Instead of parking lots, we will have parking less 😂

Pick up at the Factory is a SUPER IDEA! I did that for my Corvette and it was Super! I was escorted around the factory to watch Corvettes assembled, my name was in LIGHTS upon entering the Plant then went to the Corvette Museum where after that tour, I picked up my new Vette and drove it home! It was Colossal! I would fly from Fla to say Texas, pick up my new Juniper and drive home! How COOL would that be!!

13:30 regarding the roadster: As I understand it, the idea for roadster 2 was to create the fastest production car in the world with crazy acceleration and highway range. But when they developed the new motor and tested it in the Model S, it turned out to be waay more cool to have a sporty, stylish family sedan with those capabilities. Way less development cost and suitable for a much larger audience. The S Plaid already did what a Roadster would have offered - minus a fiddly convertible top, little storage, only two seats and less practical use. The roadster 2 would have been a costly flagship product, while the Plaid easily generated revenue and being the flagship product at the same time. So they decided for the future of cheaper Sporty EVs for the masses instead of a niche product. I really like that decision! Let others do the niche lifestyle products for the rich.

I’ve been a loyal viewer of your channel for years, and I wanted to take a moment to thank you both for your dedication to educating and inspiring fans like me about Tesla, SpaceX, and the broader push toward a sustainable future. Your passion and deep dives into these topics have been an incredible resource, even before I had the chance to own a Tesla myself.

For context, I’m 49, and my father (74) has been driving a Tesla Model S since early 2018. Whenever we talk about Tesla, he often points out that I seem to know far more about the cars than he does—knowledge I credit largely to your channel! Until last weekend, though, I had only experienced Tesla ownership secondhand through him when we're visiting one another (we live in different states).

That changed recently when I bought a used 2021 Model 3, and I can finally have first-hand experience with the car and its amazing tech. It’s been an exciting journey, and your years of insights have given me a deeper appreciation for Tesla and EVs as a whole. Your work has made this transition even more rewarding.

Thank you for what you do—it truly makes a difference!

Elon wants Trump to get rid of the EV tax credit, why would he complain about the tesla exclusion in California?

The Cybertruck in Zurich belongs to the company of a guy in Switzerland who bought it in the US and had it shipped to Europe. He is now working towards having it certified in Switzerland. Its a Foundation series and he gets all software updated incl. FSD. He cannot use FSD though, since the navigation maps are the US ones. He made a presentation for us at the TOCH (Tesla Owners Helvetia) Club. There are Youtube videos showing it driving in Swiss mountain passes: the 4-wheel steering is fabulous there.

You guys complain about favoritism to Rivian, but have blinders on when the exact same thing happens to Tesla.

Great to see Joe Tegtmeyer on your show! If only to show off a new Supercharger V4!

[JeffreyFate]

Excited to try v13 - got it this morning

The prospect of your Neuralink-controlled cybernetic body getting hacked and carrying out the orders of an adversarial agent while you are locked in and can only passively observe in horror. What a game changer.

After that “it’s alive”, young man, you are hereby formally remanded to see the movie Young Frankenstein with Gene Wilder from start to finish.

A note on the doors is that a regular car you don't have to open the door all the way to get out sometimes

50:10 …but Elon does the same thing. He frequently posts or reposts things that are demonstrably false. His original post gets 10s of millions of views, while any corrections/community notes get 10s of thousands of views. The lies always get more views than the corrections. He can then say that he’s being truthful in the correction while the lie has many magnitudes greater influence.

The Lease Buyout 26:48 is what I was told when I purchased my new Model 3 yesterday. I can pay the lease amount monthly - which is cheaper than financing - and then when the lease ends, I can get a loan from the bank to pay off the remainder. By then, I think interest rates will be lower, so it may be the cheapest monthly option overall.

LOL, California is NOT the envy of the world.

[timojissink]

Instead of picking up your Tesla at the factory (to reduce costs) Tesla should now be able to FSD to your house with V13.
The FSD take rates would skyrocket 🤩

I asked a Tesla representative how they got the Cybercab into the Tyson's Corner showroom. She said they controlled it on the app, and then said they did a couple of smart summons to get it in place.

[brucehamilton]

What's wrong with you guys? Can Elon do no wrong??

OK we forget the reason the incentives were put in place in the beginning. It was to assist the adoption of Evies and to encourage manufacturers to do so. Tesla was the biggest beneficiary of these subsidies. The company is a lot stronger than other EV manufactures. So here is the question does Tesla need incentives to be successful, probably not. Do other automobile manufacturers need subsidies to help encourage them to build Evies, probably.

HW3 is being left behind. So will Tesla make good on my $10, 000 investment in FSD and upgrade my Model Y? Been Beta testing for Tesla since 2019 and it been an adventure to say the least. So, will all of us Beta testers get upgraded to AI4? Musk could pay for it from his extraordinary wealth. It would be a rounding error for him.
