Per Tesla's mission statement it is not about how much money they make. They are all about getting EVs to the masses. Do they need to make enough money to stay afloat and to gap any unforseen obstacles, yes.
But they are not out to gouge people who want to buy an EV.
So, I don't think they are...
Got the notification to download V2024.3.10 (FSD V12.3.3) a couple of hours ago. Got it installed on my M3 and went for my first FSD ride. It is far from perfect, but it will absolutely get better. My biggest complaint is that it doesn’t honor the driver’s selection for acceleration mode. I...
I have been using Tesla insurance on my M3 since April. I'm going to give up on it and switch to another company. I get dinged for things that are not my fault and just strange events, where there is no obvious clue why I'm getting dinged. I used to cost me $95 or so a month. But it just keeps...
It has been a long time since I've looked at the equations on the fields.
I thought inductive fields fall off at the distance squared. So unless your you real real close to the inductive charging field, you get a lot of loses.

Hey Crissa, where did you get that info about the two-motors-to-an-axle that wasn't carbon wrapped?
We all know the Semi uses tri-motor. But has there been a tear down or Tesla saying that the motors are carbon wrapped?
I do not know that is true.
Three motor design doesnt mean carbon wrapped motors.
Plaid requires carbon wrapped motors.
I havent seen anything that says tri-motor has carbon wrapped motors. Could have missed it. I have seen that Plaid requires carbon wrapped motors.
I worked on the calculations some more today.
I think I was trying to do to much.
The data from the spreadsheet is not very reliable. Worked on my normalize routine to try and make RN and Dates line up better.
I simplied the totaling logic.
I'm more happy with the results.
Quarter: 2020 Q3...
The only thing I do different is subtrack out the Tesla's deliveries for previous quarters. So the difference between the two estimates for the first few quarters are close. But evey quarter, Tesla's deliveries are ramping up. So a year or two after the CT announcment the deliveries...
