By your logic, maybe we should add a middle man between you and the dealer. Normally, you might only have say 4 dealers in your local town. But if we add another middleman between you and the dealer, than that 4 can turn to 100! And 100 competing against each other is better than 4 right?

reportedly no “new” Model S and Model X replacements in development right now

Who doesn’t drive over 400 miles one way daily? You spend 7 hours commuting to work one way, and 7 hours back, no?

If your hellcat has a supercharger and your lease ends and Dodge pick up the car. Dodge can remove the hellcat’s supercharger and resell it just fine. There is nothing wrong with that, they own the car and they can modify it prior to resale as they wish.

Well to be fair, Tesla has never actually removed options for 3rd party sold cars. What actually happened was the dealer bought a used car from Tesla, then sold it to another person. Now while the original car had a software option, we aren’t exactly sure what the sale contract to the dealer said.

No it does not. We knew exactly how the virus spreads, we also know ways to mitigate the spread. Again, the whole plan was not to wait the virus out, it was to prevent our medical system from being overloaded. By drafting procedures that minimize the threat, reopening could have been done on schedule.

1) Tesla is both an automaker and an energy company

Plans for reopening should have been drafted even before the closing. Instead it seems most of the governments didn’t even come up with the concept of reopening until its been over a month of closings.

Shillings, the truth is it has all been just one giant conspiracy to make you QQ more. Everyone is in on it, even the Jalopnik staff.

Tesla has a pretty decent lead over the other guys, in many senses from technology to experience(as far as EVs go), to infrastructure.

Rumor on the street is Tesla will have the Berlin factory up this year. And another rumor is that UK factory might happen as well. This would make it cheaper.

You are joking right? MS had a decent in windows mobile 6. The problem was that they did not control their manufacturers like HTC who did not put in proper gpu drivers cause they didn’t want to pay $7 for the licensing. They also used 3 year old processors on new phones. This made their WM6 phones run slow like crap.

VW software engineers are having problems, their boss told them to put in an emissions defeat device, but they are having problems figuring out where the tail pipe emissions control system is on the ID.3. That has caused major delays.

First of all, Tesla software is broken down into 2. Well 3 if you count autopilot/fsd. The computer that runs the car, and the computer that runs the infotainment system. While they do the ship and patch model for the infotainment, they are pretty conservative with the actual cars system.

“The Model 3 itself had an 11% market share in Norway, with 15,683 vehicles sold. This is over 50% more than the second-place VW Golf.” for 2019.

The EV sector is doing better than the ICE sector, and Tesla has changed prices all the time both up and down once or twice a year.

Sure, if you want to know how it feels like to put yourself in a blender.

I will remind you GM told us their whole fleet is gonna be EVs this decade. So if they think its gonna take decades for consumer adoption, do they plan to go into hibernation?

You are aware that statistically, only around 5% of class 7 and 8 trucks drive over 500 miles right? Aka, the Tesla Semi fits just fine for the majority of the market and that low cost per mile is pretty darn attractive.

Because of the pandemic? Plus the issues with the Model Y aren’t as bad as the Model 3. We know this based on production numbers of the Model Y being far higher than Model 3 when it came out.
