Can I bet the over that it won't be delivered to me by late next year?

But here is one thing that everyone can appreciate. The new Tesla Model S Plaid is now available for order on the web site. For $1000 you can reserve yours for delivery late next year.

Granted, it's probably on Elon-time.
Did you order one?
For all the rojo bashing in this thread. Looks like elon is open to the idea
That would be a disaster for everyone who wants real cars. EV's are a scam to hide fossil fuel use behind the power grid and make you feel good.
You could call it entertainment, or a virtue industry, I guess. That's who values it. I don't want one, noone in their right mind does. If they try to convert the entire domestic auto industry to that, it will flop, it has nowhere near that much growth potential.
Whatever happens with Tesla, it will be a luxury item in essence, however it's packaged.
You have some truth. There aren't enough batteries to convert all to electric.
However you are wrong about one thing.
The power grid even at its dirtiest is tremendously cleaner emissions than the equivalent power generation of lots of small internal combustion engines. This is irrefutable don't bother debating me on this.
However I do absolutely acknowledge if people thing buying am electric car will save the environment. They're wrong. A huge chunk of a cars emissions comes from the creation of it. We'd be much better off running all our cars into the ground instead of replacing them every few years like so many americans do.
Whenever I hear someone say "I'm so sick of my car" one that's nicer than anything I'll probably ever buy, I want to vomit. And slap them. Lol
With the inventory they accumulated in Q1, I have the idea that Tesla may try to pull a quick one in Q3. I believe they might delay these autos' deliveries till the third quarter. It will make sure that all of the negative news is carried over into Q2 and that Q3 will benefit from a surge in sales of Q1 inventories. Source: https://nerdycar.com
Tesla already already reduced Q2 employee wages by 10% to 30%. The business profited from that. I have no doubt that Tesla will carry over those salary cutbacks into Q3 despite the prolonged outage.
PE is 3x normal. Overvalued for a US issue.
Product is a hit for now. Wet Cell is hazardous and is limiting growth.
Globalism is biggest concern: Panasonic, Toyota, Subaru, Honda's Open Li Ion Dry Cell tech, open parts tech, AI open source Unix and Fanuc open automation stds promises expected 10,000 Dry EV mfgs plants worldwide in poor 3rd World etc. 10 years.
R&D is in L.A. where Tesla has a pool of one million of the top scientists and engineers to pick from. The children of the experts that landed humans on the Moon , Stealth Bomber, Mars Curiosity Spacecraft, F-35, Internet, 500 Channel Cable TV, etc. It's just unbelievable what Tesla has done.
They would have a lot to gain from this in learning how to actually manufacture cars in the many millions per year. They just don't seem to know how to do it. It's not only that batteries and computer chips are scarce. Their stock price would probably go down, but that's short-term thinking. It would allow them to scale up production markedly, which they need to do to ever justify their stock price. Realize, though, that the stock price is so high because they are different than other car companies: 1) they can change car functionality through software upgrades remotely, and that includes driverless cars--years away from being high quality and safe, of course; 2) they have by far the most experience with electric cars; and 3) they have by far the best acceleration of any mainstream production line of cars.
The reason, of course, that their head start in electric cars is significant is that the market knows that electric cars are the future and gas cars are heading for the scrap yard in the next few decades.
Wet Cell is not safe. It catches fire. Fast charging Wet Cell Dry requires special public charging infrastructure. The current Wet Cell BEV will soon be obsolete and fast charging stations will vanish.
Dry Cell isn't ready yet. Dry Cell won't burst into flames. Dry call can be charged at 110 volts in 5 minutes.
BEV drive train, tires, motor are a relative no brainer to mass produce. Expect these parts to be standard and interchangeable across all global manufacturers just like pipe, lumber, windows, lights, etc. at The Home Depot today.
As a result we will have 100,000s of Dry Cell BEV manufacturers just like we have 100,000s of residential home builders today.
