Exactly the same scenario here: my 8-year-old son wants the Cybertruck bad. I told him that if he gets good grades and gets some sort of college scholarship (either sports or academic), then my 2024 Foundation Series Cybertruck is his to keep. I seriously doubt I'd ever sell the OG Cybertruck...

I think the opposite: the fact that your kids are getting picked on just gives them the option to develop resilience (and/or fight back FUD by debating the merits of the truck). I say keep it and let your kids grow their minds by able to a) not care what others think, and b) develop their...

I think a guy named Elon once said that production is hard. Unless Rivian can scale (250K+ units per year), they are doomed. I hope that their gen 2 and gen 3 stuff is amazing and that they are able to scale. Good luck to them, either way, and I wish them the best.

You must either be a Rivian shareholder or a Rivian owner, as you are the one not seeing the reality. I own neither the stock nor the car so I'm looking at it objectively. The fact is, Rivian's cash burn is significant and I don't see a way out for them. Just look at their Free Cash Flow and...

Two main factors: 1) Back then, Tesla had to create the market on its own. Battery costs were 3x what they are today. 2) Even with those headwinds, Tesla did not lose as much as Rivian is losing today. Despite having more $ in secured funding, Rivian isn't as cost-competitive as Tesla. In...

Anyone who uses FSD with the v13.x.x version already knows that FSD supervised is already safer than most humans. The most amazing thing is that v13 isn't even the final form! I can't wait to see how good v14 is.

It's also entirely possible that OP's vehicle was not on FSD.

Agreed; no autonomy, no sale. I can't fathom anyone would buy a car in the future that doesn't drive by itself. Ergo, all non-Teslas would see their value plummet if the above is true. I'll also say that Tesla could have given the Cybertruck 500+ miles of range by adding more battery cells...

$60B market value for a money-losing proposition. SMH. And this is our "competition." Wall Street has zero idea of how much money FSD will print for Tesla...

That is one reason why I think FS Cybertrucks (and those vehicles that have FSD purchased in full) will not only retain their value but increase their value once FSD is fully solved. I would even say that Tesla will stop selling cars when FSD can be purchased as a one-time cost: it will be 100%...

Thankfully, Tesla is a global company and is set to sell the Cybertruck all over North America, not just in one particular area in NY. :p And globally, the demand for the Cybertruck is much, much higher than you think.

I doubt it. The demand for Cybertruck is insane and you will be surprised. I know you want the prices to come down, but that won't happen for a few years.

I have tried them all and TeslaFi has been the best for my personal use. It keeps track of not just your drives, but also your charging history. It then compares your range versus others. It's got so much cool info and it's presented in a very nice way. I use both TeslaFi and the STATS app...

For me, it has always been TeslaFi. Amazing historical data and not expensive at all ($5 per month).

I'd like to add one tiny tidbit: Even though Tesla's market share is decreasing (well, because Math), Tesla is still taking the lions share of profits. I'm willing to bet that even when Tesla's market share drops to 20%, they would be taking 80% of the profits. This is because none of the...

Six months later, we can confirm that the article aged rather poorly. Cybertruck is the #1 EV pickup truck with a massive 30% market share. And the cheaper version isn't even out yet. o_O

The absolutely worst thing that can happen to any individual, let alone a teenager, is for them to hit a "home run" like OP did with NVDA. You will always think that a) you're smart, and b) want that hit again. This is akin to taking a drug and can lead to horrible outcomes. Also, playing it...

The biggest thing about Foundation Series is your ability to get one soon, especially if you didn't reserve back in 2019. To me, that alone is worth the small $5K premium.

How is this relevant? 10 months of storage?! In a very high temperature?! Even if we assume the above applies to Tesla batteries, the relative loss is so minor that it's not even worth worrying about. From 0.98 to 0.89 relative capacity loss? How much loss is that in real-world mileage? I...

I can verify this claim about BMS. I used to always charge at 90% and had a 600 km range in my Model S. Then the range suddenly started to drop to 590, then to 580. I switched my charging to 70% and miraculously it gave me back the 20 km range that it had lost. This is all verified by...
