So I heard an acquaintance who was a Tesla owner talking to my friend who is a Tesla owner

He informed her that he was on his 4th battery in his car

Once, it was because it was filled with water???

Massive price cuts today, which is what businesses always do when demand is greater than supply. But, FSD will cost $1000 more in the coming months, so buy now and then one day you can use it for your robotaxi.

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
kinda sorta

they killed all the base models, then they lowered the price slightly on the more expensive ones

Here's some background

Working with a pure white pigment requires more meticulous quality assurance because the pigment (titanium oxyde) is prone to in-paint and under-paint corrosion. The added particles in pearl work as an inhibitor and mean you can get away with pigments of lesser quality.

The exact color was a reason Ford had a massive issue with in-paint corrosion on their white transits a decade ago. You can not cheap out on white.

M3 performance had a 8% drop, Ludicrous mode was $20k, now Model S performance includes it for a believe ~$3k more. I can't wait to see the average sale price and margins for Q3. It looks like the cars with the highest margins had the biggest drop.

also GM in my experience; I had a white early 90s gm and that paint was basically washing off in the rain

It’s super weird that people have ever cared about the blue check.

Even Reddit karma means more than a blue check on Twitter.

the equivalent in this case is an official fax from the Chief Marketing Officer, Steak-Umm, Inc. stating that they own the credentials for the account, dummies

anyway point is the blue check has never meant anything other than "this twitter account is operated by the person or entity it claims to be." of course anyone can get it.
