There are a lot of leaks right now regarding Rivian's R2 specs and pricing, and if they are true, Rivian has a killer product in its hands. It will dominate the higher-end of the midsize SUV segment. It will badly hurt Tesla's "Premium Model Y".

I’m currently in Tulum testing the BYD Shark. I increasingly feel like this vehicle and others like it, PHEV pickup with decent all-electric range, could be the missing link to help boost EV adoption n the pickup-hungry US market, which is being left behind the rest of the world in electrification

I think Tesla has become a complete meme stock, and its value almost entirely hinges on people believing Elon Musk is a super genius and not a compulsive liar despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Even the most pessimistic analysts didn't expect 336k deliveries - 50,000 units fewer than last year. The giant miss would point to especially bad performance in the US since we have pretty good visibility in Europe and China.

The biggest irony is that Musk was pushing those baseless claims of people getting paid to attend Tesla protests, while he was himself at a rally he organized to promote the Republican Candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court where he was financially incentivizing people to attend.

Well, this explains how X's bank valuation went so quickly from ~$12B in 2024 back to ~$44B last month. Musk had made the xAI offer, increasing the valuation. Between SolarCity, his Tesla CEO compensation plan, and this, Musk is a master of negotiating with himself.

This should be a clear message to Tesla's shareholders and board $TSLA. Without Musk, Tesla would fair much better in the US. It's important to note that the majority of respondents in this survey reported being moderate or conservative.

This is what I've been fearing for years and more so following the giant wave of layoffs earlier this year. Elon is only keeping and promoting ultra-loyalists at Tesla. Here we have Tesla's newly promoted VP of self-driving and AI calling a judge corrupt for simply following the law. It's madness

It was just a few years ago when Tesla was lobbying for this tax credit. Now that Elon doesn't want it as he is willing to slow down the entire US EV industry in favor of Tesla coming on top in a few years, it's also Tesla's policy It goes directly against the mission. Sad day.

Should Tesla offer the ability to revert to older FSD versions? I vote yes. I'm having the worst time on v12.5.4.2, and .1 felt better. The limited (but best available) data also points to the older version being better. It just veered into the shoulder when trying to take an exit. First for me.
