American electric car manufacturer Tesla is postponing the start of production of its controversial Cybertruck pickup until early 2023.
Before starting mass production, Tesla is refining the pickup’s appearance and features to make them even more appealing, according to a source familiar with the matter, cited by Reuters news agency.
I would rather wait for an official announcement from Tesla than trust these “informed” sources. When it comes to Tesla, there have been quite a few news stories that have ultimately turned out to be false information. Well, January 26th is soon, and I assume we will hear the official truth then. I also assume that Cybertruck production will begin in H2.
"Canadian authorities are concerned that a faulty air conditioning system could affect windshield defrosting and thus visibility, Reuters reports.
The agency urges Tesla to report the defect to the transport authority and car owners, and to issue a recall."
Brand loyalty and its durability will be measured if a recall is issued for electric vehicles.
Tekniikan Maailma had a big article about Model 3 experiences. After reading the test, I got a rather bearish feeling about the writers.
” So I’m giving Tesla FSD an “F” when it comes to self-driving. In fact it clearly shouldn’t have that name, as many have pointed out. It should have a driver-assist name, so I will call it “Street Autopilot”. ”
In recent days, I’ve read several articles all presenting the same research finding: 2/3 of car buyers are not interested in electric cars. What if these people’s opinions don’t change by 2030?

Could FSD/Mobileye/others be moved here now that one has been created for it 
I changed the title, as some crazy person has given me that possibility, so perhaps this will be easier to find in the future:
Yes, seconded, i.e., all autonomous driving and its development concerning Tesla FSD, Mobileye, Waymo, Lidar, and others, should go into the designated discussion thread.
What do you mean? Do you consider the story to be bad or biased in some way? In my opinion, the story was a factual long-term test report. Both good and bad features were found in the Tesla. It was also mentioned that many shortcomings observed in the test unit have been corrected in new versions. It wasn’t a perfect car, but neither are other cars.
I found some of the comments strange, and I didn’t really find much praise for the car. Of course, this could be the case, as I don’t have experience with the vehicle in question. Among other things, it was criticized that the rear end slides out with friction tires and that they wear unevenly. I would argue that the same phenomenon can be observed with any powerful rear-wheel-drive car. And it didn’t even state which of the listed faults had already been corrected. It just mentioned that some had been fixed.
Everything always comes on time and as promised. And well. I doubt people will wait for them much. I once canceled my Model 3 order for the same reason, and I must say it was one of the best decisions of my life.

This doesn’t bother me too much, at least. The company is known to invest heavily in manufacturability, as in this case.
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) will certainly benefit investors in the future, as products will generate healthy margins for a long time instead of rushing to market in hopes of quick stock market gains.
The EV race is a marathon.
Tesla advertises in the NYTimes:

This directly relates to the company and its reputation management. That’s why I linked it here and not in the autonomous driving thread.
Traditional car manufacturers waste money on marketing, but Tesla doesn’t.
I will follow with interest how this grassroots movement grows. A pretty okay negative ad.
It happened to come out around the same time as Tesla’s released safety statistics, which at least without comparable data, seem good.
Huh?
Did you even read what you linked? Someone other than Tesla is advertising there.
Google sarcasm.
FSD is becoming a huge image loss for the company.
I might be used to a slightly more mature discussion culture on forums, but I guess sharp banter is the new normal.
But yeah, it’s a real image problem. There are YouTube videos analyzing an unfinished product, which even has “beta” in its name.
“Competitor” hitpiece. More specifically, a legacy car component supplier.
