Question regarding the new ownership report from Tencent. To me, it looks like they are reporting owning 5% with two differenr holding entities, which means they control 10%. Did Tencent doubled its stake in Tesla?

Thanks. I fixed it. That's not my article BTW. What I think John is saying is that the interest of Buffett and fossil fuel companies are aligned in the case of Nevada's grid and it's better for them to have Buffett as the face of their movement than their usual puppets.

Thanks for that message. that's very reassuring. Tesla also said that they would "recertify" the car through the CPO program so there's that too. Yeah I would also prefer AWD and that's what I aim to get with the Model 3. I figured I don't know exactly when that will be available in Canada so...

Hey Doug, Indeed it looks like Im buying your old car. Anything I should know about it? Any quirks?

Yeah I'll be there. Though I hear that it is not sure that the Model 3 will be a release candidate, which would be a bummer.

i was talking about price sorry, not cost.

Any TSLA investor calculated a projected cost per sqft for the solar roof?

It's only that. When he posted that, I was trying to confirm the information and he sent out a tweet saying that Electrek would post an article about based on his info - which wasn't his info. Hence my problem with it and my involvement.

How is it offensive? he did lie. I'm just warning you when basing anything off of his information. He first shared the info on his Twitter an hour after the call was over and the reddit thread was posted. He didn't say where the info was coming from. When I asked. He said he was on the call...

It's not about disputing the information. it's about lying about the source of the information. Again with the test drive stuff. He claims it's an "exclusive", but it's not. It has been on the FAQ section of Tesla's website for months: Model 3 Reservations FAQ When can I test drive Model 3...

elon's velvet jacket was someone from sales, like a product specialist. store coordinator or owner advisor. The nature of the information he shared and when he shared it was in line with when those people get the info. He seems to have stopped after another product specialist complained on...

I advise caution about any information coming from this Model 3 Owners club guy. He has straight up lied about his sources before. For example, he lied about being on the institutional investor call with Elon earlier this month. He posted a bunch of information from the reddit thread about it...

Hi @nigel Fred from electrek.co here. Sorry to hear about your Tesla. I'd be very interested to see the footage. I've been reporting on stolen Teslas recently, like the case of the two Model S in Germany that weren't recovered. If you want to reach out here or via email: [email protected], I'd...

Kauai is going online next week. Most of the PW2 were delivered in Jan-Feb.

Yeah guys the 404 problem is really annoying. It's a problem with Wordpress and they hAve been working on it for weeks. It affects a few articles every week seemingly randomly and only for certain people, but we can't seem to find any correlation with region, browser, or anything like that. A...

Hey guys, jumping here real quick. Thanks for defending me, but I think @schonelucht has a point to an extent. I wasn't able to go as deep as I wanted to on that subject. But it's not a question of bias or being a "Tesla apologist". If I wanted to make Tesla look good, I simply wouldn't have...

That's simply not true. The update is being pushed since last week. I talked to several owners who have it right now. You can find plenty of them on this very forum and Tesla confirmed it.

It's not bad reporting. Tesla confirmed it. It just didn't roll out to everyone yet.

That's fair. But I would say that though I write 95% of the content on electrek, I wasn't actually the one pushing for the "same team" thing on the site. I'm actually working on a piece explaining why it's easier for EV enthusiasts to get behind Tesla than behind other automakers since they...

I have it under good authority that we are going to see a lot more of those videos in the coming months. We are talking about all sensor feeds being displayed and operated in different conditions. Tesla is serious about showing their progress and building confidence in the system. Since this is...

Hi, author of the article here. I was going to defend myself, but I was pretty much going to say exactly what Turing wrote here. Thanks for that. The goal of the article was really only to highlight the fact that GM is completely walking away from its earlier claim that the Chevy Bolt EV will...

Not until recently, but Tesla has been more severe about this stuff during the last few announcement/events.

Yes, but we weren't allowed to record and the scope of questions that we were allowed to ask was fairly limited.

They didn't as far as I know. They just reached out and referred to it as "very similar" to the "solar roof" they are working on. Sunpower did the same. Forward Labs was looking to raise money and they quickly shut down the Kickstarter. Sources went dark. But I assume they got their money. From...

I said it was my article in the comment. I thought it was relevant to this thread considering several people speculated that tesla probably will not release new AP hardware soon. Also, if you look at my posting history on TMC, I really don't spam my content at all. I rarely post really. I...

Retrofit aside for a minute. For those of you who think Tesla is in no hurry to introduce second generation AP hardware, I would consider reading this article I published this afternoon: Tesla responds to Mobileye’s comments on Autopilot, confirms new in-house ‘Tesla Vision’ product Tesla...

I didn't see it first, but it might have been reported here first. Someone ping me and I looked into my own 'MyTesla' page, but that doesn't mean it wasn't reported here first. All I meant to say with my previous post is that not all info came from the source code. After Tesla refused to...

Nothing changed as far as I know, but I'd like to clarify a few things that some people here seems to be getting wrong - though it might be on me if I wasn't clear enough. First off, there's a clear distinction between what was announced Sunday, which is Autopilot under v8.0 of Tesla's...

Electrek reported more than what was found through the source code. We reported about the unbundling plan that will see the price of the S/X go down by $2k.

Yes for v8.0. Tesla is testing the new features on current vehicles with the AP's EyeQ3 chip and the same MCU since the original Ap launch. No for AP 2.0 though. Tesla will need more or better chips and the MCU is also reaching its limit. But I also believe that added computer power is...

Hi Model X owners, Fred from Electrek here. I recently published an article about the upcoming hardware upgrades of Tesla's Autopilot program, often referred to as 'Autopilot 2.0': Tesla Autopilot 2.0: next gen Autopilot powered by more radar, new triple camera, some equipment already in...

It's neither a single person operation nor a well-informed source. It's a website that pays $5 a pop for copy editors in India to rewrites articles about companies listed on the stock market. Then they pay google for their articles to show up on the Google Finance newsfeed of these stocks. Over...

Your first chart is not really accurate. While the Tesla Supercharger has a power output capacity of 145 kW the Model S can not take that full capacity and it is capped at 120 kW. There are only 2 things that changed since the Model S was introduced. It was first capped at 90 kW, then upgraded...

I understand what you mean, but make no mistake. When Elon says that he is using the word "beta" in wide releases not in the traditional software development sense of the word, but to make sure owners stay vigilant, he is not lying. Those features have been thoroughly tested in internal beta...

The relationship is not completely over. Tesla has an important fleet of vehicles using Mobileye's EyeQ3 chip and they want to keep improving on the system. 8.0 will be one example of that and they could likely push it a little further, though they are approaching the limits of the current...

Done. Thanks.

Author of the article. I often source content from TMC, but when I do, it's always mentioned and linked in the article. When it;s not, it's because it's not from TMC. Before claiming that it is, can you at least point me to a TMC thread stating that new camera housing are going in the Model S...

Author of the article here. @ecarfan is right. While new housing are going into production, it doesn't mean that the vehicles will have AP 2.0 hardware suite. Tesla's current vehicles have housing for two cameras in only one is being used: Tesla Model X delivered with dual front-facing camera...

Not it was actually melting in the sun. that's why the side mirrors are down. They had to put a tent over it shortly after.

Thanks for reading!

That's a bummer. Thanks for the info though.

When downloading the vehicle logs here: https://upload.teslamotors.com/ are owners able to see the logs or are they encrypted so that only Tesla Service can read them? I'm asking because it would be cool to back up some stories with data and make them more credible to counter the media...

That's not what I meant in the article. Now going into the UI refresh, there will also be a small update to the Autopilot-generated interface on the dashboard (current dashboard pictured above – we couldn’t get pictures of the 8.0 update). The models of the vehicles around the Tesla will now be...

I created a poll to test the waters for shareholders of both companies at this early stage of the deal: Elon Musk will not vote on Tesla’s (TSLA) acquisition of SolarCity (SCTY), shareholders will decide on Musk Industries [Poll]

I have an update on the Tesla accident for those following: Tesla logs show that Model X driver hit the accelerator, Autopilot didn’t crash in building on its own Edit: Oh man, the driver is getting back to me. He is not giving up. Sticking to his story (or his wife story).

I think you are confusing FredTMC with myself. Yeah I think there's something really fishy with this thing. I asked Tesla for the logs (told the owner too). I think they will shed some light on this, but my initial feeling: something not right here.

Regarding the earlier report of new Autopilot hardware and pedestrian alert. It is downgraded to "unlikely". Report: Tesla to introduce new Autopilot hardware and pedestrian alert to the Model S [Update: unlikely]

The mistake could very well be from PR too. I wouldn't take either comment as the absolute truth.

Tesla President talks about a factory in China and increasing production capacity to satisfy Model 3 demand "Following McNeill’s comment, a Tesla spokesperson told us that “600,000 per year” was a mistake and that “there has been no change” to the factory’s planned capacity."

Author of the original report here. You sure about that. Why talk about all articles as if it adds any weight to the statement. I hope you are not learning anything when I tell you that they are all using words like "reportedly" and "allegedly" because they all working off the same report...
