@stayfreeCanada2 You’ve also described every young US generation for countless decades here. Yes, boomers also. The DIFFERENCE is capitalism pays off mid life in the USA, with the right mindset… …whereas in socialist countries it doesn’t.

Standard now means >300 miles of range. People do not appreciate the significance of this.

this was the vision for the product line from the very beginning

Scott Adams goes off on Bernie Sanders (Graphic Language warning) for referring to military and government service members missing their pay as “leverage.” @ScottAdamsSays “Imagine this clown being your President. This is the opposite of reading a room. How can you read a room

If history is any guide, this won't see volume production until 2030 at the earliest, and it will be considerably more expensive than a conventional lithium ion battery pack. But by then, Robotaxis are going to be flooding the market. If the car is driving itself, it doesn't

Some Standard Model thoughts: 1. Model Y will upsell Premium models (decoy effect) 2. Model 3 will sell more in quantity (value anchor) $TSLA

So many product positioning , design, and pricing experts for Tesla to choose from.

Guys, the EV price level in the U.S. was artificially reduced via the tax credit. Of course, all EVs now cost more. So get used to it and move on. Your choice is to go back to ICE vehicles and pay an arm and a leg during your ownership for gas and maintenance or do the smart

Many will buy Model 3 Standard but I'm finding it hard to see anyone wanting Model Y with a wet frunk, no glass roof and an open console. Many will research $TSLA vehicles now that Model Y starts under $40K but most will pony up the extra $5K for creature comforts. Decoy Effect

My honest take: It’s good that Tesla now offers a Model 3 and Y for under 40k that they can sell profitably. This is extremely important given no more tax credit. A lot of people don’t care about premium features, and price alone is main driver. Unlike CT, the model 3/Y are

Trying to understand the logic in this timeline… 1. We thought we knew what it would be and had seen the leak (Model Y, no glass roof, etc) 2. Tesla posted a spinning wheel cover 3. People started speculating about VTOL, drones, fans and leafblowers 4. Turns out it’s not

In March 2016, Elon unveiled the Tesla Model 3, promising an affordable electric vehicle starting at $35,000. @Tesla When adjusted for inflation, that original target equates to approximately $47,617 in today's dollars. Yet, Tesla has significantly overdelivered on this

Taxes. We pay taxes. And it’s not unreasonable to ask that our tax dollars are used to help us, instead of given away to billionaires and corporations as tax breaks and subsidies to increase their wealth and pad their profits.

Tesla did not overhype this They barely hyped it at all

Every other luxury legacy auto company: “We are going to charge $10K for upgraded seats, a panoramic roof, ambient lighting, premium sound, and a quieter ride.” Some Folks: “Cool, cool.” Tesla : “We are going to charge $5K for upgraded seats, a panoramic roof, ambient lighting,

People are not going to believe me when I say this, but my favorite part of the standard Model Y is this right here - the fold down center seat with cup holders. It’s such a small detail, but it perfectly captures Tesla’s DNA. Despite being a massive $1.4 trillion successful

Prediction: Standard Model 3 & Y will be the cheapest vehicles Tesla will ever sell that have steering wheels and pedals. If you want cheaper, it's gonna be Cybercab.

The new Models 3 and Y Standard will compete directly with these cars: - Honda Accord (EX trim) $36,500 - Toyota Camry (LE Hybrid) $37,200 - Mazda CX-5 (Select trim) $36,800 - Honda CR-V (EX-L) $37,000 - Ford Maverick (XLT Hybrid AWD) $36,900 - Ford Mustang (EcoBoost)

A key Democrat shutdown demand is hundreds of billions more for Obamacare. Healthcare lobbyists created this monster, turning the ACA into a trillion-dollar money hole that wiped out almost half of independent doctors.

When liberal activist judges bend the rules, they open the floodgates for unfair lawsuits that crush small businesses and stall growth. Instead of focusing on justice, these rulings push political agendas — clogging courts, wasting taxpayer money, and forcing small business
