    The owner of the channel is not the owner of the car, but I believe he might be the hydraulic press channel guy? Anyway, if you want to spend the day tracking down clues and getting to the bottom of a video of some guy in Finland blowing up an 8 year old car, feel free.Smiley Please report back.

    Miserable how?  It is so hard to comment on anything here without someone like you reading extra into it. Trust me, I find it incredibly amusing that reasonable people can be snowed so easily. Be it politics or Tesla. 
    Not going to look for anything but funny enough the recommendation engine already served them up. Waste of my time to watch the either the original FUD or the subsequent FUD. 
    It is all good fun and entertainment. Thought I made that clear. Only the haters get charged up and defensive.

    Tesla Recalls Nearly 500,000 Vehicles For Camera, Front Trunk Problems

    One intelligent guy in a German Tesla forum asked why it is a safety issue if the rear camera doesn't work on his Tesla, he was very upset, said that only "pussies" need a rear camera. Smiley

    On the lighter side - my rear camera functions have been upgraded continuously. Last year they added the side view to the rear as well and last week they added the side rear view when using the turn signal.  
    Not that I’m defending that guys statement but even without looking at the camera the Tesla would audibly warn of any danger and eventually brake and refuse to go. Maybe factor that part in. You also still have the overall overheard view too.  One could argue that anyone not in a Tesla sounds far more reckless - like high speed autobahn runs in a Mustang in public. It is all relative.

    Actually they enabled owners to move icons and controls which they use the most to where they prefer them. Smart move. Of course they won’t tell you that in a positive light.  Anyone ever been a GUID user?  Stuff changes, people who don’t understand freak out. Then, on top of that you have Tesla, favorite outrage target and those who don’t own one, don’t understand one and love to join into the FUD. Not surprisingly I might add. 
    Did they mention all the other new free stuff included in the update?  A lump of coal?  Lol. Notice they don’t know or care to mention that most everything is available via voice control.  What did the other automakers give all of their customers for an OTA update for Christmas this year?  I hope everyone has is starting to see the silly ness. Smiley
    I love articles which point it out Teslas flaws in areas of functionality which others don’t even offer and which the authors have very little experience with.  It ends up showing customers what they are missing.  Ask you dealer when your car is going to do that light show. (Btw any nerd can tell you that takes a lot of system integration)

    Of course, you’re much too proud to actually watch the video embedded in the article. That addresses your copious questions and comments expressed above.

    The car that sold the most in Switzerland in 2021 is the Tesla Model 3 ( see list bellow )

    You can’t take away from Musk that his cars are a success. Predictions are that sales will continue to rise in 2022 .

    There must be something done right by Tesla. Our market is a demanding one.

    Obviously I did watch it. Thanks. One percent of the cars in question are estimated to be impacted by their reverse camera getting disconnected. All of them will be checked. The fix is simple and already in place with current cars for a year. The front latch can only be opened by the operator while stopped. If you start to move with the front latch open or not secure all types of dash warnings and sounds alert you.  As usual it is wishful thinking but I don’t blame them for being desperate at all. Have you seems Tesla’s market cap?  Have you driven a Tesla?  Perhaps there is a very good reason Musk has 300 billion dollars to his name. I’ll leave it at that. I would hate to convince some here about Tesla and ruin the endless fun I have here. Cheers

    Interesting to see over time if this is transitory or a structural change; however, initial indications is that the number one position is more representative of having few models in the market place than other manufacturers.  For example, add the total number of Volkswagen Group products on that chart and the total dwarfs Tesla.  


    Re: Tesla

    Excellent point. I agree.

    It's interesting though that probably only the XC40 and the X3 would be more expensive than the Model 3. Those three and the Q3 are the only entry level luxury autos on the list. Low cost, high volume is a thing for a reason..

    Re: Tesla

    Today I took delivery of a better Tesla than Tesla.

    1641526811470IMG_9120.JPG1641526828577IMG_9121.JPG

    Like a Tesla, it gets plugged in every night for a full charge in the morning. Like a Tesla, it has strong 'one pedal' driving. Like Tesla, it's made in America.

    It has the added benefit of going OVER snow instead of plowing through them, and also better traction off snow and ice. And it has a onboard generator for when the time the battery ran out of charge, which also happens to be able to propel the car also.

    Oh, it can also conquer off road trails, something Tesla can't do.

    It also have a giant sunroof that opens all the way to the back window. And so nice to be able to look over Model Xs in traffic. 

    Also nice to have most of the normal buttons inside the car instead of having everything hide under 10 levels of touchscreen menus. 

    My Jeep also even have fart mode today. Man, all those Mexican food last night came back out in the car. Literally farting on command. 

    Having industrial standard charging plug is so convenient, this is the 3rd brand of cars that can use the same charger. 

     

    So happy Wrangler have hybrid models now, always wanted another one. Big plus was to out maneuver the dealer and got away from his ADM. 4pm Dec 31st shopping strikes again. Oh, and I also managed to pay for the car on my AmEx, which most dealers frown upon with the credit card fees. indecision

    Re: Tesla

    Interesting. An article about how Tesla caught even seasoned pro investors off guard. Then they go on to make the same predictions, essentially, again.  I wonder if they will be correct this time?  Wishful thinking perhaps?  
    This time Tesla is definitely going to fail - time to go short and bet on legacy Auto for the win.  Why not trust the pros this time?  Lol. 
    Oh and by the way - the stock market moves in cycles. You can believe everything is being moved by Tesla, why not?  People will believe anything, look at the fate of politics, global warming, health. Good stuff.

    You are so predictable leawood indecision

    You are welcome though I thought my previous post which expressed agreement was a bit out of character. Lol. Trying to keep some life in this forum. Weekends are slow.  But seriously - was there much intelligence in that article any of you did not already know?    If the market tanks I will be blaming greed combined with out of control government spending and fiscal policy. That sounds much more plausible and likely but not what we are supposed to think. Nah. That can’t be the thing. 
    Watch for more of the narrative blaming Tesla and the mysterious ‘rich’ on the market collapse when it happens. Nothing if not predictable. 
    Cheers and have an amazing and safe weekend!

    Despite what some claim, consumers just aren't really interested in buying a full EV, they much prefer hybrids and normal cars.

    Another interesting graph from the survey, 

    Screen Shot 2022-01-08 at 9.00.01 AM.png

    US consumers expects EV to go twice as far as what the same consumers in China wanted.

    Many more interesting facts from the full Deloitte survey

    Here is something nice for Tesla fans to cheer about.

    Model 3 took second place overall in 2021 UK car sales, only finishing behind Vauxhall Cross, and ahead of the Mini.

    But, but, but Tesla has the greatest gross margins per unit in the industry.  Once again, a bit of sleight of hand in accounting is the cause.  


    Re: Tesla

    Meanwhile to competitors dream is to do an over the air update, someday. 
    I love this thread so much. Please more. The weekend is right around the corner. 
    The reason for the delay is soooo sweet. They can’t make the other, higher margin cars, fast enough. What a problem to have.  How many EVs did GM sell last quarter?  The EV industry leader according to Brandon.
