@DavidSvendsen @Tesla Live up to how? By selling ~30x the vehicles? Cause they're already doing that. When the 6 seater Y comes to the US it would have ended up cannibalizing X sales dropping volume even more.

@Tesla The 3 & Y will never live up to this. And no robot, no matter how advanced, will have been be worth ending these models. Biggest mistake in Tesla's history.

The legacy of Model S & X will live on in our vision for autonomy

I've said this 10 times, if they actually delivered the 500+mi range initially advertised I would have bought one already at whatever price. So it's not necessarily just the price. And at $70k with limited towing capacity, it's just a real bummer... There's just not an attractive variant all things considered for lots of people at the moment.

I've said it 10 tens, the only limiting factor is the price. People want it, hence 2M reservations, it's not the design, the reservations were after a design reveal. The success of the $60k AWD LR trim shows people are just waiting and willing, keep that price low and features constant sales will soar.

Hard to say for sure, but production of the $59K AWD @Cybertruck may be just getting started here on this early and soggy morning at Giga Texas … this version is much harder to visually distinguish from the premium AWD versions, so I’ll come back on Wednesday and we’ll see if this is in fact happening. I hope so as there are many new Cybertruck owners eager to get their truck! Cybercab production is also proceeding slowly as @Tesla told us it would be early on, but there are still dozens of new Cybercabs in the outbound lot today. I hope we start seeing more of these soon & perhaps introduction into the @robotaxi fleet soon. I (along with many others) want to give them a try!

It's not just About feasibility, it's about the excess batteries needed to support the system. You would need so many more batteries when there's just not enough to go around for vehicles, energy storage, future Optimus bots. Maybe in 10 years when there's more someone can make the economics work but by then there should be enough semi chargers that it will make even less sense.

@MasterofSnor @niccruzpatane @elonmusk I'm just thinking, a trucker isn't going to want to go much more than 500 miles without hopping out. They can do it like a Tesla diner truck stop. Get some food, a battery change and take a leak. Ready for the next 500 miles haha. Maybe not feasible but who knows.

This is the sound of the all-electric Tesla Semi. Deliveries of the new Production Version begin this year: • Long Range model has 500 miles of range with a full payload. • 1.7 kWh per mile efficiency (average diesel semis are roughly 5–7 kWh per mile equivalent energy use). • Tri-motor powertrain with 800 kW of power (~1,073 hp), 3x the power of the average diesel semi. • The battery in the Semi is designed to last 1M miles. • Standard Range model (325 mi) has a similar turning radius as a Tesla Model 3/Y. • 0.4 drag coefficient. • Independent truckers are able to buy a Semi for use, not just fleet owners. • Semi fleet uptime is at 95% due to extremely low maintenance and reliability. • Integrated safety features in the Semi protect not just the driver but others on the road as well. • Future wireless charging. • Semi uses the same 4680 battery cells found in the Cybertruck. • Semi can power a whole refrigeration trailer or any powered unit. The technology is shared with Cybertruck Powershare.

@thc_btc @Brand0n @SawyerMerritt 💯 I make sure to say this every time. FSD lite = less safe otherwise no reason for non-lite FSD. Thus lite is BS and will just lead to a massive class action lawsuit.

Tesla is now accepting questions for their Q1 earnings call next week. Submit: app.saytechnologies.com/tesla-2026-q1

@Brand0n @SawyerMerritt v14 lite is BS. It's FSD as safe as the full version or nothing. And if it's just as safe and functional but runs with less resources then there's no need for a non-lite version.

@SawyerMerritt Top question should be if V14 Lite is still coming Q2

@SawyerMerritt Just added a handful of upvotes across multiple topics...

@TeslaGong @SawyerMerritt Definitely tough as you can't please everyone. I have white now but am into the more integrated coloring of the grey. And don't mind it vs the white at all.

@SawyerMerritt I maybe in the minority. But I think it looks very meh ! 🫤 The white has a far more premium look.

Tesla has released a video of the new Zen Grey interior from Giga Shanghai built Model Y Premium trims. The White interior has been discontinued. With Zen Grey, the following trim pieces are no longer black like they were in the white interior: • Arm rests • Door grab handles • Center console arm rest & side console trim • Trim around wireless charging area

@GaryClarke27 @SawyerMerritt Shiny seats? Tell me you've never been in a Tesla or a 3 year old Lexus or BMW without telling me.

@SawyerMerritt A shame Tesla refuses to offer more luxury options like natural leather. Tesla builds great cars but the shiny plastic seats put me off buying one. Tesla could learn a lesson from the like of BMW and Mercedes who are masters at offering very tempting very profitable options.

@NotAvgLiberal Yeah I'd give 'em my two cents

Question for Liberals - (Trying to prove a point) If you had a MAGA family member, Who constantly pushed their MAGA ideology on you, Who referred to you with the usual MAGA rhetoric of being a “Libtard” “Woke” “Soyboy” (Just to name a few) Now that same MAGA family member needed financial help… Would you help them?

Honestly if they hit 500 mile range in a truck or SUV that can tow 10k plus then it's perfect. I understand very well that my 270 mi range MYP is more than enough for my lifestyle for 95% of the time, but that 5% that it doesn't work completely kills any potential cost savings as I'd need to rent another vehicle for specific things. It's not impossible to do, it would just likely be expensive, but people will pay. I didn't not buy a Cybertruck because it was more than they initially said it would be, I didn't buy it because the range isn't enough so no sense in upgrading (and no bench seat in the front haha, but that's another issue)

@cybrtrkguy Right there with ya man. So many people pander saying you don’t need more range. When you use a truck as a truck and not just a large SUV range is critical. 400mi highway range is about perfect.

> Left home with 92% > Drove 233 miles > Required charge of 38 minutes in the middle of the trip. > Not towing I need more range. There is no other option. That is ridiculous.

@riot_nylon @sagewilyam @JohPersso @01Rizz @JackPosobiec That's a nice cope there buddy, but your bible disagrees with you...

@ThinkTankExile @sagewilyam @JohPersso @01Rizz @JackPosobiec Hell isn't a place of fire, it's the absence of God. If God is love, the punishment is the absence of that love. It isn't for making a mistake, it's for knowing the difference & deliberately making that choice, You chose to leave God. Satan means "accuser" &tests perseverance.

This is what they took from us

Absolutely, what happened to the 500+mi trim!? If they were actually able to deliver that, I would have bought one, all other issues aside. But essentially the only tow vehicle option at the moment in the EV space is the R1T, but who wants to deal with worse software and no FSD...

@salajm @ZacksJerryRig @Tesla_AI They're not mad about progress, they're mad because they were lied to and this is just another reminder of that.

@ZacksJerryRig @Tesla_AI yes, we should ban progress so nobody ever will feel bad

AI5

@sagewilyam @JohPersso @01Rizz @JackPosobiec Because it hurts his feewings

@JohPersso @01Rizz @JackPosobiec Why is the take bad?

The US is officially a Triumvirate- Bibi, Vlad and Kid Rock

Definitely funny, but we went on a 9k mile road trip in 2021 and we were fine. A couple points where I would have appreciated a supercharger but no issues at all. Even got some free charging at some of the hotels we stayed at, and charged for "free" at some friends' places too. And this was 4.5 years ago, and we didn't even have the nema 14-50 adapter, only the regular 110v.

Tesla Supercharger energy delivered is growing exponentially

@KeyOn_M6 @greggertruck Starting "around" 😆 "Around" pretty rarely means at or less than when it comes to pricing.

@greggertruck It's still there, coming late 2027.

wow. Rivian completely axed the $45k R2 before they ever delivered any.

@Beyond_Scarcity @SawyerMerritt I also would love this, but they're just going to sell the Model Y L and skip this category it seems. Disappointing for sure. I'd love to see a full sized SUV that had a tow rating over 10k lbs.

@SawyerMerritt I really would love an SUV. I think big families would jump at the idea.

NEWS: The Tesla Model X appears to be sold out across the U.S. All that's left in existing inventory are some demo units.

@Christallamark1 @teslacarsonly @elonmusk Or, hear me out...she gets an Uber for the 10 times she needs to drive around every month, and saves money overall.

@teslacarsonly @elonmusk Yes ❤️ wonderful older people will have wings and get independence back

FSD 14.3 is in Tesla employee beta now and will probably go to wide release end of week

@KellyERoach1 @teslacarsonly @elonmusk She doesn't 😆 that's definitely the problem here. It's fun until she gets t-boned when it runs a red.

@teslacarsonly @elonmusk How does a grandma grab the wheel and put her foot on the brakes in an emergency quickly?
