Did the form Tesla gave you have the required information that they report to the IRS on form 15400 (Clean Vehicle Seller Report)?

Like you mentioned, US centric.

Fair? How can that be a fair argument? Buying a company/ shares thereof means also acknowledging its obligations. The fact that there was an already vested compensation plan did not dissuade them from purchasing the stock, but now they refuse to honor that agreement? Nothing fair about that...

Oh, yup! Getting further away by the hour!

Two and a half years from now "These 25 launches, Calvelli notes, are due to be completed by the end of 2027." So one a monthish.

$7,500 extra down-payment (unless you request it back as cash), no impact on your taxes other than needing to file an additional form.

Yes to auto transformer, Powershare UWC backfeeds low voltage to Gateway for dark startup.

Should be original amount. $7,500 acts like additional down payment.

Well, he has shared the core message before...

Boring wasn't chosen last year, but a bunch of data in Volume 3. https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/96820/638180158511170000

It's also important to remember that Cd is only one factor in the aero drag formula: Cd*front_crossectional_area*(v²*1/2*fluidDensity) A 10% lower Cd is negated by a 10% taller or wider (or 5% taller and wider) crossection. (Speaking in generalities, Cybertruck and R1T are fairly similar in...

This is the investing-in-Tesla thread, not the make-the-most-money-in-random-stock thread. FSD, Optimus, Cybertruck, new lower cost models, robotaxi, Megapack expansion are all positives to look forward to regardless of transitory (up or down) stock price.

I take it you are not in Michigan nor travel through it...

High jobless numbers mean good interest rate outlook?

It's a law here, driving is not a basic freedom (see also driver's license requirements). As to enforcement, no jail time, just $$$.

From his post: "The recent layoffs that are rocking the company and its morale have thrown this harmony out of balance and it’s hard to see the long-game." Nothing stated about Supercharging layoffs specifically. I get Rich's sentiment, but the added implication of one group as the catalyst is...

Could it not instead mean that the NN + interior camera* are now sufficient to determine driver attention (which was the reason for wheel torque sensing)? Either it's officially Level-whatever-doesn't-require-attention-monitoring-for-safety/-NHTSA-satisfaction, or the monitoring does not...

Kick a normal car's door, kick Cybertruck's: exoskeleton. They never said monocoque construction. Though some pieces are not stressed, Frans or Lars said the rear sails add 20% to torsional ridgity. Body on frame? Please circle the body verses frame pieces: There is no redundancy...

Ok, in the style of H2G2, "it's mostly mobile"

They are swapping the valve.

That is the Massey stand, it's mobile.

In a vehicle friendly form factor with limited collection time/ distance along direction of travel?

Ground truthing the vision system should not be region dependent though (unless there is some seriously strange road surface). Plus, Elon's post indicates that use case mat have been eliminated. It's remotely possible they are for purpose built multiperson Boring Company vehicles (developed...

Regarding the lidar purchase Might be for manufacturing. Lidar is popular for autonomous guided carts in manufacturing for collision avoidance. With the new tunnel(s) going in, they might prefer a higher performance sensor package than standard 2D types, especially with the 17 degree tunnel...

Could be a couple things: The inference based validation which run the NN against all test data. Twice as many tests take twice as long unless you double the hardware. And using vehicle FSD computers means approximately real time testing. For example: 1 million 15 second clips = 4,200 hours =...

I hope it's better than their pack video... The power conversion system and EVSE negotiate incoming power before it is supplied. It doesn't recieve AC/DC and then react. Wade mode does not take 30 minutes to start up. It lasts for up to 30 minutes. (Reportedly takes 10 to start, but that seems...

No, I explicitly did not:

Sure, over all of Tesla it was 1 in 10. However, the post was in response to its use referring specifically to the 500 person cut in Supercharging. Unless you think that group had 5,000 people initially...

Foundation now has tactical grey interior and 20" rim options. New wheels boost range to 340 AWD 320 Beast.

Can you post photos of the damage?

My point is that there is no need to defend phrasing when the base premise supports the stricter interpretation. It was presented as a single drive because it was a single drive. If it was presented as a repeatable drive, that would be potentially* misleading. Presentation as a universal...

This again??? It's called testing. Most of the miles were in October, but not all... Incorrect. If that were the case why were there zero disengagements in November? For the released drive, they didn't intervene. Were a safety driver not legally required, they could have aborted from the...

Tesla's update is great, under normal usage conditions. Repeatedly requesting the frunk to close indicates it is safe to do so and the vehicle uses greater force each consecutive attempt. Blocking it repeatedly and then changing the blocking object is not normal behavior. Just like holding the...

Right, Troy basically confirmed his statement posted on this thread was incorrect. Other statements afterward may be less so, but those have not been entered into the discussion...

Troy saying "you can see that every move the Optimus Robot makes is controlled by a human." is 100% contradicted by "this is fully autonomous (no human in the loop anywhere)"

What a coincidence! I was looking at their web site today and wondering that myself. Would be a lot simpler if we could do rear mounted like non-seatbelt vehicles, then just use hitch receiver... Maybe clamp/bolt onto the front right recovery hook. Flag bolted to two plates that sandwich the U...

In terms of less cars being ineligible next year, yes. However, it does not make additional vehicles eligible this year. (As I understand it)

Originally, he had to sell to cover the basis and pay taxes due to exercising his 2012 CEO compensation package. EDGAR Filing Documents for 0000899243-21-044060

Hey, watch your language, this is a family friendly, pro Tesla, site! 😉

They're misunderstanding the announcement, it's regarding "hard to trace" minerals, not trace (meaning rare earth?) minerals and Tesla packs are currently not eligible due to to Chinese components, not minerals.

Megapack 2XL has one 3 phase inverter per battery block (three modules) and slots into the container bankplane. The pair of connections are likely the links to the modules.

With a nugget of truth. If the original share owner (lender) was not supportive of the Board's recommendations, but the person who bought the shares from the trader that shorted them (by borrowing from the original owner) is, then that effectively flips the votes from No to Yes.

Yea, but it's not a rebate (implying reduction in sales price); rather, it acts as additional down payment.

3 months??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Ok, maybe you meant only AWD...

Sometime a post is blatantly objectively factually inaccurate. And sometimes the post has been debunked before one gets to it. In those situations, it a thumbs down on the former and a thumbs up on the latter not the most effective course of action?

You are misunderstanding what @SPadival wrote. Interim referred to the time period before unboxed where Tesla makes other models on existing lines. The Robotaxi will not roll out until unboxed is working, but that does not mean unboxed will only be used for Robotaxi. Robotaxi is only made on...

Yes, and they have now required Tesla to file their motion on June 7 before the vote. So Tesla cannot use the results of the vote in their motion and likely cannot reference it in the hearing which will be based on the filings.

First: How big was the Supercharger team originally? At what level did these layoffs occur? How has the team changed over the past year? Q1: 297 sites, 2,687 posts Q4: 357 : 3,787 Q3: 330 : 3,023 Q2: 318 : 2,913 Leveraging regional electrical contractors could be more efficient than a remote...

I was mostly responding to the "take a right and do a U-turn" approach which I recall Chuck had said was more dangerous (but can't find the quote). I agree your route change looks sensible from an ease of maneuver point of view; however, how usable is it really during rush hour? While there are...
