There will be limited production of CT in 2023. If the CT requires the 9kton GP for both the rear and front castings then perhaps they will just swap the tool (die) after a month or so and build enough castings for limited production this year. It is probable that everyone is now considering...

I live in East Mesa AZ, it is not too difficult to guess her tribal affiliation and news sources so concerns about the environment or macro health concerns are just hoaxes to her. Since this a Tesla related forum we can understand that change is mostly being driven by Tesla not any state...

A neighbor was angry at me when I told her that EVs will largely replace ICE vehicles. She then went on an emotional rant about the government forcing her to drive an EV. While it could be argued that the govt forced us to land folks on the moon I don't recall the American gulags containing...

Tesla is down much more than the general market and it dived following the twitter announcement. I doubt irked liberals are driving the price down and conservatives are not driving the price up. More likely that folks are losing confidence in Musk.

cash for ICE klunkers... People are buying new ICE vehicles now that will be hard to sell in 5-10 years and then with less ICE vehicles on the road there will be less gas stations, etc. as the dominos fall. Oh there will be great gnashing of teeth! But I agree that this will hurt lower and...

I hope I wasn't coming across as sarcastic. I doubt that Elon has comprehensive plan for our economy but speaks for his own self-interest. Subsidies for his competitors is not in his interest.

Musk is opposed to subsidies. He thinks that proven "capital allocators" like himself should be handling our tax dollars. A typical libertarian position. He does want educated employees and better infrastructure for the vehicles he sells, perhaps more tunnels... oh yes, and more govt...

we all see it...

Typical fear mongering. It is the same thing here in the US. Disruptive tech is going to take your jobs away.

"Tesla can't build them all today." It does take time for change to happen. Tesla, as an organization, was small and unencumbered and had the ability to achieve the change hypervelocity that is impressing. As they grow they will lose that nimble nature. Remember when Elon introduced the Tesla...

I have a honda crosstour (soon to be sold). When my wife and I decided to consider the tesla MY I was concerned that it would be too compact. We really liked the crosstour because it is roomy and comfortable. So I compared the cabin dimensions and was surprised that the dimensions were all...

we are all spartacus...(couldn't resist) But I do agree. Tesla had a crazy year with an incredible amount of attention good and bad. The rise in SP seemed irrational and probably is if view from the perspective of fundamentals. Tesla needs to iron out the petty quality issues and publish...

I live in east Mesa AZ. I am just a couple of miles north of the old GM proving ground. Years ago when GM would load some vehicles with data acquisition equipment (and their manufacturer plates) you could often see them driving around. Perhaps the driver was an engineer or tech or just a...

Are superchargers unattended? Parking an ICE in a supercharge space is trespassing. Have it towed.

bitterness of beer? I have them in the preamp section of my guitar amp. But if, for some reason, folks decide that some other tech sounds better than tube amps then there will be no incentive for anyone to make these tubes. When some pol declares that there will be a restriction on ICE etc...

"CNBC says Elon dampened expectations :" designing new tech and the production line takes time like fine wine. Still, less than two years to be in full scale production? This is good news for investors (long).

the saying "if you build it, they will come" seems aspirational for many. "if you can lie and get their money we can build anything" seems the M.O. for too many entrepreneurs.

The demise of ICE was always on the horizon. EVs were here in 1832 but the cost of storing energy in fuel was better/cheaper than the tech to store electrical energy. The trend in battery improvement continues to happen and EVs will be the future as BEVs are simpler and efficient . The...

They show a planetary gear AND a gear reduction system. Seems redundant.

I recall some quote from a Saudi oil minister that 'the stone age did not end for the lack of stones'. Electrical energy storage is the key/sole technology that kills the fuel use of fossil fuels. There is no law of nature that potentially prevents batteries from achieving much higher ED using...
