Total CT demand for moon and Mars is zero. It will never go to either unless it's for testing a payload like the Roadster in Mars orbit.
It’s going to stop a 9mm. This is no better at war than a f150. And if you bring an EV to war, you are an idiot. Ild take a M35 multifuel. Probably run of compost tea if you needed it to.
That’s probably the best thing I have ever heard about the CT. Keep it simple.
My grandpa gave me a giant compass from an old sailboat. I plan to mount it right on the dash.
But the model 3 was also really their first mass produced car. Now they know what they are doing and they have the biggest factory to do it in.I'm predicting < 500 CT deliveries before end of 2023 and between 20,000 to 50,000 CT deliveries before end of 2024.
Tesla/Elon will NOT ramp up CT production until they figure out how to cost effectively mass produce it. Model 3 only had about 50k produced in the first year before they started mass production at the 5,000/week run rate.
On the flip side, my early CT reservation becomes more valuable now
That’s unfortunate and doesn’t bode well in the pricing department. I guess the question now is how much of a loss are they willing to take? Is it even worth ramping up the CT that quickly over other vehicles that are selling well and have higher margins, like the Model Y and 3? Should Tesla severely reduce production the Model S and Y and just make a smaller amount for sentimental reasons, like they’ve wanted to do in the past? Then they can focus more on the CT and the Semi.
I think you quotes the wrong post, I didn't mention that it won't stop a 9mm. The SS will, the glass we don't really know for sure yet, but I doubt it.
That comment was EM talking about the next gen sub$25k car.
Excellent post Coolbreez, and exactly what I needed to hear. Man that earnings call was a huge financial bummer for me but, your "put on the big boy pants" post is profound.
