Tesla missed market estimates for third-quarter deliveries on Monday as planned upgrades at its factories to roll out a newer version of the Model 3 mass-market sedan forced production halts.
  • Tesla reported a decrease in total deliveries for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the previous quarter, delivering 435,059 vehicles.
  • Despite the decline in deliveries, Tesla achieved a production of 430,488 vehicles, highlighting its manufacturing capabilities.
  • The decrease in deliveries and production was anticipated due to summer shutdowns for factory upgrades and price reductions on inventory vehicles and existing models.

      It’s $99/year. If you can afford a Tesla you can afford that. The software in the car is damn good.

        No. Not everything should be commodified. Once I buy an appliance or a vehicle, I own it, and there is no reason, other than greed, that I should not be able to repair, modify, and use all the features that are included without paying extra fees. Life isn’t supposed to be expensive. Life is, in fact, free

          And you are able to live without that car/service/thingy-madoo that costs money…all completely free.

          Commodities and luxuries however do cost money to obtain and use…
