Can someone photoshop a mask over the kidney grill / nostrils. That could actually work and send a message too. :D.

Tesla just updated the range of Model Y to 326 miles. They’re pulling ahead from the competition every-time at least in range and performance metrics.

Apparently the ID 4 will come with free three years worth of charging from Electrify America, which makes it way more palatable for many. What a great way to break into the market. Reminds me of what Tesla had done in its Model S days to gain market share. Are there are comapritive charts...

Will it come with fake smoke from fake exhaust pipes too? Fake engine sound is the stupidest idea, such as earliest ICE cars wanting to emulate horse's sounds.

Good. You talk like a real car enthusiast. :D. Doesn’t matter whatever happens elsewhere. It reminds me of a situation in one of the African countries where there was intense famine going on and people were dying of hunger and on the other side of same country, the rich were holding motorsports...

If Ford decides to build their batteries and cars in USA (like Tesla does) we won’t even have this conversation. They chose to go the cheaper way, outsourcing everything, so now they got to face the taxes. Are you happy that the other countries are getting the work done (and getting the...

It’s a very narrow minded view which misses the big picture. If you allow state funded companies to sell in US freely, that would render all local automakers uncompetitive and bankrupt. Overtime, the Chinese cars will be the only one in game. Then they can charge whatever they want since they...

I’d like to believe you, but how are dealerships able to offer $5-10k discounts for a $50k car (that is not at all an exaggeration) if their profit margins are only $2000. From what I heard about the higher priced trucks from GM / Ford, the manufacturer makes about 50% profit of the final price...

Add the cost of doing business with dealerships to that. I understand that with MME Ford gives a possibility of dealerships sticking to MSRP, somehow I feel that the MSRP already includes the dealership fees/ profit share. Pure online retailers such as Rivian, Tesla and others are going to make...

Exactly.

All the more reasons that the dealership will tend not to reveal the final price before the order is placed. There’s a financial incentive for them not to stick with MSRP since if they get to keep the vehicle they can sell it at whatever price they want (there won’t be any dearth of customers...

I totally understand your point, but I’m just being the devil’s advocate here. Tesla owns its battery production facilities and is potentially able to make them much cheaper than the competitors (and they seem to be innovating continuously). They don’t have to sell through dealerships saving...

Why do you think, Tesla will become the minority EV automaker? None of the OEMs (sans Ford with this one) have produced a competitive EV so far, and even those which are due to be unveiled soon (eg: Rivian) are much more expensive compared to a Tesla. From what I hear, their market share seems...

I believe the starting price mentioned previously (of $60K) was for the earlier announced version with range of 240 miles. Since then they have more than doubled that range, and I doubt the price will stay the same at these specs. I'm counting north of $100k easily. In anywise, it's fantastic...

That is as absurd as using a wind energy turbine to capture the energy in wind created by a large electric fan. That’s basic physics.

All this talk about AWD and True 4 WD will be redundant when vehicles with 4 motors enter the field (such as Rivian, and other pick ups). There won’t be a question (or even discussion) about which system is superior in any particular situation as an independent motor at each wheel is the epitome...

Whatever it is, still sad to know that a groundbreaking American car is not made in USA but imported to it.
