If it goes that low before gen 3 is out, I hope I got cash available.
If it goes that low after gen 3 comes out and fails, not so much!

It was very obvious 2024 was not going to meet the 50% goal and they’ve been warning us for years about it.
50% with some years over and some years under based on when we do vehicle launches is what they’ve been saying for quite a long time now.
The only way 2024 was ever going to be above that trend line, or even in its vicinity is if the Gen 3 platform launched, and it’s been clear for over a year now this wasn’t happening in 2024.
Probably like mid 2022 this was the obvious outcome for 2024.
And yet everyone is acting like the sky is falling.
The sky is falling when gen 3 comes out and it doesn’t sell well at reasonable profit. If it sells with reasonable profit, everyone is going to be hospitalized with whiplash as they start spiking deliveries again and March their way to 7-10 million vehicles based off the platform (multiple vehicles in the platform)
But ya, 2024 is a dud year. It’s been a dud year vehicle wise for over a year already.
I feel like I’ve just been given an invaluable tip that I may have never ever received had I not taken part in this conversation about socks.
I’ll remember this should I ever go to NYC
What’s this thing called summer socks? I wear the same wool socks all year and it’s great! It’s either wool socks or sockless sandels.
I only wear wool socks and work from home. I can easily go 4-5 days if I’ve only gone outside to get groceries or whatnot.
If I’m going out to socialize though and it’s been more than 2 days I’ll get a fresh pair.
Wool socks? Camping on a beach i would have just washed them in the water at least once and gone sockless while they dried.
Wait… what was toilet paper before it was a roll? It’s one of those things you just think always was…
You essentially need a fully remade battery.
Most of the attempts to fix a single module don’t work out and fail again as the battery isn’t properly balanced.
It’s almost impossible to do it without the scale of batteries the OEMs have at their service centers.
Maybe it’ll get better as time goes on though
Well ya, I got years left still.
But at 8 years it’s resale value will be much higher than at 8 years with a 15-20k battery replacement if it dies.
There’s a cost/risk to consider there, it just working isn’t a financially sound decision on its own
Edit: also by the time 8 years is up,getting a 1 year old car to eat that initial depreciation will be easier.
They did their scam at the wrong time.
Today, you can put together a deep fake video including their voice.
Have the fake alienate the other family members a few times to stop them from continued inquiries
I got an electric vehicle, and I’m worried about the post battery warranty period. Do I keep it after 8 years and hope the battery doesn’t go out, or do I say fuck that risk and get another one to drive until it’s battery warranty is up too.
GOP: well, we gave it back to Russia, but we still have American citizens there, so we’re just going to keep 2 senators to ensure they’re represented.
Dems: but we need to get representation for Puerto Rico and DC!
GOP: they’ve never had it, we’re just trying to keep the status quo!
This sounds like a set up for if Trump wins.
Trump: Im the world’s savior, I prevented World War 3 with Russia by giving them back their illegally stolen Alaska. No president has ever done anything so great for the world!
Do we even know if there might be reservoirs left? Maybe they are there for a reason.
Murdering us is more like it.
Boca Chica isn’t going to be the main launch center in the future due to things like the wildlife preserve around it. They’re going to be restricted at some point. It’s a R&D center.
They could also build the solar/wind elsewhere to offset anything, or maybe they could even invest in a SMR. They’ll have the cash once those start coming online.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re investing money to optimize the process as well, just like we see new advances in desalination continually making it more efficient. (Edit: e.g https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.35848/1347-4065/ace831)
Also even in Texas, it isn’t going to be coal forever, more and more renewable sources are being added to the grid every year. I’m not trying to say this will be an immediate thing.
They’ll probably build a solar farm.
But don’t get me started on how there no such thing as carbon neutral because it took carbon to build the solar panels, or wind mills, and the person operating the facility had to eat vegetables which required someone to ship them, which required a EV which required power that came from solar but those solar panels which were made from panels produced via solar panels required someone else to clean them which produced co2 making their meals too!
Emissions are going to go down when starship is made as well.
Starship uses a methane + oxygen fuel which burns cleaner, and can be produced with just water and CO2 making it carbon neutral.
I don’t think every flight will be neutral immediately, or what % will be consistently once its scaled up, but it’ll be better.
But 1 carbon neutral flight sending up hundreds of satellites will bring it down quickly. They could even save the carbon neutral flights for themselves for PR purposes.
Tornado season will soon be all seasons.
