I saw that in my Google news feed and blocked Reuters. They used to rival UK's BBC but both the BBC and Reuters have fallen for this clickbait popularity crap as opposed to unbiased news.
Much like the Trump Maga Cult, Elon is telling his cult followers that all the news is fake news....
MSM news is poor quality and mostly propaganda with an agenda from their backers. The sooner they fail the better.
Are you telling me that BBC is a unbiased news source? 😂
@@dxelson can you read pal?
@@dxelsonUsed to have real investigative journalists writing for them.
I had no idea how shady Reuters was from a journalistic standpoint until I bought a Tesla and started to see first hand how suspect their claims and reporting were - it's really disappointing they chose sensationalism over integrity but here we are.
Agreed , it almost seems Reuters is in someone’s pocket.
...sure, as if they haven't actually been right every time.

For sure. Problem is, where DO you go nowadays for unbiased news? I honestly do not know.
Not entirely. See above comment

Go ahead. Look into them.

@@LimeAndLimpidGreenewhat are the odds that he won't walk back his comments when the Model 2 is officially scrapped...in 2029. At least the Mars colony and fsd was delivered as promised.
“Reuters”….Ironic it rhymes with Rumors.
Yeah, like that time they said musk was going to India... Last week 🤣
Roto Reuters weekly tsla short sellers dump downloading and in progress. So the teslaq morons lap it up they love that golden chunky rain! 😀
People who follow media say when Reuters decided to paywall their site they moved to a clickbait strategy. The days of them being the 'reputable outlet' are now gone.
To be fair Reuters said Tesla had abandoned the single piece casting, not giga casting. I think it was Reuters that pushed the single piece casting idea back in September last year. Single piece never made much sense to me as the battery is already a one piece floor. I would imagine possible large castings for the side frames, but they’re stamped in one go from tailored blanks. So I don’t know whether further castings would be any cheaper. We’ll have to wait and see what Tesla says on 8/8.
I watch a lot of car rebuilding videos, I know I wouldn't want a cast car.
4:30
Totally agree! going from 70 parts to 1 giga part makes economic sense, going from 2 giga parts to 1 mega part saves joining two parts together, doesn’t seem worth it to me.
@@justinr9753 Depends. I like to service my own cars and am useful with a welder. Most people don't change their own wipers. Cars are becoming disposable, much like mobile phones (which I also used to fix). Buy one, run it for 5-7 years, throw it away, get a new model with a bigger processor and GPU. In that world cast cars make much more sense. Personally I'll miss tinkering, but that season is almost over.
So what? They still lied.
Reuters Bureau, has a nickname i Denmark. Its called Rumors Bureau. But of course, they dont write about rumors. They take orders from sponsors and makes fake stories.
Like that time they said Elon was heading to India 🤣
Reuters, like many others, is sowing doubt so that some potential buyers will instead buy GM, VW or Toyota.
That's not how regular people buy a car. "Oh they aren't going to make the car out of fragile gigacasting that's unrepairable and expensive to insure according to Reuters, well o guess I'm buying GM"
@@justinr9753 Wait until your Ultium battery catches fire!
@@rozonoemi9374 hahahah, did you hear that from reuters too?
Reuters just said Tesla was scaling back some of their bold plans. This wasn’t a criticism of Tesla. Tesla says Reuters is “lying” and then immediately announces changes that delay or scale back or downplay all the things Reuters predicted.
@@davidbangsdemocracy5455 You're trying to make an uninformed cult knowledgeable. Even when the stories are proven true a short time later.
Reuters has gone the way of Fox. Into the garbage can.
Why not wait for Tesla to make an announcement rather than guessing all the time? Basically who cares as long as ev’s keep being made.
Investors are clamoring for information. What if Reuters was just baiting Elon to get better info? Most who deal with Tesla find it difficult to get information.
Because Tesla is using gigacastyimngs, and save a lot of money doing it.
EVS MUST BE BANNEDIMMEDUATELY.
Why not "listen" to Sam's whole report? Elon set the record straight!
Tesla laid off 10% of its employees. In the Texas plant that was about 3,700 employees, fired all the marketing department. To be honest didn’t even know they had one. And now fired tier supercharging crew. They keep lowering the price on their vehicles. But things are going great
Elon stated in December that the line was being built and Mexico would be the second line. So yes things have changed
Traditional car mfg method is Sequential assembly in lines; whereas Tesla’fs “unboxed” concept is to manufacture “ in parallel”. So parallel vs sequential.
I think the casting is great for profits and keeping prices lower but for insurance costs it goes though the roof . Once a single large casted item is damaged in a accident it totals the car . Cars in the past mostly had many panels . Say a quarter panel is damaged you could replace with new or even used . I have replaced myself and was quite easy . It's possible Tesla recognizes this as a problem as basically there cars are throw away after even a minor accident .
The designation Model "2" makes perfect sense: 2S3XY😊 I predict two future models will be the Model 4 and the Model U in that order: 2S3XY4U😊
Or a Model U and a Model R: UR2S3XY. The Model R could even be the new Roadster.
@@markolafslot6439 that works!
I see "The driven" has also drunk the Reuters Koolaid. 😏. Their credibility flushed in the dunny.

You are a Tesla hater in my mind.
Literally used to hold Reuters to high regard how the mighty have fallen
Reuters used to be a source of news. I wonder what happened.
They broke the layoffs story first.
I think Reuters and the Viking are playing a semantic game, against a general arc of Elon de-emphasizing car stuff in favor of AI, self driving, robots, etc. To Reuters, the words "scrap" and "delay till who knows when" have the same meaning, where as the Viking sees them as different. Also, Reuters and I probably wonder if Elon is not spinning the truth so that the stock does not go down. The model 2 was being built in Mexico. Fine. Then no no no lets "scrap"/"delay indefinitely" Mexico and build the first line in Texas. Fine. Then Reuters reports that insiders are telling them that Tesla is canceling orders for the parts to build it in Texas and are "scrapping"/delaying indefinitely the model 2. This causes the stock to tank. Elon then says they are lying but is hardly specific. Then Elon says they are scrapping/delaying indefinitely the unboxed method and will just build the model 2 on existing production lines (and probably lose the cost reductions to make it 25K). That, in a way, sort of proves Reuters right. Then Musk lays off tons and tons of workers. Then Elon lays off almost all of the charging team. Then he says no, back to Mexico. But are they building it very fast? Then Reuters reports the Elon is losing interest in the mega cast for the model 2 (at least for now). The overall trend is that Elon seems to want Tesla car division to stop expanding and pour all available funds into robo-taxis which is what he seems really interested in. Reuters spins it up more than it is. And the Viking spins it down. But I am scared. I want EVs to succeed and Tesla isn't quite the knight for EVs it once was and now seems more interested in other things. Also, Elon can't stop making political statements that polarize people and he loves to lay people off with no notice.
calling BS
there are only a few truth tellers left, like the electric clown.
Instead of reinventing the car again Tesla is going to spend the effort on optimizing existing processes.
A few weeks ago, Reuters said that Tesla would postpone or abandon the Model 2. Elon denied it. Then it turned out to be true.
A Tesla coming to market late? That never happens '...'
Thanks
funny how MsM never write about how GM is not making or selling 500k EVs by 2025 to rival tesla per Barra.
New York Post? TMZ? WOMEN'S DAY!? OUCH!
Reuters is a shadow of its former self - now its a click bait shop run by hacks
Early today I received a pop-up asking if I wanted to subscribe to the Electric Viking. Which I declined. After consideration about the channel I have decided to subscribe. Over the past few years I have posted many contrary views and they have always been accepted and not blocked. Sam has a channel that is open to a free and fair discussion, and I wish to remain a part of the discussions, even though I am somewhat of a contrarian. Only by those free and honest discussion can we arrive at conclusions that will aid in our journey into an unknow future.
This is why companies have PR Departments.
Insurance companies will love this.
Why the hell does ANYONE listen to Reuters anymore?
I don't trust Reuters, but in this case, they are spot on. It is not for Reuters to prove their story is true, it is for Tesla to prove that: 1. Model 2 will be produced this year. 2. It will use one-piece giga casting. 3. And unboxing. So far, there is nothing in Tesla declaration that proves anything.
Um, help me here. When did Tesla say the cheaper car (they’ve never called it Model 2 as far as I know) would arrive in 2024? When did they say it would include a one piece gigacasting? Yep, they said they would use the unboxed process. Happy to be corrected 😊
@@Lypiatt For Model 2 and one piece giga casting, there's not only Musk himself, but the Musk Rats, including "Electric Viking" , "Solving The Money Problem", "Farzad", "Future AZA", Matt Pocius and others. But you have inadvertently confirmed my point. If Musk DIDN'T say it, then Reuters, maybe, should not say Tesla changed their plan, but they are still correct that Tesla has no such plan. And if there's no such plan, then the current P/E ratio, which is double the Nasdaq average, is heading for a big correction.
I don't think the Musk Rats speak for Tesla 🙂 The multiple is very high by normal standards, yet I own the stock. I also owned it back before the last big rise in the share price because I believed they would come out of production hell and make a success of the M3 and MY. The MY has been a huge success. I took the risk for which I received a large return, most of which I banked. A similar situation exists now. You can scoff at the multiple and short the stock or you can bet on them getting robotaxi off the ground, in which case the share price will increase significantly. You pays your money and you makes your choice. I am betting they succeed, you obviously feel the opposite. Let's calmly wait and see 👍
@@Lypiatt Unsophisticated investing seems sensible when you buy a stock and it goes up. Or you sell and it goes down.
@@Lypiattthey layed off the marketing, supercharger and cathode teams. At least 20% of workforce is out. Yet you think Robotaxi is going to save the company. You got lucky once. Stop there.
😂Reuters short TSLA 😎😆👍
They report good and bad multiple times on the same day so maybe they want to get on the same page if that's what's happening. Are the layoffs not happening? Was the trip to India not true the whole time? Are the people complaining about suspension problems on service center reviews not telling the truth? Is electrified garage not telling truth about suspension problems. They clearly note, according to their insiders.
On April 23, Tesla released earnings that missed Wall Street expectations, Tesla said it had a simpler, faster plan for producing “more affordable” cars after shelving plans for the Model 2, which was expected to cost $25,000 and be released in the second half of 2025. Instead of shooting the messenger, find out if the message is in fact true.
Reuters and Snopes…zero reliability👌🏻
"Tesla confirmed that they're not going to scrap the Model 2." Ha ha! Tesla also confirmed that FSD would be ready by the end of 2020.
Modular manufacturing. It makes it easier to produce the car. So yes when you make cars faster and cheaper the car has to have a few pieces which is better for modular manufacturing.
If so-called A.I. was good, a manufacturer could create a software model and evaluate different methodologies before spending billions to create the tooling.
Great video
not even reuters is this inept. ive got to ask, which oil company owns reuters?
I ordered a new Model 3 Highland with White Interior and my expected delivery date is late June - I ordered in late April. The Sales Consultant told me the wait is due to demand being very high for my configuration. I saw three new teslas in my neighborhood. I don't sees Tesla having a demand problem.
Which part of the country are you in? I'm in northern California and ordered a Model 3P in late April. Delivery will be sometime between May 12 and June 9 I think. I have not seen very many 2024 Model 3s in this area so far.
@@scottbreseke716 northern VA a bit east of Leesburg. I ordered the long range 3 “Highland” with white interior. I was told that would extend the wait.
@@RagnarinVa I have heard of it told before that white interiors may take longer to receive. But just hang in there. It's worth it. I'll be going on my third Tesla Model 3 very shortly.
@@scottbreseke716 oh I agree I test drove it twice and it is quieter and more solid than my Mercedes. We have our HVAC/Electrician contractor schedule to install level 2 charging - they were on Teslas recommended list and we have an annual contract with them and get 15 percent off installation.
What should scare the auto industry is that Tesla is becoming very CAPEX efficient and strategic. I also believe Giga Texas will still be the first place for the 25k car as they are modeling out the production method there now.
Part of the problem is we dont know because the pr department is Elon.
Sam, you don’t know if it was pure speculation. The fact of the matter is that there were many other reports prior regarding the M2 production plan. For example the serious debates as to whether the M2 will have a steering wheel due to Musk’s insistence that it be fully autonomous. Musk talked about single cast cars many times but those plans have clearly changed. Using existing lines to make a low cost car is clearly a major change. It seems to me Reuters got it mostly right but maybe should have said Tesla made major changes to their M2 plans.
If I was an unscruplulous billionaire with a competing news platorm, I might leak all sorts of garbage for my competitor to publish, with little or no validation.
I LOL'd at New York Post, TMZ, Womens Day.......I love this channel no reason reporting on cars and energy cant be fun.
Time will tell.
Tesla could goose the sales if they made the default color pink instead of white
Tesla's CEO is the very last person to believe today. Why would anyone think otherwise 🤔
Reuters is flirting with a Lawsuit. Guess they didnt learn anything from the FOX lawsuit from Dominion.
So where is Tesla at with the factory in Mexico? That would be a better vlog.
Battery prices ,cost of over 40 pct of tge car are down by 50 pct.imagine a testla model 3 built in mexico with 1/2 the labour's costs.they could reduce the price of the model 3 by over 30 to 40 pct.a next gen newer smaller vehicle could easily be a bargain.
Holly shit from Reuters, ask Sandy Monroe.
So, the unbuilt Mexico plant will build the model 2, which ( according to Musk ) will be available for dly in August. Makes perfect sense to me.😅😅😅 Tesla are in big trouble. They cannot compete against the Chinese on the worldwide market. And Tesla knows it.
At this point, the hens are coming home to roost. Musk’s toxic rhetoric, Tesla’s reduced sales, and Delaware’s challenge to his $50 billion compensation are leading him to burn it all down out of spite. The board needs to vote him out, get a CEO who won’t trash the company and can scrape by on only 25-30 million pay a year. And to rehire the network team and continue forward, because sales will normalize upward with him dissociated from the company. At this moment of crisis, the workers may come to understand the value of unionizing.
Besides the fact that 50b is twice the lifetime profit of company, it’s also *all* cash and short term assets if the company. Tesla would be bankrupt immediately. I assume he wants more shares. He want to come closer to what I read in a German (business) newspaper: „…Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla…“. Actually he owns 12.91%, that not really „the owner“.
So what was Elon inspecting every week? Elon never lies.
Reuters used to be great. Now, they have been forced to capitulate. Of course losing a reliable journalistic voice is never good but we should be asking why. It is not enough to just condemn them.
Will Tesla try and go back to being an competitive auto producer and justify it's current production line overcapacity ?.
I thought the “unboxed” process was meant to accompany the Model 2 to accomplish the efficiencies necessary to meet the $25k price point. Perhaps under pressure from BYD the Model 2 release date has been brought forward without the whole “unboxed” process being involved. That will come later.
What BYD pressure??? This all will become apparent when it happens and then people will again say "he is a genius!". That's how mankind works.
This is the same Electric Viking that made a video on April 30 with the title, "Tesla’s new CHEAP models will be modified versions of Model 3 and Model Y". In that video he said the Model 2 WAS cancelled except for robotaxi version. Too bad he can't keep his story straight.
To quote a famous German Chancellor: „I don’t care about the sh.t I said yesterday“
Reuters also said that Tesla would not build that factory in Mexico. The Mexico factory should be producing Model 2 cars by now, but Tesla hasn't even broken ground yet and it looks like they never will. Reuters was right again.
Reuters really wants that stock to drop don't they? Skittish investors eyeballing the grass on the other side trying to tank it so they can get onboard? I'll bet my farm that Elon sees the incredible advancements in battery technology and is going to re engineer the Model 2 to be a forever car. We know the powertrain can do 500k pretty easily with regular maintenance. Making everything else as robust as that shouldn't be an insurmountable task. Making everything last 1M miles is a different ballpark. They could do some teardowns of 500K+ Tesla's to see what the probable failure points are and improve them accordingly. They also know what fails from the repair invoices.
Reuters and others have more than one agenda. Tesla does not pay them, sooo .... there's that. Then stock prices rise and fall based off of their comments. And who knows what else these people affect. Just think how valuable these guys are to stock brokers.
Reuters Click Bate, Fool me once shame on them. Fool me twice and I will never click on them ever again along with advocating for everyone else to do the same.
👍👍
What you might want to do is to research the authors of these various anti Tesla stories to see if they have a connection to each other. Then you might want to research the authors deeply to see if they have contacts with financial benefits from legacy automakers of investment houses with interests in the fossil fuel industry. When people lie it is usually for some reason. The most common one is for money. People who lie consistently usually have a patron to please...
👍
Has anyone ever seen him comment once in the last year? ONCE? lol
It seems Reuters received payment for a certain degree of spin over time. Journalistic massé.
Reuters DID immediately update their story saying the Musk had said they lied but had NOT pointed out any specific fact that was wrong. Tesla’s recent presentations have highlighted more incrementalism, which could be called “scrapping” some previous bold plans.
Can you be specific regarding “incrementalism”?
Reuters are wrong again? They were right that model 2 are off for now, a scratched version M# dosent change that.
Model 2 does not exist. If you mean the $25k car they are still going to make them but not next year.
and probably not the next... maybe same year as it goes coast to coast by itself @@kazedcat
@@andders2477 They will make them using tax incentive to reach $25K target.
Why are EV sales stagnant? Are people only realizing they are kak now? What happened to Moore's law and the S curve??
The only Kak is out dated ignorant fact less anti ev childish lie repeating & ignorance of year on year sales figures..
Or perhaps we're seeing the first global depression, and demand for everything has dried up because consumers have run out of money. It's not just EVs. All cars, houses, handbags, even McDonalds are moaning that customers have stopped buying their stuff.
@@TradeWithShawn Possible, however there is still positive double digit growth in predominantly ICE vehicle manufactures, Toyota being one in the US market. People might argue that it is due to them building more affordable vehicles. I would just say exactly, a small point taken.
Tesla is ALWAYS saying the TRUTH and nothing but the TRUTH. So Reuters is WRONG. Q.E.D.
Why always the Tesla apologist? If, for example, Toyota or Ford got some bad press you'd be full-on gloating. And quoting Musk means very, very little.
Please believe Reuters FUD.
And here in this channel we see the unbiased truth? Ridiculous
NY Post a speculative paper? What planet do you live on?
keep pumping, chesterfield mall running out of space
So far the only thing that hasn't been true was ELON'S TRIP TO INDIA.
Reuters may have some inside info. But there's 'inside the company' and 'inside the management.' My guess is that it's the former. If the novel car building technique saves money Tesla will do it.
Sam, based on the way you cover Elon and Tesla, I guess you think that Elon didn't lay off anyone in the Supercharger department. Or that laying off everyone is some kind of genius move that Elon deserves credit for.
@bigdaddy1279 Laying off people in the Supercharger department was smart. Some of the vendors have stated, Tesla Supercharger personnel haven't been the best to work with. They are not as efficient and progressive as needed.
and based on your comment, it would appear that you are a Tesla and Elon troll.
yes it seems like someone have got to many shares at a bad time.
As a shareholder I’m looking for ROI. I don’t care about “unboxed”, “giga casting” or the next French Toast idea, just ROI.
Haters always hate.
Not sure what's going to happen until it does. Elon is in an all out roll to push production of everything farther. I do think some execs think the job is done so they kick back a bit but it's just started. The super chargers have been having issues with chagring the cyber truck. The v4 cabinet is having problems or it would be rolled out.
I cannot wait till rumors Reuters reports of (Announcers voice) 2 headed martians driving a model x seen hoovering
Nobody is wrong or right. Everyone just want to promote their own agenda.
Disagree in regard to the narrative that there's some kind of bias in either MSM or Reuters. The reality is that all news orgs are really feeling the heat - of the net and citizen journalism --- consider, for example - this channel. For many here, this is their source of news, not Reuters or other news sources. So, their reporting has been a bit more extended - they have been half right, half wrong on their reporting for a while - owing to their taking more chances. Case in point - the report regarding the low cost model was half true - Tesla was shifting gears to produce prototypes for both Robotaxi and the lower cost model and using that frame and body for the robotaxi. So technically, they did cut into the lower cost model on outset and they were promoting Robotaxi - the part where that article missed the mark is future state for the production line. The kind of massive changes happening at Tesla were first broken to press by Reuters, they just didn't have all of the information. .... Reuters is, for better or worse - throwing stuff at the wall to see if it sticks. And they have to. This channel literally cuts into their business, as do many others and they must try to get the scoop or they will lose their shirts. The key point of the article is that they report 3 piece gigacasts are still being used, but that apparently the plan to 1 piece the gigacast will be scrapped. Even though Tesla has not confirmed this, it makes sense - it's expensive to keep pushing for the one piece gigacast, however the cost savings in the new batteries that are coming out will drive the cost of the vehicle down far enough for them to make their price point so likely they +are+ going to slow roll the aggressive move to get one piece gigacasts finished off and on the line, and just use whatever line they have to produce the robotaxi and the newer model side by side using 3 piece process. There was always a question mark how big the casts would be, and if you can count three of them on the line then the reporting is accurate. I count three at time of writing. And I see no plan to swap them out before the new model and robotaxi launch. -- -Overall, agree they are the first to report anything dark about Tesla but I think they're just chasing another headline and right or wrong, this article is not yet disproven or disavowed by Tesla. Cheers.
They are not the only ones saying it. If you’re not developing a cheap car which requires the development of a single structure Giga-casting solution. Why bother continuing that development, when you can spend the budget on other technologies which are more important. Remember Elon Musk has stated Tesla’s a technology company not a car manufacturer. Now he has made his decision to double down on AI for an autonomous vehicle, anything which does not directly contributes to that goal will be cancelled.
Do you know that 86% of teslas revenue was from car sales last year. Sounds like a car company to me 🤔 the AI robotaxi stuff goes nowhere Without the car sales and teslas FSD is behind the competition and in reality is likely decades away from ever becoming reality .even if the AI gets perfected it's such a complex issue to govern regulate and insurance 🙄 who's to blame when it goes wrong and it will and has many times already .unless there is no human interaction only AI robotaxis there will be crashes machines will never think like a human every single humans mind is unique something computer's will never be
@@seamusspratt7205 listen to what Elon Musks has said many times. Quote “Tesla’s a technology company not a car manufacturer that is a zero sum game.” That is where the stock value is the Dojo supercomputer, AI software and autonomous systems the cars were a means to an end. Yet more senior management has left today, the objective is to reduce the work force by 20%. He announced this week, Tesla will spend around $10B this year in combined training and inference AI, the latter being primarily in car.
I don't care whether or not Tesla changed its production methods. I don't work there. Why get emotional about stuff like this?
I think Elon is feeding this information to a mole, which they have identified internally, who is repeating this information to Reuters:D!
I can see why Sam would try to balance up the negative press that Tesla gets, it is indeed common to read a story that is economical with the truth re Tesla, spinning a story to make it sound negative (eg the ‘recalls’ that are actually just OTA updates, there is some truth in it, but they make it sound to the average reader that thousands of cars are being returned to repair centres, which is not the case). BUT Sam doesn’t yet seem to have twigged that when Musk said he was all in on robotaxis he actually meant it. He didn’t mean as well as everything else, he meant instead of everything else. If you spend $20k’ish to make and sell a $25k Model 2, you might make £3k profit on the sale, plus a handful of dollars a month on subscriptions. If you spend $20k on a Cybercab and deploy it as part of the Tesla robotaxi fleet you make at least $25K A YEAR in taxi fees. Makes no sense to make any more Tesla cars or to install any more Superchargers, every production facility should be making Cybercabs. Ah, except, you need to finish V12, get governed permissions, create the app infrastructure, build facilities to clean, repair and charge Cybercabs etc etc. So they need to pretend to be still interested in regular cars to keep the revenue coming in while they transition, but they will be ruthless in how they do that. So no Model 2 as was expected, perhaps no Mexican plant, no more new Superchargers, no more advertising for regular cars, no new service centres. They may created a Model 2.5, a cut down Model 3 hatchback with cheaper roof, cheaper seats, smaller batteries, smaller motor which can be built on current lines and sold for say under $30k. Sam is busy fighting the old war, the one about no staff cuts, no supercharger cuts, no hold on new methods, $25k M2 still inbound etc etc. Mentally Musk has moved on already but some of his management are trying to slow him down (for good and understandable reasons) with some sadly suffering the consequences.
Musk said "Reuters is lying (again)". He never said that they were making things up, or that they were mistaken. Come on Sam, no more PC plays. There is no mistake here. He's directly saying that they're lying, that they are intentionally not telling the truth, that they are choosing to be dishonest. Then he ads "again", saying quite plainly that this is a repeat offense and that these buggers can't be trusted because they make a habit of lying to their readers. Truth is absolute, it is binary. There is no such thing as a half-truth. Facts are either provably accurate or not. It's simple. I wish people, Sam included, would take a page out of Elon's book and call a spade a spade. They're lying. Straight up. No bull. They're lying. Reuters are liars, and anyone trusting their reports are fools for tolerating liars.
You’re a liar.

@@TradeWithShawnthe only person lying is Elon through intentionally misleading people that the entire Reuters article is not only inaccurate but intentionally so.
Wtf is wrong with reuters 😂
I don't think it matters what Reuters post. Tesla frequently changes their plans. All automakers do. Everyone does. i don't see how single piece casting could be compatible with unboxed, which requires easy arm reach access to every part of the car during assembly. One piece would just be too big to work.
You are approaching the situation with logic. The kind of logic that assumes you can’t have an air-hockey-table in vacuum. Elon’s brain uses a different type of logic and the down under viking has caught it. Together with millions of fans.
WHO believes Reuters Tesla news?
Tesla is redoing thing all the time, changing how and what to do, so when reuters are telling BS on Tesla, I guess they are cofused, they are not the "stand still" do as you have done 10years. I guess fx the supercharger team has to be reeranged, remember Tesla are a big company, so many things has to function toghether. The model "2" I think will be produced in Mexico, and that factory are beeing buidt now, could take a year or 2 I think. A new factory are beeing builtd in Nevada they are doing the ground works. Tesla Berlin have had ptoblems with a group saying the the do not want Tesla to groth, but are the protesting against ice to? I do not think so. Best wh. from Sweden.
Not a lot of credibility to what Elon Musk says either... And why is the Model Y not facelifted yet when the demand is cooling and the competition is gearing up?
Demand ain't cooling what's cooling is the fact that the first quarter is winter in the northern hemisphere and ALLLLLL car sales are down happens every year at that time . Learn what seasonality means
