Reading up on the truck, it's local only (no bunk) so don't expect to see a lot on the interstates. -- (edited) - spamlet Nov 17, 06:51 1
- Depends more on the battery management system. If the usable capacity is enough less than the total capacity, then the battery can lose efficiency - TWuG, neck model Nov 17, 06:58
The first thousand Roadsters will cost $250,000 up front, according to the Reuters article I’m reading. -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 06:11 11
- Yeah. It's up on the Tesla site now. Full price upfront for the first 1000 (Founder Series), 50k upfront for the regular $200k car. -- nm - TWuG, neck model Nov 17, 06:15 10

        In addition, Tesla only "loses" money in the way that Amazon "loses" money. It's all plowed into building capacity and infrastructure. - TWuG, neck model Nov 17, 08:31
        
        Are you truly arguing that their expectations of production improved solely on the basis of how many reservations they got? - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:30 3
        
        They had no reason to guide earlier than 2020 before they opened reservations. 2020 was an expectation based on presumed demand. When they saw - TWuG, neck model Nov 17, 08:40 2
        
        And guided (lied) about the reality of that schedule in fiduciary documents. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:52 1
