YouTube 1. I had no idea Teslas weighed so much 2. Here is one going 10.4

[zooomer]

Last night Tesla just shot holes in the arguments of this thread. Exactly as I was talking about all along and as Mike and I predicted.

The 35k Tesla (before incentives) is now here. Puts your price after tax credits at 31k. So there's you're affordable Tesla. For 2k more you can extend the range and get an upgraded interior.

Model S prices have dropped steadily while GM has been raising theirs. My P100d Ludacris was 155k. Now the same car is 122k. A CTS-V is over 100k new with options and is slower, RWD, no screen, no autopilot, less range on a tank.

Everything we've been talking about in this thread and me saying WTF can't you guys see the trajectory is happened exactly as predicted.

Peak charge speed on the Model 3 is 25% faster than model S do to traveling farther per KW. You can now add 90 miles in 10 minutes which is much better than the S/X. Tesla continues to go farther per mile on a KW enabling smaller batteries which means less energy needed to be added. Blows holes in the nay sayers talking about too much draw and all that.

=Go ahead with your 'yeah but' sickmint or other nay sayers. I'm sure whatever you say will AGAIN ignore how fast this tech is advancing and you'll act like a snapshot of today is where we'll be in a year.

Where are we going to be in a year?

The only thing I do not like about Tesla’s pricing is that there is no rhyme or reason to it. Yesterday if I bought auto pilot it would have been 7,000 dollars after the purchase of the car if I did not add it on at the time of sale.

Today it’s 4,000 dollars. (Slightly less features on the base auto pilot) no self park or summon. But I wouldn’t use those. So in 1 day I could have saved 3,000 dollars. That stuff pisses people off.

 

[Yaj Yak]

The summon feature is badass.

 

[Gone_2022]

It’s badass.... but really just a gimmick right now. It’s on my car and I’ve used it once to make my friends 5 year old son giggle. It takes forever to activate, the car moves super slow and it got confused a few times trying to exit my garage.

I’m sure it will get better, but it’s just a fun play toy for people to boast about right now.

When it was -30* out and I was wandering to my car in a hoodie when i got back from florida, in the parking garage at Ohare last month, I think it would have been better than a gimmick

It only backs the car out of the parking space and parks it in the parking space. It does not bring the car to you yet FYI. So you still would have had to walk all the way to the car in the cold. The car does not drive around without you.

[Gone_2022]

ROFL. Trust me I wish it would park itself and leave the parking space and come get me. They are trying to get it to that point.

If and whenever it gets to that point fuuuuuuuuu take my money all day everyday.

 

[Yaj Yak]

Well maybe in a year we will be there.

 

[Gone_2022]

They are trying, I think some regulations are standing in the way though. The government hasn't been super receptive to cars driving themselves around in parking lots to date ROFL.

 

[Yaj Yak]

Seems safer than them driving themselves at high speeds on the highway.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

There are less people walking around on highways. lol



I'm not sure I want my car wandering around parking lots. It's going to be like China where people jump in front of cars to get hit and get money. Tesla better offer up all info the car has showing the person jumped into the car and not the car being at fault. lol

 

[Yaj Yak]

More deer though.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

Do you think there is more deer running across highways than people in parking lots? Come on now haha

The whole car driving on its own still is unsettling to me. I have yet to be in a car with a self-driving type mode. It's probably better than most, if not all, drivers. But it's that whole control thing.

 

[Yaj Yak]

No, I never said that.

I said more deer though,

to you saying:

There are less people walking around on highways. lol

meaning, more deer on highways than people.

Where are we going to be in a year?

Pretty much the same place in terms of market share. I'm guessing that the F150 being the top selling vehicle will be a safe bet, but who knows. Stuff is advancing so quick....

 

[Yaj Yak]

I kinda wish he'd have answered me.

 

[Eagle]

I'm strongly considering one of these 35k models w/the 2k upgrades.

 

[MikeyLikesIt]

Is the signature panel tall enough?

 

[Yaj Yak]

I'm strongly considering one of these 35k models w/the 2k upgrades.

which upgrades?

 

[Yaj Yak]

like... a different color?

that's the only $2,000 upgrade im seeing on the $35k models.

 

[Yaj Yak]

and also... [MENTION=340]Eagle[/MENTION] buying a barebones anything?

 

[EmersonHart13]

[MENTION=340]Eagle[/MENTION] needs something that makes vroom vroom noises and leaves long black tracks on the pavement right meow
