  1. Totally correct, but Sandy has to work with these people so a bit of diplomacy is probably a good idea from his point of view.

  2. Please provide the evidence for your claims about the Lucid powertrain. (Given that no cars have been made available).

  3. Give him $70,000 and he’ll tell you.

  4. Nobody has ever claimed that. The claim is that they require LESS maintenance. Please provide your best example of someone claiming that EVs don’t require any maintenance. You claim it’s “everybody” so you shouldn’t have any problem providing examples.

  5. The point is the code only has to be written once. Mechanically locking the transmission requires components in every car.

  6. Good question, I saw quite a few FoMoco logos on the castings but I don’t know if that means anything.

  7. They have to keep them going somehow!

  8. You obviously haven’t watched many of these videos! 🤣

  9. You’re right, but you’ve missed the point.

  10. Nobody knows yet.

  11. 1) They know what parts they already have in the parts bins. 2) They don’t want to appear clueless, so they maintain a facade of knowing exactly what they’re doing.

  12. Where did you hear that?

  13. I’m guessing it’s a design adapted from something else. I predict every Mach-E will be sold at a loss.

  14. Their motivation is completely different.

  15. A recurring theme with Elon is going back to base principles to make something that works and then refining over time. It’s possible they will do this in the future, the difference is they’ll know precisely what the trade-offs are.

  16.  @AudiTTQuattro2003  Tesla battery packs currently last over 500,000 miles, the LFP packs will last well over 1,000,000 miles. You appear to be totally ignorant of this. Imagine my shock.

  17. The difference is that EVs will get steadily better. ICE are as good as they’re going to get.

  18. If they do, all they do is destroy their ICE car sales.

  19.  @wolkowicki1  The same applies to the Lightning, if they make it too good, they destroy the sales of their F-150s.

  20. I’m guessing it’s just adapted/copied from somewhere else.

  21. Except they won’t improve as fast as Tesla, and they’re already behind now.
