-Build in as few batteries as possible to get acceptable range and top performance
Ya, I wondered how this might impact Founder Series sales. Sure looks half packed to me.
That's the key. In an RT there won't be any "regen unavailable" situations . . . because it won't let itself get into those.
(Also, since when does "low battery" not allow for regen?)
This is the first time we have an official confirmation that FSD is actually shadowing the driver. I am pretty confident it wasn't the case until very recently. Great stuff!

That dude doesn't know what he is talking about. He said rust on a disc makes the brakes stop working.
Reality is that rusty discs grab better than smooth ones. Your brakes don't fail to work, they work better with rust on them.
Good news on cybertruck charge rates:
from Drew Baglino:
Which is awesome, as the one genuine complaint I kept seeing about the CT was the charge curve being a disappointment. Its not like Tesla was having trouble finding CT buyers (even pure foundation series ones) anyway, but ever bit helps.
Its funny how all the awesome stuff Tesla does gets forgoteen because we always chase the latest news. Robotaxi reveal date has everyone so excited we have forgotten that the cybertruck ramp is ongoing. Remember when all we had to be excited about was a rumored model 3 highland .
Lets not even mention that its time for a bot update.
Cybertruck is only at half pack.
AntonioD ex Tesla ex Munro current catl said it's a vent channel . Nothing to see here
Tesla did NOT offer discounts this deep all throughout Q1. They made a temporary $1000 price cut in early Feb. They began to offer more deep inventory discounts late in March - mainly MY 7-seaters and really just the last 10 days as verified by my friend. I know because I was in the market for a MY here in Cleveland (a single data point I understand). Then they raised prices $1000 on MY across the board earlier this month; this was announced in Mar this would happen April 1 after the temporary discount. I've been buying and selling Teslas every S3XY model except S accross the last decade. Tesla offers inventory discounts from time to time, as well as other incentives. They will probably do something similar the end of this Q. What else is new? This does not connotate demand issues necessarily.
Again right now, just to keep us in context here, we are ONLY talking MY (at these deep discount levels) and ONLY in the US, and ONLY this Q. If inventories remain constant, that's what we want 25-35 days in inventory has been Tesla's kind of mean over the past 5 years (showed this in a previous post). We ended this Q with 28 days. Keeping inventory in this range, and ASP (and TTM FCF always) are what I'm eyeing this and next Q.
If this is indeed the case... I have questions... firstly, why not make a bigger pack available for more $$$ instead of the bed battery?
One of those Tesla mysteries that’s likely to be revealed unexpectedly at a shareholder meeting or ER call or interview -If this is indeed the case... I have questions... firstly, why not make a bigger pack available for more $$$ instead of the bed battery?
Ya, I wondered how this might impact Founder Series sales. Sure looks half packed to me.
I thought the battery sandwich was supposed to be structural. The air gap can't help that cause... quite the mystery.
At the time many suggested the bed battery would never actually exist as a production thing--- if they have the ability to put more in the actual pack once 4680 ramp is better that might turn out to be true
So, exactly how Tesla has operated from Model S days. Release a highly functional vehicle and work on adding more functionality and perks for years.
Cybertruck battery pack isn't half full. It's a vent channel. Discussed by someone who worked at Tesla and now is at CATL (supposedly, I didn't verify)
You mean instead of the air channel that vents in case of a thermal runaway event ?If this is indeed the case... I have questions... firstly, why not make a bigger pack available for more $$$ instead of the bed battery?
