Adam Varga + 123 AV December 27, 2017 Demand for Tesla’s entry-level car is high but the firm is struggling with production and taking big financial hits. How will it end for Tesla? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP December 27, 2017 Tesla is having big problems with Model 3. The production of this car is going slower than expected. They are three months behind schedule. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV December 27, 2017 Every day all we hear about is Tesla did this, Tesla did that. But it seems like they are trying to get our attention away from problems in this company. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selva + 252 SP December 27, 2017 Tesla lost a lot of money at the very beginning of the production because they were rushing to get this model on the market as soon as possible. That's why this model is crucial for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP December 27, 2017 I agree. Now investors are considering whether to continue to fund Tesla or not. Even that will depend on the progress of the Model 3. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV December 27, 2017 What progress? Better say trouble. That is what follows Tesla right now if we could believe to Wall Street firm KeyBanc. And they are predicting Model 3 margin ramp will disappoint. "Investors will have to acknowledge no [Model] S/X growth at some point, which is not reflected in the shares."

Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK January 4, 2018 Tesla's Model 3 crossed North America from Los Angeles to New York in record time, in 50 hours, 10 minutes and 32 seconds. And who did hold the previous record? Tesla's Model S, of course, who else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV January 10, 2018 It seems that Tesla has another problem with Model 3. According to one of car owners, the automatically activated windshield wipers are flinging water onto them when opening the door. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavel + 384 PP January 10, 2018 The car wash would be a great test Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP January 10, 2018 I hate automatic . I love my old car with manual wipers. On when I want, with the speed I want and off when I want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV January 10, 2018 As far as I know, all cars with rain sensing wipers can be set to off manually or any of the various intervals you are already used to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pavel + 384 PP January 10, 2018 I assume you have designed one and manufactured. Can't wait to see it. Where can I look for it ? Can I call you Pera The Expert,hahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP January 10, 2018 Very funny, Pav. I will let you know when I finish " the project"... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selva + 252 SP January 10, 2018 Why would wipers get turned on when the door opens? Shouldn’t they go on once the car is turned on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavel + 384 PP January 10, 2018 Yes, the car turns on when you use your key card to unlock it, or when the car senses you are near it because you have your phone (which it’s connected to) with you, or if you open the door. Tesla just has to disable that wiper cycle, or disable the wipers all together if the door is open. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK January 16, 2018 We didn't have to wait too much for another improvement on Model 3. Elon Musk promised that drivers will be able to do "pretty much anything" via voice controls. This happened after an expression of concern about safety by requiring drivers to spend too much time looking at and touching the control screen.

Selva + 252 SP January 16, 2018 That would be nice. At least we wouldn't have to stare at the screen all the time while driving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV January 16, 2018 Wouldn't that be distracting as much as the control screen. What if I don't pronounce English correctly? Will it understand my command? And while waiting and watching to be sure it understood me, I would probably look at the screen anyway for confirmation and be distracted from driving.

Addy + 14 AW January 16, 2018 Yeah, if Siri or text to speech is any indication... we're in trouble. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
