Is this because of 4680 battery delays as well of have vehicles started being delivered with them already?
Not entirely but part of it. I don't think any non-test vehicle has 4680 yet but the Austin factory has 4680 equipment installed so it's going to be happening very soon. The factory supplying the steel for cyber truck production is also not finished yet. Not to mention chip shortages and supply chain problems that everyone is dealing with these days.

My mom and dad (both over 70) are headed to Great falls, MT. Current temp is -24, windchill -37. Distance is about 330km.

This looks promising





That’s impressive. LFP chemistry and 200 kWh. Typically those are heavier. Wonder what the energy density is in wh/kg.

I don't know how anyone can be behind a company that is only around because of government subsidies.

Ford, dodge and chev have all gotten their fair share of government dollars. He'll why do ya think GM is busy telling everyone they won't be selling anymore ICE consumer vehicles past 2035?

Yep they are all basically government controled corporations now.

Cronyism.

Probably. I've read that after the new update, some people are experiencing no heat in their tesla. I wonder if that is to show them how cold their house would be as well without O&G

Telsa reminds me a lot of china, bunch of propaganda to hide the truth, and people too scared to speak the truth for fear of showing how badly they regret owning one.

Even the article about the one with 900,000 miles or whatever the guy wouldn't say how much it cost to get to that point but it was obviously massive. How much Telsa paying him to keep quiet?
