I'm glad this article became public. Initially it was just on Bloomberg as something you had to be a paid subscriber to access. I had been wanting to read the details of this unboxing method as I saw someone reference it on Twitter and I wanted to read more. If they can do this, it would be a game changer.

I love it! Love the rims. Looks like it has a lip. It's probably going to be priced closer to $60k

Hate the wheels. Maybe they look better in person? Hope so...

I hope it's not an April Fools joke.

The past 5 years is not a cherry picked time horizon lol.

I'll continue to ignore her and listen to people with much better track records, thanks.

I don't "hate" anybody. I dislike Tesla and I dislike Elon for different reasons, some are intertwined. Tesla I dislike because of their control interface decisions prioritizing cost savings and novelty over good functional design, Elon I simply think is a despicable person for many reasons.

Are you on X? I use to use it more in the past but its currently a dumpster fire (last I remembered since I no longer use it). In my feed, under many of the posts are the following people:
1. Paid X subscribers advertising their OnlyFans with explicit content when the initial "tweet" had nothing to do with OF or relating topics.
2. Paid X subscribers that are major fans of Elon and Tesla

I have to scroll pass all the explicit content, then ads to get to actual replies to a post. I can't even screenshot proof because of how explicit the content is.

Are you talking about me loving it, or that this is possibly a fake pic of the upcoming Model 3 Ludacris ? If so, I was fooled 🤣

Wow, wasn't expecting under 400k sales. I am not sure why some media outlets are comparing BYD Q1 2024 sales to their Q4 2023 sales while for Tesla they are comparing Q1 2024 and Q1 2023. Seems deceptive.


Tesla also seems like they have a surplus of inventory (biggest difference between deliveries and production on record), so I don't buy their excuses for why deliveries are so low this quarter.

You need an Ad blocker. Try Ublock Origin. Blocks almost 100 percent ads, including Youtube. I see ZERO ads in Youtube, and it gets around Youtube's video delay to frustrate people using ad blockers. Unfortunately they only have desktop version for Chrome and Firefox, they don't have an Android app, not sure about iPhone.

I've never been a fan of Twitter, nor am I of X. I hate Social Media, period. I have an X account, but I never use it. I think this is the only social media I regularly use
