Tesla’s new car-building process could be a huge industrial breakthrough
/ Tesla is close to implementing a new die-cast process that could significantly reduce costs and simplify vehicle manufacturing beyond the abilities of the rest of the industry.- instead of repairing / replacing one of the 400 parts of the frame, the entire thing is trash now? any minor changes requires an entire new mold.imbecile
- the energy required to pour and safely cure something so large would be immense. how much does tesla pay for these articles?imbecile
- instead of having an idea and laughing at it, busky goes full throttle.doesnotexist

- i_monk with the ass backwards response, congrats dummyimbecile
- Can’t tell if this guy is butthurt, but it does feel like a lot of Tesla owners suddenly have a problem with the basic free marketnb
- Also: Tesla owner discovers that vehicles lose a ton of value the minute they’re off the lot. But whyyyyyynb

New Tesla Model 3 is officially out. Looking good.
I don't care about Elon, Tesla is much more than him.

- basically the same old dreary design with a few newish bits stuck on here and there.hans_glib
- it's an evolution of design just like Apple does with the iPhone since a decadeNBQ00
- I think it looks great. + new tech upgradesNBQ00
- Never buy a new car. Why?shapesalad
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and other toxic chemicals constitute the new car smell.shapesalad
- VOC fumes emanate from glues, paints, vinyls, and plastics inside new cars.shapesalad
- They can trigger headaches, sore throats, nausea, and drowsiness. Studies have found 50-60 different VOCs in new cars.shapesalad
- Buy used, and let someone else leach out those VOCs.shapesalad
- tail-light form is boring..blows the whole car ....neverscared
- It's a nice update overall.. but they took the sticks away? So there's even less tactile analogue-ish control? wtf? Do these people actually drive?Nairn

Tesla Model 3 refresh (project "Highland") is just around the corner. It will look more like the new Roadster in the front and back. And will be cheaper too while stuff like battery tech improved. Looks promising from what I've seen in the leaks and rumors.
- Now they just need to get rid of Lonnie and his #1 supporter and sometimes friend with benefits hotroddyBuddhaHat
- around the corner is 10 years in Elon time right?jonny_quest_lives
- No it's already in production and should be revealed this fall.NBQ00

The top reason that they are selling their cars and switching to a different brand is due to their issues with Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk.
The disapproval of Elon Musk is the top reason Tesla Model 3 owners are selling their electric vehicles and going for another brand, according to a new survey of 5,000 Model 3 owners.
Since Musk acquired Twitter, the Tesla CEO has started to voice his political and social views more frequently, as well as share controversial conspiracy theories.This has resulted in a wave of people changing their minds about Musk, especially people on the left side of the American political spectrum. Many have suggested this has a negative impact on Tesla, which is intricately linked to Musk.

- LoL
As I say man, you offer no value here.
I suppose Elon gets that rich people socialism you like so much.
You'll always be a bootlickerPhanLo - The funniest point here is that hotroddy doesn't even understand the difference between a paid muralist and a throwie.garbage

- lol of course you can't see beyond today. did his daddy not make money in south africa before the 90s? knobby? who benefited?pango
- I might not be sucking up to Saudi's and pretending to be a free speech advocate, but I feel if my artwork has helped inspire even 5 people, it's been worth itPhanLo

- I'm reminding you for your own good. Also, the world would be a much better place if the Shah remained in power.hotroddy
- Iran was wealthy and pro-west. But since the Revolution, hundreds of thousands of highly skilled Iranians have emigrated.hotroddy
- I advise you not to mention your justification for a theocracy to any Irianian you encounter.hotroddy
- speaking of 'empathy' sounds like you have zero of it for the thousand of Iranians that were persecuted and killed (for being christian or jewish).hotroddy
- * not killed but persecuted, losing their businesses and culture forced to leave everything behind.hotroddy
- I do have sympathy for them but you reap the seeds you sow. 2 wrong dont have it right but person who did the first wrong had no say in what's right lol.pango

- ..is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. I'm not kidding, I actually think you are three parts insecure, one part learning disability.garbage
- You don't even have the most basic grasp of the things that drag you to an obscure website where nobody likes you.garbage
- it doesn't benefit the rich (ie people who produce unlike your sorry ass ) it only benefits the politicians.hotroddy
- which group doesn't benefit the politicians? tell me? cuz they can benefit from poor, mic class, and rich. which group doesn't politicians benefit from?pango

Tesla recalling nearly 16,000 of its 2021-2023 Model S and Model X
- mg330
fisheye,
It's so funny you posted that. Last week, I heard someone comment on how dated the Tesla design is already. Once they said that, every time I saw one I couldn't unsee it. I've always been indifferent to them and probably enjoyed the interior and the digital UI than the outside, from the few times I've been in Uber's that were Teslas.
But now I find it crazy that they haven't redesigned the cars AT ALL. Every one on the road feels like a design that's a decade old.
- I guess everyone sees the UI part of the car, including me. I wonder what would be an outcome if the designer Lesnik from Mercedes Benz would be involved...fisheye
- ... this is exactly the vibe I would go forfisheye
- Wouldnt buy a tesla for the looks. Would be buying it for the supercharger network and associated tech.microkorg
- The electric Mercedes look like trash. A new tesla design is coming soon, there are leaked photos online.Frosty_spl
- @Frosty The point is elsewhere.fisheye
- Why would a redesign be needed? Just for the novelty? Innovation never sleeps?
Redesigning is just part of the market model.palimpsest - There are finally a few decent-looking EV's, but until recently the S was the nicest, by far, looking EV on the market.formed
- Tesla has been super smart - unique designs gives them a brand presence, even if most aren't that good looking (stll better than crap like the Mustang E).formed
- If sustainability is part of the brand a sustainable design is one that doesn't need to be updated every year.palimpsest

With all the money Musk has, he could hire word’s top car designers and make cars on way higher level design wise.
As I observe them on the streets for a while now, I think more and more that Elon did the concept sketches and had anyone who suggested anything different shot in front of the designers. It seem to me the cars are like something that Elon would design. Or something that is designed like Elon. They have everything but class, style, emotion, statement. Those cars just look so generic. If tested I would probably think it’s Hyundai or Kia. He could really hire the best one or the best one hundred industrial designers in the world.- I think putting the best 100 designers together would be a fucking disaster. Can you imagine the flouncy diva tantrums. Automotive designers are the worst.Morning_star
- Tesla designs, like all Musks concepts is like something out of Robocop 2PhanLo

"A unique uncontacted tribe could be wiped out by a massive Indonesian project to produce nickel for electric car batteries.
A vast mining scheme on the island of Halmahera is part of Indonesia’s plan to become a major producer of electric car batteries – a plan into which Tesla and other companies are pouring billions of dollars.
But nickel mining is set to destroy vast areas of the forested interior of Halmahera. These forests are inhabited by 300-500 uncontacted members of the Hongana Manyawa tribe. If mining goes ahead as planned, they will not survive the destruction."
