Excellent post. And fyi I already own a Model 3. Just some thoughts...
But but, Toyota pumped out 20 million cars last year, and Tesla only did a few hundred thousand.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
People joke about this but I think its because they basically don't understand. Same revelation as when you finally learn McDonalds isn't a burger company. At this point I actually feel bad for analysts that cover Tesla because their competance is automove, but being forced to cover Tesla is like Michael Jordan thinking he's good at baseball.

To add some perspective. Fremont was closed for a month and a half, thats HALF the quarter yet they delivered a ton of cars. WSJ headline was Tesla's yoy deliveries was down 5%, lovely. Again big media just doesn't get it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Tesla already said that their goal is to make the drivetrain last a million miles. Why not have a battery to match. But to go beyond that, they are discovering that there is a huge secondary market for batteries.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

This ties is the lidar vs no lidar debate. Lidar is ok in some cases but its also expensive and in bad conditions its reliability breaks down fast. And yes data, Tesla by far has the most real world driving data. And with more than a million cars on the road, they can easily collect more specific scenario data on a whim. I follow some of the brightest minds in the field of AI and autonomous driving, the general consensus is we're still far from real full self driving, but everyone agrees that Tesla is years ahead of anyone else.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

My understanding of what is likely holding the semi up is batteries. These obviously need a lot of batteries and they just cant make enough. But the fact that they announced that they're moving into production hints that they having something figured out, which we'll likely learn on battery day, Sept 15.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

This should be very close to the top of the list. It's not perfect but charging at superchargers is mostly good. I did a who weeks worth of driving out to BC and back for $100. The SC network is still growing. The competitions network is still a work in progress, its segregated, its mostly slow and, in a pinch Teslas can use those but not the other way around. But also I have to add, charging at home is one of the best parts of owning a Tesla. You have no idea how much time you waste filling up every week until you don't have to not to mention having to get out of your car when its raining or freezing.

So maybe Tesla gets included at some point, maybe. Maybe the price goes up a bit, who knows. Perhaps Tesla had a huge short following, again just hypothetically, I wonder what will happen when they all start to cover all at once?

its bananas on so many levels. It looks bananas. It was a brilliant move by Tesla. They could have made an F150 looking truck. But lets be real, truck drivers are loyal, when an F150 driver needs a new F150, they are getting a new F150. So instead of playing the F150 game, they made their own game. Huge gamble but so far the reservation numbers show its paying off.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

From the outside, the model Y just looks like a bigger 3, but yeah after watching the munro breakdown, it just goes to show they are innovating on pretty much every part of the car, from stamping, to welding, to redesigning and integrating components. The super bottle was one of the 3's best achievements. Tesla bested this with an octovalve paired with a heat pump. Someone smarter than me will have to explain the octovalve and its significance.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Bingo, alas Teslas greatest asset is also its greatest liability. And I get it, not everyone loves this style. I'm not a big fan of taunting the SEC. But he's not afraid to show his true character.

Some other thoughts:
-Something about this autobidder makes many think that this could be another huge opportunity. Basically The giant battery pack in Australia has already proven itself economically. But Telsa is going a step further to provide the software behind it to maximize the economics. https://www.tesla.com/en_CA/support/autobidder
-I still think Tesla builds the safest cars on the road. Remember, the S broke the machine that tried to crush it.
-You've touched on this, but the product lineup is awesome and exciting. The SEMI, the roadster, the cybertruck, and there is a rumored even more economic car in the works.
-Competition, or should I say lack thereof. I thought everyone loved the Bolt and it was going to decimate the 3's sales? I just don't think anyone is serious about going head to head with Tesla and maybe rightfully so, its scary producing a product you know is inferior. This whole covid thing is making automakers reevaluate their spending and many are cutting or delaying their EV programs. This just makes Tesla's lead even further. I just can't see anyone coming out with anything compelling for a while.
Buddy here explains it pretty well. Basically an 8 sided dildo for all the heating and cooling needs in the vehicle.

Twist: I am Rurr Jurr's mom!
But more seriously, one tangible and really beneficial impact that Tesla is going to have on the entire automotive and manufacturing industry is the vastly increased modularization. That Octovalve, the huge rear casting of the model Y. Stuff like that. Traditional automakers may not ever "catch up" but they will need to incorporate concepts like this to reduce build times and increase profits. And, you know what, it should increase reliability and repair-ability too. Your Octovalve might do five functions, but if it malfunctions, you can drop a complete unit in somewhat quickly.
Some other industries do this, even stone-age oil and gas in some capacity. I have met with multiple frac plug manufacturers, and depending on the company, they have 5-10 machining and finishing steps on their plugs AFTER than main composite part is removed from the mold. Well, there's one (at least) that has reduced that to 2 finishing steps, by spending literally millions on a more complex casting. Make plug #1 much more expensive, but if they sell hundreds of thousands, or millions of them, they come out waaaayyy ahead in costs, speed, and functionality. Small example, but ya get it.
EDIT: And the day Tesla is amassing free cash flow, and still expanding, that's the day all the doubters said would never come, and is a true inflection point where the "book" valuation could start to catch up to the market capitalization. I am not doing a deep dive through the finances to figure out if that day has past, or is coming soon. But hey, that will be cool. I may not be a fanboi of Tesla the company, or Tesla the car, but I am a fanboi of advancing technology.

One reason why Tesla doesn't patent a lot of things is that competitors can easily copy/steal the tech if it is out in the open. Sure they can try to deconstruct it, but it ain't as easy as it sounds. They are going the Coca Cola route and locking away the cocaine recipe in the bat cave.

Someone buy my Tesla before I trade it in for ExtraSlow's BBQ. It is seriously in too mint of a condition to go to auction - which makes me sad. Cosmos repainted most of the panels in the car shortly after delivery and ShadowTint did the PPF and Tints. We were very very very nitpicky at delivery and my mom can be very scary.
