True, but if you can DIY it, definitely will be cheaper than the $4,000 they are asking for full wrap for say, Tesla S or Y (my son-in-law and daughter did it on their Teslas).
You can Google sites where they'll give you an estimate if you provide the dimensions of the area you are going to...
Pre Musk's Twitter distraction, what the investors were most excited about was his statement that he can supply all the electricity needs of the whole country if he is provided with 100x100 miles of land to put up solar panels. And coincidentally this is administration's energy program and the...
I think I owe this thread the background information about the title and subject of this thread. And maybe save your breath in putting out off-target arguments on matters that's not been disputed. Also, hair splitting on who owns the battery technology, who program robots, who own the...
And??? How is that helping your argument?
Check back when Tesla start monetizing their programming knowledge in robotics by selling it to other car manufacturing companies then we'll give them credit that they are moving from "just another car company."
Toyota builts industrial robots but for...
And??? How would that move the needle to your argument that Tesla is not just another car company when every other car company customize those robots for their own assembly line configuration?
Again for the nth time and the premise of the headline statement of the thread.
It's not the profitability nor the quantity, it's Tesla still being unable to leverage it's software capabilities into revenue stream.
You can promise for them all you want until you are blue in the face that they...
Let me repeat, no one is arguing about Tesla's profitability nor it's production and innovative manufacturing capabilities.
The premise of the title of the thread is that Tesla was unable to leverage it's technology, in-house developed softwares and data base into revenue streams to make them...
Cybertruck Besta have been spotted in Palo Alto.
It appears that Tesla is still doing their previous practices where they do a template of their automated production process (lots of software work and programming) in Fremont and have these units tested by employees. Then will eventually...
My son who used to work for Tesla estimate around 50 units being tested by employees. It's not on-track testing but employees taking it home to and from work -- and some weekends.
And it's not that they will be stopping or throttling production to wait for the results of the tests.
Not always. Profitability in mass production is a function of "time" with more units out of the door and spending the lest amount of time on the production floor which is the function of lest complexity in the process and less parts.
Priority will be more on the most profitable variant and with the lest complexity in manufacture.
Since they intend to de-emphasize single motor, it would be dual motor ahead of the more complicated 3 and 4 - motors as they climb into the more complex manufacturing processes.
