I paid $18k after 30% tax credit in 2015, for a 10kW system without powerwalls. Sure you can do better than 32k for the same size system in 2024, unless you meant it is 10kW solar and two powerwalls as one system. Also how do you only consume 1333kWh in a month, you don't have AC or an electric...

Not even close - since 2015 my 10kW solar production degraded less than 5% while off peak price of electricity went up 270% from ev6 off peak 12 cents to forced switch into EV-A then ev2a plan at 36 cents per kWh. It paid for itself in less than 6 years, even when not counting replacing last...

Not doing solar would be insanely expensive, as it produces at least 25 years of electrical bills worth of electricity.

Remember when Elon was crying about the stupidest experiment of mankind - well looks like he full on supposed climate change deniers now:

64% range on my 2018 310 mile car would be only 200 mile. Mine is at 270. Our p3d from 2022 after 2 years is at 280 mile epa down from 300 with the larger tires. These numbers look much worse than my experience

Or to get an early notice of teslas defense strategy. I hope all with inside knowledge keep their cards close to the chest.

Are you kidding ? On average FSD supervised must be much safer than human drivers. It wouldn't plow through stop signs into cars, through reds emotionally triggered but other racers etc, road raging

In reality western fossil fuel has managed to inhibit electrification progress everywhere except in China. Brilliant move on elons part.

until Delaware happened I didn't see this as significant, the cash flow of incentive money for batteries and EV to Tesla did not look like ignoring to me. But this must be the single most biggest threat against America's number one innovator Tesla and Elon Musk.

According to bmw has one that goes to 135 kph fully hands off in their latest 5 series ?

Did you mean 130mph ? I have not once hit a bird in my 30 years of driving including Autobahn, but I do stay below 100mph usually, at least in the US. Butterflies and bugs - different story.

Bigger is cheaper. Got it.

I said these republicans sound like Bernie sanders.

Sounds like Bernie Sanders. Short sighted attempt to appeal to selfish greed and social envy plus a dose of right wing fear of somebody taking from you. Strategically this would cement Chinas gaining of the upper hand in electrification and the economic advantaged that come with it. If it were...

When is the shareholder vote going to happen? I checked my email and the last related proxy vote email is from 2023

Wish it was semi truck instead. Unlike in the USA, in Germany there is limited acceptance for apparent selfishly inefficient monster trucks unless things changed there significantly in last 20 years. Which means larger leverage for interested parties to agitate against Tesla. Not many raptors...

to maintain I get but to repair ? Colission repair always seemed one order of magnitude more expensive. Wait, is CR where the advertisement $$$ went ?

I observe massive data upload only on days that I used FSD

My image of you is that you are highly skilled in an area and have good contributions to make, while maybe missing the point in some other areas: Now that compute is not the bottleneck, training data from real world driving is. The more people use it the faster FSD value will rise. Unlike some...

That would compete with the leaf. Aggressive price.

That is what I thought back in 2017 about the model 3 at half the cost of a model S. I had to test drive it to believe it.

2018 (January) Model 3 RWD LR in California here. What's your hardware ? Typical mistakes it makes for me is moving over into right turn lane when planning to go straight. Couldn't try if it would actually turn as there were other cars I couldn't let it cut off. Map showing only one of two...

I am puzzled about 12.3.4 - compared to 12.3.3 it is less solid in picking lanes and made more mistakes, but noticed something else - it seems to have more a mind of its own. For example it will not always take the route the navigation displays. Did they turn off some guardrails because of...

Just drove to a friends house and despite navigating showing the correct path, it turned into the parallel street and parked itself at the height of the house, but wrong street. After parking and driving and activating again it drove the long U around the block to the correct side and parked...

Interesting. For comparison look at real time data and graphs for California at California ISO - Supply, Today's Outlook 5:30pm PST renewable at 67 %? Gas at 17%. Renewables 67.8% (16,140 MW) Natural Gas 17.6% (4,188 MW) Large Hydro 9.8% (2,328 MW) Imports 0.0% (-1,240 MW) Batteries...

The bizarre thing is that renewable energy can fix this to the point of there being negative prices for electricity at times in europe. So what are we in the US doing wrong ? By the way California PUC and PG&E keep raising prices and removing incentives for solar adoption at the same time, it...

Because level 2 like Tesla FSD supervised is allowed while RT (which doesn't exist yet) doesn't ? I don't think this will prevent RT from happening eventually once it is proven safe enough, just a stop gap law to prevent Wild West like cruise

You mean instead of the air channel that vents in case of a thermal runaway event ?

If they were stuffing the dealers inventory would go up or doesn't that count in that statistic ? Inventory/sales would only drop if sales go up ?

Let's switch up the FUD and look at Carsharing-Anbieter wollen weniger Elektroautos German Mainstream News website reporting that EV are declining in fleet and rideshare adoption 'too complicated and expensive' citing Hertz and "toxic rechargeable batteries" with "limited lifetime" as reason for...

I might have bad news for you.

Looks like April 23rd is webcast - that's a long time to wait for clarification https://ir.tesla.com/tesla-vehicle-production-deliveries-and-date-financial-results-webcast-first-quarter-2024

Probably hypothetically electric vehicle

Ok I was very excited about getting v12.3 on my 2018 model 3 rwd, and it does a lot of things better but far from what you describe. Dips are detected now instead of plowed through, it respects the 15mph sign in my residential street instead of barreling down at 25, turns are a bit smoother...

It's One anecdotal my contractor told me about his buddy who bought one and complains about it all the time makes me think they sold it too expensive with not enough value and not enough freebees and guidance to excite and turn early ford EV adopters into brand ambassadors like Tesla did. I...

Bless your heart

I am not worried about them being a threat to Tesla. I am worried about them not being a threat to legacy ICE car makers, who become comfortable doing only hybrids. I hope Tesla gives some friendly advice on how to become profitable.

And yet consumers electricity prices at least as far as I know in Germany are high. Here in California they jacked up electricity prices for off peak from 17 cents to 36 cents over the last 5 years with further raises already on the road map. That's one way to make sure consumers don't...

I disagree. Sure it makes a big difference if you don't have to think about the next charge, but if there is a supercharger where you shop and dine then that's already a superior experience compared to hanging around at gas stations, also no oil change and smog checks and all the other...

So automated windshield wipers in 2 weeks ?

So detailed instructions for copycats included. Sounds like professional sabotage work, not environmental nerdery.

Attention seeking garden tool is all he is

This all makes sense. This doesn't make any sense - drive as fast as you want and take one bathroom break once in your trip is giving you an issue ? You'd be going to the bathroom on arrival anyway while parked.

You think Astro turfing doesn't work there?

Somebody really wants to move him into the crosshairs. With that I don't mean the original poster on X.

Because of misinformation campaigns like his.

Which leads us to the question - why the misinformation - a cybertruck marketing campaign? Revenge for the recent bullying? Somebody should community note his posts

For me it's most useful on the freeway. If you don't want it to switch lanes into the fast lane then set your speed goal to what's in front of you and set it to chill instead of assertive. I have zero problems controlling it that way from the steering wheel. Then again I am not often wanting to...

Looks like it's not only Elon that knows to play 4D chess

Consider the possibility that options are the product and farming demand is a profitable endeavor
