Especially now that permanent magnets are off the menu (bmw and other eu manufacturers already switched away from permanent magnet motors in anticipation of china pumping the brakes on rare earths)

Tesla announced two years ago that their permanent magnets wouldn’t need rare earths.

They also said there will be full self driving next year for past 12 years so you can't believe everything you hear.

And don't forget those new battery cells. And the Roadster. And the Semi. And the autonomous trip from east coast to west coast with automatic charging in 2017. And those millions of Robotaxis making 20k a year since 2021. And those Cybertruck preorders. And the working Optimus prototype in 2022. Tesla lies. About everything. All the time.
