honestly not a huge fan of this idea... it won't help with production speed, even if the effect is minimal... buy it stock, wrap it later... this is coming from a guy who plans to have his CT wrapped most likely...
would be all for something like this.
once FSD comes to full operability, I'll engage it so my car can drive me home from the bar 🍻
for daily driving I will honestly enjoy being in control for most drives.
wouldn't surprise me, we've been hearing about the 8,000 ton press for months now, I'm sure they were building it well before that youtube video from IDRA came out a few weeks ago. I'm not saying I'm 100% sold that those drone images are of the 8T press, but it's certainly possible
the cyberlandr website shows it is $49k... but if you throw a $5k downpayment on it today it will knock $10k off the actual price, that is, assuming it isn't vaporware as mentioned above...
I'm in no rush, the amount of aftermarket products that will be built for the CT will likely be staggering
I won't be naïve and say I have no concerns, but I will also point out that given sentry mode and cameras, Teslas will capture vandalism occurring, whereas most all other vehicles don't, so the data is sort of biased on the surface... it's like saying houses with ring doorbells get robbed all...
maybe anyone with M3 pre-order experience can chime in?
How early did you get the true configuration and pre-order email from Tesla before taking possession of your M3?
And the M3 requires paint, didn't have a giga-casting, and Tesla was still very much in its infancy in regard to making making vehicles "for the masses". The M3 was the first car that was much more accessible to the average earner in the US, and their first time having to aggressively ramp to...
I wonder... with Ford making 1 Million+ F150's in a given year, how much bigger is their factory? That number seems astounding, especially given that it is built in the more traditional car manufacturing process that Tesla is claiming to be so inefficient both in time and cost?
Genuine...
This^^ -- I think there is confusion that Fremont is being somehow used to speed up delivery of the CT, when realistically it's an effort to familiarize personnel with the building process, and maybe iron out some real world kinks in the system before *actual* production begins in Texas.
Will...
My guess is the timeline is going to stay the same at best, and this is simply going to help for production ramp as things heat up in late (late) 2021 and then into 2022.
I'm happy they are trying to get employees familiarized with the process in an effort to hit the ground running, I just...
Sounds a lot like taxi drivers getting all up in arms because Uber was utterly destroying their overpriced business model...
Innovators gonna innovate... car dealerships are letting out their death cry as they see the end is in sight... sorry, you took advantage of people for eons, everyone...
The insurance question is such a moving target, I feel it's almost pointless to speculate. So much of someone's insurance costs come from their provider/age/driving history/location etc. that we will see rates varying to the extremes IMO
Overall, I could agree that the "average" - whatever that...
see this is why I am just a dummy on the internet and not a Tesla engineer... that's pretty cool... from a "less parts = better" standpoint it sorta seems like trading one part for another, also the mechanisms needed for a self-opening door would seem to add more parts to the overall vehicle vs...
I could certainly imagine that in the foreseeable future people may need special (paid for) exemptions in order to have ICE vehicles. I can hear California's gov't rubbing their greedy hands together already.
There will pretty much always be a need for fossil fuel, but it may just be relegated...
when the time comes, yes. Peoples "place in line" right now is a realllly loose representation of where you actually stand in the true queue (unless you have a serviceable crystal ball)...
people will cancel, many people ordered multiple orders for single/dual/tri and will cancel, many won't...
