Tesla in @boringcompany tunnel with retractable wheel gear that turns a car into a rail-guided train & back again
This can be applied to any autonomous, electric vehicle, not just Tesla
Capable of traveling safely at over 150mph. At that speed, it will feel like teleporting within a city.
All Boring Loops will include continuously circulating cars dedicated to pedestrians & cyclists

Just finished an amazing 3 day visit to China. The world has never seen human energy & vigor at such scale. Incredibly impressed with Tesla China team & potential for the future.
Excellent meetings with senior leaders in China. Very thoughtful about the long-term future.
With my team after a profoundly interesting discussion of history, philosophy & luck with Vice President Wang in 中南海紫光阁

1/ Thread on EU M3 pricing/leasing in Europe's biggest auto market Germany. $TSLA $TSLAQ #tesla

With opening of the configurator for M3, it has become possible to compare pricing and leasing of M3 vs peers in Germany. THREAD
@TeslaCharts @markbspiegel @ChrisSpelter @Polixenes13
2/ Tesla bulls & teslemmings of all sorts have been bragging about M3 leasing in EU. Conservative bulls have been est M3 potential in excess of 100k units p.a.

As so often, few facts, but bragging was limited to statements, such as "highly competitive". Let's have a look. $TSLA
3/ First finding was the fact that contrary to news reports in media during Dec 2018, starting price for the M3 dual motor is not €57,900. Largely unnoticed, it was lowered to €55,400. It is not clear why - it seems that the lower price came with opening of configuration. $TSLA

 A little side thread on Japanese Auto industry as I keep on posting threads on Panasonic & #Tesla. It’s useful to know who is allied w/ whom as we consider the Pana-Tesla relationship. For non-auto ppl, because it’s all common knowledge for auto ppl.

$TSLA $TSLAQ
2/
 As a major supplier of navigation & auto infotainment equipment (among other parts), Pana has relationship w/ all Japanese Auto co’s. Toyota remains the closest ally, although Pana also works w/ Honda & others on Automotive batteries.
3/
 Just like its US & European counterparts, consolidation of Auto industry is slowly happening. There are currently 8 major auto co’s based in Japan, all in top 30 in the world by sales #.

Was going to do that '1 like = 1 F1 opinion' but that seemed a bit off brand, so:

For every like this tweet gets I will tweet about a weird electric vehicle
Ok, so, you've heard of that one South African guy who makes electric cars but you probably haven't heard of the Optimal Energy Joule, a Cape Town project that never went to commercial production. Designed by the guy who did the F-Type, it collapsed as a project in 2012:
This one you can actually buy, despite looking like a retrofuristic concept, so long as you have a very large amount of cash. It's the Mercedes Maybach Vision which is one of the weirdest cars I've ever seen - there's basically nothing in that enormous bonnet and it's 2.2m long
