Tesla successes

Nope, that's 0ver 6,500 stations with more than 60,000 individual plugs around the globe.

Take this page for a ride.

Zoom in, then hit that spot on Google Earth. Bet you will find a Supercharger everywhere they say. Barring instances where the station is new and Google street view is old. Shouldn't happen to often though. I'll grab two at random

I like how North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska have just enough stations located on only one highway to ensure you can drive through their state as long as you don't leave the highway. Literally, someone had to sit down and say "what are the absolute fewest stations we can possible put here and still claim it's technically possible to drive through the state"

I mean you place them where the cars sell. Other than that, you place them so people passing through.

Pretty successful at scamming people out of $10k making them think their car would drive itself fully.

If they don't, Tesla's gonna cover the hardware upgrade for free, so its not a huge deal.

Well except for the fact how long ago did these people pay for a service they thought would be ready much sooner? Wonder how many still have that vehicle. Pretty stupid to pay for a service that doesn't exist yet on an asset that has a finite life.

Well, you buy beta, you get beta. I would buy it, even if it never achieves true level 5. Where its at right now would be fine with me, but it will keep getting better. But that's me.

Related, they plan on some unsupervised Model 3s and Ys to be running in Texas and FL next summer. And people mocked the Cybercab, but I really think its going to be a thing. Like the Semi, fleets care about cost. And its pretty hard to even think about competing with this thing on up front cost and cost per mile. Two years from now I think it will be where Energy is now, just becoming apparent as a huge profit center. Waymo pays like $150k per individual cab. That's maybe 6 of these.

Personally I don't want autonomous driving cars on the road, but really don't want half the people out there on the road either.

Until the DMV allows someone to be blind staggering drunk and let the vehicle drive you home, without getting a DUI, self-driving anything is just plain BULLSH*T!

Merry Christmas!

2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance: Full Rating Results

Tesla completely overhauled the Model 3 for 2024, paying special attention to the hotrod Performance model. Here's our comprehensive evaluation, which encompasses everything from track testing to everyday driving.

www.edmunds.com

Overall rating: 8.4
The Model 3 Performance is incredibly quick. But we're just as impressed with what else it offers. There's more than 300 miles of Edmunds Tested range, a quiet cabin, and nimble handling that doesn't come at the expense of ride comfort. The Performance still suffers from some quirks that all Model 3s have but overall it's a heck of a deal.

As Teslas number two seller, the Model 3 refresh has been a huge hit. And the number one seller gets similar refresh in early to mid 2025. And the mill says the "more affordable models" are likely decongested versions of these two very popular models. A true 30k Model 3 and 35k Model Y would sell even more like hotcakes.
