Why does it matter @cnocbui ?
Some people like to keep finances quiet. I could understand why he wouldnt post the price, especially initially until the sale was confirmed and the car was paid for, and then until VRT was paid. There's eyes and ears everywhere from the revenue

Website is not updated, but the design studio is, once you hit "Order".
New Model X interior:
I'm so glad, I didn't buy in December ... ...
Also, no Plaid+ for Model X, but there is indeed a Plaid tri-motor version.
Performance models have been abandoned and Plaid models now have Performance pricing.
Old Plaid pricing is now Plaid+.

WTF is with the KITT style steering wheel!0 -

Friend of mine has a M3 SR+ coming end February to Ireland, and the VIN is definatly Shanghai, hence assumed LFP battery. The good news is, that build quality probably will be superior to Freemont, even though Freemont has improved a lot.Oafley Jones wrote: »WTF is with the KITT style steering wheel!
Updated Roadster steering wheel. Probably just going to be the standard going forward. One steering wheel, less production diversity.

I actually watched that video too
He studied footage to get the angles of the bumpers etc correct?0 -

The interior is a huge improvement - don’t be surprised if the steering wheel is a Tesla stunt and you can choose a round one fitted pre delivery. It’s FAR FAR too divisive for a volume manufacturer to take the risk of enforcing it as a choice.
The markets expected far more from them too - just finished reading the script of the investor call
- it’s very very washy on 2021 forecast - they described some woolly way of doing multi-year growth forecast instead. The current share price requires far more to be supported.
- Plenty other questions about the lack of forecasts on the carbon credits, although they say it’s of lessor importance now, and most credits are sold ‘discretely’ at the very end of each quarter.
- plus some Q’s on the $10k price increase and customer service Center delays.
- interesting point that S and X production will start next month but in very low volumes. I guess the factories are heavily geared towards the 3 and Y
- The Semi is a dead duck until they can increase battery volume.
- The roadster is still miles off, but is a side project now that the Plaid is being released
- cybertruck is just leaving the final design phase and is a year away from parts and production still.
- It’s all about the 3 and the Y.
- $250m stock award made to Musk in Q4
Can’t but be impressed - when they announced the stock deal in 2018 I figured it was nigh on impossible
“ During 2020, Tesla made an annual profit for the first time, with net income of $721m. However, it made more than $1.5bn from selling regulatory credits to other carmakers during the year, a profit source that will disappear as rivals catch up with electric car production.”0 -

Thanks for sharing sk8board. You saved me from having to go through that stuff myself. I like to keep roughly updated, but I don't want to spend much time doing so
I forgot to add the part where Tesla basically said (and I’m genuinely only paraphrasing this only slightly!) “if you think about the valuation and kinda squint a bit, and imagine our cars being used in the future as self driving robotaxis, thereby increasing their usability by at least 2x, then the current valuation can kinda be imagined”0 -

Sandy Munro got to interview Elon Musk .... probably the interview of the man ever, so far.
A whole 49 minutes of it.

The one bit of "news" from the interview is that the refresh Model S and Model X will now have lithium 12V batteries. I've been saying for years that all EVs should have this, it really is absurd we are still using lead acid for cars that don't need to be cranked, unlike the ICE cars from the 19th century that most people still drive
Next step to replace all the 12V systems with 48V. The former is also pretty outdated. Much easier to work with 48V, still low voltage and still safe. My eBike battery system is 48V, my home attached battery system is 48V, power over Ethernet is 48V, etc.0 -
