I know I am guilty of composing work emails a day or two prior where I though I clicked the send button but had so many windows open that it went for awhile but this looks like it went farther that that.

Just running some numbers and if:
US Model 3 RWD (50Kwh battery) that now sells for $40,390
30% profit margin brings the cost to manufacture to $28,273
EV Manufacturer incentives of $35 per KWh reduces the cost by $1,750 (if I am not mistaken)
This brings cost to manufacture it down to $26,523...
A question about switching from 400v to 800v was posed to team Tesla. Elon and team mentioned it was not worth it to convert the existing vehicles over to 800v for a $100 per car savings. They went on to say 800v would be more useful for heavy load vehicles such as the Semi and CT.
So gleam...
If you haven't seen this guys videos, check them out. He produces about 3-4 per day, so a lot of content at about ~10-20mins per video. Very likeable enough personality and provides pretty current and up to date EV info covering most all aspects. You won't find much hate from the fella so its...
If you think prospective customers are eagerly waiting for final CT specs, imagine how badly the OEM competition is waiting, lol.
The OEM's are totally left in the dark at this point and unable to even plan for what they need to compete against.
I am going to predict a few of the toughest...
Has anyone given any thought if the existing 6 Gigaton press can handle the front clip of the CT? I could see the 8 Gigaton ton press being absolutely required for the rear end but I do question if that would be required for the front end? If the 6 Gigaton press can handle the front end, that...
Being the profit margins for the FSD equipped CT are way higher being it costs Tesla the same amount to manufacture with or without the option I could see Tesla going this route. What are your thoughts? Being it's going to take some time before they can backfill the Tri CT's I would not be...
Based on: With more electric motors on the vehicle its efficiency of range is increased with the same batter pack. Could we possibly see the CTx1 and CTx2 using the same battery pack for ease of manufacturing? I am not sure the efficiency could cover the entire 50 mile range difference BUT...
So Tesla announced that the Model S Tri motor variant will have > 1100hp? Does anyone have thoughts about if the motors for the CT3 will have the same motor configuration? I mostly see specs for the CT3 being between 750-800HP including more recent posts/articles. I know that previously in...
