Tesla dual motor means there is a motor in front & a motor in rear. One is optimized for power & one for range. Car drives fine even if a motor breaks down. Helps ensure you make it to your destination & don’t get stuck on side of road in potentially unsafe conditions.

Elon can you please release some news on the standard battery.. When would people be able to order the 35$ version of the model 3? Great specs on the AWD version. Thank you
With production, 1st you need achieve target rate & then smooth out flow to achieve target cost. Shipping min cost Model 3 right away wd cause Tesla to lose money & die. Need 3 to 6 months after 5k/wk to ship $35k Tesla & live.

Makes complete sense-- why would you ship a low margin product ahead of higher margin products, especially without scale. When are next-gen superchargers going to be unveiled?
-
Exactly! Will probably unveil next gen Supercharger late summer. Major improvements all round.
-
Any plans to increase the X tow capacity?
-
It can tow far more than rated capacity
-
Wait... it just towed a jetliner... what more do you want? What about 500 elephants wearing tutus on rollerskates? Will that please you
@trace_remick ? -
Actually... come to think about it-- 500 elephants in tutus on rollerskates behind a model X would be pretty fantastic.

I don't get why people don't understand Tesla. I love your new focus on profitability as if you don't know how to run a profitable company. I swear I think the world has Amnesia. Best thing to come out of that CC was your confidence and New Direction with the business model!
-
Hahaha thank you... I love this guy... Does so much for the world.. and does it in style.. I hope to meet him some day with my son...

There it is. Shipping a $35K model would cause
$TSLA to "lose money & die." Lots to unpack there.pic.twitter.com/7zq2zQEqMu

increased customisation is normally not the path to manufacturing 'smooth' and efficiently
-
Dangling the carrot of a 35k car and then disappointing the suckers is not an efficient way to run a Ponzi-like stock promotion scheme, either.

Perhaps you should have mentioned this during the reveal? I put in a deposit.

After telling everyone in March/April 2016 reveal that the cost would be $35k, you know admit that this would bankrupt
$TSLA . Well guess what? No one will buy that scant, Trabant-style M3 for 78k when they can buy Jaguar iPace -
You had accused Solyndra’s CEOs of being too optimistic in the final months of that BANKRUPT company. The same accusation holds for you - you are being too optimistic and not honest enough with your investors about Tesla’s finances. I will short
$TSLA till BK.

This seems like very material information, especially the last sentence. Interesting nonetheless, thanks for the update!
