Tesla Talk 2

Yes the only thing that makes sense to me is to create a single app that does it all. Pretty much all phone and video calls, all emails, all messaging, all sharing, all payments, all streaming, all social media, all online shopping, all deliveries. One app that does everything. Like they have WeChat in China. If you got a few billion people to exclusively use that, would be an extremely powerful and profitable business

Marques Brownlee does a comparison between Waymo and Tesla taxis in Austin

Basically both are only at the start of the curve and need a lot of improvement and Waymo is a bit ahead when it comes to the user experience. And Tesla still has the safety person in the car

That said, Waymo has been around as a taxi for nearly 7 years. Tesla just a few months…

It's a mistake to believe robotaxis - from whatever manufacturer - will never crash or should not be allowed until they are proven to never cause any issues. The only thing we need here is for them to be proven safer than humans. They will kill people. It is inevitable.

Its a view…but not sure everyone would believe in what yu beleive to be the end goal of the necessity for cars to communicate with the road and how scalable and cost effectove that would be for mass market road usage

NI. I could tell you how much, but then I would have to kill you 😂

Removed frunk, topped up coolant with G48, checked 12V battery, got tyres done, booked in for brakes in the morning, Tesla service booked for tomorrow to replace the main battery fuse. The car won the battery lottery as it was originally an 85D, but Tesla fitted a brand new 90D battery. They normally only ever fit reconditioned batteries, but they must have run out. Sunroof not working, but I am not getting that fixed - it is not leaking. 129k miles on the clock. CCS upgrade done. Black, good spec, don't know yet if it has 11kW or 22kW AC charging. It was still showing 220km range after my 160km trip back from NI, so battery is very good

On Irish plates the weekend after next, then NCT - it should get 2 full years NCT as the car is from 2016. Then I'll put it up for sale. It should easily be the cheapest Model S for sale in Ireland that doesn't have any major issues

Anyone interested, PM me

I'd have to start one several times a year if I did that again 😂 I thought I might as well post in here as it's a Tesla this time. Not a motorbike or a micro car or a nano car or a van or a scooter or a bike. Or a former diesel car. Just an EV 😂

Mmmh, I haven't done an electric boat yet. Must put that on the list of things to do…

Has anybody heard any more about the model 2/Q/Redwood that was due for deliveries in 2025 (this year)

Feels like the deadline might get missed

There's a few of those websites out there yeah. Nothing concrete from Tesla themselves though

…..

that won’t be remembered when people post the Aug UK deliveries :)

There’s been an incredible amount of insider selling resently - from Kimball M, Murdock, senior exec’s, directors, CFO etc - apparently they’ve sold down over 50% of their combined shares.

Absolutely no one buying. For momentum stocks like Tesla, it’s hugely telling.

There’s infinite reasons why someone sells shares, but almost no positive reason for the share price for them to sell so much, and for no one to be buying.

discounted lease deals in the UK seem to be the norm from BMW to Audi to Mercedes, pity we cant avail of these deals here.

yep have often look jealously at threads on pistonheads and similar with some ridiculous lease deals on some very nice performance motors in the UK, VW especially from what i can recall, guess its too small a market here.

Suspect that headline £300 also includes an upfront payment and the term may well be 36 months as opposed to 60. Without the specifics its difficult to form a view

Depending on the upfront lump, I suppose it’s about €1k pa better than buying outright, in an Irish context, and obviously if you’re a business it makes it a no-brainer, but it’s possibly no better than we’d pay here, even with this big drop.

It makes the previous £700 lease a pretty awful deal.
