Just noise, long term Tesla is fine, they are executing very well.

Twitter is just an aside in Musk history......

I like the idea of the 25k hatchback. Looking forward to seeing it develop. I don't know anyone who gets it right every time but what an oochahbeastie for the wallet in such public fashion.

Tesla could make a cheaper car now and make a profit but no point for them. It would have cheaper range of batt (sodium -iron ??) and less range as per 2nd car/around town. Front and back casting joined together by the battery pack.

I crashed into an R4 programme late last week, sorry, forgot, will try & find it.

Suffice to say "twattery"

Londoner & home counties twats whose voxpop opinion ..after buying an e-tron (either giles coren ...dont think it was peter CURRAN (also r4 & does electric pieces) whining like "prince" harry about stated range (jag ipace) not being range (..& another person, same programme, you bought a sporty audi yeah) !? 🤔 & batteries need to do 500 mile trip before he'll get another, because ...he went to a possibly second home in Cornwall from londinium at peak seasonal travel time (xmas) & was held up / annoyed by non immediate charging access.

& that london /whole charging infrastructure was crap ..from another londoner, ..where so many new chargers are deployed, compared to here in the countryside
BOLLOCKS FROM THE BBC ..again. ..shameful bbc payment to a hack writer such as g. coren who seems to specialise in controversial views these days.

Zero context as to app used / winging it, nor whether he topped up & started on a full battery from home & splashed in electrons at a "sensible stop" before hitting the wilds & a charger drought.

Wife has done multiple E/Anglia trips in a work day to Bournemouth no problem, & the Plymouth uni trip (600 miles) as an overnighter, plus visiting devon & cornwall in our low end, smaller battery TM3 .. usual billyb01locksBBCbull5h1t

Poisonous trash straight into the gullible (non informed) viewer, carrying on from top gear tesla test track "entertainment" to now 👎

Classic Musk!

Big, decisive, perfectly timed, strategic move. Completely forgetting that his customers are humans who form fragile emotional connections with the brands they buy from.

With the recent price cuts (which largely take prices back to 2021 levels) it's gloves off and land grab time.

I suspect Berlin and Austin are ready to ramp quicker than expected so will cope with increased demand.

Was in Tesla Chester yesterday, they had 200 enquiries by 11am, I witnessed two deposits being taken in the 30 mins I was there.
