Real bad day at TESLA! Oooops!

[skookerasbil]

LOL The high performance Tesla 3 will leave your Mustang in the dust on corners or the quarter mile. And do so with no noise and no appearance of effort. LOL

And leave the track on a flatbed! Those Type S's break down all the time.....nothing to do with the batteries either. I drive a blue oval.... can beat the piss out of it and it never stops running.

On the highway, every person will notice my car when it roars by....nobody recognizes the Tesla from an Altima! Lol....nobody says, "Wow....check out that Tesla there!".

I'm going to a 600 car car show this morning down by the ocean. We might see 3 Teslas there!!

Tesla Model S owners reported their car’s reliability has improved in Consumer Reports' latest survey, giving the EV sedan its first above-average rating.

Because of the Model S’s improved rating, the all-new Tesla Model 3 EV predicted reliability rating also has improved, rising to average in CR's rankings. That's because Tesla’s less expensive Model 3 borrows much of its technology from its bigger brother.

Tesla Model S Owners Report Improved Reliability

 

[Old Rocks]

The Hot Rod gang clocked a time of 11.83 seconds at 119.51 mph. That was the best time of the day, but the guys report that the Mustang GT consistently posted high-11s with ease. The test vehicle was a brand-new, bone-stock Mustang GT equipped with the optional 10-speed automatic transmission and the Performance Package, which brings 460 horses, 420 lb-ft of torque and sticky Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires. That's an improvement of 25 horses and 20 lb-ft over last year's model.
2018 Ford Mustang GT Acceleration - New Mustang Quarter-Mile Time

Even without the Performance Upgrade, the Tesla Model 3 Performance is capable of sprinting from 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, thanks to its dual motors that produce a combined 450 hp and 471 lb-ft of torque. The Model 3 Performance is designed to compete against other high-performance sedans like the BMW M3, but in true Tesla fashion, the electric car is proving to be a legitimate competition to cars above its class. Just recently, the Model 3 Performance raced a McLaren 570S on the quarter mile, and it gave the British-made “baby” supercar a run for its money.

As its battle against the Corvette C7 reveals, the Model 3 Performance is quick enough to give the Chevrolet a good battle, and then some. The in-car video of the drag race between the two vehicles showcased the electric car’s explosive launch, which immediately allowed the Tesla to leave the C7 behind. The electric car just continued pulling from that point, finishing the quarter-mile run in 11.74 seconds at 114.12 mph. The Corvette C7 completed the race in 13.28 seconds at 113.19 mph.

The Mustang loses. And that is with the little Tesla. A P100D will leave the Mustang wondering where it went.

A Corvette running a 13.28 second quarter mile? Fixed race, fake news. That is the only way a Tesla wins anything. C7 Corvettes consistently run the 1/4 mile in the 11 sec range. That is your basic vette, add performance upgrades from the factory and you are running in the 10 sec range.

And to be fair, the Tesla would have to win, 2 out of 3 drag races! Ha, ha, ha, The Tesla can not do that, race three times back to back against a C7 Vette and win. But as I say, the Vette is an 11 second car, not 13!

Or how about running a Tesla on a race track, against the same Corvette? It is not done cause the Tesla loses. A simple google search turns up all the facts, try it old crock.

Your really haven't a clue about superconductors and plasma energy... when they meet... do you know what happens?

supercapacitors store electrical energy.

lightening is plasma energy.. how are you converting it?

Every few months there is an idiot who thinks you could store as many Kilowatt hours in a capacitor as a battery or even as much energy as in a car`s gas tank. The world`s largest capacitor is in a Lab in Dresden Germany:

And it can store only 50 MJ. which is not quite 14 Kilowatt hours. No matter how often you point that out, there is no end to the kind of stupidity which is typical for the CO2 wing-nuts. But realities such as this one to them is just one more example of "science denial" and oil lobby conspiracies.

Technology is improving all the time. And, multistory buildings could be used.

Technology is improving all the time. And, multistory buildings could be used
And exactly how is the technology supposed to "improve" C= 8.85* 10^(-12) * Area/ distance ?
First you claimed capacitors could be used to power cars and now it`s "multistory buildings" for what?
Like a 1000 floor building to keep just 100 houses supplied for 1 single hour?

Capacitor technology is improving all the time as well.

And, how about Empire State Capacitor buildings?

every city should have one.

Actually s0n....youd be the liar. Your shit is consistently fake.

"Increased reliability" is using fakery with semantics to create a false perception. You do it all the time and everybody knows it too. It's the way of all progressives.

"Increased reliability" does not mean "reliable". But nobody should take my word for it....check CR where my brother has been in senior management for 25+ years.

Tesla is most definitely not a reliable car by industry standards....and as a couple of us pointed out in an article written in the NY Post last week, just 14% of their cars get to the end of the production line with 0 defects = lowest in the industry! Well documented in here.

The Tesla as a brand sucks compared to the rest of the market.....not debatable unless one is a mental case!

Should I post up last years sales #'s? Mustang vs Tesla S?

Tesla is an exceedingly tiny sliver of the car market.....tiny.....Ford sold waaaaay more Focus sedans in 2017 than all Tesla models combined.

Nobody wants these cars except the social oddballs of the world.

 

[Old Rocks]

The proper car to compare to the Mustang is the Tesla 3. The S is a much more expensive luxury vehicle. And the Tesla 3 has 420,000 back orders. How many does the Mustang have?

 

[Old Rocks]

Looks like a Tesla S can do multiple runs with no problems.

Stocks tank! Exec's quit. Panic at Tesla!

Chaos Erupts At Tesla: Stock Crashes, Bonds Implode After Heads Of Accounting, HR Quit

Well duh.....when nobody cares about electric vehicles, the folks slowly start to realize they've been had!! Musk....what a fraud.

Why is this good? Tesla is a American business. You hate Musk this much? The guy has balls, and miss steps from time to time. Space X was was outside of the NASA models, shame on you people. Petty minded jerks.

You people still dont understand how Americans think. Progressives always are dismissing how the traditional minded boring, petty I'll informed Americans think. That's why their head is still exploded about the President. They dont get that this is how America thinks.

Where is there ANY evidence that Americans are embracing EV's?? Show us the evidence.....and please with links that compare EV's to conventional vehicles.

Americans love their Accords, Altima's, Malibus, Camrys.....they are very, very happy with them. They think EV's are ghey.....like the truck owners and the SUV owners!!! Ask any Challenger, Mustang or Camaro guy if they'll ever buy a Tesla?

Need proof?

Go take a 20 mile cruise down any highway today.....count how many EV's you see. Then count conventional cars!!

 

[Old Rocks]

Are there 400,000 back orders for any of those cars you mentioned? As Tesla ramps up manufacture, you will see more and more of the Tesla's on the road. Kind of like the hybrids you ridiculed years ago. Now you see them everywhere. And may different brands of them. The EV's will replace the ICE's right across the board.

Johnson estimates that the Model 3 cancellation rate is as high as 66%. He notes that out of 582,000 early reservations for the vehicle, only 197,000 have resulted in sales. He writes that net orders for Model 3 cars increased by a "dismal" 5,000 units over the eight-month period from July 31, 2017, to May 2, 2018—or just 139 cars a week.

"In short, we surmise that either Model 3 cancellation rates have spiked from the initial euphoria period of March 31, 2016, to April 30, 2016, or new reservations have virtually disappeared," Johnson writes. This is bad news for Tesla, he adds. Assuming the company reaches its production target of 5,000 cars a week in the second quarter, Tesla will have exhausted all preorders by the first quarter of next year.

Tesla: Where Did All Those Pre-Orders Go?

 

[Old Rocks]

Tesla still has about 455,000 pre orders for the Tesla 3. with about 1800 new orders per day. What other car company has anything like those numbers on a single model?

Tesla saw about 63,000 cancellations of Model 3 preorders

 

[Old Rocks]

The Tesla 3 averages about $50,000 a copy. Tesla has about 455,000 preorders. That is over 22 billion dollars worth of preorders. I don't think that Tesla is in trouble.

Impressive.
They must be making huge profits!
What was their profit last quarter?

 

[Old Rocks]

Profit per Tesla 3 looks pretty good.

Awesome!
How much did they earn last quarter?

 

[Old Rocks]

Tesla is in the process of building their automotive company. There will be many more quarters of negative income, but rising revenues, to come. But, at some point, they will be making a very solid profit. They are hardly the first company to have a decade or so of negative income as they built the company.
