Not my dataset but I speak auto. SOP/EOP is start of production/end of production. DIFFERENT from retail sales start or delivery dates when dealing with dealer distro, but I'm not sure how they align on non-dealer sales.

Not defending the data here, but IHS not IIHS. IHS is an automotive data supplier, not the IIHS/highway safety.

Back in a former life I worked with IHS Markit (yes, that is how it's spelled for those not familiar) data for marketing and logistics for a Big-3. Important context is where IHS gets its data from for the delta and how frequently the database is updated. IHS is primarily fed by secondary...

At least it probably smelled halfway decent. But yeah, I couldn't imagine the amount of water/steam cleaner needed to get that all out.

I had a ranger with a bare floor, and the best feature ever - a drain plug. Spill a soda? Or worse, milk? Rinse it out at the car wash lmao.

I'm really hoping for a factory delete on carpet floors. Give me vinyl or just steel I can spray rhinoliner on or something.

If you mean for long trips/supercharging, I see your point. That said, 99% of the time you're charging at home. Full "tank" literally every morning, from home. Unless you don't have access to a charger at home (like you live in an apartment without them), and you aren't supercharging for a...

This is exciting! More EVs to market is a win for literally everyone.

I live and work in very deep rural areas. The kind that if you walk into a corner store with hair longer than a crew cut they will tell you "cut your hair you look like a girl." That's real, it happens to me frequently. I have ~12" long hair I tie up and an accompanying 8" beard and I get the...

Something I've been wondering - and I've searched this thread for this topic and didn't see an answer - do we have any sort of faith in the estimated delivery dates? I ask because the tracker puts me at 99k overall, 32k in trim, but estimates my delivery in November 2022. Is the tracker really...

Don't do this to me. Don't give me hope.

As a survivor of over 30 Northern Michigan winter cycles, I get where you're coming from. That said the icebreaker on the Model x likely exerts more force on the actual door than me leg up pulling on a door handle. And it does such in a way that won't have me comically flying backwards when my...

These trickle updates are the only way I keep myself excited about the CT and not "settling" for a Y or a used X.

I wonder how well that works when coated in dust/mud/ice, and if brushing it off (or busting off ice) works.

I am intrigued. I assume it means exterior door handles, and the comments so far cover my thoughts. With ice breakers that makes it less concerning, and I'm happy that the look will be even more atypical. My biggest concern is if this introduces some sort of reliance on a bluetooth connection...

Hi All! I'm trying to assess the relative energy efficiency of different electric vehicles, and attempt to project an efficiency metric for the CT, as it comes to "energy used per mile of propulsion" rough calculation. This is primarily napkin math for me so I can calculate incremental solar...

240kWh battery....is this a $150k trailer?!

I think you've got something backwards. Spoilers below for anyone who hasn't read the Dune series.

I think one could make a convincing argument that Elon is taking guidance from Dune's Golden Path, with spice = fossil fuels. I am far from the first to suggest this connection. It does beg the question for me, however - is Elon more Paul, or is he Leto II? Given that he is taking the first...
