What’s a luxury car these days? The average price of cars keep going up and options in general cars are matching the luxury cars.

The Zoe will not be more important than anything Tesla makes. And for the following reasons:

I’ve seen. back when Georgia had those crazy incentives the Leaf was virtually free.

The biggest issue with that is Zoe leases the batteries, so you would have to buy out your lease I guess? Cause I’m sure your leaser wouldn’t be too thrilled to know their asset is now in another country.

I think with the Zoe you lease the battery, so as a consumer you don’t care but obviously its a waste of batteries.

New EIA numbers are out for May 2020. Coal made up 15.1092535% of electricity in US. Renewables made up 25.2568424%.

The problem with nuclear is that it is too expensive. 2-3X more expensive than renewables.

1) Tesla still plans to do automation. They simply set it aside temporarily to improve the underlining process. For example, one of the issues they had with automation is with wiring. The Model S/X had 3km worth of wires, the Model 3 lowered it to 1.5km, now that they learned where the bottlenecks were, the Model Y…

Again, the factory is their main factory so more than just building cars goes on there, they build components there and they do R&D there and etc.

You seem to think covid is permanent which is funny. Q3 will be a record quarter in terms of sales and Q4 will be even larger. As Tesla grows, of course they will need more factories.

And Q3 they plan to have record deliveries, so they may not even need the credits depending on how Corona goes of course.

Didn’t they just repaint a statue that was already there?

Trucking turnaround time on average is 30-40 minutes, that is enough time to charge just fine.

I was talking about semis

I know a person who put diesel inside their Lexus RX... it traveled 1 block and broke down.

You’d be surprised. Semi trucks are all about $/mile. And it’s hard to beat electric in $ per mile. Long distance trucks that go over 500 miles makes up only 5% of trucks. (Even that 5% has methane to compete with which is slightly cheaper)

It looks like it always has in recent times, a Ford Focus with some sport options.

Would this qualify as a Mustang and a Pony Car?

Tesla owns the battery technology they have, Panasonic just fabs them. Same way how Qualcomm, AMD, Nvidia or ARM own the technology they have and go to 3rd party to fab them.

I don’t think Musk cares, unlike Ford Musk actually sells the cars he shows, not blue ball you with prototypes you will never ever get to see outside a promotion event or drive.
