Plus: Italian job to get Semi, Tesla Mexico stuck, Ads to stay and more
Hey S3XY š§¤, New note by Adam Jonas suggests that broadly 80% of US automotive market (even more outside US) is left out unserved by Tesla due to lack of product offerings. Things sure does move fast at Tesla but given competition in EVs and back to back launches by Chinese rivals especially BYD, Tesla needs to up their game on this front before it gets too late.
We literally lost count of BYD refreshing up their lineup since last two months and their pace of expansion plans in other countries outside China to set up manufacturing facilities is next level.
Now that āOperation vacationā is rolling, itās time for Tesla to set sights on producing 20M vehicles ASAP and fill in the vacuum.
And some other highlights from todayās letter šØ:
Unreal FSD fail.
Cheap bots are coming.
Electric Toyota Hilux.
Renaultās battery play.
Letās take a dive..šš»

TESLA BULLETS
Need of an hour: Does Adam Jonas of Morgan Stanley hinting here that we might soon see āTesla Vanā along with low cost āModel 2ā.
Indispensable China: Tesla VP Tao Lin on importance of āTesla Chinaā in recent interview.
Ouch: FSD v12.3 fails to detect fairly large boxes on its way and hit those; even worse, older v11.4 did handled those boxes well.
Whatās cooking? Tesla and Mexico rumored to stuck over type of chargers to be used at charging stations.
Exploring: Tesla advertisement on home page of cars.com, looks like it isnāt restricting itself to big social platforms. Would we also see Tesla ads in mainstream media or big events going forward?
Wider reach: FSD v12.3.1 starts rolling out in Canada.
Auto show: Tesla to take part in Polandās āPoznaÅ Auto Showā.
Luring: Italian listened to Elon at Giga Berlin about two weeks ago, when he mentioned that 'Producing the Semi truck in Berlin for the European market makes sense'. Now, they are striving to persuade Elon to consider Italy instead of Berlin given expansion blockades there.

WHISPERS
There are levels to visualising the future and āElon & teamā is right at top most quadrant of that graph thereby all these unbelievable innovations look so obvious to us now.
Back when I worked at Tesla, I had a conversation with my Country Director, who had recently been over to Fremont, for a week of meetings, Sales & Marketing related. All Country Directors had to present their markets.

How FSD reacts to real life scenario of humans popping out of nowhere.
It really warms my heart to know that FSD safety features are actively monitoring the surroundings for vulnerable road users.
Human pops out of nowhere, looks to be heading for the middle of the street, FSD v12.3 alerts me, applies brakes enough to reduce to a safe speed, then⦠twitter.com/i/web/status/1ā¦ā Edge Case (@edgecase411)

Just another day of Tesla avoiding collision that human driver might not have.
Wow, my Tesla just saved me from an accident. Utterly shakin.
It SLAMMED on the breaks, and I didnāt even notice the car 3 cars away slammed in his breaks. I was tired and I wouldāve hit the car in front of me. My mind is blown.
@elonmusk amazing. Wasnāt even on FSD.
