“Tesla priority is electrification of cars, so priority is Model S, Model X, then mass market third gen vehicle & truck”
“@themodel3guy You’re welcome. Sorry for the delay. Only just got back from Gigafactory. Will be at our Fremont factory in the morning. Tesla team is going all out.”
“Battery pack swap works with all Tesla Model S cars, past and present. It was always there.”
“RT @LinkN01: In March 2026 there were 70,663 EV's registered in Germany, Tesla had almost 10% of that market. And Model Y was the best-sell…”
“@tomkiss Probably mid next year before we are able to make RHD. Wish it could be sooner. Maybe try a Model S, used or new in the meantime? Used S is better than a new 3 imo, unless you want a smaller car.”
“RT @depression2019: I just got a model Y and I’m mad at how much I like it. It’s so good”
“@AndredAlmeida Yeah, Model 3 is designed to fit 6’4” adults comfortably in both front & rear seats at same time”
“@DMC_Ryan @loganthefirst Also, not promising anything, but we *might* be able to increase Model 3 Performance power output a little”
“@DMC_Ryan @loganthefirst Complexity is the devil. Words can’t express how hard we are working on the Model 3 production ramp & trying to get to profitability. But we’ll try.”
“There will ultimately be tens of millions of driverless Teslas throughout the world giving rides 24/7 https://t.co/zWK5dHy75e”
“@flcnhvy @hoofhrtd1254 @Teslatunity @Model3Owners Agreed”
“Other trucks look badass, Cybertruck actually is https://t.co/5DufWfoOAA”
“@Heretic_Soul @Model3Owners Leasing negatively effects Tesla cash flow, so we prob won’t offer Model 3 leases for 6 to 9 months. Loan financing is a better deal anyway, as bank conservatism for new car models is v conservative about residual value, but Teslas have always had strong residual value.”
“@Teslatunity @Model3Owners There aren’t really meant to be “Tesla incentives”, just general price changes to reflect optimal value of product, as we sometimes get prices of some variants wrong or need to (partially) address shifts in tax incentives. Overarching principle, however, is same deal for all.”
“RT @jasondebolt: I’m sad to hear that the model S and model X will be discontinued, but it makes complete sense. I ordered my Tesla model…”
“@G_Whitehead5 @DMC_Ryan @Model3Owners @Tesla Yes, AWD P first and then AWD. Production costs are always high when line first gets going, so we have to sell higher price versions first or each car will have very negative margins. As production efficiency rises, we can make lower cost versions & not lose money.”
“@PopularEthics @Tesla S is better, but rear seat folds down in Model 3, so bikes can fit in trunk”
“@samuelrogg @ElectrekCo @FredericLambert To be clear, all Model 3 cars, incl early production will have same great braking ability. Nature of any product, however, is that if you care about perfection, you make constant small refinements. Today’s Model S is far more refined than initial production.”
“That’s a happy picture 🥰 [@teslaownersSV] The picture that wins the internet today”
“Cybertruck can beat a Porsche 911 while towing a Porsche 911!”
“@sulka First approximation of CO2 is production cost, factoring in energy source, so Model 3 obv less CO2 to produce than $35k gas car by a lot”
“@simonhackett @ToddBourne @Tesla Yeah, that should improve soon. Software team has been buried in Model 3 bringup and tricky bug fixes, but that’s mostly done now.”
“Just drove Cybertruck around Austin! https://t.co/QN19Agqa7R”
“Model S in drag queen competition @CARandDRIVER http://t.co/SHSkETbbWm http://www.teslamotors.com/sites/default/files/blog_attachments/the-slipperiest-car-on-the-road.pdf”
“@FredericLambert Yes, but Model 3 is the overwhelming priority”
“RT @tesla_na: 4 reasons why the Model 3 is the #1 selling sedan in America: 1. Made 2. In 3. America 4. $299/mo and only $1k down”
“Am in Oslo to thank the Norwegian customers of @TeslaMotors personally. Highest Model S orders per capita in the world.”
“@theKen_Miller Sorta. Model 3 is like a BMW 3 series or Audi A4. Model S is like BMW 5 and 6 series, but much faster, more storage space + Autopilot”
“Motor Trend tests Model S as fastest American sedan at 3.9 sec 0-60 mph and tied for 1st worldwide in stopping distance”
“@chriscardinal Games & other refinements will go to all Tesla S, X & 3 from start of production. Autopilot enhancements apply to all Model 3’s plus S & X made in last few years (needs Autopilot Hardware V2.0 or higher).”
“Model S limits torque if brake & accel simul pressed. Going to zero torque with brake press would be a safety hazard.”
“@Skate_a_book Yes. Model S will always be the fastest Tesla until next gen Roadster, which is a few years away.”
“@AntVenom @zacharyj98 Depends on when you placed your initial reservation. We start delivering the dual motor Model 3 in July.”
“@Rengle820 Model S P100D is def still the top end, but Model 3 Performance is higher value for money”
“Cybertruck looks like the future”
“Great explanation of the @TeslaMotors announcement by @TechCrunch http://t.co/rTHX6LofOE http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/02/tesla-motors-partners-with-wells-fargo-and-us-bank-to-finance-model-s-electric-cars/”
“You can now buy a Tesla with Bitcoin”
“@teslamodel3fan @FredericLambert @MacTechGenius @blundell_apps Answers: Yes. No. Doesn't matter.”
“@skynetcomputer Yeah, it's better than a Model 3. We can put a lot more in a car at a higher price.”
