Tesla value kills Ferrari + Model 3 front looks better
@brandontsla
I've owned a Model 3 before and if you browse my timeline, you will see I'm super excited about the new M3P.
However, it's utterly silly to compare it to a V12 naturally-aspirated 9500 redline Ferrari, especially from a value perspective. Diff planets..
@ogre_codes
lol what?! Yes, no one gives a shit about practicality and value when it comes to exotic cars like Ferraris. Because if I can afford a Ferrari, I can also afford any other practical car.
The point is that this comparison of Tesla vs Ferrari is asinine on many levels!
As the demand increased, Tesla has removed the following:
Nema 14-50 adapter
Frunk carpet mat
7 day return policy
$250 order fee instead of deposit
1 year free premium connectivity
Pass. lumbar adjustment
Free supercharging referrals
Mobile connector
What’s next?

Tesla’s EPA 400 miles range on the highway at 75-80 mph is around 300 miles or less especially in the winters. This is why people want 500 mile range Teslas.

5 months after removing USS, here's the terrible "Tesla Vision" update for park assist. What an absolute joke!
If there's heavy snow, it looks like it'll collect on the bumper and block the headlights on the Cybertruck.
I've never lived in a snowy climate so I've no idea, my brother who has lived in Canada for 15 yrs thought so too, especially if it's slushy icy conditions. Thoughts?
Rivian R1T dominates off-road! This was just a dual motor on street tires, not even quad motor.
Cybertruck performed the worse in this MotorTrend comparo even though it was the only with all-terrain tires.
F150 Lightning, even with low ground clearance, comes in 2nd.
1/
Expect charges for mobile service, premium connectivity plans w/ diff data limits, new software features etc..it’s just getting started.
What’s odd is that they are doing financially better than ever before and yet they are penny-pinching like they are about to go bankrupt.
Some tesla fans continue to struggle with concept of making sensible comparisons.
The ford fusion has been discontinued and it was $75k cheaper than a model S.
A more appropriate comparison would be Model Y vs. the Mustang Mach E.
@Rivian
What’s the point of “pre-ordering” if you can raise the price anytime?!! I was on the fence about ordering one but definitely not happening now.
@RJScaringe
Remember when Rivian hiked prices on existing reservation holders? People were pissed!
What did Rivian do? They made it right, apologized and backtracked in 2 days.
What will Tesla do? Nothing, because cult.

We need
@CommunityNotes
to restate the disclaimer because most won't read it in the tiny text.
HANDS-ON REQUIREMENT WAS DISABLED (CUSTOMER CANNOT DISABLE THIS FEATURE). NOT TRUE DEMO OF FSD.
Of all the great features that Tesla added in the new Model 3, I can't believe there's still no V2L functionality or even just a simple 110v outlet.
The addition of the 65W USB-C port is great but not enough.
I think yesterday was a good reminder why we shouldn't have one company running the nation's major DCFC.
If EVS are to succeed in the US, we need a lot more competition in the charging space.
What’s Tesla hiding in the blue outlined box?
Spare tire?
Part of the sub-trunk?
Part of the trailer hitch (usually hitches don’t take up that much space though)?
It’s plastic too, it’s bound to get banged up offroad.

I chuckle when people still don't understand BlueCruise is just the hands-free option. Ford's adaptive cruise with lane centering works everywhere just like Tesla's Autopilot.
Tesla has exactly zero hands-free coverage at the moment.
My Mom has now owned her 2022 Model Y Long Range for 2 years.
16,500 miles on the car. She’s visited a Tesla service center zero times and says reliability has been good.
Only maintenance has been a flat tire and some windshield washer fluid. 95% of the time she charges at
I agree, however, I think F150 Lightning will also have a big impact on the perception of EV trucks in the short term since it will be out in a couple of months. F150 is familiar & has heritage, it will play a major role in “normalizing” EVs for many in commercial & personal use.
I still regularly hear surprised reactions when people learn my car takes no gas.
When Cybertrucks start taking over the road, interest and demand is going to explode even more. Even if someone doesn't want the Cybertruck, they'll learn of Tesla and want in.
This is the main reason I reserved the cybertruck. I have very low self-esteem and even lower social skills so it's very important for me to have a truck that really stands out and attracts maximum attention. It will truly change my life.
#ThanksElon
and by the way everyone who sees it in person will be absolutely mesmerized. They’ll go home and talk about it, tell their family about it.
With the F-150 Lightning, most people won’t even notice they saw an electric truck at all.
@ijustine
Yes, and 360 view and even rear cross traffic alert are also missing. Tesla is obsessed with autonomous driving so they are not putting much focus on human driver’s experience.
Even my $45k low tech Toyota Tacoma has these features. Super helpful when parking.
@rohanspatel
So are you communicating these additional tests that Tesla is doing to the regulatory bodies? There's potential here to improve the crash test performance of all cars and save more lives.

I don't understand the point of titanium if it's just the exterior rim. With the iPhone 14 pro, the whole frame being stainless steel, at least added to the durability.
Also glass backs are dumb, bring back plastics!

@elonmusk
Cherry picking and poor comparisons. The fanboys are getting desperate. Sad.
The correct comparison is the Ford Mustang Mach E which starts around $44k vs the Model Y at $63k.

He’s used to make good videos back in the day but then he said he hired some people and was gonna do YouTube full time. That’s basically when it all went downhill. He outright admits he clickbaits and convinced himself it’s perfectly acceptable. I unsubbed long ago.
Tesla claims to do all this internal safety testing before releases yet there's still dangerous stuff like this.

Here is a highlight clip from my Supervised FSD v12.3.6 full length video that shows several Autopark scenarios. Please watch the whole clip, several things happen I didn't expect. Enjoy.

2 important items missing here.
1. Cargo hauling capacity for each. Calcs should cost/miles/kg
2. Charing isn't 100% efficient, need to account for heat losses.
@dan2ombie
The $9k and $13k price increase on the Model 3 SR+ and Model Y LR AWD respectively should be more than enough cover the updates. This is confirmed by their rising ~30% automotive gross margins.

@GerberKawasaki
R1T is bigger than the avg mid-size truck and Cybertruck is smaller than full-size trucks.
R1T is closer to Cybertruck in dimensions than Cybertruck is to F150. Plus R1T and Cybertruck weigh almost the same. It's a fair comparison especially when it comes to range.

Here's an almost 15 year old F-150 doing it with ease.
Cybertruck is a testing prototype so no point in judging too harshly just yet, they are still tweaking things.
@SpeedSportLife
How come everyone immediately counts every pedestrian injury/death as the driver's fault? Can't tell you how many times I have people crossing the street with their face stuffed in their phones!
No sir, no one wants steer by wire in a 911 or any sports car for that matter. It's a good feature for big trucks or daily boring cars (appliances) only.
It's obvious Tesla engineers are engineers first and car guys second.

Let's continue your game - think about this answer: Would you consider the 911 an Iconic car?
I'd say so and there's more than 1.2M on the road. My opinion, but I think CT has Icon staying power. I've personally lived with Cybertruck day in and

In reality, the effective monthly payment ends up being ~$523/month for just 10k miles/year, after taxes, fees, and including amount due at signing.
Of course, gas savings could be good depending on your charging situation.
@Tesla
This is not a demo of the product the customer actually gets, disabling hands-on requirement is extremely deceptive!

pretends to hate advertising because it's deceptive at times but you have been doing the same thing with FSD for years!!

I think most people meant length wise it looked too small but it’s hard to tell if you don’t know the details of the bike.
Otherwise, even a Maverick can hold 5 bikes on the tailgate pad in its 4.5 ft bed.
Carwow's full driving review is out.
During the drive, I was distracted by the ambient lighting strip reflection on the windshield. How does this get past testing? Looks like a massive crack!

As more real world Cybertruck tests come out, I continue to be more impressed with what Ford has accomplished with the F-150 Lightning on an existing traditional body-on-frame platform, especially in terms of range and efficiency (even with no heat pump).
Let's talk about the upper control arms on the Cybertruck test mule.
Firstly, don't panic, we have no idea which version of the Cybertruck this was spotted on, Tesla could have been testing multiple variants of UCAs.
Just for fun, let's compare it to my 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD

@Tesla
#cybertruck
upper control arms may be weak due to thin stamping design and bending. Most trucks have forged or cast control arms. Is the cybertruck tough enough to go off-road? We haven’t seen many videos of it testing. Thoughts? 🤔💬
We were shown an ultra durable stainless bed at the Cybertruck unveil.
But in reality we are getting a plastic composite bed just the Toyota Tacoma and new Tundra..
Yaman is so triggered that Cory is going to Lucid. Now he’s trying to put down Munro and Associates and Cory’s positive impact. What an insecure and pathetic person Yaman is!
Dude these spaces are hilarious! Yaman was spouting off a bunch of disinformation about R1T and F150 Lightning as usual but then Ryan who has actually owned a R1T and driven Lightning corrected him. Yaman started losing his sh*t, eventually kicked him off the speaker panel. 😂😂
It's like Tesla YouTubers need a basic lesson in business 101. They are still making investments in EV production so yeah they won't be profitable for a couple of years ('til 2026 per Ford), just like Tesla wasn't profitable in the beginning.
I think the main reason most tesla twitter bulls are against PR of any type is because, subconsciously, they feel like they are PR for tesla and it makes them feel special. They don’t wanna be replaced 😂🤣
Tesla doesn’t spend money on PR. Tesla spends the money on making their cars Full Self-Driving instead
that is the difference between Tesla and Legacy Auto

“Any other car would be flattened”
You claim to be a researcher…do you always make such poor claims without even a quick google?
IIHS tests roof strength. Even the new Honda Civic has a stronger roof than Model 3 and Model Y. And Mach E is way stronger than all 3 of them.
Maybe Tesla has a heating element in that area since LEDs don't get warm enough.
Some Rivian owners complained of similar issues in wet snow type conditions even though R1T headlights are vertical.

It should be a free option, and if someone doesn’t want it, give them a $200 discount. This nickel and dimming is not right especially when auto gross margins for Tesla are relatively high and trending upwards.

Document everything! When you pick up the car, speak to the manager and tear them a new one. And finally inspect the car thoroughly for any damage.
