@Timmy #Tesla is the first company switching to a vastly more compact (and thus cheaper / faster to build) dry process. It's already in use in some of their vehicles at #GigaAustin, but it's been a long hard slog to bring it into production, and it's still small scale (dry process sounds so simple but there's tons of bedevilling details).

Hope that helps!

@Timmy In recent quarters #Tesla's two new factories - #GigaBerlin and #GigaAustin - have been holding back their margins. Because new factories always do - you have to amortize a lot of cost with low production. But as production scales, new factories turn from margin sinks to margin boosts. And this is happening with two factories simultaneously.

It's not all roses - Tesla's third major market is #China, and their economy is cratering right now. I expect more price stimulus there...

@timowensby@ioc.exchange @hackerfactor @alexwinter #Semi, Tim. Yet another in a long line of, "Muahaha, Tesla will never make that!" vehicles. Tesla Semi is the one that just entered serial production, starting deliveries on 1 December.

#Cybertruck starts next year. And there has not been "a" prototype, there have been many, and as mentioned, the line is being tooled right now at #GigaAustin.

And as I mentioned before, I'm no fan of #ElonMusk. So you can back off on your hostility.

And yes, I was there watching as people like you said there was going to be no #TeslaRoadster. Then no #TeslaModelS. Then no #Model3. Then no ModelY. #TeslaSemi deliveries are just about to start, that was supposed to not exist either. Do you ever tire of being wrong?
