their core stuff in China, only the common stuff enough to get the made in china certification.

It’s not even a QC issue. Not sure why they are calling it a quality issue.

Wait, use of older hardware due to lack of supply due to Corona(partly china’s fault) is a quality issue? Seriously?

To be fair, those areas are partly expensive because of them. If they move, the other places will also become expensive.

Don’t let grandpa scare you. Unlike Russia whose most of their economy relies on oil and gas (it is the real reason why soviet union collapsed). Oil and gas only makes a fraction of the US economy. So the impact it would have is minimal.
