@petersilva037 Месяц назад

What folks heard: model 2 is cancelled! What they actually said: We're working on a platform that will work with assembly lines in our current factories. We don't need to build a new factory, and we should be able to start production of new models (including model 2) quicker this way. How the mainstream can so thoroughly mis-understand what management team says in a conference call is mind boggling. I listened to the call... Tesla announced that they stopped building a separate factory to build the model 2 because they have enough room to build using the existing lines. They are making a next generation platform for the model 2 and the robotaxi, and they hinted at other models on the same platform, and they will build them on the current lines, so they might even come out ... they said... this year. There are a few concessions in the platform to make it compatible with the current assembly lines. so... the model 2 isn't cancelled at all. It might even be accellerated.

The MSM jump on anything that can be misconstrued as negative. 99% of people have no idea of the rapid progress of FSD since the roll out of v12. I'm surprised that Robert is not better informed rather than showing his ignorance or indifference to the massive disruption which is about to happen.

9:57 I do not like pickups but I am French, I have no need for a pickup, it would just be a pain to drive and park. But trucks are the most sold vehicles in the USA so Tesla had to have one for EVs to continue to take shares in the US. At least people can chose to buy a model 3 ou Y or S or X or a CT, and with time let's hope US citizens will buy more sedans than trucks. Regarding a Tesla cheaper than the model 3 it is not so easy to answer because it is not clear what a cheaper car than a model 3 is. A smaller car implies a new production line so huge investments, so the best way for now could be to just make the model 3 cheaper. Furthermore I think individual cars have no future in cities, and 80% of Europeans live in cities. In cities we need large sidewalks, secured bike lanes, good public transportation, and shared cars or taxis. So do we need a small city car ? For who ? To conclude I think a robotaxi is a better choice than a smaller Tesla, with of course always cheaper versions of the model 3. Because I think we need cheap electric taxis for when a car is needed, in low density areas, but also sometimes in cities. Because I think as long as FSD works the investment for vision based robotaxis is low with high profits. And because I think FSD will work fine and be safer than humans. However it does not mean it will be easy, but if Tesla had only played safe we would not have so many EVs on the road nowadays, not from Tesla and so not from other brands as well.

They didn't *have* to sell a truck and they certainly didn't *have* to sell this 3 tonne monstrosity even if they did. This is all on them as are any injuries or deaths these vehicles cause. Though I suspect Musk simply doesn't care. I am just glad this garbage likely won't see the light of day in Europe and many other regions.

@alexhouseman Месяц назад

It's actually not a surprise. Musk has a definite pattern - setting companies the task of solving very difficult problems so that they maintain an advantage over the competition. Building a basic smaller EV now that everyone has copied the giga-casting methods they pioneered in car-making is not going to cut it. High voltage EV drive train and batteries, 48V Lo-voltage architecture, ethernet; All these are will now be copied and will not be a competitive advantage. FSD is the differentiator for a few years if they can crack it.

@danharold3087 Месяц назад

@@alexhouseman Exactly. As long as the Chinese governments are willing to spend money to own EV manufacturing the only path forwards for Tesla automotive is falling profits. Eventually negative profits. Not saying a limited time recovery from the current problem is impossible. For that matter China may stop heavily subsidizing its cars. In short Tesla set out to accelerate EV adoption and it has succeeded. It doesn't have to make all the cars. Things looked much differently when they announced the goal of 20 million. Better to pivot to AI and license the software that runs the software defined car. Then if and when automotive is no longer profitable it is no longer the bulk of the company. Note energy is at 25%

What's relevant is.. Are they safer than human drivers? @tedmoss is suggesting they're 15 times safer. That's sounds optimistic to me but I'm guessing that they are safer now, or very soon will be.

To do what ? Supermarkets are not on highways between cites. And they often have "accelerate charging" (eg 11 kW) or at best 50 kW fast charging. How could you do a 1000 km trip with "supermarkets" ? Regarding the price, superchargers are cheap regarding the costs, and it is probably why Tesla is making a break in the expansion to deal with less sales. But if you do not need superchargers and if you have less expansive alternatives, it is great ; but please understand that other people have other needs.

REPEATING MEDIA MISREPORTING There have been various wrong conclusions that are circulating despite recent clarification by Tesla in the Q1 earnings call. ○ Tesla priority is autonomous taxies, but they are ALSO going to make several smaller car models. ○ They are making smaller cars SOONER than planned (rather than being cancelled). ○ What is POSTPONED is their ideal small car design, to make small cars sooner they will use a slightly less advanced design. ○ A model suitable for taxis MAY also be suitable as private cars. They are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

8:30 Tesla Model 2 cancelation. Several days ago we found out that the real reason is they plan to produce the vehicle earlier. They want to use existing factories because world demand is down. By using unused capacity in existing factories they could be producing vehicles this year, but more realistically 2025H1. They plan to use it as the platform for multiple vehicles. This was stated pretty clearly in the earnings call.

@logicalChimp Месяц назад

Iirc they also stated that it would be based on the Model 3, rather than being a 'new platform' (which is what the 2 was going to be)... in that sense, Reuters is correct... the 'planned' next-gen model 2 has been shelved, in favour of a 'cheaper' model 3 built on the current production lines. Tesla still produce a cheaper EV (good), but not a 'smaller' EV (not so good).

Ah , yes, but ... who can take Elon seriously these days? All of a sudden we learn he's closed down his supercharging department and tells all drivers of any car that they'll have to fend for themselves. When you have a bloke in charge of "anything" with such a capricious nature then it's a bit of a worry to staff and shareholders alike. His so called "management" of Twitter should have been a wake up call to all and sundry that Elon does things on a whim sort of thing. There again he certainly is consistent when it comes to "downsizing" his workforce. For all we know elements of his workforce might well be snapped up by other manufacturers on an information mining expedition. You couldn't blame ex Tesla staff for feeling just a little miffed and consequently happy to "share" Tesla secrets despite any NDA contracts.

Back in the 70s the Saudis jacked the price of oil to $40/bbl ... it caused pandemonium and the 3-day week. So here we are today with oil around $85/bbl, and it has been a lot more than that in recent memory. Get used to the idea that oil at $200 will become the expected norm.

Apparently, Lidl has the 2nd highest number of charge points in France 😮 (rapid I presume). Charging at supermarkets makes very much sense. I am just wondering if 22kW instead might be sufficient as most current and up-coming EVs will have 11-22kW on-board AC charging capability.

News with an added dash of comedy by Robert. I'd love to see him do this as Kryten, as this subject is undoubtedly close to his mechanical heart.

@andrewknott9379 Месяц назад

ABN is the most enjoyable way to keep abreast of the important Alternative Energy news, especially 'Roberts Rants'! Looking at the UK ERC peak supply report mentioned it's a bit scary to see they conclude that "Forecasts that delay the peak of conventional oil production until after 2030 rest upon several assumptions that are at best optimistic and at worst implausible"..... Yikes.....

"I'm going to ask Helen about that." What a privilege to have such a fantastic physicist available to answer your really hard questions. You are Sooooo lucky Robert. As an aside to answer your question - I live alone, so I am one of those who just want a small electric car. But one that can, when needed, run for long trips on a hot summer day, so about 300km at 110kph with A/C on, is indicated. I gather this is really not an unusual request, most of ICE cars around where I live are pretty small. What I do *not* want is a mid-sized car, or one of the MANY big electric SUVs we keep getting pushed at us.

please have more public ac charges... its really easy and the locals need them ... they should be ubiquitous

@MikeHarEV Месяц назад

All depends on cost. I used to use Tesco ac regularly when shopping and BP Pulse AC in council car parks. Now they cost to much and they sit empty most of the time. People used to see them full, probably making people think EV demand has fallen.

@martinhughes9115 Месяц назад

a bit behind on the tesla piece. Listen to the announcements on the latest earnings call and mention in your next news.

@crispynoges Месяц назад

This should not have been published. The Tesla story was plain wrong. I knew the model 2 was still coming 2 days before the video was put online. Also by then the massive cuts at the Tesla Superchargers were over a day old.

@simonpaine2347 Месяц назад

I saw a YT video about the latest tech pylon cables. (Just have a think...I think) The new cables simply replace the existing ones, but are capable of transmitting way more power, so this will probably/hopefully help with the demand issues.

@Hybridog Месяц назад

Just watch the video - it's excellent as usual for Just Have A Think. Those new cables will have a HUGE positive effect on the grids. The name of the clip is "Rethinking electricity grids."

@EP-bb1rm Месяц назад

It's more than just cables being replaced. It's also the insulation and structure. You can't just add voltage and weight for no impact.

@simonpaine2347 Месяц назад

@@EP-bb1rm I'm guessing that you haven't watched the video.

@t1n4444 Месяц назад

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hmm ... new cables that can transmit more power you say? Was there any science offered in the clip? Why not Google up national grid transformers, why they exist, and how they work. You might Google up the efficiency of transformers while you're at it to understand why transformers are a "good thing". Always a good idea to fact check any info given by so called experts. Plus might be a good idea to Google up "transmission line" theory too. And why national grid transmission lines are AC, extremely high voltage and not much current. Think "power". Hope that helps.

@mrslowly9985 Месяц назад

It's not a demand issue, it's a supply issue. The supply must meet the demand for the grid to work and using only solar and wind will never- even under the best conditions for them - produce enough energy to meet demand. For this reason 'net zero' policies won't work, but if you really want clean air- go nuclear.

@onbedoeldekut1515 Месяц назад

18:50 did you mean high ionic conductivity or high iconic conductivity? The first one makes more sense to me.

@cmw3737 Месяц назад

I do a lot of my shopping at Tesco purely because there is a Tesla supercharger round the corner. Rapid chargers should be like WIFI and subsidized to bring in customers. I'm not going to shop somewhere that charges 75p/KWh

Careful Robert, many of your viewers are huge Elon/Tesla fans. The robotaxi and the cheap model 2 are one and the same. If you have a look at some of the videos of FSD and it is very impressive and already much safer than a human driver. You should be excited about it; when you’re old and infirm you’ll be able to get anywhere in your Model 3. 😂

@alaneasthope2357 Месяц назад

The other point about oil extraction is when the amount of energy needed to extract it is greater than the yield itself, which is why many remote oil fields remain untouched. Using 5 barrels of oil to extract 4 barrels worth is not viable.

@mrslowly9985 Месяц назад

So you put a barrel of oil on the ground and magically it turns into an extraction facility?! Or the energy cost to make the materials is making the extraction less profitable. We are paying more per kWh with renewables than we ever did with just coal,gas or nuclear- even the power companies are stating without government support they wouldn't invest in renewable energy.

@bikeman123 Месяц назад

The only thing we know for certain is that the Model 2 wont be £20k. I doubt it will even be £25k.

12:48 oil: lubricants, plastics, pharmaceuticals… mind if less is used for transport then it frees up more for non combustion purposes.

@timo23 Месяц назад

Our Tesco chargers in Northamptonshire were previously free, Pod points in other locations now all charge here too, and they didn't wind up the cost slowly either. It was always going to happen, I'm surprised Robert can find them.
