Sweet baby Jesus it’s *happening. *soon.

Seriously horrible paint variation from panel to panel. I thought they fixed that! Edit: /s because the internet can’t read this in my sarcastic voice.

With the CT shaped like triangles it seems like there is some ideal Tangram-like way of packing them onto a dedicated carrier to maximize CTs-per-carrier.

The question now is will the expansion be used to make more Model Y (or model 3), or the new, "smaller" vehicle. My bet is the new smaller vehicle.

Last month, Tesla (TSLA) sought to expand its European Gigafactory situated in Berlin-Brandenburg, which presently can produce 500,000 cars annually.

NOBODY does it like Lego. Anyone who has bought off-brand copycat Chinese brick sets knows what amazing precision/consistency Lego pieces are built to.

Lego precision and quality control is amazing. They use the same dies for decades. They are certainly the bar for consistency and quality. If Tesla can get anywhere near that level of precision they will be in a great place.

“I can only assume that Musks post is poorly worded or he is clueless. Nobody is sourcing parts with overall dimensions on the order of a meter with typical tolerances of a few microns. This is especially true of non-machined cast or formed parts which will deform microns as they ... See More age due to internal stresses. Handling the parts will deform them that much. Those dimensional toleranced are usually reserved for precision fitting small parts (or small features on a large part) or optics. His post is nonsense. But he does this all the time trying to sound intelligent, like saying The CT can pull a "near infinite mass"...near infinite IS infinite.” Quite of from one of the commenter.

FUD. I was told cybertruck was in production because we saw some on trucks being transported

It’s so ugly it’s almost cool. Almost.

I want one so bad!

I was sure it would grow on me eventually…but this thing just gets more weird and ugly every time I see a pic.

That just looks ridiculous

I like it and I’m tired of pretending I do not.

From the article: Tesla knew about the breach the day it happened, on May 10, and began notifying affected employees Friday. It cited "insider wrongdoing" as the cause of the breach, which included Social Security numbers. "A foreign media outlet (named Handelsblatt) informed Tesla on May 10, 2023 that it had ... See More obtained Tesla confidential information," the company wrote in its notice. "The investigation revealed that two former Tesla employees misappropriated the information in violation of Tesla’s IT security and data protection policies and shared it with the media outlet. The outlet has stated that it does not intend to publish the personal information, and in any event, is legally prohibited from using it inappropriately." Tesla confirmed there was no "evidence of misuse of the data in a manner that may cause harm." Still, it offered 12 months of Experian’s IdentityWorks credit monitoring and identity theft service to those affected. "Among other things, we identified and filed lawsuits against the two former employees," Tesla said. "These lawsuits resulted in the seizure of the former employees’ electronic devices that were believed to have contained the Tesla information. Tesla also obtained court orders that prohibit the former employees from further use, access, or dissemination of the data, subject to criminal penalties."

Contingent authorization doesn't work when you got two dirty scumbags working in IT security. What exactly was their goal of sharing it with a media outlet anyway?

As an ex employee I received this email warning in fact
