There's a Tesla store in the rich-people mall near me, I should go see if that's been shuttered yet.

Also in case it hasn't been posted yet:

"Tesla had 3 times as many OSHA violations as the 10 largest US plants combined"

And remember that's just what Elon and his security goons have allowed to be reported :stare:

It's almost like a picture perfect example of Pareto analysis.

Tesla has a almost a 80% share of all the US OSHA citations for EHS issues.

So its just a bulkier model 3?


I mean, if this was a sane car company that wouldn't be the dumbest thing since trying to resue poo poo between different models helps save a lot of costs and makes repairs easier. But since its Tesla, I feel like they'll find a way to screw it up

Elon Musk is catching up to Paul Manafort for title of crime elemental

I think it's more Musk is a supremely arrogant and flaky moron, whereas Manafort needs to commit crimes daily to stay healthy (thus his rapid decline once he got his bail rescinded).

I'm still laughing about the idea of gas savings being paid back to Tesla in order to false advertise the price of their car

Sure this 10 dollar pen seems expensive, but when you think about it we're actually giving you 190 dollars because of the savings over buying a cheap laptop.

yeah I'm pretty sure that's the story for the model s/model x, and most auto makers have some underlying common "platforms" and engine models shared between vehicles

its more that its funny to say "10% bigger == 10% more expensive", like the accounting works that way -- as if its a basket of apples or something

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
10% bigger = slightly less range

Ummmm...I think you'll find the math checks out if you could just put aside your blind rage towards Musk -- if you build a car that's zero feet in length, the cost is also zero!

Problem is, they're sharing parts with a model that sucks absolute poo poo and has a myriad of issues caused directly by the terrible design of parts

quote:

I didn't hand over $250k for the founder series. I 'only' put down a $50k deposit. So, I'm assuming by the time all of the founder series have been delivered, those of us who were cheapskates and only put down $50k will get a car with most of the issues worked out.

In my case, the $50k deposit came from selling 5 bitcoin which, I kid you not, cost me less than $500. So, in my own mind, I paid just $500 for the deposit. Or, at least that's how I rationalize it.

I currently own a 2010 Tesla Roadster Sport and it has been an incredible vehicle and it will be my life's dream of owning the new Roadster.

You are correct, that my $50k is at risk but, if you compare that to how much my bitcoin has decreased in value in the past year, that $50k is like pocket change.

I basically already wrote it off in my mind, and I have an abundance of patience.

Your points, however, are all well taken.

In 2020 Tesla says it will start manufacturing the Model Y — a crossover based on the Model 3 — in its Nevada Gigafactory, but a source inside the factory told Business Insider a Model Y line has yet to be built. Tesla declined to comment on this point.

SING TO ME MUSK, HOW TWITTER LOVE THE CAR
the dooming sting of the tweets that ruined so many
the chumps and the bazingas hurled headlong into the Gigafactory
to sip bitter cola with the sluts and kinky-haired Grimes,
dollar store poo poo, not even brand-name;
thus was the will of Rococo Basilisk.
Begin with the wit of that lord--
Azealia Banks
who descended like night upon the outdoor paint booths
of unfortunate Tesla where the employees all camped.
As the sun in her splendor, spangles her rays
upon the gaps of the panels when the day is just dawning
so too was the light that came from the mouth
of that Pabst beer pussy methhead-junkie, for nigga she had
hella fine platinum up in her grill.
And seeing the masses of Model 3s, a full generation
set for ten years in grim siege on the sand
Azealia rattled her roll of nickels, a thunderous funk
and made known her will.

"Well well well
guess now be a good time to buy stock in Steve Jobs' cancer treatments
since y’all look like you ready to storm Silicon Valley and start a personality cult.
First time I seen a fleet of car carriers using they momma’s dirty drawers to transport meth.
That ain’t no Tesla insignia, that just an IUD.
An do I see Elon sticking gettin rutty with that actress? Ima call Johnny Depp,
tell em they all need to file a missin bustas report.
And he's ugly. The thin grey lips and froggy eyelids.
Un-uniformed hair growth pattern. Pork skin.
He's on the Down Syndrome Spectrum.
FOR SURE.”
